Econo Lodge

We were traveling through Franklin for a night to attend a memorial service the next day and booked the Econo Lodge. At $80 a night, it seemed reasonable for the area. Unfortunately, the experience was far from acceptable. When we arrived, the surrounding area already felt chaotic—people were partying at the gas station across the street, even climbing on cars and blasting music. At the hotel itself, the property was in terrible condition. The stairs were crumbling, concrete broken, and it was obvious that some people were living there long-term, with clothes hanging over the railings. The overall atmosphere felt unsafe. Once we checked in, we went to our room only to find it completely uncleaned—the bed was unmade, there were dirty towels left behind, trash in the bins, and even urine still in the toilet. Outside the room, trash was scattered around as well. It genuinely looked as if housekeeping had just walked off the job. The one positive was the front desk clerk—he was very kind and understanding. After we explained the situation, he immediately refunded our money with no issue. We appreciated his professionalism, but ultimately felt so uncomfortable and unsafe that we decided to leave and drive 45 minutes to another hotel instead at 1030 pm. This was the craziest thing I’ve seen in a while lol

The room was disgustingly filthy. The floor had not been cleaned. The bathroom tub was filthy. Paint was peeling off the door. There was no rod in the closet to hang anything (or hangers). There was no cord for the phone.

Nice staff, but bugs The staff is absolutely wonderful! The three roaches I killed and the two I missed, not so much. The mattress was not comfortable for me at all, but everybody is different about what kind of mattress they like. The accessible room is adequate for me to get around in and the tub has good grab rails for me. Horizontal and vertical, so bonus points there. All grab rails on the wall for the toilet and tub were very sturdy. No shower chair is available, so make sure you have arrangements for that.
