We walked into our room and there were roaches crawling all over. We left within ten minutes and the man on duty couldn't help us, said we needed to call and talk to the manager about a refund who we could not get ahold of. Do not stay here!
The hotel got the job done because I needed somewhere to sleep for the Ohio State game. But I would not choose this particular one again. Its dated, and the room I had, the television did not work. The walls were paper thin and you could here the locals all night. Plus a $100 deposit for this location is absurd. Save yourself some time and spend a few extra coins for another hotel.
Hotel had full power afgee but front desk claimed he couldnt check anyone in. Property Beyond ridiculous and unacceptable in 2025 that a hotel has an outdated system with no power backup. It took nearly 2 hours to find a new hotel, because Expedia customer service was so slow. The only saving grace was a feeling of this property being in a very unsafe secluded area off the highway. Terrible all around experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was rude when requesting extra towels and toilet paper.
The staff left used lotion on the counter. Instead of discarding what was already used, they just left the used one there.
There was hair in the shower all over the soaps.
The room was decent for the price, but there were cigarette burns among other things on the bedding. The deposit is $100 and not $50 as stated on the website and after several days has not been returned to me so I'd pay that in cash

Older property that has had some updating.
The door on my unit had additional security protection added that made the door stick and a little difficult to open.
The room was filthy and roaches were everywhere. The ceiling above the bed, the phone, the tub, the toilet, the floor, the bed. When Spike to front desk they were rude and disrespectful. Do not stay here
Terrible area, dirty rooms. I kept on itching all night and I felt as though bugs were crawling on my skin. I would’ve not minded the poor customer service if they kept a clean facility.
I have no problem staying in older, economical motels. Just having your car outside your door is nice. And honestly, all you need is a shower and a nice bed, a TV. This place had none. And it was much more than just dirty. It was neglected. I moved the desk away from the wall, where I found a circa 1990 cable, it's connection had been twisted off years ago. The dust bunnies were stuck in a build-up of spilled goo. There were several flies in the room, but the spiders took care of that problem. It didn’t seem unsafe, the property was fenced, I'm assuming it kept the crime away from the decent neighborhood nearby. The 3 a.m. screaming match in the room next door spilled out into the parking lot, and I've actually learned some trending cuss words.
If you are reading this, thinking you'd like to go to the casino, it's the closest motel and really, you only need a shower and a bed, don't do it.
If negative stars were an option I’d go there. Even though my reservation was paid and confirmed for, the front desk associate was unable to find my reservation and couldn’t was hard to understand due to his thick accent. The rules page on the desk had half the words spelt incorrectly and the space seemed unorganized. The desk associate also didn’t offer and assistance into finding us another place to stay. Even if they were full, I would’ve appreciated him to tell me and not have to ask. And also giving recommendations for places close by. Never booking an Econo Lodge again!
This was a strategic location during a bike ride. It was filthy. Even the tap water to fill my water bottle was brown. I reserved rooms with 2 beds and was told day of arrival they only had single bed rooms. Didn't care about our needs. Spend a few more dollars and be happy someplace else.
