    The water pressure in my shower - Rm 206 - was so low it was almost impossible to get the shower head to work. Otherwise a good place.

    Econolodge is aptly named. The rates are low. This facility is located in the middle of Carlisle's logistics district, which means that heavy trucks are roaring around all night. The units are somewhat insulated, but can't really keep you undisturbed. The rooms are fairly clean and decently equipped, though I didn't use the entertainment facilities. The staff is friendly and responsive, and there's a light breakfast provided. If you need low rates and just want a night's rest, it's worth the money.

    When I forest arrived asked hotel attendant for a clean room he started fighting with me and wanted me to leave. Hotel is Dirty, old, and broken items. My sheets had stains, one pillow was smelly. They did change pillow for me but sheet I didn’t notice until I turned in for the night. When blow drying my hair the power went out in that part of the room. Shower valve installed backwards and had to figure out hot and cold. Bathroom dirty, and when I first walked in there was part of a condom wrapper on the floor. Shower head old and dirty.

    When trying to pay for an extra night they ran my card and the money was taken but then they tried running my card over and over telling me we hadn't paid and that my bank had a hold on the money because it was a hotel when i had called my bank and they ensured me the hotel was paid. It was really irritating especially considering they then asked us to leave bc they claimed we hadn't paid. My wife and i had to jump.through hoops to make sure we stayed for the nights we paid for it was annoying to say the least. Not to mention the manager put us in a room upfront and we had requested a ground level room he claimed they never got the request and that we had to pay an additional $10 per day to have a ground level room as my wife is disable and cant go upstairs.

    Bed was comfortable.

    See above comment

    First, they put me in a smoking room. I don't smoke. They said I picked a smoking room, no I did not. We got switched to a nonsmoking room, much better. Lots of hair in the bathroom, pubic too. Not Good. Staff was great, not their fault as far as I can see. Prices were all up for the weekend because of the car swap meet. Drunk people slamming the walls late at night. I need to stay at nicer hotels...

    The room was dirty, the bathroom walls and floor as well as the room floor had not been properly cleaned. The trash can was filthy. The Ice bucket cracked and dirty looking. The coffee maker did not work, and the toilet backed up. Hallway Banisters had not been dusted in quite a while. This room was on par with $39.00 per night Bates hotel rooms. The attitude of the maintenance man who unplugged the toilet was concerning. Long-term residents sitting outside like a southern Roadhouse motel.

    Quiet and we felt safe. The staff was friendly.

    Its old, smells old, looks old. The shower floor was old and grimy, the room needed to be swept. The lamp shades, curtains, bedding stained orbhad cigarette burns from who knows how long ago. The sheets smeltn and looked clean. Fridge is room was not keeping temp. There was an old water bottle on the AC unit, toliet needed to be scrubbed, and it was obvious the shampoo had been used.

    The location was ideal and the staff was very friendly.

    The room seemed clean and updated but we were getting bitten by somthing while in bed. I told the staff and the manager called me with this attitude like I was lying to him. The room cost $166 and I was letting them know we had this issue. He said well I'm going to refund you $15 for your trouble and that's it. They can keep their $15 and will never see me there again. Oh and let's not forget about the drug attacks hanging out outside the front door.

    It was close to the event that we went to.

    Very noisy from truck traffic. The card reader didn’t work for Apple Pay even though it said it was supposed to take it and the employee working the desk at the check-in desk didn’t seem to care.
