Economy Inn Jax-OP

They ask for an extra deposit at check-in, so the real cost is almost double. There wasn't any free breakfast or even coffee, though both were advertised and were a big reason I picked this hotel. The employees didn't seem to care and just shrugged, saying they hadn't offered those things in five years. They need to fix their advertising.

For this price, I haven't found anywhere cheaper, and I can't complain about my stays. The rooms have always been clean. Nick at the front desk is delightful and really nice. The staff can be strict, but they're trying to clean things up after the place's old Super 8 days, when it used to be a nightmare. Navy is superb too and can work out great deals.

The location felt safe, and nobody bothered my car. There was some yelling from other guests, though. The doors opened and closed properly, but that's about the only other positive. The room hadn't been cleaned, and the sheets looked like they hadn't been washed in at least a week. The toilet backed up almost right away, and the toilet paper holder was broken off and left by the side of the door. If you want a cheap room and don't care about health standards, this place is doable.

Mold was all over the place, doors kept slamming, and the noise outside made it impossible to sleep. I told the manager, but he just looked at me like I was crazy. There wasn't even a lampshade on the lamp, and I saw roaches on the floor in the middle of the night. It was awful, and I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. They need to shut it down.
