Econo Lodge Santee

This motel was very clean and comfortable. The free breakfast was enjoyable.

They provided a clean, safe and comfortable space for travelers looking for just that. The breakfast was good and fresh and hot. It wasn't purported to be anything fancy but it performed it's job excellently. We would stay there again.

Plus -- convenient to I95. Beds and pillow comfortable, safe environment, towels , HVAC . Minus -- long hair in tub and glob of hair at tub draiin. Who cleaned the tub and did not notice the hair and backup of water in rhe tub? My hair is short in length. When I pulled back the bed spread and blanket there were a few strands oc dog hair on the bed sheet. Therefore sheets fr rooms that allow dogs are washed together with all sheets. Staff should have noticed the hairs. Atleast pluck the dog hairs off or put new sheets on. Cleanliness and sanitary conditions of a room are number one requirements and importance for my hotel stay..

Ok budget hotel, worn furniture stains on shower curtain otherwise ok, would use again for the price

I was driving to FL and normally I drive 12 hours straight but it's winter and gets dark earlier. I prefer to avoid driving at night if I can. So I decided to break up the drive and made a reservation at this hotel. Of course for just spending a few overnight hours, I didn't want to pay $90+, and I had my cat with me so I needed a pet friendly place. The price was reasonable, $77 including the pet fee, but the room was far less than clean that I first realized. The bathroom faucet and spigots were filthy, including the mirror frame, the bathroom and floor around it had various hairs on the floor, the bathroom countertop wasn't clean. There was a beer can (or soda possibly) tab under one of the night stands. Suffice to say I never let sock covered feet let alone bare feet touch the floor. The mini fridge was fine to chill some wine but the shelves were rusty. Being a woman staying by myself, I put two chairs up against the door loaded with items from my car (in addition to a deadbolt and chain lock). When I checked in that night, the breakfast area off the reception area was dark but I wasn't impressed. I didn't even take a shower the next morning even though I wanted to in theory, that's how turned off I was by the shower and bathroom. Just reloaded the car, got coffee at McDonald's and continued south. Couldn't get out of there soon enough. Still grossed out. The rooms need to be renovated, modernized and CLEAN!!!!!!

Older property. Small maybe under some renovation. breakfast a joke. substandard...

Our first time visiting; late night arrival at our halfway point between Delaware and Florida. As expected for budget hotels/motels, the obligatory 2 queen beds, fridge, microwave, desk, TV and dresser, in a square-ish room, where everything doesn't fit. Coffee maker, soap, cups, shampoo, conditioner, iron, etc., available. Places to gas up and grab a bite to eat close by. Room was clean, beds made nicely, towels and shower curtain folded/tucked neatly. Everything was clean, neat and orderly! It was a basic room, where we could sleep for the night safely and comfortably, shower and watch some TV. Not bad for $77. The lady who checked us in late at night was friendly and chipper! (We booked our room an hour before, thru Trip Advisor/Expedia.) Owner/manager who checked us out was very friendly. We had a nice conversation about we having only tepid water to shower with, and he explaining how they had just replaced their water heating system with a tankless/on-demand system a few days before and still working out the kinks. Overall, no complaints. But, if I really wanted a HOT shower, it would have been an issue. I'd stay, again.

More clean small room but great to access to the room

Not our type of hotel Seemed like a lot of people living there and location was not nice

No so good.. The room had a smell dust everywhere and found hair in the bath tub.. plus floor was not really clean
