I have stayed at the Econolodge on Apalachee Parkway several times due to its convenient location for work and nearby restaurants and parks. However, my recent stay during Hurricane Helen was a major disappointment.
Despite the motel advertising that it had a generator, I learned upon check-in that this was not the case. Additionally, I was surprised to find that an extra $50 was held for each room as a deposit, even though I had already paid for the rooms through Expedia.
While the motel was packed and there was minimal noise, we were fortunate to avoid power outages as Hurricane Helen passed over our area with minimal damage. However, the lack of a generator was a significant oversight, especially given the circumstances.
The rooms themselves also require more investment. The bathroom lights and exhaust fan buzzed loudly, forcing me to turn them off completely. The bathroom drawers were not installed properly, and only one of the two rooms had a coffee maker.
Due to these issues, I will not be booking this motel again for emergency situations like hurricanes. I hope that the management will take these concerns into consideration and make the necessary improvements to provide a better experience for future guests.

The interior of the rooms is much nicer than the 1960s motel look of the exterior. It is quite clean, although we did encounter 1 cockroach in the bathroom one night.
The staff is polite and the location is very near the Capitol, downtown, and not far from the universities.

A few really good restaurants were close to the hotel. Easy to get to from the airport and universities.

Love this retro vibe of this hotel. Retro and yet nicely updated with nice clean bathroom. Close to State Capitol and fun restaurants
