The EconLodge in Dodge City, KS, was a dump with a capital "D". When we checked in, I asked for a ground floor room, which Victor (desk clerk) gave us, room 116 as a matter of fact. The room smelled horrible, as if it had been closed up for a VERY LONG time, and almost took our breath away. The walls were tissue paper thin, and apparently NO insulation between the floors, as the person/... [more]people above us had a 15 month old baby, and you could literally hear the child walking/running across the floor. After dealing with this for a very short time, I told my husband that was ENOUGH and headed to the front office, where I plainly told Victor (desk clerk), that I wanted a room where NO ONE was above us, or my money back... his choice.

We were given another room, room 222, upstairs... where the room still smelled, but not as badly. When you walked across the floor the boards would creak, the doors (room & bathroom) needed a good shot of WD-40, and our toilet was broken, whereas you had to literally stand there and wait for the tank to fill up and then jiggle the handle for it to shut off. The bed linen was wrinkled and upstairs where we were now moved, the TV set was smaller compared to the one on the Ground Floor.

ONE Ice Machine for the main motel, located on the Ground floor, so if you wanted Ice, you had to run up & down the stairs. No Shampoo, coffee pot, stationery or anything!

This place was a DUMP with a capital "D-U-M-P", and I would not recommend it to any one. It might be great for pets, but for humans, For-get IT!

I rate this MOTEL = MINUS 100 [less]

It is was remodeled, it was 1960! The edges on the sink, etc. were gone and so you have to be careful when you wash that you don't scrape yourself or tear clothes on the rough edge of the pressed board. The windows were old and so didn't lock too well and opened onto the parking area. At least you knew you were the only people there. Actually the night we were there, there were two ot... [more]her cars in the parking area. None of the ice machines worked. One Pepsi machine worked. You had to go to the swimming pool area (and I would NOT swim in it) and then there was a working ice machine. I am not fussy, guys. This place is a major dump! Some manager gave this rating. Even the people at the good steak house in town will tell you.... EconoLodge is a dump. [less]
