Econo Lodge Fort Lee

this place should not even be open.for business..wish i could have uploaded more pics..had to get relatives to take my kids..complained n they want to give me 1 ftee night stay..really?? Still waiting for a refund This place needs to be shut down

i wish i could give 0 stars. This place is the ABSOLUTE WORST. i have been to bad hotels before but this takes the cake. The door to the room does not seal i had cold air bowing on me ALL night. Breakfast is just gross. The people at the desk dont speak english and are SUPER rude. The room smelled like marijuana. I HIGHLY recommend NEVER booking here.

Second time staying there. They're in the midst of renovations but all rooms are available. Unfortunately, this means that the back of the motel is not very clean (see pictures, lots of debris from the renovation work), and some rooms are not fully furnished. For instance, in our room, there were no bedside stands and no fridge. Furthermore, we arrive there at 4 pm, with check-in time at 3 pm. Our room hadn't been cleaned so we had to wait outside for 20 more minutes. It was cleaned but kinda spotty, especially the bathroom - there's a medicine cabinet above the sink which hadn't been cleaned, found a random hair in there. The bed sheets and towels were clean. The staff seemed for the most past to be young people in their early twenties, and a bit overwhelmed by the responsibility of running a motel. They were nice and very helpful. Location is excellent as you are quite close to the shuttle and bus service to the George Washington Bus Stop in NYC. The shuttles come almost every 5 minutes (or less) and it's 3$ per person. The last shuttles from GW Bus stop in NYC leave around 11:30 PM. After that, you can take the bus, 1.86$/trip, either 176, 181, 186. But check the times as well, as their not very often and the last one leaves at 1:00 AM. After that, you're on your own. Not sure if taxis make it across the bridge as there's a toll. The area may seem a bit sketchy at first, but it's quite safe. We didn't see any sketchy individuals, even though there's an abandoned building right beside the hotel.
