Friendly reminder- you get what you pay for. My original stay was cxl'd because they had flooding so in a pinch I booked econo lodge. I didn't expect much knowing it was practically a tweaker hotel but I was prepared for not the best stay. This review is my warning to women! As a single female traveling alone I make it a priority to be safe. The first thing I did was check the room and put the 'do not disturb' sign on the door. I have no need for cleaning services & it makes me nervous to have unknown people in my room without my consent but they had a sign on the bathroom mirror stating room service was by request only(picture attached for proof). I spent my first night and left in the morning for my day with the 'do not disturb' on the door handle. When I returned to my room later that day my sign was removed and my room was cleaned. Not only was the sign removed but it was not put back in the room for me to put back on the door. Needless to say I was very uncomfortable after that. None of my belongings were taken to my knowledge but I specifically didn't want anyone in my room, hence the sign and I felt a boundary was crossed. Honestly the only reason this isn't a 1 star is because I was very appreciative of the restroom smelling like bleach. I was in a pinch but I will not be staying here again and if you're a female I'd recommend different accommodations. read more

Let's keep in mind, you get what you pay for. At $60ish a night during a holiday weekend, 6 minutes from the marina, it was suitable. Upon walking in the room, it did have a less than favorable smell. We sprayed it with air freshener and it seemed to improve over the few days that we were there. The room was standard with two queen beds, a small bathroom, a much larger sink area, and a mini fridge. The beds were well slept in- creaky when you get up. They weren't the most comfortable, but I've slept on worse. It was mostly quiet for sleeping with the exception of some folks fighting one morning, waking us prematurely. The shower was clean and hot. The air condition worked well. We had an Amazon package delivered to the main office and had no difficulty retrieving it the day after it was delivered. I wouldn't stay here as a single female but as a group, it was suitable for sleeping. If you plan on spending any real time relaxing at the hotel, this one isn't for you. read more

You get what you pay for. Non stop traffic noise as it's right on main street. They said it's been remodeled. The room we had was okay. A hole in the comforter and the tub was reglazed and it was done poorly. I don't recommend this place read more

This place is beyond horrible. Only reason it's getting 1 star is because 1) I have to leave a star and 2) The front desk girl was nice. I booked on the app, no where on the app does it say there is an additional $50 deposit. But I agreed to it, because she said I will get it back after they clean the room and make sure there were no damages. Ok fine. So after a week and many phone calls and leaving a crappy review on the app, I finally get a email from Choice Hotels Management and they refunded my $50 The room needed update big time. It looked like there was a hole in the bathroom door and they just filled it in with drywall putty. There was nail polish or some kind of paint on the door frames. Some kind of black ring around the sink, something all over the mirror. The little fridge was nasty. Just skip this place. read more

Its a decent place if you want to go somewhere to chill for a night or maybe a few days. Bc the employees don't mess with you. They don't really care on how many people stay in the room. Most nights the rate is us between $58 & read more

Ummm.... Yeah so this place is the cheapest hotel anywhere around and tht shows because it's a run down old shoneys inn Thts about 40 years old and it probably needs to be torn down read more

We checked in to learn they were not serving breakfast as the website stated. (I understand COVID has jacked with a lot of businesses but) the pool is also closed (again, probably COVID related) the room was very damp and musky, had not turned on the A/C prior to our arrival. We had to leave for a while to let it cool down. The room was ok, not exactly "clean" as I would have hoped; sheets had visible dirt spots, toilet paper holder falling out of the wall, and no soap, shampoo or conditioner in the room. I would have liked to see a bit more effort put into the room, since the other amenities were unavailable (you would think they would have the time). Ok, but still disappointed. read more

When I got my Room the bath tub was dirty there is men's body wash left in the bathroom so no one had ever cleaned that but I was so tired I went ahead stayed and clean things myself so I could take a shower. The 2nd night I had to sit on the stoop for 10 minutes waiting for them to get me in my Room because the batteries in the door handle were dead and my key what work even after resetting it twice there's people sitting outside their doors like bums. I will admit that the air conditioning worked really well and that the TV worked although their work many channels to search but the fact that I had to sit on a stoop and the fact that the bathroom was not clean and I had to clean it myself only because it was after midnight and I was too tired to go somewhere else I would not recommend this place at all! When I asked to see the manager the next morning, I was told "No, he left" . The day clerk was RUDE and Disrespectful to me as a customer. I would sleep in my car before I slept here every again!!! read more

We reserved a 2 queen room, but we got 2 doubles. Do they not know the difference? The bathroom is so small you have to straddle the toilet to open the door to get in and out. They only give you shampoo and bar of soap, so make sure to bring your own conditioner. The ice machine is hard to get to and kind of a hike. The fridge was turned off so it took forever for it to cool down. The beds were very hard, like laying on concrete! The TV picture was horrible! The parking is very limited so good luck trying to park near your room. The place is very aged. read more

If I could give less than a star this place takes the cake. The "white" towels needed a gallon of bleach to be any color other than disgusting black ash. Shower head and handles halfway out of the wall. Mold everywhere. Sheets gross. As for the room entirely I'd feel safer sleeping in an alley in Chicago or on a booth seat in the back room of a strip club. And for dessert I will smell like cigarettes until the year 3000. For $62 I'd rather sleep in my truck and buy a bottle of NyQuil. Pretty sure if you left them an upper decker they would take it as a compliment. This would be your place to spend $20 an "hour" if you know what I mean. read more

DO NOT STAY HERE!! The owner/manager is a real douche bag. I am disabled. I cannot do stairs. He refused to assist me or make accommodations for this. I requested to have either an in-room refrigerator or even ice available as I have medication that requires refrigeration. The owner started yelling at me because I was being too demanding. I explained that I had requested all of this through my reservation with Expedia. I asked him why he had such a horrible attitude and it just made his yelling and bad attitude worse. The owner stated that I could not have the room that I reserved on-line because the room was upstairs. I had requested a room with a king size bed. I could have a downstairs room with two Queen beds. That was ok with me. I opened the door to the room and it REEKED of cigarette smoke. My reservation was for a non smoking room. I asked to be moved as cigarette smoke makes my asthma worse. I went to a room down the walkway and opened the door to the new room. This may currently be a nonsmoking room but it was not always. The smoke is imbedded in the paint on the walls, in the curtains and in the beds themselves. I then went into the bathroom. I found that it was so small that I was unable to use the toilet because it was too close to the tub that I didn't have enough room to use it with my physical limitations. I went into the office for a second time. I explained that due to my disabilities I was not going to be able to stay at his establishment. That just angered the douche bag even more. He yelled that I could not have my money back because I had wanted too many things. He did not care that I was not able to stay there. He deserved the money because I was "a problem ". I made my reservation through Expedia. Both Econo Lodge and Expedia refused to return my money. It does not matter that the motel could not nor would not offer any accommodations for disabled guests. I believe that the Americans with Disabilities Act would disagree with both Economic Lodge and Expedia. Both companies have refused to abide by federal law. Both companies have refused to return my money for a place that I could not stay. DO NOT STAY HERE!! read more

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE NICE PICS.. you will be surrounded by dangerous people and management is extremely rude and they will steal your deposit by making things up. the room was disgustingly dirty and sticky. I called front desk to ask for a better room and they refused to accomodate me. I used one of the 2 towels provided and cleaned the floor myself so that my family can walk on it comfortably. The towel came out black. Then, there was pubic hairs all over the toilet and in the shower. Clearly, they did not even clean that room and I'm afrad that they did not change the bedding as well. Management allowed guests to party on the balconys all night long dropping beer bottles and being extremely loud not allowing us to sleep. When we left, we left the room in a much cleaner state than when we first arrived. The manager called to tell me that he's keeping my deposit because I am a disgusting piece of shit and next time he see's me he will kill my family. He claimed there was vomit all over the room... Absolutely was not me or my room that he was speaking about. I did nothing to provoke this horrific behavior. I called the police but the police defended his friend at the motel and said there's nothing he can do about it. I will never stay at one of your hotels again. Complete scam and very dangerously dirty in a pandemic this is extremely unacceptable and threatening the life of my family... WHAT?? how is this allowed? I am disgusted. He obviously confused me with someone else but charged me for it or..... he straight out lied just to keep my money. I would encourage you to investigate this location ASAP. You can not run a business like this and provide this kind of customer service. read more

Checking into the hotel was an easy experience. During check in, I asked the clerk if the beds are good. "Oh, yes!", she exclaimed. Well, obviously, a "good bed" is a matter of perception. The clerk might not know a good bed if she were to lie on one. The bed mattress was sinking and made creaking noises. I have fibromyalgia, which makes my entire body sore and painful. so it is very important to me to have a bed that doesn't inflict pain upon my body. I would rate the comfort of the bed with lying outside on the paved parking lot. The room was clean, however, so I have no complaints about that. The motel serves a continental breakfast, but it doesn't start until 7:00 a.m. I have stayed at a LOT of hotels that provide a breakfast, and EVERY one of them start at 6:00. It probably has never occurred to the hotel owner/manager that some people a rise very early in the morning - LONG before 7:00. And, those who drink coffee kind of want their coffee right away when they awaken. This morning, I awoke and got up at 4:00 a.m. I tried to make coffee in the coffee pot in the room; however, I found the coffee maker to be a piece of junk that does not work. At 6:30, I went on to the dining room, thinking that they surely must have some coffee made, but they did not. So this means I have to wait THREE hours this morning to have coffee. I did notice quite a few construction workers staying at this hotel, and they were outside at 6:00 a.m., waiting to go to their jobs. I assume, then, that this hotel does not start serving breakfast until 7:00 because it wants the construction workers to be already gone to work before breakfast is served, because it does not want to feed them. I complained to the office clerk as soon as I got to my room and saw the horrible bed. He could not refund me on the room. Being late in the day as it was, and with me being too tired to go look for another place, I was refunded $20.00 on my room fee.. This is the reason I have given 2 starts, instead of 1. If you go to Gallatin and need a hotel room, I suggest you go find another one besides the Econo Lodge. read more

From the outside this may not look like a place you would want to stay. However, the staff was extremely friendly, the room was recently remodeled, the beds were super comfortable and the air conditioner was the best one I have had in a hotel in a long time. This just goes to show that you cannot judge a book by its cover. read more

Look in the dictionary under "Fleabag" motel and you'll see this place. Don't let the pictures fool you. This place is a dump. Cigarette burns in our sheets and bedspreads, toilet ran all night, toilet paper holder fell out of the wall, beer bottles and cigarette butts outside our room. They didn't even have coffee available in the morning. And we were charged $20 more than the advertised price on the Choice Hotels site. It's one step up from sleeping on the street. read more
