This place was an absolute dump. It was dirty and smelled like pee, cigarettes, weed, and cat litter. The overall vibe was “tropical crack den” and I will never try to save money by booking at an Econo Lodge again. Besides the people paying with change at the front counter and the man rolling a joint in the lobby, the towels weren’t clean and the outlets were covered in some sort of brown spatter. The slimy handprints on the headboard were the icing on a very rancid cake. Avoid.

The room was mostly clean, however the comforters on both beds had cigarette holes in them.. in the non smoking room. We also did have a roach in our room but it was only one. This was a clubbing night so we didn't stay here long. The shower did get very hot and was nice though.
