Econo Lodge Raleigh near Walnut Creek Amphitheatre

Extreme quiet.

I have never stayed in such a run down hotel, even at only $60 a night. I don't know how this building is up to code, when you walk into the lobby it looks like everything is falling apart. When I arrived to check in nobody was there but there was a note saying to call a phone number. I called and the man who answered said he would be there in 5 minutes, it was most like 20. The room was missing half its lightbulbs, the soaps and shampoos were already opened and half empty, the bed was a horrible old spring mattress with no give. The other guests were very loud in the hallway all night, taking and shouting. Even when my door was locked and bolted it was so loose that when anyone walked by through I could hear it moving and swinging. The hotel locked its lobby doors at 11:00PM and once again we had to call someone to open them late at night. I strongly do not recommend staying here.

I tried to check in, unfortunately did not have the extra $100 for a deposit and the room was already paid for. Was told I will not get my money back as they do not refund if you don't use your stay. It's 20 degrees tonight and it is going to be a difficult night. I am a member of choice hotels with enough points for a free stay but still couldn't cover the deposit to night. Someone should look into this and reach out. Expedia could not cancel the reservation because it is in process, of course because I can't check in. Kept calling Expedia and kept getting disconnected. Tough night but hopefully will make it through.

It served the purpose...

Take this motel off your list of recommendations. Room 131 had the smoke detector removed and plastic grocery bags on the sprinklers Fridge leaked and 2 dead reaches. Floor sticky ad hell.

Was there for an event. Everything was great until the day of checkout. Breakfast was not up to par. No hot water, no juices, and no milk for the cereal. They definitely are in need of so e up grades far as the continental breakfast.

- active fatal car crash at entrance of parking lot on arrival. had to find an alternate entrance through neighboring business - clerk laying on chair in front office when I arrived - notified on arrival of a company policy requiring a $100 deposit for all rooms. This was not communicated anywhere on Hotels.com site or booking. - no hvac on in common areas or room i was assigned, creating a musty, stuffing feel to the air - Primary issue was watching multiple roaches scurry across floor, bed, and wall when we turned on room lights. A few waited for photo opportunity.

The staff was very helpful and polite. I could check-in earlier early with know problem. I just hope I get my deposit of 100.00 dollars back on my card.

Everything was pretty much average they don’t serve breakfast here and charge an additional 100 but room was clean and secured. If you look for somewhere clean and budget friendly to lay your head this the place for you

We arrived on Thursday evening, no one was at the front desk. Had to ring a bell that was on the counter with a note with a phone number to call if we needed assistance. After checking in, we went to our room. It was okay. Next morning we went to the lobby for the continental breakfast. There were only 3 cups for juice. No napkins. The juice machine would not work. There were 4 slices of bread in the container, three bagels in the other contain, and two containers of yogert in the refrigerator and two pitchers half empty. There was coffee, only two or three packages of sugar. An attendant finally came into the lounge and I told him the juice machine would only dispense water. The second day we went earlier for the breakfast,. There was less available that day. On the second day we were there, I had taken a shower and the shower curtain would not stay open so the water didn't run out into the floor. I went to use the wall hair dryer and three cockroaches came out of the wall unit.. I killed one of them with my hair brush. The other two scurried back into the wall unit. I put the one I killed in a tissue. On Sunday when we checked out, I gave the tissue to the clerk at the counter. He wasn't too concerned about it. saying that things can happen. Wanted to know if I had told someone when I first saw them, I told him no because there was never anyone at the lobby counter to tell. I told him I would never stay in his hotel again and that they needed to clean..

the “now open” sign made us think this place would be nice and updated instead our sink had a nice towel placed underneath for the leak apparently they’re aware of.

Few maintenance problems and cleanliness

The hotel was clean l. However the front desk person was not the most welcoming and the breakfast was very minimal. The beds are also not that comfortable.

The place had a bad smell and there was hair with blood on the floor.

Check in was quick and efficient. It looks like the place was recently renovated - there was new carpet on the floor and the room had fresh, clean paint on the walls. The toilet seat was loose but I was able to tighten it by hand. Lots of channels to watch on tv and the building was quiet. It is close to a major road so light sleepers might want to get a room to the left side away from the road. It wasn't an issue for me. There was a food truck parked outside that has great, authentic food from South America at good prices - check them out!

Quick stay on our journey through Raleigh. Staff were very helpful and congenial. They were able to accommodate a last minute issue which was very appreciated. Rooms were clean and convenient for us.

Never had room service in a week, dirty place

Our stay was very pleasant. Staff was polite, reserving the room was very easy. No hassle upon arrival. The door to the room had spacing, being able to see shadows when they walk by. Breakfast was nice to have. Waffles, juice, yogurt and coffee.

A last option hotel, which it was. Lobby smelled of sewage. The safe and fridge didn’t work. The dresser drawers kept opening up into the walkway. Typical things you’d expect from a last option hotel

Needs a groundskeeper and needs some better mattress. It’s a cheap place to stay close enough from costal creek arena
