Do not stay here.The online photos are misleading the photos of the main lobby are not even of this hotel! rooms were dirty, had roaches, had hair on the "clean" hand towel, also had stains on the comforter. It was so bad we checked out 15 minutes after checking in... and don't think of getting a refund.. The manager doesn't... More

Stayed two nights at the Econo Lodge in March 2012. at first the outside and surrounding area made me think I messed up booking a room here. But once inside it was very clean, the room was big, beds were comfortable, carpet appeared nearly new. Had a fairly good free breakfast and was a good location to get to Mizzou.... More

If you're looking for cheap, this will fit the bill. However, my room's heat was turned off when I arrived at around 10pm, and I didn't start to feel reasonably warm until close to 2am. The room was reasonably clean, though a little of the "used to be a smoking room a decade ago" smell to it. Breakfast was very... More

Unless I am on a vacation and spend lots of time at the hotel, I really don't need anything fancy - just clean! Stayed two nights to visit daughter in college. Small, older hotel. Yes it could use some updating but the king bed was really comfortable (nice pillowtop mattress) and clean. Counter and mirror outside of bathroom which I... More

Since it was late, and we had run out of options, we ended up here. The room was clean, and the beds were adequate. It was quiet. This econo lodge has beds and a table, dresser and a chair that look like they date to the early 1960's. Carpeting is thin print wall to wall indoor outdoor carpeting in a... More

Check in took about 2 minutes. They wanted a photocopy of my drivers license for "security" reasons, found that odd. Some drama between guests was going on in breakfast area. The 1st floor hallway is nasty. Stains on the carpet, stark white walls and ceiling, wires mounted on the surface of the walls. The room was a surprise... large with... More

Having recently read the reviews on this hotel, I question whether I am in the same place. Apparently, new ownership has taken over and in the process of making improvements. Agreed, the hotel is obviously old and dated and the carpets are well worn, but the mattresses have been replaced recently and they are quite thick and comfortable. We had... More

Being that Econo Lodge is a Choice Hotel property, we thought we were safe in choosing this location for our stay. Unfortunately we had prepaid before arrival in order to get a discounted rate. When we arrived we noticed the hotel smelled musty. Going up the stairs to our room, we noticed a strong incense smell. The entire second floor... More

The bedding, hottub, everything in general was nasty. 2 house-keepers, working together, cleaned every room on Saturday morning in 3 hours? After a booked night? Also, they don't speak English, or understand it, when you have a complaint. Nothing gets resolved. Sustained an injury there from a non-grip bottom tub. Nothing has been done. The people in the room next... More

Where to start? Upon check-in the young lady at the desk acted put out to have to wait on me. The whole motel smelled like cat urine, especially at the doorways. There was a dirty towel thrown down in the floor in the hallway that was never removed. I'm not sure if someone just threw it down or if it... More
