Econo Lodge Elk City

Visited again after last year’s stay! Motel has improved somewhat so that the price to value proposal is better now. Simple and clean but needs further updating. Just the right place to arrive, sleep and take off again Breakfast is ok for the price.

Stayed here twice coming and going out West. The only reason we came back the second time was for the comfortable beds. There was nobody in the office, but when you opened the door it chimed to let the owners know someone was there. We had a reservation, but I had to ask for the specific room type that i wanted. It took quite a while to check in, but the guy was pleasant. I did appreciate the guy went to check the room to see if it was OK, but then again I DID have a reservation, so he had all day to check on this...so more waiting. We had asked for an outside facing room, but ended up in the inner courtyard, which was really dark and dreary since you had no outside view. There were nice palm trees and greenery with seating and games like shuffle board and pool around the area, but it did make it a bit noisy. The room was huge, but the carpets were absolutely filthy! Our feet were so black that we had to wash them twice to get the oily black stuff off. It was really gross!! There was a fridge and microwave, but they weren't very clean. The TV worked, but it was annoying because it wasn't programmed, and with all the subchannels it was near impossible to find anything to watch. The beds here were about the most comfortable of our whole trip, (including the more expensive hotels) which is why we came back, ! Too bad they don't spend a little more to clean the rooms, and bring them up to a decent standard.. The sheets have stains on them, and the key cards are from the old Ambassador Hotel, which I assume is what it was before it was Econo Lodge. There was no breakfast here, not even granola bars to take. We left the second time, and there was nobody around. We rang the bell and waited and waited, but nobody came. We finally left a note that we were leaving and left the keys in the room. And we left a note that we had no facecloths in the room, so they wouldn't think we stole them! We might come back for the beds, but that's the only positive.

simly the nastiest room I have stayed in in years. I didn't even think about using the shower till I got to my next hotel room the next day. They thoughtfully had a coffee pot with no cups to drink from in the room. there was a bad musty smell and it looked like the hotel was being used as an apartment for a few residents. The lady who greeted me was nice but the hotel just doesn't match up to the standards of it's parent company. I was very disapointed. the room was paid for by my client that night so I paid nothing and it was still not worth the money. the Econo Lodge in Elk City actually felt more like someplace you would bring a new "friend" and rent by the hour. I hope the parent company sinks a little money into this to bring it up to the standards they boast about. I will not stay here agian. the outide of the building looks like a storm hit it and they just decided to leave it like it was. Very sad to see a once nice hotel fall into such disrepair
