- Delonike (1/5): - The location was nice and quiet...But I can see why it's roaches infested! Roaches
- Zach (7/5): I enjoyed it. - For the price it’s great. Some of the outlets don’t work, there were a few bugs I saw.
- Ricky (10/5): - had a great stay at this hotel. The location was very convenient and easy to get around, quiet and safe. My room was spacious, comfortable, and well-kept, which made it easy to relax after a long day. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I would definitely stay here again.

- Guest (7/5): -
- Chandler (10/5): - The staff were friendly, the hotel environment felt welcoming and made for a peaceful trip.
- Giovanni Tomas Guzman (2/5): - The refrigerator needed defrosting, I wasn’t able to store my diabetic supplies. (My insulin) During my whole stay, housekeeping never cleaned my room. I needed an iron and ironing board and they gave me a filthy ironing board. Absolutely no breakfast at all. I called the hotel ahead of time to ask if there was a shuttle to the airport and she said she didn’t know. Taxi and Uber were not available according to the front desk staff. I will never return to this place. EVER!!!
- Maluisa (8/5): Good - Accessible Early check in
- Ted (1/5): Deceptive in practice of fees and third party fees , lied about returning my funds. Moved the charges to (April 2025, $2 - Nothing -the constant smell of illegal drugs (Marijuana) Informed staff but met with same results (Ok).
- Atwell (7/5): Ok - There was none! Liked? Price compared to other ones in Waynesboro The noise and doors to ajoing room didn't lock properly
- Tera (1/5): Bad - Nothing The rooms weren't up to par.. we didn't stay here.
- Leeper (1/5): Better beds/maintaince and pest control - Staff and location Beds were hard German roaches in room 211 no light in bathroom working ac leaked inside room
- Cameron (7/5): Good -
- Theresa (6/5): - The pool area and pool was fine. Staff friendly. Rooms were okay, floor needed swept.
- Felicia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dimarco (4/5): - The front desk person was great. The place looked appropriate for the stay. There were roaches in the room. I was able to inspect the place prior. I did not see any roaches. After reading reviews I asked about roaches. I was told that there were no roaches. That was a disappointment to see
- NONA (4/5): - From the outside the facility seemed nice and up-to-date; marquee showed HBO, Showtime and breakfast. On checking in, the lobby was dingy and the breakfast area was dark...very dark. The room was in serious need of updating to meet today's minimum level of travel convenience. Electrical outlets are worn out and the plug falls out. No USB outlets or convenient electrical outlets to charge phones or other personal electronic items. Had to use the stairs because I couldn't find an elevator. Stairwell fire doors were permanently blocked open even though the sign on the door said to keep the door closed. No HBO or Showtime or breakfast as stated on the front of the sign. The saving grace is that there's a McDonalds next door for breakfast. Ah, the glamour of traveling!
- solomon (6/5): - Loud noises at night
- Donald (2/5): - Found a chicken bone in the bath tub drain, white substance on head board, dirty walls, chair covered in dirt.
The worst place I ever stayed!!!
- Shann (9/5): Superb -
- joseph (4/5): - Multiple light fixtures and outlets didn’t work
- Shantae (4/5): - Multiple things were bad there. (dim lighting, smells like a mixture of mold and weed, bugs in the bathroom, I can hear the neighbor on his phone- and he wasn't even talking loudly, etc.) But if you need somewhere to sleep for a couple hours for cheap- this is that.
- Mary (6/5): Needs a reno - If we need to go back to that area, we would not stay there. It smelled funky.
- Lisa (6/5): - The Econolodge was a disappointment. The carpeting in the hallways were so stained. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the stench. The whole place really smelled bad. Then going into the room there was a chair in the corner with all the vinyl ripped off of the seat. It should have been at the dump, it was truly that bad. The shelving in the bathroom had chipped paint. There was not a smoke detector in the room. But there were wires hanging from where there was supposed to be one. Whoever owns that Econo Lodge should be ashamed of themselves. On a positive note… The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Econo lodge… Do better
- Fred (10/5): - Th facility was on the poor to minimal condition.
I was fortunate to get a reservation with most or all facilities in the area being full due to the supply and demand due to the masters tournament…. But I would not recommend the hotel if you have any options
- Amy (1/5): Bad -
- Verified traveler (6/5): Okay stay for price - We checked in late on our first night there and overnight front desk didn’t seem well trained on system. We had a second floor room and they don’t have elevators at this property so had to carry luggage up stairs and room was presentable for price paid but room did have some small bugs
- Nia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Theresa (2/5): It was a filthy, roach infested nightmare !!! - We did not participate in this- we went out for breakfast Our room was infested with roaches 🪳 It was impossible to sleep for fear of roaches crawling on us.
There was dead bugs on the floor and the bathroom was not clean. We had to stand on a towel in the tub as we showered. The bath towels had visible stains, the microwave was filthy- beyond disgusting 🤢 This was a horrific experience akin to a nightmare. We were given a can of roach spray 🤮
- Kamarriya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zachary (10/5): - I love the customer service and the cleaning crew, they were awesome.
- Courtney (9/5): Superb - I didn’t get a chance to get breakfast
- Randy (3/5): Won't stay there again if i don't have too. - Room very dirty with roaches hire new cleaning crew
- Paula (3/5): Poor - The security door at the end of the hall was propped open. Not safe. We had roaches in our room
The room was not stocked with necessaries toliet paper, etc. Not clean. Our door security lock was broken and our door was almost impossible to clise. There was not a hot breakfast as advertised.
- Kristina (1/5): Disappointed and money wasted. - Nothing The hotel is outdated and renovation definitely needed, the pictures online are not actually what the property looked like.
- Eric (7/5): Good -
- Gregg (1/5): Beware - Nothing. Everything smelled like cigarettes. Dead roaches and cigarette butts in room. 2 lamps were missing bulbs. Dimly lit parking lot.
- Brandon (1/5): Bad -
- Darelys (2/5): - Todo estaba sucio
- Brandon (1/5): Bad -
- andrew (2/5): - Expedia sold me a room that didn’t exist. Drove an hour and nothing available and no reservation.
- Wendi (2/5): Very poor -
- Terry (2/5): - No electricity
power lines down
Could not check in need my money back
The phone lines are down can’t contact the office or guess services
- Jason (2/5): - Total sh*tbox. Everything was broken. The toilet seat was flopped around. The bathroom faucet was just hanging by the inner tubing. The AC took three hours to get down from 90 F. The entire second floor smelled like cigarette smoke.
- Midgette (8/5): - Overall it was good the lamps were Dusty and I found hair in the shower and trash under the bed so it could have been more cleaner but the staff was excellent
- Debra (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Better furniture
- Lashawna (1/5): I did not enjoy my stay. I was there for a funeral if I knew it was that way I wouldn’t have booked it. I wish I could g - The property needs major upgrades. I did not like anything there if I didn’t pay in advance, I wouldn’t have stayed. Everything was horrible. The rooms were dirty. Bugs was everywhere. The staff was never around.
- Rebecca (2/5): - This was the most disgusting room I have ever gotten on my vacation. There was cockroaches in the bathroom It had a 25 inch hair on the bathroom wall and I am blonde hair so you do the math. The toiletries they had the shampoo was half used and set back. I will upload pictures after my vacation and the toilet had black rings all inside it this room had not been cleaned at all. There was no toilet paper I checked out a day before my departure time due to not wanting my kids to stay here. Kids and people screaming so loudly and so late. I would not recommend my dog stay here they should have someone checking these rooms after they are supposedly cleaned. I have all pictures to prove all this after my vacation I do intend to take this up with my trip adviser. This was so horrible the smell of weed was all over the hotel and gentleman smoking out at the pool watching ladies swim I wasn’t able to swim due to this. It’s obvious this hotel does not care anything about their visitors or their cleanliness for that matter. This was just the worst worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The front desk lady with the gold teeth was the only thing out of that hole one day stay at that hotel she was the sweetest. There was three bags of trash, sitting at the top of the stairs the day we arrived. It was sitting there the next day, sticky stuff all over the stairs cockroaches in the bathroom. This hotel was so nasty. It should be shut down.
- Jackie (8/5): - It was ok
- Christin (1/5): Employees steal your belongings here . - We were in town for a funeral. After we checked out my husband realized he left his shoes in the box in the room we called the hotel back and asked had the housekeeper turned them in they said no . we turned around to go back to the hotel because we knew he left his shoes in the room and no one else can get in the room except people with a key. The woman on the phone at the hotel proceeds to tell me we left the door open when we checked out . Which I know we didn't . Then she also tells me she does not work the morning shift . So I then ask her how she knows the door was left open then. how on earth can it be ok for this "business ' to allow employees to outright steal the customers belongings is beyond me this is something I've never experienced at a hotel and I would never recommend this place to anyone . He left his information at the front desk we never heard anything else and didn't expect to . Bad business at its best !
- Joseph (1/5): Bad won’t be staying again - The location was in a bad area of town. The rooms were nasty. Comforters had bleach stains all over them, there were roaches in the room, sheets looked like they hadn’t been cleaned at all, toilet paper wasn’t even restocked. The cleanliness, I was charged the wrong price and now I’m having to fight to get my refund back.
- Gregtina (1/5): NEVER AGAIN - This was worst hotel stay ever, I immediately left after 30 minutes. The room itself was not what we expected. The room had no remote control. There were dead bugs and live roaches on the walls and in the bathroom behind the door and in the tub this place should be condemned and shut down literally. We left and went to go stay at the Hampton inn down the street. Couldn’t get a refund back but at the very moment I just wanted to leave the place and find comfort where else I didn’t like nothing about our room, we asked for a non smoking room but instead it still smelled as if people were smoking in there room and room next door were very loud and playing loud music this place looked like a ran down rooming house for people off the streets.
- Logan (1/5): Hotel from Hell - The hallways needed to be vacuumed badly. There was also an odd smell leading upstairs maybe cigarettes. Once we made it upstairs we noticed a dirty fold-away bed at the end of the hallway. Once we entered the room we checked the beds. The sheets looked clean but the bedspread had holes in it. Then I went into the bathroom and the tub looked like it has never been cleaned. It was supposed to be a white tub but looked brown and yellow with visible dirt and soap scum. The tv volume wouldn’t work. We decided to change rooms and went downstairs and they happily gave us the new key to a new room. We walked into the room on the first floor and the walk in shower looked clean but the tile was also darker so hard to tell. Then we checked the bedding and there was a mattress protector on this one unlike the one upstairs. There was visible blood spots on it! Clearly they had bed bugs. We left and didn’t even waste our time on getting a refund! Do yourself a favor.. spend the extra money and stay at the Hampton!
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good - Staff is amazing and super helpful! Easiest check in! Older building just needs a little updating
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Benton (10/5): Exceptional - Staff
- Benton (4/5): Disappointing - Staff The room was dirty no soap and stuff in bathroom for me to wash my hands no coffee 🙃
- Bobby (7/5): Good -
- George (4/5): - Needs knocked down
- Darrell (6/5): - The price was reasonable, however housekeeping only provided service one day out of my four day stay.
- Darrell (6/5): - The price was very reasonable. However during my four day stay, housekeeping only made one visit for cleaning and restocking of the room.
- Latoyn (8/5): Very good - The customer service No breakfast
- Bennefield (6/5): Pleasant - The room was pretty big They had roaches and the blankets were so thin
- Sanauya (8/5): - I love this hotel. It’s my go to spot for when I’m in town. Affordable prices and a decent space. I always have a nice experience here, the employees are super friendly and helpful when it comes to minor issues like losing a keycard. However this stay that I had the only issue was that housekeeping didn’t come by to replace any towels or give anymore tissue paper. Other than that I have nothing bad to say overall l. 9/10!
- Jona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ricky (2/5): No a good place to stay - The worst hotel that I stayed in.
Room was not clean.The Tv had problems getting it to work. There was no breakfast but you offered in the booking info.
- Wooden (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mar’kayla (7/5): Good -
- LaTonia (4/5): Disappointed - I felt bamboozled. The internet pictures and what was reality did not match. I took pictures of the filth. I was scared to take a shower; the tub did not look sanitized. It was a roach in the sink and the ice in the refrigerator. It was ants in the bed. It was a horrible experience. There was an odor that would not go away in the hall. I would post the name of it, but it was an illegal drug odor. However, the staff was nice and pleasant. If the funeral services were not close by, my family and I would have left.
- Laura (2/5): - I arrived at night and could not reach anyone to assist with checkin. Had to move locations due to ataff not being available.
- Michael (6/5): - I stayed here years ago and was satisfied and that led to my staying here this time. Front desk staff is very pleasant and helpful, parking is ample and well lighted. Entry and hallway appear to have been upgraded, that's the end of any positive impressions, furnishings are worn and dated and there is no telling when the room had a thorough cleaning (dust balls around the edge of the room as well as the seat of the couch. If it weren't late in the evening I'd be seeking different accommodations.
- Jessica (6/5): - Other than being dirty, everything else was fine.
- Jeffrey (6/5): - Clean room
- Harris (1/5): Bad - Nothing ! It had bugs everywhere Everything was bad
- Satara (6/5): - I didn’t like the fact that the cleanliness of the place was subpar. The waffle iron had not been cleaned in a awhile and the bathroom had mold. The fridge was not clean and although HBO and Wi-Fi was free; it wasn’t enough to overlook the things that weren’t up to standard. Moreover, the pool was not clean.
- John (5/5): Desk clerk was the best, but working 70 hrs a week. Second day, no hot coffee. Only muffins and cereal available. - Location No breakfast as advertised.
- William (2/5): - nothing
