It was a place to stay. No attention to detail. I cleaned unidentified substance off the bathroom wall. No kleenex. Minimal lighting. No elevator to second floor rooms. Also, on the 3rd party booking site it said breakfast included but the hotel said they had not supplied breakfast for the last 4 years. Thankful for McDonald's across the street. This hotel will not be given much consideration next time through.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! From the moment I walked in, the customer service was exceptional—everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and very affordable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay. You won’t be disappointed!

For the price you're paying it's an excellent choice. Clean room. Hallways a bit dated. But who cares. NOTE: this hotel shares a parking lot with a different hotel that's a lower quality. So make sure you check into the right hotel when you get there.

Bathroom door would not close. Bathroom doorknob falling out. No towels in room. Leftover eyelash stuck to bedside table. Seemed like no effort put forward to try and make it a decent stay even given the low price.

Good place just to crash for a couple nights. But you definitely get what you pay for! I will say that the staff was nice and welcoming but the place itself inside and outside was sketchy and dirty. Hair on the beds, stains on the blankets, holes in the walls (covered by a wash rag) stains on the walls, expired leftover food in the mini fridge, lots of stomping on the above floor, and the smell of mold. The younger locals we met in Columbus questioned why we were staying there and that the neighborhood/other hotels/motels surrounding the Econo Lodge are bad news, full of drugs, crime, and CPS involvement.
