If you do pay at property, better be there be 3pm check in; otherwise they cancel your reservation, no call no nothing. My husband got there at 330, they gave oir reservation away and hotel was then booked full. We were stuck with no where to go. Then travelocity advise....next time book directly with the hotel to avoid the hotel canceling your reservation. Overall...HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

This hotel apparently caters to by-the-hour customers and upon check in discovered that the room had broken bureau drawers, chipped tub and sink, no hangers and no towels. Apparently they do not stock enough towels for their paying guests. The whole place reeked of excrement, and the air conditioner didn’t seem to generate cold air (but I suspect it does keep legionella alive)

This property should be removed from Expedia. It is very dingy, moldy, no towels in rooms, and stained linen. One of the sheets had a burned cigarette hole in it. We felt so unsafe that we took a quick shower (we used our beach towels to dry) and immediately checked out paying full night for a two hour stay. We learned from family members later that the motel is used to house homeless people and migrants. Do not under any circumstances bring your family here. We saw a drug deal right next to our room and a very strong smell of marijuana as we passed by a room with a partially opened door. The picture shown on their website as well as photos on Expedia are false. I am sorry to say this place is truly a dump. We ended up paying an exorbitant price at the Hampton Inn due to last minute registration.

This was the filthiest and most run down place I have ever made a reservation at. It was incredibly unsafe and had soft sink holes on the balcony and many of the steps in the stairwell were broken. It lacked basic necessities like towels and soap. I requested a refund after checking in to my room because the shades on the window were broken so I couldn’t close the shades so anyone walking by could see in. This place needs to be shut down by the board of health.

The room is in poor condition, with a hole in the bathroom door, graffiti carved into both doors, the toilet is leaking and clogged, the shower flooded the bathroom (and soaked my clothes 🙃😰), the peep hole has tissue stuffed into it, they told me there are no clean towels (which I’ve asked for multiple times over three days), the drawers in the side tables are busted in and fake so there’s no place to put anything, the mini fridge is also leaking, all the surfaces are sticky, the ice machine is overflowing, and the lock on the door doesn’t work. Also the floor in the closet is raised so I keep tripping/ stubbing my toe omw out of the bathroom (lol ow !). Also, just a heads up if you stay for multiple days, no housekeeping will be done (and you probably won’t get clean towels either.) do not recommend. Although they do not require a deposit, they take cash (atm in lobby!), you can pay online, they have both smoking & nonsmoking rooms, they’ll let you check in a little early, they have free parking, and they’re located within walking distance from both a gas station & a Dunkin.

Waste of a night

Check in was a slow nightmare. Fine. But No towels or wash clothes available. Had to order my own to the room. Ice machine was down which I also had to order. Was disturbed throughout the night and early morning by random people knocking and trying to get in my room. Left before breakfast. Waste of a night.

Dirty and filthy

I was extremely disappointed with my recent stay at the Econo Lodge in West Haven. The room was not properly cleaned — the toilet was visibly dirty and emitted a strong, unpleasant odor throughout the bathroom. This lack of basic hygiene is unacceptable for any hotel. I expected a clean and comfortable environment, but instead, I felt uneasy staying in the room. There were no towels in the room. I would not recommend this location until they seriously improve their cleanliness standards.

This place stinks of mold. Carpets are dirty and smelly. The hotel have a no refund policy because they know the place is trash and upon your arrival you might request a refund. This whole place is trash. I dont know why people really stay here. Definitely not worth it for any price. This place need absolute cleansing. I was driving when i made this booking and i specifically wanted to stay sat to Sunday but when i did it for some reason my dates was wrong and it was made for Sunday. So I tried to contact bookings and the facility but i came to find out there's no refund policy for this hotel. So i decided to go to the hotel to find out if i could change the Sunday to Saturday. The front desk guy was very rude and said to me you made a mistake and i cant do anything for you. I cant give you a room, all my rooms are booked..so you can come back sunday for tour reservation or cancel. And i knew if i canceled I would lose my money and he does too. I saw him showing empty rooms to a guest who had just walked in to look for a room and he was given the choice to choose but he wouldn't give me a room for the night because I made a mistake with my date by not reviewing my booking. Poor customer service and rude individuals representing the face of a hospitality business.

Pretty much a complete disappointment. the only thing good was the room rate I'm quite frankly that was an overcharge for what I received. There were no towels in the room, there was no TV remote, and because there was no phone the only way to contact the front desk was to go down which meant walking outside in 100° Heat. There was nobody at the front desk when I got there to check in and no way to reach them. all I could do was wait
