I stayed at a cheap Econolodge in Fredericksburg last year, and was covered in bedbug bites by the time I left. Despite the poor reviews, I decided to take a chance on this Econolodge because of the price and location. It's an easy walk to UVA, restaurants, and shopping. Given the reviews, I anticipated rude staff, dirty rooms, and paper-thin... More

Many things about this hotel made me uncomfortable. The room smelled slightly of smoke, although it was a non-smoking room. The blankets looked dirty, so I removed them & slept just with sheets. The door did not appear to close completely, although the deadbolt did work. The toilet was not fully bolted into the floor & it tipped a bit... More

This is definitely not a luxury hotel, but it is the cheapest we could find in the Charlottesville area. The room was a decent size. It did have the musty, slightly smokey smell that you get in many cheaper hotels, even though it was a non-smoking room. I didn't feel the room was dirty, but you also don't get the... More

There was no hot water for shower the first night of our stay and we were told it was because too many people were using it at the same time. The sink would not drain when we arrived and we had to brush our teeth using bathtub tap. The sink did not have a stopper and anything could have fallen... More

Reserved two nights. The Internet confirmation had a 2 p.m. check-in time. Better be prepared to 2:50 p.m., or 3 p.m., or _____? Hair dryer advertised? Good luck finding one in your room. (But the maid did leave behind someone's pepper spray unit.....) The week-day light breakfast has different hours compared to the weekend. Saturday - Sunday start 1 hour... More

The building is quite old. The rooms were large enough. The bed was marginal and the two pillows provided were very flimsy. The outside walk way smelled of smoke (that's not easy to do.) The employees were friendly and polite. We've stayed in much nicer $50 hotels. We only were staying one night but would have moved to another hotel... More

The beds are terrible. It's like sleeping on a box spring with no mattress. You had no real sheet, just some kind of terry cloth like thing that was actually irritating. My wife woke up to bugs crawling on her. Not sure if bedbugs or not. Don't think so because she wasn't bitten. There is a hole in the ceiling... More
