I usually stay at nicer hotels like Marriotts or Hiltons so I was not sure what to expect. I did not want to spend a lot of money but I just wanted to stay somewhere clean and affordable. This is exactly what I got at thisTravelodge. I had lots to do the next morning and was pleasantly surprised that they... More

It is the staff members that my wife and I encountered during our three day stay that have left us most puzzled. No eye contact - ever. Upon checking in on the first day (the Wednesday before Thanksgiving) none of the usual formalities regarding the location of our room, services provided, etc. were pro-offered. It felt as though we were... More

Quirky layout was confusing, but made for easy access from several sides. We had to parking a moving truck out back, but was still convenient. Nearby restaurant was a lot of fun. Slightly older place, but clean. Tub floor was springy, but nothing really wrong or non-functional. Our room had a microwave and min-fridge, which was more than most places... More

we had no choice, virtually, because we were visiting family on homecoming weekend. we had read the reviews and had an unpleasant stay several years ago. it is truly a downscale option. two cfl lights in the room make it impossible to read. the bathroom towels are small and have no 'fluff' to them. there is no paper or plastic...

The photos for this place are very deceiving. The exterior and the lobby pics look very nice and updated. WRONG!! We didn't expect luxury for the price, but the room we stayed in was dusty, dirty & very outdated. Needed a rollaway bed which was left in the hallway with very worn bedding on top.We also checked for critters in... More

The photos need to be updated. We have made improvements to the property since I took over 3 months ago. We have added new carpet and beds. We are also working to make the property "Green". If you stay here and have problems please let me know. Our property is not "dirty". I have a great staff that cares about... More

The sheets were dirty as were the floors, table, microwave, and fridge. This is by far the nastiest place i have ever stayed. not to mantion the disgusting hot tub. I just stayed there this weekend and I will be shocked if I dont discover some sort of infestation carried home. More

The curtains wouldn't close. No alarm clock. Mold in the bathroom. Matress and pillows had seen better days a long time ago. Toilet flushed by itself every so often. Bad news! More

I should have trusted the reviews on TripAdvisor. Instead, I thought, "How bad could it be?" How bad? Let me tell you. I'm cheap, but it's not worth the savings. It smelled moldy. (Thank goodness for my can of Lysol, which came in handy here.) My socks turned black on the bottom walking in the room. They don't trust you... More

The room was gross, the mattresses saggy and low to the floor, the areas/rooms outside check-in were filthy, the fridge had a wall of ice in it, the walls looked like they hadn't been painted since 1980. There were mattresses in the hallway, leaned up against the wall. We were on a road trip and by looking at the pictures... More

I stayed here two night with friends while on a road trip. No one complained but I wondered if we were all thinking the same thing about this place.....it was very old and looked as though it had not been remolded/had any work done to it in decades. The room smelled bad, but we were in a smoking room, so... More
