It was close to an event I was attending and it was quiet for the most part. I did have someone knock on the door in the middle of the night but I’m sure it was kids just playing around. It was a good place to relax.

Not bad. Was a convenient stay

This place was pretty good. I slept well and continued on the road the following day. Room was clean and reasonably priced. Gas and food across the street. Downtown Kent just a short drive away.

This econo lodge is an econo lodge. If you travel and know the meaning of that i will say the pool was warm enough for my son to have a good time and the rooms were good for the value. The desk man was nice. Get some juice for kids for breakfast.. maybe put out some banana s... make sure you check it is full instead of empty. So overall meet our expectations for what we needed. Better than other econo lodge s and did the job.

Motel is rather run down and dingy. Clientele seemed a bit sketchy. That said, it seems family owned and the desk staff were very nice and helpful. They seem like they are trying, for example by providing packaged breakfast foods, and a microwave and fridge in room, but just are limited by the building being in not great condition.

Dirty but quiet

Hotel sink toilet and tub were old but nasty. The chair had visible stains and piles of dust. The refrigerator was dirty and the freezer stunk. Good thing the bed was clean and so were the sheets. Very quiet!

The room we paid for on lines pictures were not what we received. Upon arriving, had to pay extra fifty dollars deposit. Out of all the hotels that we have been to, this was the only hotel to ask for a deposit that took us out of our budget. The plus side was that the room was clean. Breakfast was ok. Would not stay here again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

It’s not very clean. Would not recommend bringing children here. It smells very bad like smoke even the non smoking room that I booked. The pool is very nice, not too big but a good size for a quick dunk. The pictures look very kid friendly (pool) but I couldn’t even have guessed the last time this place has been updated for safety hazards in that area.

There was no A/C except in the room and the elevator was broken and we had to carry luggage up the stairs. Felt very unsafe. The only good thing was the bed was comfortable. The floors were sticky. They didn’t clean prior to us arriving. The bed was clean, but bathroom and floor in the room were a mess.

Pictures are deceiving. This place is filthy and in need of some major renovation. They do not properly clean there room and the lien is old. The walls are as thin as paper and you can hear all of your neighbors even across the hall. Not safe at all, anybody can walk in thru the side doors and the parking lot is disgusting. Please stay away from this place, especially if you have kids. The staff were very nice bu this place needs a complete gut renovation.. RUN!!

The room was exceptionally clean when we arrived. So much so it was burning our eyes, nose and throats from the chemical smell. We had to open the unscreened window to get fresh air. Room was nice and what we expected. The bathroom was tiny and the tub was old, dingy and broken. And we were told that no where in the hotel can you take a bath even though they had tubs it was shower only due to plumbing and pipe issues. The pool was more like an oversized hot tub. But it was clean. We did not use it because it was small and only 3 foot 6 inches and round. It would have been hard to swim due to size. The doors from outside leading into hotel did not lock and were not secure. Anyone could just walk on in so it was not very safe. The continental breakfast was a joke!! Juice machine was broken and all they offered to drink was coffee. Not very kid friendly. They had only a few slices of bread, and a couple croissants with no butter or jelly. They had 3 frozen waffles in the fridge open and laying out on shelf. Not very sanitary. They did have cereal but milk was in open pitcher and only limited. The first day we were able to get packages hostess coffee cake and mini individually wrapped cupcakes but 2nd day they had none. Needless to say we did not get breakfast there either day. If you have a lot of luggage or heavy items or are handicapped hope you get a first floor room because we were told the elevator did not work. We had to carry all our stuff upstairs
