Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room smelled of mildew, went snd bought spray, doused room, left for few hours and still could not sleep due to odor. Bathroom had only 1 towel in it and when picked up had a hair ball on it, ask housekeeper for additional towels since 2 people and they were all filthy stained. Would not use shower due to filth buildup along sides, toilet wabbled, exposed fan parts on ceiling. Found a wire on lamp spliced for new plug with exposed wires. Great fire hazard. Would of left and asked for refund upon arrival but Expedia does not refund money Will never use Econlodge again
Wannly toilet mounted with exposed screws
Shower vent
Stains on towels
Sides on bathtub with scum build up

Expedia nor the property would not allow me a refund for cancelling to stay here after viewing the deplorable rooms. So it’s simple I just don’t use Expedia anymore and I def will not return to that location.

Economy for Sure

Adequate for a quick, efficient stay, but fairly drab interior, some items need repair/replacement (lamp shades). Able to park right outside first-floor room, easy to move items in. Soaps were amusingly thin, but adequate. We were missing bath towels. Proprietor could not find our reservation but gave us a $10 'walk-in' discount, which was nice.

I'm not sure how to rate this place. It's a One Star Motel. It deserves that rating. But you get what you pay for. I have stayed in worse motels that even at One Star deserved less. This place was fine for a One Star Motel

Worst place to stay in east Tennessee

My room only had one light, it was in the bathroom. A plug in led light for working on cars. The shower didnt work so i had to hand wash myself. There was pieces of wood in different places looked like for an old renovation job. An it was a wreck. I was very upset about my stay there.

The property seemed rundown, and there was a lot of noise (dogs barking, people yelling). The room was not very clean, and the showerhead was way too low.
