Econo Lodge Tallahassee Downtown - University

Staff was very personable

Location

Needs to update everything

It was very accommodating.

I have stayed at the Econolodge on Apalachee Parkway several times due to its convenient location for work and nearby restaurants and parks. However, my recent stay during Hurricane Helen was a major disappointment. Despite the motel advertising that it had a generator, I learned upon check-in that this was not the case. Additionally, I was surprised to find that an extra $50 was held for each room as a deposit, even though I had already paid for the rooms through Expedia. While the motel was packed and there was minimal noise, we were fortunate to avoid power outages as Hurricane Helen passed over our area with minimal damage. However, the lack of a generator was a significant oversight, especially given the circumstances. The rooms themselves also require more investment. The bathroom lights and exhaust fan buzzed loudly, forcing me to turn them off completely. The bathroom drawers were not installed properly, and only one of the two rooms had a coffee maker. Due to these issues, I will not be booking this motel again for emergency situations like hurricanes. I hope that the management will take these concerns into consideration and make the necessary improvements to provide a better experience for future guests.

The beds and ceiling

We brought our own bed sheets and pillows to be safe but there’s honestly look stylish and clean. this place shocked us with how great it was! We paid $800 for family weekend but had a great stay. Parked right up front, bathrooms are newly renovated and clean. Floors are laminate so you don’t have to worry about gross carpet and room was cool and minimally musky. Def bring your own sheets and comforter but it’s a good stay. We walked everywhere. Went to the game, 5 miles round trip

Breakfast was shite

My only complaint is... Hot water in sink worked, but in shower it never got hot...
