Econo Lodge Albuquerque East

This motel was disgusting. Both beds had cigarette burns in the blankets, none of the outlets worked properly, the AC/heater was coming out of the wall, and the bathroom fan had no cover. It was clogged with so much dust that it didn’t even work. They advertise an on-site restaurant, but there wasn’t one, and the photos online are fictional. Spend a little more and stay somewhere else.

The place was really run down and low quality. We got only one pillow, no soap, and no towels. Breakfast had run out within an hour and wasn’t replenished. If I’d known that, I never would have booked. I paid $100 a night for something that honestly should have been free. I don’t recommend it.

We had a night of noise, and the TV kept turning itself on and off. The room smelled of cigarettes and weed coming from other rooms. There was no soap or towels, the pillows had no covers, and the bedsheet had red dots that looked like blood. When I complained, the front desk guy said they do the same thing to everyone and there was no refund or anything for the service. He was angry and rude instead of apologizing. Shame on you, Economic Lodge. Disgusting place, please don’t stay here.

Econolodge was a frustrating experience. I paid $480 every week for three months, but when I left, my $100 deposit was never returned. The owner kept making excuses and ignored my attempts to contact them. I’m unhappy with the whole experience. Do better.
