Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Maingate Central

I would strongly advise against staying at the Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Maingate Central. This was by far the worst accommodation we had during our stay in Florida this month. The check-in staff was friendly, but I was unpleasantly surprised by a higher price than what I had booked via Trip.com. Apparently, there was an additional Covid-19 surcharge, which I find quite outdated. The property itself is in a state of severe disrepair and poor maintenance. The beds were uncomfortable, creaked when lying down, and provided little rest. I read a review mentioning cockroaches, and while I’m not entirely sure if that’s true, I did notice something crawling across the ceiling during the night that could very well have been one. The towels were dirty, and there were tattered bedspreads on the bed — definitely not professional. Breakfast is served from 6:00 to 8:30 AM, which is far too early for anyone on vacation with a family. The room was reasonably clean, but overall, this is not a place I would recommend to anyone looking for more than just a simple place to sleep. On a positive note, the staff during check-out was very friendly, which was a nice touch after such a disappointing stay.

It was ok under the circumstances I was in that moment

Bed broken room dirty

Best service in town

It was a nice hotel

Upon checking in I was made to pay a fifty dollar deposit that I still have yet to receive back and it's been 3 days since I left the hotel. The hotel room was filthy it looked like someone had just been there and left there was stuff in the fridge stuff on the towels and the beds were horrible. It felt like u were laying on a piece of chain link fence it was horrible. The hotel staff was unpleasant and as a gold member to choice rewards I thought they would of been alot more accomadating.
