R. D.+M. I. K have been to this econo lodge in west haven many times. I staff here are simply wonderful and obliging to any of your needs promptly. The rooms have always been stellar in cleanliness with towels and sheets the fluffiest and soft less wonderfully done. Everything worked properly in the room the TV and sink and shower hot water toilet flushed properly and the blower didn't work and called the desk and gladly brought me another one that worked . Some people talk about the place in general, it may not be up to date on hallway and so forth yet they are spotless. The rooms are clean and welcoming and everything works. As I said the staff which I knew all their name to race about but I have met Martin ( maintenance who's work is superior and Sherry who I call Porsha who sometimes is on the desk, always hands on to attend to ones need like re programming the TV for us late last night. A++++ rating all around. Thank you west haven econo lodge for making our stay wonderful again R D.+ M. I. K

The property is unclean and extremely run-down, and my non-smoking room reeked of cigarettes. There are signs in hallways warning against illegal activity. I was going to just deal with it, but then I discovered there was no bathroom door in my room. I called the front desk, and he said he didn't know why that was, though he didn't sound surprised or concerned. The next day I called the hotel manager, and he too sounded unsurprised and unconcerned upon hearing it. I ended up sleeping in my car in a campground parking lot because it felt safer and more secure. Since the reviews have been awful for a long time and nothing appears to have changed, it's clear the manager does not care.

Worst place on earth! I would give 0 stars if I absolute could!!! Definitely read the reviews on this dirt bag hotel! I booked for one night before flying with the family the next morning. The pics are from maybe when the place was first built. My family and I got there and instantly felt sketchiness all over. The place was run down and seemed to have a bunch of people hanging around all over ( not sure if homeless or drug addicts or what). We checked in anyway despite our gut feeling and saw the receptionist behind bullet proof glass. Our room was on the second floor- non smoking room. We opened the door and it stunk to high hell of smoke and other things. My husband got a headache and I got really nauseous..The blanket on the bed had cigarette burns in them, everything was so outdated and basically falling apart. There was a sliding glass window next to our bed that was wide open and could barely close and slightly lock. Anyone could have gotten into our room with ease. There were holes in the wall that weren’t fixed. We decided within 10 minutes we were not going to spend the night as we were not safe or comfortable there. We went back to the lobby and told the receptionist we were not staying there, to cancel our reservation and that we wanted our money back. She just said ok. I asked for a confirmation and was told they don’t do that. I was just told we will get our money back within a week. I did not get my money back and have called this establishment multiple times asking for our refund and demanding to speak to a manager. They always have an excuse that one isn’t there. I’ve asked for a manager to call me back and nothing! I’ve had to get my bank involved and in process of disputing this ridiculous charge! NEVER book with econo lodge- they will just rob you!!!!

This place is a major scam! stay away at all costs! Double booked rooms. paided for a jacuzzi suite...got a bath tub instead (jacuzzi didn't work). went to office to get it taken care of - was told they could move me (already unpacked) instead of just dropping the room cost to a standard king. ceilings are starting to fall in...spend the extra and go elsewhere!

From the minute you walk into the lobby to the time you get to your room the stench of urine will assail your nostrils. I had to complain to get a wash rag, all I had was a foot towel and a drying towel. The walls in the bathroom looked like someone had tried to put holes in them and needed painting badly. And OHHHH... the urine smell. Overall, this place I believe just needs to be rebuilt from top to bottom, it's really rundown and old and maybe it should be illegal to pay 100+ taxes included for a dump like this. DONT set foot in this place unless you ABSOLUTELY have no other choice!!!! I will NEVER go back!!!

This place was disgusting. The staff said they had multiple rooms available. When we got there the credit card machine wasnt working and they demanded $125 cash for the room. After debating for almost an hour they finally agreed to let us stay by taking down our credit info to charge in the morning. After going into the hotel room and finding out the safety latch was co.etely removed and the deadbolt lock on thw door didnt work we asked for another room. Now they say that was thw only room available. I chose to stay in thw lobby for the evening, while thw guy woke me up every 10 minutes telling me to leave.

This place SUCKS. I am here now. When we walked in. It smelled like cigarettes. Tv doesn't work. There is not a phone in the room. We have a king size bed with only 2 pillows. There is only a very thin bed spread on the bed.. We are on the back side of the hotel and I feel very uncomfortable. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. After traveling 12 hours on my way home from vacation I want to feel alot safer then I do here. I am giving it a 1 out off 5 stars only because there is no 0 stars option

Stayed this past week, was just looking for a bed for a night. Saw all the bad reviews but couldn’t beat the price. Easy check in, room was clean and seemed to be somewhat updated. Have I stayed in better? Yes but I’ve stayed in worse. If you need a bed, shower and clean room, it fits the bill
