Econo Lodge Douglassville-Pottstown

Through Orbitz, it was less than $100, and it was spacious, clean, had a fridge and microwave

Think twice. On the good side: the bed was comfortable, the check in clerk was nice, and the shower was hot. The tub and toilet seat were patched, the upholstered ottoman was ripped, the desk chair was worn out, the roach was a roach, the bathroom smelled like a cat, people slept in their car right outside our room, and the tv couldn’t pick up a signal

The room was awful. There was scribbling on the lamp shade, on the walls, and on the heater. The walls and ceiling had chipped and peeling paint. There was a hole and splintering in the inside bathroom door. Bathroom register was rusted and bent. The bathtub had streaks of white paint, I assume to cover rust streaks or damage. The toilet paper holder was missing. The draperies were held together in the center with chip clips and were not on the rod correctly. When I tried to open the draperies, the entire rod fell on my head and shoulder. We tried to put it back up, but the bracket would not work, so we propped it on top of it. I suspect that was how it was originally, which is why it fell on me.The floor was dirty and the table was smeared with food. A drawer pull had pulled out and was laying on top of the dresser. One of the pillowcases had red letters drawn on it with marker. There were no cups on the sink, no coffeemaker in the room. Coffee was available in the lobby, if someone was around to make it. The newspapers provided were over a week old and never changed in the three days of our stay. There were no vending machines, and since the place is on a one way divided highway, getting to a store or restaurant meant driving until you find a uturn marking and driving the whole way back. The motel is to the left of another motel and an adult book store/entertainment place. This is not a motel I would ever stay at again. Pictures available upon request of room damage.
