Guest Reviews
- Zoey (1/5): -
- Cody (10/5): Amazing - I love franklin It was great
- Trevor (7/5): -
- kim (8/5): - For a value hotel is was very clean. There was no dust on furniture or hair on the floor. I was surprised to see shampoo and conditioner in the shower as well as a hair dryer. Water pressure was good and lots of hot water.
Bed was comfortable. The shower curtain kept sliding open from both sides. It' was not a problem for us but might create issues in the future from the floor getting wet.

- Sergey (10/5): - I've got maximum low price among other choices here.
- Cory (4/5): - Not a bad property. I just didn't like when I was getting ready to ask for an iron they tried to call their self charging me $20 because I booked it online. Never heard of such a thing where they try to charge you $20 and I said something and then luckily I didn't have to pay. They said they had to check how the room looked and basically making sure I didn't break nothing which I didn't it I was the only one in the hotel room no one else n it was the only one decently priced for me for one night because everything in Bowling Green was booked or why too high uggh but o well!

- Wynona Hammonds (10/5): -
- Angel (8/5): - I like that wr had a pool and the staff was very nice and pleasant I did not like the beds it was very uncomfortable. We had to go to Walmart and get a bed foam mattress to go on the bed to make it feel comfortable. Without it our backs were killing us.
- Jacklyn (10/5): - Simple and affordable.
- Trevas (6/5): - Room was okay. Staff were rude and not helpful. Refused to add paid guests to my room count and hung up on Expedia rep when they called to assist.
- Michelle (10/5): - continental breakfast saved $$ we would have spent at cracker barrel. Which, is nice if you don't care to spend the money... cereal, coffee, bagel, juice, toast was fine for us
- Christy (10/5): NICE HOTEL - Nice stay as always. Good and clean.
- Andria (1/5): Will never stay there again. Do NOT recommend! 0 stars given - Any of it. The man at the desk was extremely rude, he threatened my children, while they were swimming (my sister was watching with them at the time). Instead of speaking to the adult first, he chose to threaten the police being called because I had another CHILD in the pool. That child was supposed to be added to the stay. There were roaches in the room and it smelled disgusting.
- Erica (10/5): -
- Derrick (7/5): Comfy and great location, but go elsewhere for breakfast. - Comfortable bed. Nice employees. Great location. The breakfast was not great. A few frozen waffles. Double muffin packages cut in half. Very watered down juice.
- Roving15493044142 (2/5): Never have I ever encountered such a horrible hotel experience - The owner is the rudest person I ever met. We were visiting my sister, a paying guest, and I took her kids and my granddaughter to the pool.
He came out screaming at the kids he was going to call the cops bc my 12 year old who was not a guest was in with the paying guests.
Unbelievably disgusting behavior....Never stay here.
He was willing to scream at amd threaten 3 children ages 8, 11, and 12, because thwy had a guest with them.
Not a CHOICE hotel.
- Brittany (2/5): - Very rude not what we wanted
- Dounia (8/5): Good except the person at breakfast - Very comfortable and clean The person at the breakfast. Very unpleasant. He bothered us because of crumbs under our 2 year old baby's chair. He wanted them to pick it up. He should be given training because he knows absolutely nothing about his job.
- Lindsay (10/5): - For the price it was great! Would have no issue staying again for a quick trip
- S (8/5): Very good -
- Zecco (9/5): Superb - Friendly staff and great parking, close to good restaurants , best pillows Nothing
- Katherine (10/5): Exceptional - The room and staff
- Shanika (10/5): - Great Place Friendly Customer Service
- JC0l (6/5): Not bad at all - I booked using one of those discount sites and wasn't disappointed. Check-in was easy and when I told the clerk I had two new knees he gave me a handicapped room on the first floor. I got in the room and it was already at a comfortable level. There was a micro fridge, hair drier and normal toiletries, no coffee, although there was coffee in the lobby. There was WiFi and cable. The shower was great and the bed was comfortable. There was a continental breakfast in the morning.

- Katherine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ronald (8/5): Very good - Very spacious room and easy to get to. The bed wasn't that comfortable, sunk towards the middle. Pillows were kinda flat.
- Leigh (8/5): Very good -
- Crystal (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - It wasn't mine own bed
- Christopher (9/5): Good stay - Manager is wonderful to deal with and makes stay quiet and comfortable Parking can be a little congested at times when visitors aren't considerate of others
- reuben (4/5): Glad it was cheap - We booked a non smoking room room smelled like smoke and burn holes in comforters and ash tray on table shower had long hair in it and cleaning rag on shower rod room was outdated in appearance breakfast they offered was every limited glad it was included ran out of french vanilla creamer they a 2 slices of white bread for toast and offer mini blueberry muffins that came in a 2 pack they cut the package open left package on it wasnt very professional or showed that they cared just my opinion
- Devension (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tammy (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent
- Sadie D (10/5): Make a few changes please. - Usually we enjoy our stay. We stay here all the time, if it's not available we change our plans. However, I'm not sure if there's new management, but it went from no incidental to 20 in cash, to 50 in cash. We asked for the 1st floor and they said they were sold out but we were the only ones there for 2 days... literally the only cars except ours was the workers. I'm a choice member and usually i can get a noon checkout, with this stay the agent was dead set on 30 minutes. We just went ahead and left at checkout. When it was time for towels, we gave them the dirty ones and the guy gave us a floor mat and a bath towel. We'll stay again because we do like it. But they might need to add the incidental charge changes on the website. Retrain housekeeping. And lose the attitude when something is questioned. When i questioned the incidental charge recent change, i was told if i didn't like it i could stay somewhere else. I just wanted to know why it keeps changing, i didn't have a problem paying, but i was short because of the unexpected change. Kindness goes a long way.
- Derek (5/5): Passable -
- Travis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cross (1/5): Save Your Money - Leaving Dirty bedding, it wasn't changed from the last person that stayed there I found food under the comforter along with a lighter, the sheets were filthy
- Charles (9/5): Best value for a clean comfortable stay! - This is the best value you will find for a clean, quiet, comfortable stay! The staff is friendly and very helpful. Skip the higher priced hotels! You will be glad you stayed here! NA
- Amanda (1/5): Bad - The room was ok. The management was horrible and disrespectful
- Amanda (1/5): Bad -
- Wander702822 (2/5): Horrific - First of all the guy working in the front desk was probably the rudest person I’ve ever dealt with in my life. Absolutely disgusting a couple somewhat racial slurs then I get to the room and it was dirty. Went back up there to ask for a refund The guy looked me, straighten my eyes and said F… Y… I will never ever step foot on that property again. The date and time was Tuesday Nov 6 around 9pm
- Jon (5/5): Passable -
- Lawson (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carter (1/5): Horrible! - Rude and unprofessional about everything they are about they are horrible I wouldn’t let anyone rent here if I could help them Staff was awful
- Tesha (3/5): Our stay was unsatisfactory - In grounds are very old needed updating the bathrooms dirty real thin pillows only like two for bed and real scratchy sheets. There wasn't really much we did like there Everything
- Judy (8/5): Very good -
- Courtney (3/5): I don’t recommend staying here if you don’t have to - Location was convenient for work related travel Front desk staff was incredibly rude while I was checking in, as well as rude to the employee I’m assuming he was training. In addition, the property over booked for the night leaving colleagues of mine (who traveled from out of state) who had booked in advance to be told they no longer had a room available and had to go somewhere else. I’ve stayed here in the past with a good experience but will never stay again. Breakfast was a poor selection and the light switches in my room were disgusting.
- Amy (6/5): Pleasant - Location. Close to everything, I did not like that they put out those blocks to kill mice and rats. I didn’t see any, but it made me a little nervous that I would.
- Casey (1/5): Horrible. Did not Stay. - Nothing. Absolutely nothing. We arrived at the Econo Lodge after working a 12hr day and we were met with what I assume is the owner of the hotel demanding we pay a $25 cash only deposit. I paid in full online through Booking.com and I told the man that I paid in full. He said that was a third party and this was his policy. He said I would possibly get it back after he checked our room in the morning at check out. I told him I did not carry cash and did not have that because I was not aware of a cash deposit required since it was not stated online. He said he couldn't put it online. I said other hotels I have stayed at have and I am sure he could too. He told me that since I could leave and he would not give me a room He told me to call Booking.com for a refund. We found another hotel but this was absolutely horrible and will never ever stay at any Econo Lodge ever again.
