Econo Lodge Lake Charles University Area

Great

Room was dirty and maintenance of the property has been severely neglected

The hotel was ok... wasn’t fancy you will get what you pay for. Clean rooms.location wasn’t bad but you know it was an econo.survive was good not much for the breakfast.

People were great, very attentive. Property is older construction and has not aged gracefully. But you get what you pay. Did not stay the last evening.

They should have better toiletries and better shower heads

Only thing is they tv went out when it was raining besides that I enjoyed my stay.

When trying to rent a room at the property the cost of the room was more than it was online. The front desk lady said in order to get a lower rate I had reserved the room online, which I did standing in the lobby. We get to our room and unpack our vehicle. When walking into the bathroom there was black mold everywhere, even hanging from the ceiling. We requested a different room. They gave us the one right next to the one with black mold. During the stay our room key deactivated twice. We requested extra pillows from the front office and were told that wasn’t possible. Other than the old hotel smell the room seemed to be clean, so we decided to stay. However, when we woke up the next morning there were roaches in the bathroom.

Room was nice for the price. Floors were slippery. Other than that, was a good place to crash. Nice pool.

Spent one night here on June on a return roadtrip from Florida. Its convenient to the highway but pretty beat up. For $150 I expect clean and safe. We arrived around 9 pm, there were lots of road warriors parked in the lot (fleet of Lowes Box trucks, other cross country types). There were several tenants who had set up grills and coolers and were partying outside their room. Others had their doors open and had dragged furniture out to drink beer and chatter. The check in was easy and the night manager warned me the free breakfast "was cereal". There was a treadmill partially put together next to the single breakfast room table. The room was simple kinda clean, the toilet rocked gently was you sat on it. The TV was okay with some channels, the AC worked. The door didn't close too well and barely locked. The smoke alarmed the battery removed. The "Non-Smoking room" I reserved seemed to be more of a suggestion than a rule. There was some musty and smokey smell. Surprisingly, the beds were very comfortable and sheets and pillows high quality; the only saving grace of this room. The beds were also on these strange steel structures that sounded like thunder and lighting if you kicked them when climbing on the bed. This would have been a good deal at $85, but for $150, I'd recommend going to the Holiday Inn Express across the street.
