“Last resort! Never again!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2011

I normally wouldn't stay in a hotel with cheaper prices simply because they lack class and attract the undesirable. The structure is old and needs renovating. The bathtub finish was peeling. The bathtub rubber mat was permanently filthy and would not come clean. So I actually brought lysol and bleach to spray the room down because I literally felt sick. It was disgusting. I could hear footsteps in the room above me on the second floor and well as the couple having sex ALL NIGHT or something making a constant noise against the wall. Too bad every hotel in the city was booked because of some college function/game.

“Never, Never stay here. Staff will ROB you blind”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed at this place for a couple of days while working in Gainesville. Because I travel all the time my suitcase contained over $50 in loose change for laundry and the snack machine. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels across the southeast and this is the only time I have been robbed. My co-worker also had his cologne stolen. Is the staff that under paid that they feel they must load there pockets down with change and cologne? Called the police but of course all they could do was take a report. If you have anything of value DO NOT STAY HERE... Will never stay in an Econolodge again.......

“Disgusting smell of urine permeated room. Horribly maintained pool!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2010

The first thing my family wanted to see was the pool. It was clear that routine maintenance was not being performed. There was a thick layer of flocculated sediment on the bottom and debris all over. The assigned room 107 disgustingly reeked of urine and the bathtub looked old and dirty. The front desk attendant was kind enough to offer another room. By that time all my family wanted to leave and we did. This dinky motel requires 10,000 Choice Hotel points for a free night. It deserves no more than the minimum of 6,000.

“Lifesaver After Bad Experience Elsewhere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2009

Thanks to this Econolodge our travel day ended much better than we thought. We had reservations at the Newberry Inn to stay the night on our trip to Disney World. We needed three rooms and the Econolodge gave us a great rate, the rooms were very clean, and a very well presented continental breakfast the next morning before we got back on the road. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Small but really nice pool which let the children in our group work off some of that pent up travel energy. Thanks again

“Unexpectedly Great!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2009

The rooms were very clean, the front desk agent was great, and they had everything they promised. Completely opposite of the Clarion. I will definitely be returning, this time I'll book with this hotel.
