It was not clean. The towels and linens were deplorable. We stayed two hours before we decided to leave. We chose it because our daughter was transferred to a hospital in San Antonio and we were desperate to find a place. We didn't realize spring break was happening and our chances of finding something were severely hampered. Even under this situation we couldn't stay there and weren't even allowed to cancel. So we lost our money and still had to find somewhere to stay.

NOTHING!!!!! It was the most disappointing and disgusting place I have EVER had to stay in. The place was filthy. There was glass on the bed, the bed sheets were filthy and dusty. The sofas looked like they dragged them in from the dump. The smell was horrible and burned my throat. There was cockroach droppings on the walls. The booking.com website stated it had free breakfast, which it didn’t. Was charged $144 and $50 deposit, which was no where mentioned either of a deposit on booking.com. I’m as disappointed with booking.com for false advertising this location. Worst experience ever. Had no choice but to stay there my mother in law was in the hospital with heart problems and we came from out of town everything else was booked because of spring break and this sleepy motel overcharged because of spring break. Super disappointed

The room was dirty , sheets looked like they had blood stains , when i was looking for a hotel in Booking.com , it stated that they had free breakfast on their web, but found out the first morning that they did not , that was the main reason that I chose Econo lodge. I tried reaching to Booking .com about the problem and have not heard from them, this is false advertisement. everything

When we arrived at the hostel, I was shocked to be told there was no reservation under my name. I showed them the confirmation I’d received through Expedia, but they said there was nothing they could do and advised me to contact Expedia directly. I spent over an hour on the phone, much of it on hold, desperately trying to sort things out while my sister waited, needing rest and her medication. Eventually, a supervisor offered a refund, but that was hardly a solution – I needed a room for my sister, not just my money back. They briefly attempted to help find another place but ultimately left me alone to figure it out. This experience has shaken my trust in Expedia. I wasn’t just another customer on another trip – I was a sister trying to bring a little joy to someone who’s been through so much. This trip was supposed to be a bright memory, but instead, it became a stressful, heartbreaking experience. I’m now seriously reconsidering my membership with Expedia. I want to share this experience to make others aware and to ask Expedia to consider the real people, the real lives, behind every reservation.

Problems from the showers not working, busted door handles, no security locks, stained walls, doors wouldn’t close, lobby closed, no coffee in room, had move to another room, found roaches in that one! Checked out and went to another hotel. Seems that owners are not willing to spend money on repairs or improvements, never staying there again!!!!!
- 3/5
As I said before the place has had improvements. It’s pretty decent the only complaint I have is one of the staff is a bit rude maybe she’s having a bad day. But there is a way to speak to people without being rude.
- 5/5
Pretty decent place to stay they made improvements. Have stayed here before and the environment was more quiet this time around. Pretty quiet for the area

I did not stay in the property, my family came in at 10 pm and when we arrived the first room was not the greatest but for just a room to sleep it would do. However, we left to go see my brother and we returned and the room was flooded with water and roaches and other insects. The staff tried to give us another room but it was worse than the first. It stunk, had tons of insects crawling on the bed and walls. The bedding was all stained and the sofa had a smelled of dog . I was ashamed for selecting that location and opted to keep my family home.
- 3/5
There was mold in the bathroom. Did tell the lady at front desk and all she did was say ok. Never offered to move us to another room. The bedspread had stains and small holes in it. This place is going down.

There were bugs actually in the sheets. Not bedbugs, big weevle looking things. They were probably feeding on the old food we found under the bedsheet; rice and some other dried old food. The toilet area reeked of urine and the sink area smelled disgustingly like body odor. The mini fridge was leaking water and made a huge puddle on the floor. We packed up our things in the middle of the night and went home and took a shower. This place was absolutely disgusting.

The room was terrible! Dirty, bugs an gnats all over, smelt of dampness and the bed was so old it sunk in on its own. Blood on the walls and who knows what else, fleas at the door way and the shower wall was cracked or broken an had gnats flying around it. Blew my mind and I wish I would have known and I would have had me an my family sleep in our car.

This is the poorest facility we've encountered with Choice Privilege Hotels. The toilet seat was broken. In the coffee maker was the previous occupants coffee grounds and there was no breakfast. There were cigarette holes in the chair and the general appearance was gross. If it weren't for the eclipse I don't think anyone would have stayed there.

First, there's no fee breakfast. You're not even allowed in the lobby. Second, many of the fixtures, including the bathtub handle had been taken off of their perspective places. Third, it was FILTHY. Fourth, they gave us 1 bath mat, 1 wash cloth, 1 hands towel, and ZERO bath towels. Our reservation was for a king bed, they put us in a double room. The refrigerator did not work so our leftover from dinner had to be thrown out. And the very thin blankets in the non-smoking room had cigarette burns on them. We will not book her again.

It was onay as far as the rooms go but the owners are very rude and very racial and direspectful. Even though i paid for my room the room qas in my wifes step mothers name so whem they seen my qife who is black they turned from friendly to very passaive aggressive and wheny wife locked herself out they wouldn't let her in the room nor me qe had to have her step mother call but yet theres pimps with there girls walkomg around.... but because of the color of my wife's skin we where treated unfair, dodnt even know racism excisted still.

The stay was good, but I was disappointed by your teams follow through with an issue I had. I contacted one of your agents a day before my stay to potentially cancel the reservation. Your agent said that they would reach back out to me by email soon. You all never did send me an email.
- 5/5
I wasn't able to go, because I needed a smoking room on the first floor or a handicap room and the property had no problem refunding the money even though I was well within the cancellation policy. I appreciate that and the money was returned to my card within 48 hours

Roaches, Roaches, ROACHES! I had to buy ROACH spray, and ROACH hotels. There was no fitted sheet, just a normal sheet on the mattress, that was too small, and the tub didnt drain! I would have went somewhere else, but money was tight, and i knew it would take days, if not weeks to get my money back if i ever did. They never even offered to cover the cost of the items i had to purchase to fight the ROACHES!

If possible i would like to be refunded.
