Definitely a budget hotel. Terrible ventilation. My room smelled like pot whenever I would enter. If you book here, they ask for a deposit when you check in. Be sure to get it back when you leave. One positive, they do have cameras in the parking areas.

Noisy. Motorcycles racing back and forth under our window afternoon and night. Tub was open to the sleeping area rather than the bathroom. No closet or hanging space. Bed was comfy. Breakfast included waffles and biscuits with sausage and gravy.

Excellent room and staff. Vending machine had problem. But staff helped. Room was spacious with large TV with good amount of channels. Locality was not great, with limited vegetarian restaurants nearby.

It’s an older property that has been updated. The rooms are nice and big for large families. I waited for 10 minutes at the desk to ask for another key and several people passed through and said someone would be there soon to help me but no one came. I gave up. Breakfast is skimpy. No tea to cold water. Parking lot is a party zone all night long. Very noisy part of town. The people working there are trying but I wouldn’t go there again.

This spot was just what we needed for a quick overnight stay. It was unique to us to stay in downtown Waterloo. We were greeted kindly and in response to my booking request for a handicapped height toilet (71 with wonky knees) we walked into not the non-smoking Kkng I’d booked, but a very nice two room suite! We regretted that we had just the one night to enjoy it!

The elevator sounded like it would break down at any minute, the hallways smelled like marijuana. We were even on no smoking floor. It was so noisy outside with emergency vehicles, motorcycles, drunk people it made it hard to sleep. There were cigarette holes in the bedding. Bad neighborhood. Felt very unsafe, almost didn't stay. My son said the breakfast was good- cereal and waffles.

Although it was clean it still needed alot of TLC. Rooms smelled, stains on floors and furniture. Bedding had holes in it. The bare minimum has been done to the rooms, repairs to walls etc need done. Our "suite" had the smallest frig ive ever seen, a gallon of milk and a couple bottles pop filled it. Breakfast was bare minimum also, waffle machine that timer was broke. Toast, cereal, yogurt, apples. Only 1 elevator worked. Staff was friendly but definately needs some updating

They have no sense of security and when there are homeless people sleeping under the benches and drug addicts hanging around the building it makes it a little uncomfortable to come and go. We found a crack pipe under the couch the first night of our stay. The last night of our stay the bathroom light was out so we had to shower in the dark. They only had one elevator working, and its been that way for years. We did not get house keeping until 3 days in. The place is WAY too expensive for what you are getting or do I say not getting.

The breakfast was essentially a waffle maker. Very little else to choose from. Location is worn and walking down the hallways smelled like cigarette smoke. The mattress had to be somewhat old... noticeable indention from years of use. Furniture- assuming old, or broken, piled up in the parking lot. If money is all that matters, the rate is very good compared to paying well over $100 elsewhere... just understand, you get what you pay for.

Getting in a little late, I was tired and still had to wait on my SO. There were obvious signs of neglect, however, there were also signs of growth. Waterloo, and the Econo, are showing signs of growth, and I like it. Yes, they need support and I am here to offer mine.

The hallways smelled vaguely of body odor, and the rooms smelled like a mixture of salami and canned air freshener. My companions and I felt that the breakfast options were lacking as well

Had no clue how bad this hotel location was/is! Horrible area of dwntwn Waterloo! The staff was awful…rude and did not care about guests at all! Were more concerned about their phones or talking to eCh other in their native tongue…again was rude bc the guests should be showed that they were glad to have us. Not that we were bothering them. Had a room issue, but they ignored request to fix it. Whole place wreaked of smoking when description said non smoking hotel. Rooms were a nice size, but not clean…would not take my sandals off anywhere…including the shower! Only ‘good thing’ was that the bed was comfy and smelled/looked clean. Nothing else redeemable about this Econo lodge .

Read some other poorly rated reviews and have concluded they are likely competitors who never stayed there and are trying to lower their rating score, especially reviews with no comments. I stayed there one night and arrived on August 10th at 10 pm. The building is a modern 5 story in the middle of the city. There were are people sitting on the benches outside smoking but assume they were guests with no smoking rooms. I made a reservation and got the $45 single rate so $50 with tax. You can't beat that at any chain motel these days. The room was clean and looked fairly updated with a flat screen, microwave, fridge and nice bathroom. If you just need a place to stay for the night without spending $70 or $80 at 3 star place, don't hesitate to come here.
