I have stayed at the Quality Inn and the Holiday Inn in Live Oak, all right near this hotel. I stay at one of those every year around the 4th of July. Those were much better than Econo Lodge. I stayed At Econo Lodge because they allowed a pet I had to bring with me this year. The staff was nice but the hotel needs some major updates. The handles for the shower were falling off when using them sometimes, the vent fan had a huge hole in it and tons of dust, the toilet paper when we checked in was more than half way gone versus having a fresh, unused roll on there. The hotel was very loud at night because there was a construction crew staying there on our side of the hotel. Probably 15-20 guys. They took up a few parking spots near our room because they'd have tables and coolers out there. One of them must have been drunk because he was banging on our door at midnight thinking it was his room. The noise and the partying from this crew is what led us to leave a day earlier and just eat the last days' rate. You would think someone from the hotel staff would notice this but they did not. I will not stay there again and will look elsewhere for pet friendly places, maybe a vacation rental. I booked this knowing it was just a "place to sleep" considering we are at the river through the days, but I would dread having to go back there in the evening.
