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.

Not bad, was a bit frustrated with the cash deposit thing cause it was late traveling with a little one but the property manager needs to protect their interests as well so I get it. Everything went smoothly and we were back on the road well rested. I actually slept really well.

The place is very run down and smelled terrible. No breakfast available. Lots of foot traffic and doors closing through the night. Amazingly enough... the room was clean and smelled fresh. The bed was comfortable and there was hot showers 😆

Beware. Cash deposit required.

They demanded a $100 CASH deposit instead of the usual use of a credit card on file. No hair dryer. The fitted sheet wouldn’t stay on the mattress and there was no mattress topper. No working ice machine either.

My tub faucet was seriously leaking and had been doing it for a long time based on all the mildew, but the hotel was booked for race weekend so I threw a towel down and showered on that. This property and the ones next to it are run down and attract a lot of sketchy folks who like to hang out in the parking lot all hours of the day and night. I spent the minimum amount of time here and would not rent this place for anything more than an overnight crash.

Ok... but never again.

Staff was friendly, but they sprang wanting a 100 dollar CASH deposit, which i said no, and they insisted on putting one on a card. Showed them a photo of the door (room 228) hadknocked into the wall tnat had obviously been there a while,judt to make sure they didnt charge me for it. Surface areas and bed clean, but tbe bathtub had a lot of rust stains and ehat looked like black spots thats didnt hand ruboff.. and tbe air vents on the room HVAC was dirty as hell, maybe even pre-mold? Made noise all nigjt as well. And whats with the largest towels they provide being so small?? No elevator, no continental brekafast (only coffee). Will NOT stay here again.

Front desk rep was kind. She stated there was no breakfast option since Covid and explained they had worked on taking that down online as an option. We specifically chose this hotel with breakfast being an option. Too thin of walls with kiddos. Still has old tethered sign up with another hotel name. Not sure if this is an adjoining hotel or what.
