Now, after having stayed at Econo Lodge Garner NC, I would not ever stay there again, because there are other hotels - notably Wingate by Wyndham - which are very close by to the Econo Lodge, but much nicer. Econo Lodge was clean enough but clearly really old, and the A/C unit was the loudest I've EVER heard in any hotel. The breakfast was, seriously, a joke: Twinkies? Please. I was in Garner for a visit with family in Raleigh, and the last time there, I stayed at an eclectic independent hotel, The Longleaf, which was very nice but very overpriced, in my opinion. So this time I purposely looked for hotels a bit farther from the downtown Raleigh area where my family lives. My sister and my nephew both expressed concern about the environment around the Econo Lodge, and strongly hinted I should choose some other hotel, whether in Garner or close by, that is better and feels safer. Now I know I could get the Wingate there for not much more per night, definitely will look at that next time.

There are no elevators and keep in mind the property only has outside stairs and outside doors. We were okay the whole time with everything but a homeless person approached us practically right outside the building. Added security and making it more modern would be best.

The night time clerk actually gave my room and key access to someone else. So at three o'clock in the morning three men busted into my room (I was traveling alone). Thankfully, the men left and I called the clerk who told me the mixup. This could have went really bad but thank goodness it didn't.

Our first room had a broken bed frame on the couch. We were then moved to another room. The hostess was very kind and he provided awesome hospitality. The rooms felt outdated and I could see cracks and holes in the restroom wall, which made us feel uneasy.
