Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Griffin North

The woman who checked us in was very nice, but everything else was awful. Bugs covered the bathroom floor when I turned on the light, and there were more crawling on the walls. The bathroom hadn't even been cleaned and had mildew all over. The toilet wouldn't flush properly and backed up when it did. The bed felt broken in the middle, and I could feel every spring. The odor was awful too. Maybe it's a place to party and crash, but I highly don't recommend it. I stayed because of the reviews, and now I'm wondering where they came from, or if they were paid for. I wish I could add pictures to show what I mean, but it won't let me. Save your money.

The room was clean and met basic expectations, but the environment made my last-minute, three-day stay deeply unpleasant. The neighboring guest was shouting profanities and slamming doors when I arrived. After that, aggressive arguments from what seemed like long-term residents kept me awake until 2-3 a.m. every night. People came and went, and cars revved in the lot at all hours. At 5 a.m., doors started slamming again. The hotel's coffee was my only small comfort. I didn't complain because I was worried about retaliation. The hostility made me feel unsafe, anxious, and on edge, and I spent 12 hours away from the hotel each day just to get away from it. I considered leaving after the frightening encounter with the screaming guest, but decided to endure it. At $120 a night, the cost felt unjustified. If the hotel has working security cameras, they'd show how bad the disturbances were, affecting me and likely nearby guests too. I can't recommend this hotel because of the noise and safety concerns.

The bed was comfortable, and the rooms were quiet, with expanded TV channels. But the pool was closed, and the breakfast area was nowhere near as large as it looked in the pictures. It wasn't as pictured.

The motel is in a nice, convenient location, and the price is reasonable. I found it safe to walk around, and the rooms were very neat with clean showers. The friendly employer and housekeeping staff were ready to help, including bringing fresh towels when customers asked. I'd recommend staying here.
