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.

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.

Works well for me!

All I need in a hotel/motel stay is quiet, clean, friendly and a comfortable bed. This establishment checked all the boxes and I will happily stay there again. Excellent value!

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.

Sketchy Place

Parking lot was very sketchy. People that seemed to be up to no good in the middle of the night outside. Front desk attendant was nice, bed was ok. The A/C unit looked like it hadn't been cleaned (the vents) in a long, long time.

Close to restaurants and a cool out of town chill place with peace. No smoking rooms and the manager was rude. The first night my tv didn't work and they were rude about it. They made it seem like a big deal to switch me rooms the second night even though they offered.

Handicap....Don't bother

Didn't accommodate for handicap, I wanted coffee when we checked out and was given a hard time when I ask for it. We needed a shower chair for handicap room but was told that they didn't have one or a roll in shower that the listing showed. Very bad attitude when it came to our needs.

Mold infestation

Small run down motel situated between 2 other motels. Sketchy buildings & area. Felt very unsafe. Motel looks nothing like pictures and didn’t have documented offerings. Our room was COVERED in mold. Told front desk, the only other room they had didn’t have A/C or heat. Front desk acted perplexed & said “no one else had ever complained.” Its clearly visible, so are they not cleaning? Do they just not care? Very hazardous! I believe it was room 103. Also ground lvl w/ slide open window. (Wld not recommend for solo or female travelers.) Checked out & got a refund. Front desk person was nice, that’s about all I can say.

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.
