Econo Lodge Inn & Suites

Scam. Paid over $100 for a room with breakfast. No breakfast. Age showed a wonderful breakfast bar. Rip-off Loud, too. Banging all night and woke up at 5:00 AM by loud vehicles. Decent WiFi though. Room was clean. Had refrigerator. Bed was comfortable.

The woman at check in was very nice. However, the room was not. As soon as we entered the room we noticed how dated it was.(not a big deal, you get what you pay for). In terms of cleanliness it didn’t meet the minimum requirements. We found our towels on the bathroom floor used, and all the shampoo and etc were all thrown in the sink and empty. Front desk provided us with new items promptly. There was mouse poop in the bathroom. The breaker box in our room was recalled in all homes and businesses in the 80s for fire safety. So seeing that didn’t give us peace of mind. The AC unit had mold. There was shavings (what we hope) and a mouse trap next to the mini fridge. As well what looked like blood/vomit on the wall. We ended up going to Walmart and got our own cleaning supplies. Hair all over the bathroom as well. If the bed wasn’t made, I would’ve thought we checked into a dirty room. We had driven a long way and needed to sleep, which was the only reason we stayed. And once we cleaned the room ourself it felt much better. But that shouldn’t be needed. You can run a cheap hotel with dated things, but still clean the rooms properly. The things you notice around the room in terms of upkeep scream “landlord special”. Pros: Nice staff and convenient location

We stayed at this hotel and visited Salem on Halloween weekend. all the hotels near or in Salem were outrageously priced and as expected. If we wanted to keep it under 100 bucks a night, we had to stay here, and that was with a LFF rate discount. We had no working heat in the room from the start, but the clerk was nice enough to lend us a space heater. That little heater actually did a pretty good job. There were no other smoking rooms available that night. The clerk was looking for a new room to put us in and my gf smokes, so i did not want to risk the smoke fee in a non smoking room. There was just no way I was going to pay even more to stay here by any chance at this point. The bathroom floor and room rug were kind of dirty, almost like HK forgot to wipe the floor and vacuum prior to their exit. There was no coffee maker in the room, but not a big deal at all, and the fridge was never plugged in so we couldn't store our leftovers, so we had to leave it in the car overnight, luckily it got down to 35 at night with respect to that. It was a smoking room which we asked for, but there were lots and lots of old cigarette ashes and tobacco shreds all on top of the box spring cover so that when you pulled the sheets out from its fold all that stuff came up and onto the sheets we had to sleep on, we were not very pleased. Smokers don't even like to see that. The bed was comfortable to sleep on and we got really good sleep. It was quiet enough. It wasn't that bad overall. I guess it could've been worse.
