Econo Lodge

The receptionist over the phone was helpful and provided good service. However, the information given during check-in was different — I was told the service dog would be free of charge, but at check-in, I was charged around $27. The room was spacious and included a refrigerator, microwave, and a regular TV. Free parking and bathroom amenities were available, and there was coffee provided. However, the room smelled like smoke, and the floor was not clean. Also, the app listed that breakfast was included, but no breakfast was served.

Arrived seeing there was vacancy. Just needed basic room with clean linens to get thru a nite of travel. The bed slept sorta allright except for noisy hollering , hysterical laughing of loud nearby guests keeping us awoke from 1230 am til after 2 am!! Good grief...... I didn't feel comfortable there with shady/sketchyiness of area, but other places were full up or just unreasonable too high. NOT recommend no one stay here unless LAST resort. Maybe it is recently remo dled , but there certainly HAS NOT been a THOUROUGH CLEANING IN AGES!!!! 1. The sheets are T H I N el cheapo. 2. Bed cover is dark drab and many cigarette burns. Threw it off the bed as didn't want to use it or the blanket. 3. Drapes are dark n drab making the room feel CREEPY. 4.Refridge not really ever got COLD for a few sodas. 5. Bath towels looked scratchy ruff so decided to wait til we got home for a decent shower. 6. DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY ＞＞ door facings and trim filthy w/ stains and yick yuck whatever that 409 could take off if it was used with hot water adn a cleaning rag, dirt/dust and food stains along wall ledge, behind and along bed/nitestands, and also abundant amount of DUSTBALLS behind the whole tv stand on teh floor. SO no sweeping or vacuum as touched these areas in many moons!! Seriously glad I had Lysol wipes with me to wipe down every damn thing from door knobs, remote, faucets for sink and fridge myself. Yes, a POOR excuse for any motel to be in this condition . Have seen Econo Lodges in other travel destinations looking IMMACULATE and EXTRA CLEAN, but this one in Santee, SC is NOT.
