Econo Lodge

"Econo Lodge Lafayette: A disappointing stay. As a traveler seeking comfort and cleanliness, my recent experience at the Econo Lodge in Lafayette left much to be desired. While the hotel boasts an attractive exterior and convenient location, the reality within its walls falls short of expectations. Upon entering the room, I was immediately struck by the subpar conditions. The pillows, advertised for a restful night's sleep, were disappointingly lumpy, providing little support or comfort. Furthermore, the bathtub exhibited unsightly scum and mold, indicating a lack of thorough cleaning and maintenance. Although the beds themselves were firm, any semblance of comfort was overshadowed by the presence of strange debris and lint scattered across the surfaces. It was evident that cleanliness standards were not upheld, as dust permeated the room and the furniture appeared beyond redemption, marred by years of neglect and grime. While the television functioned adequately, other aspects of the room were far from satisfactory. Cracked light switches and strange stains adorned the walls and lampshades, contributing to an overall sense of disrepair and neglect. It became apparent that the housekeeping staff merely skimmed the surface, focusing solely on the beds while neglecting to address the myriad other cleanliness issues present. Additionally, the lack of attention to detail extended beyond the individual rooms, with poor amenities and widespread maintenance issues plaguing the entire hotel. Broken fixtures and makeshift repairs were commonplace, reflecting a lack of investment in ensuring guest satisfaction and comfort. In conclusion, my stay at the Econo Lodge in Lafayette was marred by a myriad of cleanliness and maintenance issues, ultimately detracting from what could have been a pleasant experience. For travelers seeking a comfortable and hygienic accommodation, I would advise looking elsewhere for lodging options."

"If you enjoy pot smoke, cockaroaches, weird dead plants in buckets lined against the back of the building, overflowing garbage, black mold and scum in your tub, food/bodily function spatter on your lamps, stained sheets and bed linens, windows covered in sheets, no breakfast, wet carpets in your room, urine soaked AC/heating elements with a smell to prove, and furniture from the 1980s with smudges and smears of god knows what.... Stay here. It will meet all of your expectations plus some."

"Well, I just simply needed to stay somewhere. It is cold out there, and I am a victim of being the disabled displacement since, January 19, 2023 from my home that I lived in burned down. A neighbor took me in because I use and am on oxygen. Now, I have no home, the neighbor wasn't forthcoming with me and lost their house and that placed me in this very bad situation. I don't have my house condenser unit anymore that provides my oxygen. It went back to the LinCare Breathing Supplies place and six of my portable tanks that I use for shopping with maybe two hours of usage time. So, now I have to count my blessings and try to figure this out. The Econo Lodge was surely warm and refreshing from getting out of the cold. I only live on SSD, and could not afford it but done it anyway. My room there was big, and roomy and comfortable, but by 10 AM, I wasn't looking forward to leaving there back to this cold weather. The Econo Lodge was quite, located around a variety of restaurants, fast foods, shopping. The Econo Lodge was there to save me from any further sickness just for the night. My money is very limited, trying to find and locate some affordable apartment or a boarding room. I have absolutely nothing left except for, six tanks of oxygen lug around which are heavy. Not sure what the lesson is here, but I don't like it. The help staff at Econo Lodge were friendly, kind, and helpful. Econo Lodge is at competitive pricing, so, that is something that isn't on my agenda or in my budget to stay additional nights. No family around, except for my son that lives right down the road from where I was staying at. Then again, family was called and was notified but they just don't want to help, so I am mess right now. Doubt Google lets this review post. Off task, off the mark of what the review should be, so, sorry Google and Econo Lodge for being off task but I did review your place, just not in the normal way. Last night stayed in a abandoned building that kept the wind off me. Thanks, Econo Lodge. The lodge has washers and dryer's for convenience to the traveler's. I didn't see any kind of vending machine's there. I am sorry that I didn't take pictures at this time because my mind is in hundred different directions at once, plus I was late getting started, so, I was focused trying to get checked out."

"I stay in a lot of hotels. This place I was afraid to lay down on the bed. As I checked in the customer in front of me was asking for a refund because she was displeased but was refused. 1. Bed box springs had nasty rusty stains. I hope it was rust. 2. The smell was not a clean enviroment. 3. The pillows were well used and just not acceptable! 4. The toilet seat kept falling off. 5. The grunge and grime from floor to cieling. Many months of dust and filth along the baseboards and corners of the tiled floor. 6. There was urine in the toilet when we arrived. 7. The whole place is in disrepair from the lobby to the rooms. With out if order signs and common areas closed off. I asked my wife did she not even read the reviews!? 8. Staff what staff? Didn't see other than checking in and it was not customer service orientated. 9. No breakfast at the $100+ price My comparison I stayed in a Best Western in Ft. Wayne 2 nights later for the same price. Very clean! Excellent customer service and included a very nice breakfast. After that stayed at another chain hotel in Columbus,OH for the same price. I would give it a 5 star for what I paid for. I paid for my daughters room as well and her room looked a little cleaner but I paid over a hundred dollars per room. Purdue was having the graduations so we were way overcharged considering what this place normally gets. Avoid this hotel unless you're use to 3rd world squalor and like paying 1st world prices!"

"Under new manager, Sam, he is very attentive, personable and if ever i did have an issue he resolved it. Also the night attendant, also named Sam, is the nicest person, very observant and protective of the guests! Housekeeping also very nice and if i need anything they provided. The only negative is they should provide a military discount, for veterans and current servicemen."
