Econo Lodge Inn & Suites East

The toilet flooded over night and smoked my clothes, and the answer for this by the staff was to give me the employee discount on a future stay, and the employee discount was the same price as the Expedia price, plus who would want a “discount” that just gives them more money after damaging my belongings

The stay was good since we were really only there to sleep I could feel the springs of the mattress but it wasn’t enough to keep me from sleeping It was quiet and close enough to Minute Maid Park for the game Lots of nearby restaurants

They say they serve breakfast until 9:00am, but I witnessed no food other than Twinkies, cold cereal, toast, and (thank goodness) bananas. There was an empty fridge, empty hot food area, and empty area that was probably supposed to hold oatmeal. I've also never seen a "gone for 5 minutes" sign at the front desk so often. This was also the first time I've been hit on by the guy checking me in to the point where he said he's into older women. I locked all the locks on my door.

During check in, I got my room key to go on the 2nd floor. The room I selected was nonsmoking, however when I went to the room assigned to me, it smelled like someone just got done smoking a pack of Newports and there was urine in the toilet seat. I immediately requested either a transfer or a refund. I got the transfer and the room was much better and smell completely better and it was clean.

I was bitten by bed bugs

The hotel was surprisingly new and nice.

There was a certain musty scent. Sheets were dirty. Room needed a deep clean. Broken telephone and curtain didn’t close fully, so if you were outside my room on the floor you could’ve looked in. The phone not working felt very unsafe. Definitely get what you paid for; except you really could clean the rooms.

Room smelled terrible front desk staff wasn’t no real assistance bed bugs smh it was horrible I had to go buy air freshener and get Lysol from the housekeeping lady the next morning I’ll never ever stay there again

The place was easy to find, right off of I-10 is always convenient. You might think being off I-10, you may be annoyed by the sound of traffic, but surpringly no. Pretty quiet. Different options for fast food, which was nice since the hotel itself didn't have much to offer. "Free continential breakfast" was advertised. Consisted of 2 kinds of cereal, white bread, hot tea, and coffee. The coffee tasted how you would imagine burnt rubber to taste like. Room wasn't super clean, but good enough I guess. Did have towels and soaps for guests. Did include other things like a hair dryer, ironing board, microwave, and a mini fridge. Would honestly stay again but will bring my own coffee pot. And breakfast.

This property had always been our go to place, it was close to where we visit and the amenities were great. Breakfast is hardly an amenity anymore. You have very little choices. Location is close to some restaurants making food easy to get to. The rooms are in need of some repairs. Our room did not have the security latch on the door. Housekeeping walked in on my friend while she showered. Housekeeping was only trying to exchange our towels but there still was no privacy in this situation and a lack of awareness. We're hoping that management is working on updating the property as it's a prime location. Additionally, the 2nd floor feels unstable as you walk just past the stairs, in front of vending area and in front of the upstairs lobby. Definitely may be from old water damage.
