“Pass on this one!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Although the staff was friendly and the reception area looked inviting, do not be deceived. I thought the location and price were great so decided not to check on rates at the Drury Inn across the street. We sure which we had. The building with the rooms has NOT been renovated like the reception building has. We requested a non-smoking room, but you'd have to hold your breath climbing the stairs and going through the hall with the smoke smell as strong as it was. I was actually worried that we'd be charged for smoking in our room since the smell would drift in each time we opened our door. The water faucets were backwards and it took us running water awhile to figure that out. The bed was awful, so we thought we'd switch to the sofa bed, but there were no linens on it. The curtain not only didn't reach together, but had nothing to open or close it except grabbing the curtain, which was difficult considering it was behind the sofa. Lighting terrible, carpet questionable, and we never could get fresh air to come through the a/c unit. Spend a few more dollars and go elsewhere.

“Never stay there unless you want houskeeping to steal your stuff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2011

Went to hotel and door to bathroom broken off hinges and bedspread with big burn hole and it stunk. Checked out after 3 hrs there at 11 pm. Realized left wallet in dresser and housekeeping of course hadn't seen it. I hate that place in many ways

“Run down and worn out”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2010

Sycamore View Road has many motels to choose from - you should choose a different one. The Econo Lodge is old and worn out though the bed looked newer and was fine. Security seems to be an issue at this location. The Super8 a few blocks away is a better choice, and a few dollars less, even though it's also aging and worn.

“A Dump - Not Safe- Don't Even Think About Booking With Them”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2009

We had booked two rooms for 3 nights and an extra room from the following night for other relatives that were joining us. The receptionist told us we had only 1 night booked but did have the other booking for the next night for our relatives. I showed her the copy of the booking including reservation number but she told me to come back the next day at 11am to see if there was any rooms available. Well first impression of the room was that it had a bad smell, which went after the doors were left open for awhile. The room and bathroom were clean and the room was a good size. If the management has spent money refurbishing them I am not sure what they spent it on. The paintwork was peeling, the doors had many holes on the frame where the locks had been replaced frequently and my first thoughts were "I don't want to stay". Well we dcided to spent the night. The front desk informed us that the guest laundry was not working and neither was the internet. At 10pm a "lady of the Night" knocked on our door by error and left when she realised her mistake, I looked at her through the window and she went to another room. 11:30pm we woke to someone pounding on the door two doors down screaming "let me back in". My brother and his wife who were in a room facing the main road could not sleep for the action going on in the rooms above and beside them. Metal buckets were thrown from the balcony and several ladies were obviously servicing the rooms. This went on until 2am. None of us felt safe and when we went for breakfast the next morning there was hardly anything left..We went to the waffle house for breakfast...very nice. When I told them we would not be staying it would appear they miraculously found our reservations and told us that they could not take any cancellation. Thankfully I had booked through a Hotel reservation site and they handled the situation with Econo Inn.
