“For what we paid, this was better than we could have hoped for.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2010

people found this review helpful

People are complaining about the most idiotic things on here. You're not staying at the Hilton, you're spending 40 bucks on a Econolodge. We stayed three nights. The place was clean, and every day when we got back, the room had been completely cleaned from top to bottom. I had left valuables, including a laptop and money, and they were exactly as I left them. The front desk was courteous and kind. The location was just perfect, near tons of stores and restaurants, and only 10 minutes from downtown Raleigh. People complain about wallpaper and a water spot or a faucet not being perfect. They need to get a life and realize how good you're getting it here for fewer than fifty dollars. If you want luxury, pay the hundreds of dollars for luxury. You’re not buying an apartment or moving in; you’re just sleeping there for a few nights. If you want a clean, cozy, quiet (very quiet), comfortable place to sleep at night while on vacation, then this is perfect. I plan to go back.

“Never again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2010

My husband had some medical appointments at Duke Hospital so we choose this hotel to stay one night in. We will never stay again though. First the gentleman that checked us in was rude. Then when we get to our room a funky spell hit us in the face when opened the door. I went to the front to ask for more pillows because the one we had was just about nothing. Also, while I was up there I asked for toilet paper because we had very little in the bathroom with no extra roll. He told me he would have to get a roll for storage and he would bring it down. Well three hours or more passed and still no toilet paper. At 9 pm I called the front to tell them the toilet was broke and continuously run water and that we needed toilet paper. She said she did not have anyone to fix the toilet and that we could come get the toilet paper. Lastly, it advertised free wi-fi and we did not have any. We will never stay at this hotel again.

“Never Going Back to That Hole in the Wall”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2009

I went there to see my sibling graduate, so thank god I wasn't staying in that hotel very long.
First, the hotel is located in a hard to find spot. There are no signs indicating that the hotel is right around the bend.
When I booked the hotel, it said that it included a microwave, which when I checked into the room, it did not. I called the front desk to request one and he acted like he didn't care! He told us to come to the lobby to use the microwave there.
The room was disguisting! The ceiling had brown water damage to it, there was an indent in the bed, the sheets were nasty (we were so horrified that we slept on top of the sheets!), the bathtub faucet for the hot water was broke, so we didn't even get to take a shower!
The worst parts about this experience was that we called to try to change rooms and the front desk clerk said that they were solid booked, but when we looked outside there was like no one in the parking lot and when we filled out the questionaire at the front desk, someone called us a week later and NOTHING got resolved!
I have NEVER stayed somewhere as grotesque as this place and the service was horrible!
I have stayed at cheaper hotels that were like a 5 star resorts compared to this dump!

“I Will Never Return!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2008

Hands down, this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a hotel. I've stayed at similar properties and had no problems, but this hotel was dirty and shady. The price was cheap, but even then I would consider this to be overpriced.

The bathroom was waterstained, the shower curtains where cheap and leaked water all over the bathroom floor, which was tiny anyway. There were stains on the carpet and the room smelled musty. The bedding was circa the 70's, that cheap polyester type that is rough against your skin.

The location isn't bad at all, not a bad neighborhood and it's convienent to the local area, but that doesn't make up for it. On my final night's stay there were a group of teenaged kids that must have rented a room in the back of the hotel for a party and they were all running around tne parking lot and kept me up all night. I will never come back, there are many other inexpensive hotels in Raleigh to chose from.
