Econo Lodge (2nd worst in CR) (and on Dirtiest Hotels list)
Econo Lodge received very low scores in upkeep and value in the CR survey, as well as less-than-satisfactory scores in comfort and service. Though on the JD Power survey, it received an “about average” rating in most categories. Last year, the Newark Airport, N.J. location also landed on TripAdvisor’s “America’s Dirtiest Hotels” list. A couple who stayed there complained of mold and stains on the carpet, “something sticky on the comforter,” and bug bites.
