Econo Lodge Cedar Rapids South

There was not much to like

It was old. Doors were old and could see light through them Warped. Dead bolt didn’t work. Nosey and smelled like sewage in the halls. Sounds like a female was being beaten.

This hotel is legitimately disgusting. The entire second floor smells like cigarettes. Aside from the smell, there were 2-3 inches of what looked to be water damage on the door and torn carpet. The beds were made up nicely but the entire place seemed generally dingy. We were going to be staying with a 2 year old and 5 year old and there was just no way. We checked back out and drove the rest of the way home. From the less than 5 minutes we were in the room, my mom and I both had headaches, that’s how strong the smell was. When we told the man at the counter that we couldn’t stay because of the smell, he offered to spray Febreze. I declined and asked him if he could do any refund and he said the best he could do was refund the deposit ($50, to ensure no one is smoking in the rooms). Avoid this hotel at all costs.

The rate and location

Nothing

everything

The woman as we checked out was nice.

The towels and pillow cases had makeup stains on them and it was just overall gross and not thoroughly cleaned at all. I was worried there was bed bugs.
