Econo Lodge Gallup

We booked this room based on average reviews (which must be mostly from the past). When we pulled up, the property looked very suspect. Weeds had grown tall, window screens were torn out, boxes and other stuff could be seen stacked in several of the rooms. The desk clerk was the only bright spot. She was polite and personable. I requested their best, clean, non-smoking room. Unfortunately the inside of the motel gave us the same impression as the outside. Our room smelled strongly of smoke and something else even less pleasant. The room light didn't work. We switched on the bathroom light and decided everything about this place looked better in the dark. Our money couldn't be refunded because we had booked with a third party, but we left anyway and found a different motel. Pay attention to the most recent reviews and go somewhere else.

In desperate need of update or bulldozer. Dirty shower with lots of long black hair, towels you can see through, paper thin walls, outside door not secured, very rough condition rooms, blocked bath sink, breakfast had cold coffee and 8 stale donuts. There are better options so avoid this place.
