Econo Lodge

This was a first. I pulled up to the Econo Lodge to find a handwritten sign that their printer was down and to check in at the Super 8 across the parking lot. Turns out, they are both owned by the same people. They had two young 20-somethings that were also to run the Super 8, ALL BY THEMSELVES. They were the only good spot in this whole situation. Fatima and Ahmud(sp?) were staying calm and tried to be helpful, but there were no housekeepers for either hotel, and they had almost 2 dozen dirty rooms and no clean linens/towels. The manager answered their phone calls part of the time. How in the world do you own two hotels and staff them both with two people that were out of their depth with it. 1 of 10 rating, only because Fatima and Ahmud were trying their best and were being very courteous to me, and also to other customers who weren't as kind to the situation as I was.

It’s the cheapest hotel in Jamestown and there’s a reason for it. It’s old and it was mostly clean. However the mattress was so old it was caved in the middle. On both mattress’s. The shower barely had any water pressure. I cancelled my second night and went to a better hotel the next night

Have stayed at this property for several years, this trip unlike others was a complete disaster. No clean linens in 6 nights, room keys needed reprogramming 4 times. Must be new management? However I’ll not ever stay there again!

Under staffed, had to go to different property to check in, due to printer inop. No luggage carts. Other than that, they did the best they could with what they had to work with.

This place is bad. The service started out well then went downhill fast. The faucet in the bathtub was broken and ran all night long. They couldn’t move me to another room because they weren’t cleaned. Then today they changed by debit card 2 times and my credit once. 😡

Super 8 and Econo Lodge Staff worked together..

Property is great. Just wrong date.

Do not believe the good reviews for anything recent on here. I booked this in May and showed up in June for my 2-night stay. There was no one operating the hotel in their lobby. A handwritten sign on the door said to go to the Super 8 across the parking lot. Apparently, one owner owned both. Upon entering the Super 8, I found the only bright spots of this transaction, two young 20-somethings named Fatima and Ahmud (sp?). They were trying their best to manage two hotels completely by themselves. They were in way over their heads, but as I was made to manage a whole store by myself in a past work life, I understood that look. Ahmud said he didn't have a room for me at the Econo Lodge. I said I'd booked and paid over a month ago, but he said they still didn't have a room. Turns out, the housekeeper for the Econo Lodge never came in that day, and they had 22 dirty rooms and no clean linens or towels. The Super 8 had two cleaners that didn't stay for the full day, so eventually both Fatima and Ahmud left me alone in the Super 8 while they went over to the Econo Lodge to try to get a room cleaned for me. That was when I called the Quality Inn next door, which for double the price provided a vaguely better experience, two stars instead of one. And I usually let a lot of stuff go, but having two hotels run by two people that were in beyond where they should have been is ridiculous. Reading on some other sites, recent reviews hold about the same line as mine. I'd recommend a different part of Jamestown, as all three local places were very sub-par unless you like noise, dirt and mismanagement.

This Econo Lodge was very clean and the bed was very comfy. Staff was friendly too. Best of all...it was so quiet. No noise in the halls and no noisy road. Google Maps took us 15 miles north of town to a pond in a field! Apparently this has happened before, as the map ignores the S (south) in the street address. Econo Lodge is south of the interstate!
