Staff nowhere to be found. Number on google doesnt work, and the cell number i had to ring over 5 times to get an answer. Got into room, smelled musty, old food and foul- like it had been used for some sort of emergency housing. Place was tidy however due to stains all over carper throughout and smell i could not stay here. I booked somewhere else down the road.

A bed for the night

The EconoLodge was perfect for what we needed - a bed to sleep in & somewhere to shower. Not overly flashy & is quite out dated but has everything you need. Positives: Room was clean. Beds were comfy, pillows were good. Reasonably cheap. Great location (Wolfbrook Arena & Apollo Stadium nearby) Not so positives: Shower pressure was barely existent. Carpet could’ve done with a vacuum (but to be honest, should just be replaced). Bit of a musty smell to the room but we weren’t too hung up on it. Potentially emergency housing (???). Thanks for a comfy & cheap stay

There were holes in everything, the curtain was ripped and not hung up. This would have been fine if it were not for the sheets which were the most plastic pure synthetic awful things I have ever had the displeasure of touching. It wasnt even that cheap either for the price the least they could do is fix the holes and give you cotton sheets

The whole unit needs a good clean - mould in the shower - the shower curtain hadn't been washed for ages - it was mouldy and had soap residue. There were no tissues ont eh box in the bthreoom. Light shades in all reas were filthy. Curtains were hanging off the rail in the bedroom - the kitchen blind was filthy - there were splatters up the kitchen window - the mugs had dirty rings on the inside of them. The unit smelled of old cooking smells. The carpet was worn and had holes in it. The Skirting boards were grimmy and dusty - there was dust under the bed in the lounge and a previous guest's sports bandage under the bed. The rubbish bins were smelly.We were in unit 10. There was mould on the window sills in the rooms and on the windows.

1 flannel 1 towel each. No hand towels. 1 t towel and a dishcloth wasn't much bigger than my hand. Towels weren't changed. Yard was disgraceful. Inadequate heating for winter. Hairdryer didn't go. The list goes on. Will never go back there or recommend it to anyone. I will say the sheets were clean and the little old lady at counter was lovely. So disappointed was looking forward to a lovely weekend. Very rarely get away.
