Inside or outside... you will see ROACHES at the (LACKING QUALITY) Econo Lodge. Might as well check into a shelter.

Terrible hotel. Worst staff... except for Jody, Valerie, and Anna. I was threatened by a staff member. Her name is Margentina. She screamed that she was going to "come out there and whip my ass" from behind the protective glass. I had no idea that the glass was for guests' PROTECTION FROM MENACING STAFF MEMBERS. There is a porta potty in the parking lot which is used by the drug addicts, who camp out in tents, in the parking lot. These are your neighbors, I guess. Joe also at the front desk, was a two-faced bastard. Very deceptive. Jay the GM was just rude. Yelled at me and defended the employee MARGENTINA- who threatened me. Be prepared to FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE at this DUMP... conveniently located 5 miles from the beach! Then... I get this message in my inbox: Dear Eulie, Thank you for taking the time to complete our online survey regarding your recent stay at our hotel. On behalf of our entire team, I would like to apologize for failing to exceed your expectations which is confusing to say the least. What's strange is the real reason which you left out as to why the hotel refused you service the SECOND time you came back to stay! Eulie, please sir do not portray the hotel like this with your wild comments about everything you said and yet, still wanted to stay again. You didn't complain about the location, the staff and even myself being"tolerable" when we spoke for a few minutes in the office daily! Sincerely, Joe Econolodge 7725690900 Jay and or Joe, First off... address me as Mr. Chambers. We are not friends. Very unprofessional of you. Second, why you opt to respond privately to me is beyond my comprehension and and beyond unprofessional. Stick to the PUBLIC platform within the app for any future correspondence. Thank you. You didn't care to have a dialogue with me face to face when I was in the lobby. You are not entitled to my private spaces. No wonder your front desk agent Steve thought it was ok to jokingly knock on my door after 11pm. You set a poor example. I would have gladly addressed any and all issues at that time. Thank you for the least sincere apology I'm history. I assume that is why you chose to send it secretly, and away from the public. Also, that you for attempting to throw shade and insult me by making vague insinuations. You are further exposed. How dare you? This is what professional customer service looks like to you ? This is why I called you two-faced. You are so subservient and amiable in person. But behind closed doors you are rude and condescending. Please do not continue to harass me privately. Keep any and all dialogue between us in the public arena. We are not friends. Let's stick to the business of your poorly run motel. Also... do something about all the roaches.

I have to admit, I was concerned with my first impression. The front desk was changing shifts when I got there and I heard them saying they hadn't finished cleaning the rooms that were reserved for the day. That ended up being the only issue which wasn't much since I wasn't planning on actually using the room right away. I just wanted to check in and leave some stuff in the room but driving around with it for another hour wasn't a problem. The staff was very friendly. The room was better than I expected. It was very clean and a lot more spacious than I thought. The fridge worked well and there was a microwave but I didn't need to use it. The AC worked very well and kept the room very cold, just how I like it. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and I slept great! The bathroom area was huge. I'm used to the large sink areas but the actual bathroom with the toilet and shower was so spacious that I felt it was too big! I did wish the water pressure got a little harder but it wasn't a problem. The water got hot quickly and stayed hot. The hotel was pretty empty so it was very quiet. First time I stayed at a hotel and never heard anyone outside, above or next door to my room. The surrounding area is pretty quiet looking as well. The pool was closed still due to COVID but I wasn't planning on using it, so I can't rate that. I also checked out before breakfast so I can't rate that either. If I'm in the area and needing a room in the future, I'll definitely come back here.

The coffee machine is dusty and looks like it hasnt been cleaned in months. If you're scared about Covid don't stay here

This is the actual pillows included in the rooms... Aka chicklets
Heather H.

I'm giving it one star, for the great parking spots available... Because this place is empty! We were given 2 Chiclets posing as pillows. When I called the front desk to inform him we will need at least two more, three would be better. The front desk told me he only had one available, AND it would cost us $10 more a night. My brother went to the front desk to show him the tiny pillows, and request extra. He was told it is rule from his manager, so he asked to speak with the manager... He refused to call him. So we asked for a full refund and we are leaving. He then told us only my manager can give full refunds... Ok so once again... Get him on the phone. Again he refused. We understand this isn't a 5 star resort, but it will continue to be empty and go downhill. If the lack of customer service and charging $10 per pillow per night continues. See pillows below. Also notice the picture of the amenities... We can get a crib to use, for free... We can get an entire roll away bed for$10.00 not sure if that would include a pillow.

Better than expected for the only hotel within 25 miles for $100 or less. Breakfast sucks as expected.

Shout out to Cassie, Rosie and Joey with Valet who remembered Bailey's name immediately. We were offered champagne at check in and given a nice map of the grounds. The resort itself is a little on the older side but all the amenities are still well kept. With my IHG status, we were greeted with a nice bottle of wine and some sweets. The room was clean and had a huge dining room and kitchen area. It had all the essentials for a homey and comfortable stay. We loved that there were dog treats and little gift pouches in the reception area. The pool area is big and had pleasant lounge chairs. The gym is missing a trendmill, there are bikes for cardio but not great options. The restaurant we had breakfast at was pretty good. The chicken and waffles was amazing and the bagel sandwich was delicious.

The rooms are a little dated, but clean and comfortable. And, it is a beach resort, so nothing unexpected! The service is outstanding.

The grounds are well maintained and inviting with chairs and lounges, bikes to ride, and beach towels complimentary for hotel guests. Free one car per unit parking available too. Located across the street from a county park with beach access in the quiet south Vero Beach neighborhood. At night, sitting outside, you can hear the waves from the beach. Very relaxing, couple friendly with dog friendly rooms too. The rooms each have their own unique style and colors. Full kitchen with stove, refrigerator and microwave. Smart TV in the living room. Wall unit AC works great, thank goodness. If you want a safe, inviting, quiet escape in a spotlessly clean room, this is the place for you. This is about 1.8 miles from downtown beach resorts, use the bike or drive over but know you can come back to an inviting and comfortable room. Bring your groceries and decompress in old Florida.

I wish…read morethe bedroom had a door to separate it from the living room so when watching tv the person in the bedroom wouldn't hear it. The tv has cable and is a smart Tv. The kitchen had a fridge and freezer, two burner stove, and a microwave. Plates, pots, utensils and glasses are provided. The hotel is extremely clean and well kept. Parking is easy in the attached lot. The pool is beautiful. The hotel is across from the beach. There's a few restaurants in walking distance. The main area of Vero beach with many restaurants is one mile to the north. The hotel provides free bikes for guests. Staff was friendly at check in.

Very quiet area. Everything you need is at the cottage and Heather was great and very accommodating. She respects your privacy. Short walk on the boardwalk to the beach and bam you are in paradise! We went in December. Barely anyone there. Its like having your own private beach! The beach is much wider in this area than northern Vero where the hotels are at and this beach is a shell hunters paradise. If you want a quiet getaway at a reasonable price with a nice big beach then I highly recommend you come here. Totally worth it!

Heather was outstanding in answering our questions before and after we booked, and welcomed us immediately upon arrival. With only 4 cottages, this place is quiet and cozy, and perfectly located. Cottage 4 is closest to the beach, but I don't believe there is much of an actual view. I could be wrong. We were in Cottage 1 which is closest to the road, but hidden behind shrubbery for peace and tranquility, and offers the most privacy away from the other cottages. Our cottage had absolutely everything we needed - plates, utensils, plastic wrap, seasonings, electric lighter for barbecuing, bowls, pitchers, lots of books, extra light bulbs and toilet paper, a tea kettle, microwave, dishwasher, stove, oven, full sized fridge, and a hairdryer in the bathroom. Even the beach towels, chairs, and umbrella were of nice quality and clean. We ordered Uber each time we wanted to go in to downtown Orchid Island and typically paid about $7 each way. Uber doesn't understand the exact address so just tell your driver you're at the corner of Ocean and Sea Gull when he/she contacts you. Overall, this has been a truly pleasurable long weekend at Seahorse. We are still here with two more nights to go, and loving every minute of it!

It may be hard to believe but the first room they gave us was even worse than this one. Dirty walls, tore up furniture, and a moldy wet stench and feel to the room.

The only reason we stayed was because it was very late and we were absolutely exhausted, but I swear I will never stay here ever again in life. $88 To stay in filth. Please Please Please avoid this place by all means or ask to see a room before you go through with paying for one here. This app isn't letting me add pictures for whatever reason but I have photos added on google reviews. Y'all the smoke detector doesn't even work. Idk how this place is getting through the health department. Somebody's screwing somebody bc there's no way this place looks abandoned and is still open for public use. The worst place I've ever stayed at in my entire life.

AND i was really surprised & chuckled at the fact that our room keys were actual metal keys & not key cards. they do push the "rustic charm" to the limit, but as long as i have a comfortable bed, a place to shower, sh*t & shave, i'm good, not on vacay to hang out in a hotel room all day, i'm there to experience the area. ***the only complaint i have is that this place considers itself a NON SMOKING RESORT, but puts ashtrays on all the tables outside of the rooms, so you're always walking through the stink of cigarettes someplace on the property
