The bedding is old and ragged, some of it is torn. Cockroaches everywhere. The staff is limited in the English language and does not understand questions asked. I complained about the cockroaches and the clerk looked at me and said ok. They advertise continental breakfast but they do not have it. I asked for coffee and was told it was not provided. I will not stay at this place again.

Beware, do not stay at this hotel, most of the residents live in the hotel and there are a lot of homeless people hanging around. Everything was filthy I was in complete shock, the floors were dirty there was a blue chair in the room that was stained with what looked as if people were having sex in the chair, the paint was peeling of the walls, the bathroom was filthy, the shower head had a towel tired around it to keep it upright, there was mold spots on the ceiling and I saw what looked like a bullet hole next to one of the beds. I immediately went to the front office and asked for a refund and was told that the manager is the only one that can give refunds. I contacted Expedia.com and the manager refused to give the refund! The photo that is being used to advertise this hotel is a really old photo and it does not represent what the hotel looks like now. Please do not stay at this disgusting, unclean hotel.

Dirties place ever, the towels looks like a mechanic cleaned the hand before placing the towels in the bathroom, everything was dirty. Will never stay at any of their hotels. Very disappointed

I asked for another room and was somehow worse, so I got moved to a third one and was just like the first one. These are no living conditions not even for 1 minute. I booked a whole ween in advanced and didn’t even stayed there for 10 minutes. Pictures on the website are deceiving and not a real representation of what you will get. Also a lot of people doing drugs and watching you every move when you go in our out of you car, the location is not secure and very ghetto.
- 1/5
I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It was infested with roaches, our towels were dingy, the bathroom door was broken, the beds smelt like smoke, had burn marks in them. The people were up all hours of the night/early morning fighting, drug deals & possible prostitution going on next door to our room. There were thieves outside opening & breaking off magnetic alarms off merchandise. We couldn't even sleep worried if someone was gonna bust through our door. Never ever will we stay here again.

Dont be fooled...the room is as pictured on the website. But it is dirty. Blankets were stained as if it was not washed. The pillow cases were moldy. We had to ask for new sheets & pillow cases. Instead, we got the same kind of stained pillow cases and blankets. So I ended up buying a blanket to use. Towels looked like they were used rags. Which I didnt care for because I brought my own. AC was dirty, bathroom smelled like pee, fridge had ice chunks built up.

Nothing There was nothing good about this place. It was very dirty and poorly maintained, with cockroaches of all sizes on the walls, furniture, and even the pillows. There were splashes of something suspicious and red on the ceiling, and strange stains on the sink and in the bathroom. There weren’t enough towels, and the shower handle was loose. The room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. They saw that I was staying with my daughter under 10 years old, yet there was noise all night long—guests playing loud music on speakers, shouting, and cars starting up repeatedly. For the price, it was completely unacceptable and not worth it.

My daughter and I have stayed here for an extended time, and I will definitely say that the staff is very friendly. Helpful with all your needs, and always on top of all request. To me this is home away from home. Very peaceful and clean. I would definitely recommend The Econo Lodge on Lackland the best place we've stayed thus far

The picture for the room are fake. Everyone should read all reviews before booking. Every bad review by others is on point. Did walk through of both rooms before bringing out luggage in. The first room had burns in bed sheet and blanket looked like it was melted, bathroom light fixture had roaches in it. All furniture was sticky, microwave and mini fridge was dirty and broken, flooing was peeling up, and lock on door didn't function. 2nd room was same way but the bath tub drain had a big nasty ball of hair in it, weird substance in dresser. Graffiti on ceiling and walls. Walked out. Went to a different hotel. No amenities were provided. 10 out 10 dont recommend.

Staff was super nice. If you need somewhere just to lay your head for 4 hours and not worried about anything else this is the spot. If you’re worried about your room being clean, not smelling like an ash tray, or strange people walking through the parking lot, this isn’t the place.

I didn't know there was so much prostitution in that place, i actually feared for my life and my daughters. Also the door on room 223 that i was given didn't even close n i believe the regular custumers knew that because on the second day I saw a man leaving my room while another one was on watch and I'm not sure if anything was stolen, they both ran when i was spotted and when i told the staff, they told me to come back tomorrow at 7am because they had no rooms available, which is a lie they had plenty of rooms eveb thought i feered for my life. I could not sleep those days and would move the couch over to block the door. The laundry room did not work and they had no breakfast even though they advertise that they do. The pool had so much trash inside cause no one ever cleans it. Never in a million years will i ever stay there, not even if i was payed to do it.

German cockroaches EVERYWHERE, it is infested and a health hazard. Bedding had hair, makeup stains, pieces of skin flakes. It was not clean. Constant slamming doors from neighbors, yelling back and forth, people partying and blasting music untill 5 am. Haveing house keeping try to get in in the morning and left my door open halfway. That day I asked front desk about it, they gave me a DO NOT DESTURB sign for my door. Next morning i get woken up to banging on my door despite the sign, then it stops. I was not decent and trying to get out of the bathroom to answer the door, but then heard my door chain and i had to quickly come out and i see a hand in my door trying to unlock my chain lock, front desk staff trying to break in because they wanted to talk to me about my payment on an extension, but also told me they were trying to get in because they didnt think anyone was in there. But all of my stuff was there and the chain lock was on, so that made no sense. Just a whole mess. Would give 0 stars, place needs to be shut down or completely overhauled.

I never expected a very comfortable stay at a place I always considered a very low budgeted hotel. I will never underestimate a hotel by its name or judge it based on its name. This Econo Lodge was not only economical but it gave me a comfort feeding as if I were at home.

Do not stay here. Hardly nothing worked in the hotel. They do not offer breakfast as advertised. Very sketchy outside. They also do not have infant cribs or elevators. The floors were nasty, our feet were black after about 5 mins of no shoes. Hair dryer didn’t work, outlets didn’t work, some light switches didn’t work. Save your money. DO NOT STAY HERE

We stayed in room 126 and 127. Both rooms stunk so bad. There was no smoke detectors in the room. The bathtubs were in horrible shape. The floors were disgusting and in room 127 there was a glob of hair stuck to the wall. Which I left there because I wasn’t touching. The bedding was literally a sheet to cover up with. We stayed out most of the time because it was just terrible. I will NEVER recommend anyone to stay there. Also the front desk clerk Vish made some perverted comments to my mom with my dad standing right there. Just rediculous.

Don't waste your money in this place. We have stay in many Econolodge before, and they are okay. But this place is disgusting. We asked for a non-smoking room as we were traveling with our kid, but the room was so smelly, the bed sheet had holes made by cigarettes, the same with the chair. The room had dead cockroaches all over the floor, obviously not cleaned in a long time. We did not even spend 3 minutes in the room and decided not to stay there. The receptionist, is the most rude and careless person I have ever encountered, she did not want to refund my money because the policy said 24h in advance, but I did not know the place was in so bad conditions that we couldn't stay. The parking lote looked so insecure with people wandering around.

The room was dirty/not cleaned from prior occupant, there was people yelling and banging on the doors all night, no safety lock on the door (had to use a chair), loud music until after midnight, for a non-smoking room there was a smell and burn holes in the comfortor. We had to check out early because it is not safe. The pictures online are not a true representation of what you get.

Beer bottles left around the property. The rooms were not bad basically you get what you pay for. Chain locks didn’t work properly on two of our rooms. It has a feel that these people live there then people staying a few nights and leaving. Wouldn’t recommend taking kids there to be on the safe side! Drunk people out during the week nights at almost midnight beating on doors.

The worst hotel experience I have had. 1st room tv did not work. 2nd room refrigerator was off and moldy on the inside. 3rd room microwave did not work but I didn’t change rooms again. I was tired of packing up and moving. There was also a couple fighting in the door way of the room next to me. I told the office if it continued I was going to call the police. And to top it off the last room had no wash clothes or hand towels. I would not ever stay here again. And I would suggest no one else stay here.

It stated the have breakfast… they do not!! Plus we ordered a non smoking and the whole building is smoking. Cigarette burns on sheets, on walls. The whole location looked so shady. The beds were all uncomfortable and you can hear leaky faucets at night. This roof was also infested with roaches!!!! We checked out at 6AM will never come back! The white gentleman in the morning was super sweet and nice! However the two Indian people at night on checking where a bit rude and asked for an extra $50 hold on our cards. There was no notice anywhere online about this hold. We had the money but if you are on a budget and don’t expect this hold beware!
