I still feel dirty thinking about this place. I suggest camping as a cleaner option!

I went on vacation to see my fiance. I am from texas, and he is stationed at Fort Drum. I chose this hotel only due to the price and the way they presented the hotel. From what I gathered from looking at the pictures, I thought it would be nice and it would be worth the price. Little did I... More

We came to Watertown on a shopping trip and had stayed in other Econo Lodges that we were happy with. This, however, is the worst hotel that we ever stayed at. It was old, filthy, run down and lacked any sign of maintenance. The carpets and bed spread were stained. We pulled the comforter off our bed and dumped it... More

This is a terrible hotel. We got there long enough to see how dirty it was, and to see questionable characters loitering around the actual rooms, which are half a block back from the office (the office is in a separate building on the street). We had a family emergency and had to leave immediately, so while on the road,... More

My two teen children and myself just spent 3 nights at this hotel on a Back to School shopping trip. I have stayed here twice previously in 2007. Reading recent reviews I took a chance and stayed again for the price and indoor pool. We are budget travellers' and our expectations are such. We stayed in Room 108 and had... More

I booked this hotel through Travelocity only because there were no other hotels available in Watertown for the night I wanted to stay. First, the hotel website gave the impression it was a quality hotel - wrong, the pictures were probably taken years ago and are not representative of what we encountered. I had trouble finding the office because it... More

Had booked one night for a shopping trip. Good rate but hotel room was dirty. Bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned and the sheets on the bed were dirty. Complained at the front desk and we were given another room which was cleaner. Hotel is run down, wouldn't stay here again.

This hotel is right on a main street in Watertown so the location is nice. The office is situated near the road and then the actual hotel (which is two buildings) is down the road a little ways. My husband and I stayed here two nights the weekend of July 4th. (The 2nd and 3rd of July). The first night... More

We went to Watertown for a family gathering. In the past we have stayed at other Econo Lodge locations,so we chose to do it again. Huge mistake this facility was filthy. I actually was afraid of bed bugs or other bugs crawling on me because of the lack of sanitation. Please do not stay there. The tub was dirty. It... More

Unlike some other reviews, this was by far not the worst hotel ever. It's an ECONO Lodge, and so it's just what we expected: the necessities. The room was clean, not musty smelling, and the worst thing I could say is that the alarm didn't work. The bed was clean and comfortable. TV was fine, even had a little frig.... More
