Econo Lodge Cranston - Providence

Do not recommend This was not the worst motel I’ve stayed at but not great. The exterior is a lot more attractive than the rooms. The main issue being the metal bed frames protrudes out from the bed and about 10 seconds into our stay I injured myself. We walked in and since it was during a heatwave I went to turn the air conditioner on and boom. Not a great way to start a trip. My daughter and I ended up hanging our neck pillows on the bars so it wouldn’t happen again. Then to add insult to injury I went to jump in the shower and get the blood off my leg and the shower was really dirty. They offer shampoo and body wash but no conditioner. Then midday when we came back to the room to rest before dinner there was no resting. There was construction next to our room that no one informed us about. Still looking for affordable options for trips since my daughter will be attending University in Providence but we will not be returning to this location.

I made a reservation for a non-smoking room. The room had a non-smoking sign, but the smell was unbearable. I have respiratory problems. It was impossible to sleep because the air conditioning was making such a noise that it sounded like a tractor. I stayed there on a very hot day, with 97 degrees. Since I had made a reservation for two nights, I requested a room change. I never got a response. What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend was the opposite. Two sleepless nights because the air conditioning in the room was making an abnormal noise. And the room smelled terrible. The bathroom door wouldn't close. Part of the doorknob was missing. For the price charged, it should have followed the Econologe chain's standards. However, my complaint at the front desk was completely ignored. My access cards stopped working during the day, even though I had paid for two nights. I had to request activation of the cars again after the first day.

Great place to stay at

My stay was disrupted by several incidents. Employees were speaking loudly in the parking lot in a foreign language. Despite our "Do Not Disturb" sign, one of them knocked very forcefully on our door, abruptly waking me up. I also noticed rodents in the parking lot during the night. The price was reasonable, but these inconveniences unfortunately affected my experience. I would appreciate if the establishment could address these issues to improve comfort for future guests.

The smoke detector beeped the entire stay tried to call the front desk to ask for help and found out the phone was broken and disconnected. Couldn’t sleep due to noise of smoke detector

My room was remodeled, had a nice overnight stay, was there to go to a Tulip farm, beaches in close proximity as well. The mall across the street was upscale only open 10-8.
