Econo Lodge Dewitt

The room had a flickering overhead light, broken screens, and a dirty bathtub. I felt unsafe and decided to trust my gut and leave. The place felt creepy. They use room keys, so it seemed like anyone could get into a room. When I came out to pack my car, a creepy woman was smoking and staring at my door. There were no other bookings next to my room. The second time I went out to finish packing, she was behind pine trees near my parked car. At check-in, the woman took my license and made a copy. I'd never had a place do that, and when I said I wasn't comfortable, she insisted it was their policy. She said they needed it because police come in looking for people, and it's a good way to identify who is staying there. When I returned to the desk to say I wouldn't stay, she refused to give me the copy of my license. I also didn't get a refund. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Do NOT stay here!!!

The heating and cooling system gave off an unbearable burning smell when I tried to adjust it. The toilet seat was barely attached and visibly dirty at check-in, and the toilet didn't flush properly after a bowel movement. The shower and other areas also looked like they hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in a while. After only a few minutes in the room, I started having what was likely an allergic reaction to mold and/or dust mites. I felt much better after leaving, but a couple of days later I'm still dealing with a sinus infection from the filth. I'm not usually picky about lodging, and this is the first negative review I've written about a place to stay. It really was that bad. Take the negative reviews seriously. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from this motel!!!!

The gentleman who checked us in at midnight was great. In the morning, men came to kick us out at 10:56, even though checkout was at 11. They started stripping the beds before we'd even gotten our luggage out. They were very rude, and were also yelling at a homeless man who was collecting bottles nearby.

The hot tub leaked across the whole room, leaving the floors soaked for most of the night. Only two of the eight outlets worked, and the bathroom floor and sink were covered with other people's hair and filth. We took our shoes off and our socks turned black within minutes. There were cigarette burn holes all over the bed's top blanket, plus old, dried blood spots on the bed and shower curtain. The supposedly new soaps and lotions for guests were clearly used, probably left by other guests because the owner was too cheap to replace them. My boyfriend and I stayed two nights, and in our opinion, it was definitely worth the $120 a night. GROSS!!!! 10000000% do not recommend!!
