Econo Lodge Charleston East

It is very sketchy, it is no longer Econo Lodge but rather a Super 8 and a Days Inn both in one building. I am not sure which one we stayed in but the room was dirty, the door latch did not line up with both sides, they do not honor reservations made online. They also change the price of the rooms depending on the time of day it is. If you like walking into the lo by and having people sleeping in chairs and watching TV then I would say this is right up your alley. I will not be staying at another Econo Lodge/Super 8/ Days Inn whatever else they may want to go by. There was also people just walking around the parking lot looking at the different vehicles in the lot. I did not feel like they cared about making the guest feel very comfortable with staying there.

Had no issues with the room nor neighbors. Rooms were clean and had all bathroom/ shower supplies. Some rooms have great water pressure while others didnt but that's to be expected on how close you are to the hot water tank. Me and wife stays once a week just to get away.Rooms: 5/5

Our room was clean and tidy and looked just like the photographs. People who wrote poor reviews must have been focusing on the exterior. Yes it is right along the freeway and feels like a truck stop but it was a very affordable place for us to crash and comfortable. Had better climate control than more expensive motels I've stayed in.Rooms: 4/5

The sheets and blankets and several stains of unknown substance, they also had several burn holes, I would attach pictures but it will not let me. The bathroom was not clean. When walking up to our room we were followed up the stairs and then stared at by the handful of people out in the balcony, a few of which I could only assume were escorts. Needless to say I didn’t feel comfortable with myself and 3 kids after about 5 minutes and finding a room somewhere else we left.

Smoking room wasn't awful smelling, fairly clean, but could use a deep clean. Toilet leaked water. No ash trays, cups, bags, or ice bucket. Pillows were worn out, and there was a lot of people coming and going from multiple rooms. Seemed sketchy. Lobby smelled and looked wretched. Desk guy was friendly and courteous.Rooms: 2/5

What can I say, the meaning of a non smoking room and the sign on the outside of the room door does not mean Anything. It was late when we checked in the room smelled so horribly bad like cigarette smoking had been going on everyday for years we left very early after only being able to take the smell for juat 4 hrsRooms: 1/5

Was on trip decided to get room at last minute. 3am they answer phone very polite and friendly. Told me the fullnprice ahead of time tax and all. No deposit. Had 1 room left even offered to let me inspect it before paying! Not exactly super clean but there was no bugs or hairs anywhere. It smelled clean as well. Beds were clean and well made with bed bug covers and mattress covers! No stains or bugs! Not bad for an older place! No complaints!

HORRIBLE!! If you don't mind having extra roommates that they dont twll you about bugs , horrible smells that you cant get rid of no matter what you spray, cigarette burns and stains all over your bedding, being followed back and forth form your vehicle to your room over and over, toilets leaking, staff coming into your room anytime they want and stuff coming up missing , leave something behind and not even 10 mins later you call to say your on your way back they say they already rent the room out and nothings in there then this would be the place for you!! If not go across the street to quality inn !! You will thank me later

The staff was really friendly and booked us at short notice with a pet, they were even bros about waiving the pet fee because our dog is tiny. Also, it was quite affordable to begin with. I just have to give it 2 stars because it was so dirty I couldn't hardly sleep, and if I had absolutely needed a shower there I probably would have had a full on breakdown, super super disgusting. That said, if you bring your own pillowcases and towels this place is affordable for a night. Lots of crackheads in the parking lot though, so lock up tight!

If you're looking for a comfortable clean room, no frills this is it. I'm a smoker and getting a smoking room is tough! I got one here. This room had a fridge and microwave but no coffee maker. It definitely needs paint and curtains that actually close all the way! It is an older hotel and needs updating but overall not bad for the price.
