Bad alwful experience
Horrible. Dirty sheets and room. Breakfast no coffee, juice (machine broke) warm milk waffles and cereal,and toast only. No butter or anything for toast. When coffee ran out someone told attendant and he continued to play on computer. Guests didn’t even have coffee available. I understand eco lodge is a sister hotel for best western. I always thought they were a good standard hotel. Never will use either of them again. Recommend do not waist your money

Disgusting place.
This place was disgusting. We asked for non-smoking and was given a smokers room, the bed linens had cigarette burns and holes. The other bed had blood stains. The front desk clerk did not care about any of this.

ATTENTIONS: PLEASE DO NOT STAY ! The beds are very old with holes, there is no blanket, there is no trash can, the water does not drain, the hairdryer does not work, they give you a towel if you ask, it smellsvery bad, (although they took a non-smoking room), and for all this they also take a deposit of 50 dollars. I asked to change the room, I had to wait a long time, when I opened another room and there was no bed sheets at all, the dirty dishes was on the table, it was not cleaned at all.... I don’t understand how they can offer that's rooms to people. 🤔 Also in the property and around a lot of homes Lee people. Stuff unfreandly. I asked about refund but say no.....

Just gross
When we arrived there were 3 homeless men fighting in the parking lot. I felt very unsafe there. The room was beyond disgusting! Floors haven’t been swept in a long time and the dirty towels from the previous guest were still in the room. Super disappointed. I hate to leave bad reviews but I would hate someone to have the same experience I did.

Rooms werent ready at check in, wasted over 2 hours waiting to get one room that smelled so strongly of dog urine the managers answer was to open the door and air the room out... for medical reasons i explained this was unacceptable. Manager eventually agreed to a refund. Not a great experience to deal with. 3 hours later we were able to eventually get a room at a different hotel but had to cancel our evening plans.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Many surfaces in the room were very sticky. Half of the security arm on the door was broken. A hotel employee with some other people started to come into my room around 9 pm. He apologized and said he had understood this room was vacant. They left and I never had any more issues with this. The office and breakfast area were vary small and not clean. Because of the broken security arm, which I had not noticed earlier, I moved furniture in front of the door overnight. There were homeless people all over the neighborhood encroaching on the hotel. IT WAS A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE.
