What diners say — our read

The inspection says one thing about this kitchen, and a minority of reviewers say another. Cleanliness is the sore point: those reviews average 1.2. Front-of-house is the next most common subject, in 43% of reviews (averaging 2.1).

Of the 18 rated reviews, 4 sit at four stars or better and 13 at two or below. What it costs shows up in 19% of reviews as well, averaging 2.7. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 1, the most frequently given rating (11 reviews).

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (99/100), 1 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. DBPR last walked in on February 27, 2026. Ranked against Osceola County, it is safer than 91% of the restaurants we score. The citations behind that grade include storage & handling of clean equipment and utensils.

If speed of service is what you care about, the reviews are the better guide here; if it is the kitchen, the grade is. Everything above is computed from the 21 reviews reproduced below.

    Save your time...HORRIBLE experience. Ugh. Stood there for 3 weeks awaiting for an apartment approval. Customer service welcomed me with a dry, unprofessional behavior and so did an infestation of German roaches. Every generation appeared on the last night, but saw a few throughout different rooms. Requested another room with no success. No understanding whatsoever! I was told the very next day that I was no longer welcomed nor book another reservation because of my verbal complaint. Now, I'm warning EVERYBODY.

    I arrived around 9-10am after driving 22 hours, desperate for a few hours of sleep. Every hotel wanted a full night’s rate for just a few hours, which already felt unfair. At Econo Lodge I explained I’d been driving 22 hours, was extremely exhausted, and couldn’t wait until their 3pm check-in. Issues started immediately: 1. *Unsafe environment*: The lobby completely reeked of marijuana. I don’t judge personal use, but a business conducting transactions while high is unprofessional and unsafe. 2. *Incoherent staff*: The clerk seemed impaired — couldn’t follow conversation, made me repeat myself constantly, and was “only half there.” 3. *Deposit scam attempt*: I begged not to pay a full night for a few hours. He then demanded a $75 “deposit.” The receipt he gave me didn’t mention a deposit at all — just the charge. When I asked him to note it was a deposit, he refused and said “they’ll know in the morning.” I even explained that I had been scammed before by hotels keeping “deposits” with no receipt. I can’t afford to lose $75. 4. *Contradictory policy*: The form he wanted me to sign said a $50 deposit is required. When I asked why he was charging $75 if policy is $50, he got angry. 5. *Refused accountability*: He refused to initial that the $75 was a deposit, saying “that’s not how it works.” He finally refunded me when I wouldn’t back down, thank God. But after 22 hours on the road, to be treated like this was horrible and predatory. Proverbs 11:1 says “The Lord detests…

    This place is really a terrible, horrible, bad condition and all room smells horrible and the have all types of bug, Cockroaches, unfriendly staff, and they change the price whenever they feel like it. I don't recommend it.

    Driving in this sweltering heat almost drained me, but I safely made it. I entered the lobby/breakfast area and informed the front desk attendant of my reservation. There was no warm welcome. I was met with a serious demeanor as the attendant gave directions to my room and handed me the parking pass and card key. The room I was given was large with cool A/C. There was a large king size bed, a large sofa, in-room fridge, microwave, smallnflat TV (no cable), a large table, and a few drawers for storage. Aside from the complimentary breakfast (which I hardly attended) and the large outdoor pool on the side of the building, the hotel doesn't offer many amenities. On-site laundry is available, though a few machine were out of order. I would say I had a fairly good stay at Econo Lodge. I was able to relax in my room, explore the town to shop and dine, and return to the premises feeling safe. There were only a couple of things I didn't like about the room, such as the weak water pressure in the shower and the TV constantly losing connection.

    Disgusting place very old and dirty. Needs to be shut down. Broken. Window. Broken shower bed. Broken wall you can see outside.

  • June 5, 2026

    Hidden fees, unclean rooms, snippy staff, and a front office that seems to be the only building to receive any sort of update in the last 20 years. Find a different hotel.

    The worst experience we’ve ever had at a “hotel/motel” in our lives. The place was DISGUSTING, filthy and full of cockroaches. We killed more than 10 cockroaches in less than 10 minutes, and they just kept coming out. HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING, and they refused to refund our money. Absolutely unacceptable and beyond disappointing. We had to leave in the middle of the night while traveling with a baby under 1 year old. The next day, we called to speak with the “Manager”, and she laughed in our faces while refusing to refund us. Honestly, what can you expect from a place that filthy and disgusting? Clearly, the people running it are just as nasty as the place itself. Simple. And we wouldn’t even give this place a single star, we only had to select one in order to be able to leave this review and let others know what we went through.

    So many ladies around here

    How could they fold this and say it’s clean? Imagine this was in the washer with all the clean towels? Dirty right? Imagine you just notice this dirty towel after taking a bath? You have no choice right? The management is filthy!
