Hotel Econo Lodge Houston (Houston, USA)

Upon approaching the hotel, you might be turned off. But once you get up to your room you may find it surprisingly decent and updated. The bathroom towels are white, the bed is large, and the air conditioning is tops.

If you are in the area, this is a great place to stay as it is so cheap. You can't beat the price for what you get. It's not a four or five star hotel, but you get what you pay for.

The hotel room furnishings are more than enough. With a couple of chairs, desk, dresser, loveseat and more, you don't need anything else.

This is one big mess! In order to get to the hotel, you have to turn onto a decrepit road filled with potholes, that are a pretty good size. You actually need a 4-wheel drive for rough terrain to get to the hotel location. The streets in the area are all torn up as well and muddy.

The hotel breakfast is as basic as you can get. You have a choice between two kinds of cereal, two kinds of pastry, bread, orange juice and coffee. On the other hand, for the price you pay for accommodations, you can't complain too much. There are restaurants in the area where you can get a much better breakfast.

Don't be surprised if you encounter a cigarette smell in your hotel room. You may also find mildew and some questionable items in the room hidden in places like under the mattress. Dusty furniture and poor front desk service may also be part of your hotel experience.
