Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Granite City - St Louis

The stay was ultimately very good, but it seems the power went out at some point

It was in a sketchy and dark area. Our toilet got clogged up and it took forever to get that taken care of. We needed towels and asked for them and they were in the wash then we never got them until I had to ask again. Didn't like that there was no pool. Not good for the price.

The staff was nice. Property is in absolutely terrible shape. First thing was a sign saying park at your own risk! AC did not work. Was told to unplug and plug back in. Toilet flushed very slow. Soft parts to the floor. Heard the people next door all night long.

They allowed us to check in early but we couldn't go into the room, which was ok since we were only staying there because my daughter was having surgery. Once we finally got there the front desk staff acted like we were bothering her, even though we already had a key and didn't need her help for anything. The room did not have a coffee pot so when we got up at 5:30 am we went downstairs to get a cup from the lobby. A different front desk staff was there but she wasn't any friendlier. She started telling us that the free breakfast wasn't available until 7 am. I informed her that I didn't want any of the food, I just wanted coffee since the rooms didn't have any available and that I was going to take my daughter some juice up. She got nasty and told me that the juice wouldn't come on until 7 am. There is no vending of any kind on the second floor where we were. She could have explained about the juice nicely instead of being rude to me. I would not recommend anyone staying here and if you do, just beware. The Waffle House next door has really nice employees and good coffee if you need some. Because you certainly won't get good coffee there or be treated well. The ladies that were there when I checked in were really nice though.

Parking lot was mostly full. Staff was friendly.

Faculty was clean. Smelled horribly of cigarettes and weed in the hallway. We checked out on Saturday and my $50 deposit has not been refunded yet. I have mixed feelings about this stay. Check out took over 20 minutes because of an unexplained $10 charge.

Absolutely disgusting hotel! The location was sketchy, with no good restaurants close by. The outside of the building looked like homeless people lived there, with no landscaping at all. A horrible odor permeated the whole hotel. When we arrived at our room, the door was propped open with a dirty towel. Our room had a broken window that wouldn't close, no sheer curtain (which made it very dark), and the carpet was filthy. The air conditioning unit clanked continuously, and the toilet handle had to be jiggled. A safety bar on the tub would have been helpful. The breakfast was so-so, but the juice wasn't chilled and the orange juice was brown. There were two good things - the staff was very friendly, and the refrigerator had a freezer. FIND ANOTHER HOTEL!!!

Wowza... Spend the extra 30 and stay somewhere else. The TV gets no signal or channels...useless. When I asked the front desk they took the remote because, apparently, it wasn't the hotel's remote. They had to bring a new one...then the TV worked. The bed frames are rickety. You can hear the people walking above you, it's very loud!! The floorboards and fans probably never get cleaned. Corners and crevices are particularly gross. The pillows are cheap as hell and worn out, plus they only give two per bed...rather sad. One of the flat sheets had cigarette burns so I had to ask for a new one. The room smells of smoke even though it's a non-smoking room. You definitely get what you pay for 🙄. 10/10 would not recommend and I definitely won't be back. The only positives are the fact that there's a microwave and the check in personnel were friendly.

When you walk in the hotel it stinks. The room smells so bad I had to bleach it down and I couldn't sleep under the covers cuz I didn't trust it I had to sleep on top of covers I bought from home. There was no breakfast when we went out there I didn't feel safe I stayed up half the night and I couldn't cancel so I had no choice but to stay there I was really uncomfortable never again

Garbage in the hallway and everything smelled like weed. I had a non smoking room but marijuana stink came through the vents.

The sheets had yellow stains when i asked for new ones the new ones were worse looks like someone peed a full bladder on them checked out within 5 minutes of arriving

My room just smelled like smoke bad bad. The bed was massively squeaky. The red chair and lamps looks like they have been in a smoking room for 10 years.

It stinks when you first walk in the room

hay chimches en la cama....

Was put into a room with someone in it at 1st. Then the room we got looked nothing like the pictures! Room was old, dirty, and disgusting! This was by far the one of the worst we have ever stayed in.

It was close to where we wanted to stay. There was only 1 room available with 2 beds so when we found out the toilet did not flush we were not able to change rooms. The front desk came immediately to check but had to call for maintenance to come. Not at the property - had to wait almost 2 hours. Did not arrive until 9:30 PM which is not acceptable after a long day of driving.

There was pretty much nothing good about this place. Did not feel safe, could hear people having sex all through the night and morning. Could hear everything from many rooms. Dirty bathroom, looked like it had been cleaned but just needed to be completely replaced a few years ago.

I stayed at this property because it was for a work stay and it was close to my job location. It wasn't bad. They had breakfast most mornings. But the walls are thin and you can hear others around. I would say it was okay

The place was fine. Breakfast was good. My only issue was the bed had one sheet and a very thin cover (that was thinner than the sheet). When we got to our room someone had the air conditioner on full blast and it was freezing! We actually had to turn the heater on in mid-May. With the thin sheets for covers we were cold all night. Obviously I should have left the heater on longer, just seemed odd to do that when it was warm outside. Really need to get some type of comforter or duvet or have blankets available in the room.

My firt time stay there and never stay again rooms ugly water shower to slow bet uncomfortable so no recommend sorry but no not good

Bed could have been a brick for starters, the first room the lights barely worked and everything had a switch, yes even the ceiling fan had a switch above the bed rest. The furthest light had a switch behind the tv. And the toilet couldn’t even flush toilet paper, I get the saying is you get what you paid for but I could have at least had a toilet that could flush. Or the literal battle over breakfast watching 3 people push and shove to fill there 3 plates before we were disgusted and got food else where. Please stay at your own risk

Off the beaten path. Comfortable sleeping. Very friendly & helpful desk person

Gave us a key to someone else’s room. Had to wait almost 2 hours for them to clean a new room for me. Overall not to bad will book again for the price

Very friendly staff

I booked my hotel room 3 months in advance for 2 adults and one child for a room with two queen beds. (Plus we had our pet) When we arrived today they did not have any double bed rooms. They didn’t have any extra cots or roll away beds. They only had one-bed rooms available and tried to tell me that was the room I booked. I showed him my email confirmation that I booked a standard room with two queen beds. The man at the desk wasn’t even sorry. He only said there was nothing they could do since all the other rooms were already occupied. After driving 13 hours to get there from New Orleans we had to find a different hotel for that night. Worst booking ever.

They almost NEVER return your deposit within the time frame they give you, if they return it at all. It's been over 2 weeks from one stay and going on a week from the next. I mean you can say I guess I don't learn from my mistakes. Because after the first time I should have never stayed there again but I did and I usually stay there over any where else.

I was hit with a million fees upon check in. Granted I should’ve read the “fine” print before signing my invoice. I booked online & went off what was posted online. Lady at the counter was bothered by the fact that she had to provide a service & it took her away from her phone call….it’s clearly just a pay check to her.

Staff was very helpful always

After we check in, noticed that the room above us had children and they were extremely noisy and stomping around very loudly. Went to the front desk and the man at the desk wasn’t helpful, I asked him to come and listen to the noise, he didn’t. We left and went and got dinner, came back and the noise level was still the same. He told me that no one was in the room above me. He followed me to our room, #116, heard the noise, and left. 10 more minutes, I go back to the front desk and there is also a lady there, they finally move me and my husband to a room on the opposite hallway to a king room.

Christine was phenomenal, went above and beyond. Thank you! All your staff was very lovely.

A horrible odor permeated the whole hotel. When we arrived at our room, the door was propped open with a dirty towel. Our room had a broken window that wouldn't close, no sheer curtain (which made it very dark), and the carpet was filthy. The air conditioning unit clanked continuously, and the toilet handle had to be jiggled. A safety bar on the tub would have been helpful. The breakfast was so-so, but the juice wasn't chilled and the orange juice was brown. There were two good things - the staff was very friendly, and the refrigerator had a freezer. FIND ANOTHER HOTEL!!!

Everything was really great. Affordable, friendly staff, easy access, room was clean. Only thing I marked less than best was because of the toilet. Until i figured out what position to put the flusher lever in, it would run. I alerted the staff of it at checkout. Even with that, very good stay, i will definitely return if I ever need a hotel in that area.

Hotel is nice.... run down one next door so neighborhood is kinda questionable sorry but whole area is sketch....sorry but that I felt....if I would of known would of stayed else where

When you walk in the hotel it stinks. The room smells so bad I had to bleach it down and I couldn't sleep under the covers cuz I didn't trust it I had to sleep on top of covers I bought from home. There was no breakfast when we went out there I didn't feel safe I stayed up half the night and I couldn't cancel so I had no choice but to stay there I was really uncomfortable never again

Overall the stay was adequate, right off the highway so convenient.

The room was okay. The area is quiet but their breakfast is complete trash and limited.

There area wasn't a good area. It was very dirty all around. Also I didn't feel very safe in this area.
