Econo Lodge Cloverdale Hotel - Page 1

This is bare-bones lodging, when cost is the only consideration. Old, seedy, poorly maintained. My bed was hard and uncomfortable, and I got awakened at 6 am on a Sunday by a Harley outside my door. The TV was a vintage 1980 Zenith, with lousy reception on all 10 channels. The free breakfast was one of the most minimalist you'll find--toast or packaged Danish from the store. It's convenient to DePauw, a 15-minute drive, and it's cheap. But I doubt there are many repeat customers.

We checked out within 20 min. of seeing room. Towels had stains, headboard had blood stains on it, pillows were a dark brown instead of white, I asked for Lysol or disinfectant and housekeeper said they don't have any, they don't use it. Hotel staff was very nice,but rooms were disgusting. Microwave still had food in it, beds had huge stains on them. The owner of this hotel should be held accountable by the state board of health. Pay a few more dollars and stay somewhere safe and clean.

My bad experience was probably due to that particular motel switching over to another owner and it seemed that the facilities had not been maintained well for a while. The place may not even be a Ramada anymore.
