Econo Lodge North Academy

Terrible service, literally busted the door in after the first night all while we had a 2 day reservation.

Quick and easy check in. Area looked a little run down and the entrance to the hotel look like broken windows had been taped up and they are also doing some construction/renovation I think (at least lots of supplies on side and inside entrance of building point to that). Room is basic and a little dated but it was quiet and safe and a good deal for the price, plus included a little free breakfast (not expansive by any means but still something - there was coffee and juices and mini muffins and a waffle maker and a little fresh fruit. Oh and cereal. Maybe a couple other things but not like eggs and meats).

I thought that it was pretty good for the price that we paid, until we walked into the hotel. Broken windows at both front doors, sketchy people, scary elevator, dirty hotel room and very dirty Office chair inside.

Had only 2 pillows on a king bed, room was never serviced for 3 nights we were there. Shower was less than desirable

I could only eat the apples at breakfast and no decaf coffee. My room smelled of smoke bad.

Clean and spacious rooms, no excessive noise, friendly staff. Would stay again when needed

Employees nice. Windows didn't lock. Bathtub drain would not drain and could not shower. Breakfast hours not extended for the weekend.

The area was good, but noisy, a loud noise woke me up at 5:00am, and I couldn’t go back to sleep. Pet friendly, that is nice. Close to food places, but you would need to drive. They seem to be making some improvements.

My family and I were not bothered or harassed in any way but there were homeless sitting on the curb outside and we had a few people come in, obviously high, talking about getting high or getting money, which made us feel like we had to be very careful with our belongings and our own safety. The parking lot area was dirty and I'm assuming the trash came from those who were seeking to get drunk and high. The hotel had a continental breakfast but the selection was minimal. Two types of cereal, apples (small), or waffles. I don't expect a lot of a place that is beyond reasonable monetarily, but I do expect a little better than what we experienced on our stay. I will probably try another option next time.
