Econo Lodge Valdosta Mall Area

The best thing I can say about this hotel is that it's in a good location. As soon as I stepped in I knew this would be horrible. When getting off the elevator I was greeted to the most horrible smell (like wet moldy clothes) and the carpet was filthy. The carpet inside of the room wasn't any better. I walked around in my shoes the whole time. The bathroom floor was horrible with stains on the wall and please don't get me started about the shower curtain. Thank goodness I only stayed one night because I got no sleep. This hotel needs a major renovation. The staff was nice but I will NEVER stay here again. I would rather sleep in my car (which I did think about doing).

Nice clean and very spacious. Not to big of a complimentary breakfast but did have coffee and cereal. Fresh milk and creamer. If you're traveling the same morning eating heavy usually make people sleepy and being on a interstate nobody needs to be sleepy.

The entire place reeked of cigarette smoke, the bathroom was nasty. The toilet smelled like feces and the bathtub floor was stained with a gray mystery substance. The full length mirror also had vulgar words written on it, and the beds had questionable stains on them. We slept with our shoes on because the place was so dirty. And I cannot express enough the smell. Cigarette smoke everywhere, and during the night, every couple of hours, more wafts of smoke would seep into our room. -10/10 Would not recommend.

Positive: Location close where I needed Negative: Staff not professional,gave me dirty pillow with stains n odor without pillow case and said just put towel on it . Said towel clean . Breakfast was stale and out of coffee.. Staff charged me when I prepaid and I had dispute second charge. Bed had bed bugs

This hotel maintain an ILLEGAL policy regarding service animals which violates ADA. They say they require a certificate in order to prove it's a service animal, there is no such thing and they are not allowed to ask for one, only whether or not it's a service animal and what service it performs. Any certificate someone shows is something they were scammed into paying for and isn't legitimate, likely is an emotional support animal cert not a service animal which is not even close to being the same thing! They need to educate themselves, do better, and stop breaking the law before someone sues them. Don't even get me started on the state of this place. I realize it's a low cost hotel but it wouldn't kill then to clean.
