Econo Lodge Austin South

The room was missing a blow dryer but was told that it was never installed to the walls while other rooms had time. Staff was not able to find an available blow dryer. The floor was not properly cleaned.

Room wasn’t aired out, ac unit super old and loud! Towels old and thin, water felt soapy and strange. Traffic of the highway was super loud as well! Room was extremely hot. No fan.

These guests were in the sheets of my bed and later on top of my pillow. I left in the middle of the night and just stayed in my car bc at least I know there's not any bugs there sheesh. Waste of my money and time.

We stayed here for one night. The next morning I went to get breakfast at 9:20AM. The manager said he closed the breakfast station early because no one was there. I asked him for hot water so we could make formula for our baby. He refused. I told him the hot water dispenser is within view, and breakfast is supposed to end at 9:30AM. He started yelling. I left. We ended up getting hot water from a gas station nearby. This guy has little/no humanity. I contacted Econolodge head office, I even posted on their Facebook page -but to no avail. I checked their Facebook page weeks later and my post was taken down. Avoid this brand entirely!

Everything about this place is filthy. I don't think the floors have ever been cleaned. Every time I left the room, the front desk had to reprogram my key. They replaced the card reader to my room three times in a two night stay. A woman who appeared to be a permanent resident was sitting at the steps outside my room smoking a blunt. She was there all day and night. My room reeked of pot smoke. Reasonably priced.
