Econo Lodge Reviews

Beds were uncomfy, the toilet seat lid was not attached, just sitting on the floor next to it. The fire detector was not in the room at all. The lights above the mirror were broken, and so was the hair dryer. Called the front desk 5 times before someone answered.

Slamming of doors, missing shower shelves, burnt out light bulbs, heat lamp in bathroom would not stay on, face cloth and towels were like rough grit sandpaper, potholes in parking lot, continental breakfast is a joke, nighttime clerk stated that she needed a deposit for a online booking and that it would be returned immediately upon check out, then daytime clerk stated that it would be 3-5 days, nighttime clerk said no deposit would be needed if I had just walked in? So penalize me for booking online but to just take a chance and walk in and no deposit is necessary?! per single night is gouging when other "better" places I've stayed are per night single. I feel totally ripped off and I want a refund!!!

If you have tried to get a hotel near Traverse City in any time except the dead of winter you know that the prices for hotels are bananas. I was drawn in by a very reasonable price for a weekend stay but I worried that it would be a stone cold dump. When we arrived we were pretty sure we were getting a dump. The parking lot/exterior/lobby is a bit rough. The room however, was pretty good. Comfortable and spacious. Had all the items that you wanted. We didnt use the pool but the indoor pool area looked nice when we passed it. All we wanted was a comfortable nights sleep and we got it. If youre looking for more amenities then this isnt the spot

Beds were comfortable. Good location. No hot tub, pool opens at 3pm daily. Older hotel with no elevator.

The hot tub was too cold to use. Lighting in the room didn’t always work. Shower curtain was so short that water went all over the floor when showering Breakfast was mostly cold cereal and packaged pastry. Orange juice had a bad taste. Very over priced.

Old run down place that is trying to upgrade. No toilet paper holder, toilet seat would not stay up, no shelves in the shower for soap, phone was dirty and old, smoke detector was old and yellowed, not sure if it worked, mattress was uncomfortable and noisy, dirty continental breakfast bar with coffee maker broken, lack of employees. Not what I expected from a Choice Hotel.

We have no complaints about the staff; they were always friendly and helpful. The building and our room need upgrading. The carpet on the stairs and in the hallways is a very ugly pattern, is dirty and has a smell. The room we were in lacked features normally found in motels. There is no exhaust fan in the bathroom. It has really a garish, unpleasing pattern on the shower walls, and the apparent leaks on the shower floor were poorly patched. The lighting over the mirror was insufficient to do makeup or groom hair. The bed sheets are cheap and thin, and the elastic corners wouldn’t stay tucked in. There were white spots on the bedspread; who knows what that is. The complementary breakfast was lacking. All there was to eat was dry cereal, and pre-packaged sweet rolls, coffee and tea, no waffles, no fruit, no way to make toast. We had to eat breakfast out at a restaurant.

I was worried when we booked it. But no bugs in our room or on our mattress. Sheets were clean. Air conditioner worked great! The sink had a leak but overall looked like they have been working on fixing things. The staff was nice. Even being on the first floor right by the receptionist it wasn’t too loud. The breakfast was okay. There was no staff at check out which was odd to me, but it did say they were short staffed.

Sheets had sand on them! I told front desk in morning. Housekeeping never came. Coffee maker didn’t work. Shower curtain dirty. The late front desk guy was very helpful and apologetic.

There is no one at the counter until a certain time. I guess you can call them though. The floor in our room had no carpet which is great except the maid forgot to vacuum it - dirt or sand on my bare feet. Not a great property, but you get what you pay for.

If you are looking for the type of accommodations that provide a hair dryer in the bathroom, this place is not it. If you only need a place to lay your head, it probably won’t hurt you for a night or two. The sheets and pillows appeared clean. The towels looked 20 years old- thin, worn, and not at white as they once were. The window did not close all the way creating a safety concern. It looks like they replace things only when absolutely necessary. The shower walls looked newer, and there was an updated mirror in the bathroom. However the shower floor was old and did not match. The walls had holes from remodeling, that were never patched or painted. The door jams in the bathroom and bedroom of the “suite” were splintered and glued back together. The night clerk was very friendly. The day clerk spent her time smoking in a lawn chair outside.

The faucet handle in the shower was reversed. the blue setting produced hot water and the red produced cold water. very difficult to get a hot water setting with the narrow range of hot water settings. The toilet seat was not secured on the toilet. It shifted from side to side when you sat on it. I had to finger tighten the nut on the bolt that secured the seat. Construction crew that roomed on the floor above us was very noisy. House keeping did not put fresh towels in the room after we specifically asked for them. Had to make a trip to the front desk for towels. Ran out of toilet paper and had to make a trip to the front desk to get some

One of the worst hotels/motels. I paid around $200 per night. The place looks really bad from outside, when we pulled up, my daughter started to cry. Our room was not cleaned properly. Toilet was dirty, a shelf with safe fell on me and my son got pink eye. Front desk lady was nice, so that was one good thing about this place, but basically it was really bad for that kind of money. I will never stay at this place again and tell everyone to avoid this place.

This Econo Lodge was the absolute worst motel I have ever experienced. The exit door was broken, the window in our room was broken, both with signs saying so. There was no bar or hangers to hang clothes, the bathroom was dirty, the hall light didn't work and the woman at the desk was unfriendly.
