Bed bugs
Pros: The staff were nice
Cons: I asked to be placed by my self on and end, I was placed right by the office. I let that slide. I paid a 26.00 deposit to bring my dog with me, she is generally very quite; however, due to the non stop foot traffic all night, the lady screaming in the lobby, the tweakers all over the place trying to get into my car she barked at every noise most of the night. When I left I was covered with red bite marks down both of my legs. My dog and her blanket were also covered. I have to wash and use extreme heat to dry everything as well as having my dog bathed and her kennel cleaned. I was very disappointed in my experience at the specific Eccono Lodge. I will not be staying here again, ever.
Pros: Friendly staff.
Cons: Bad odor in room. Stains on carpet. Dead bugs on window sill.
