Econo Lodge

First, I'm almost to the room and the money for the room comes out of my bank account. I'm fine with that. I already paid. So I thought. Get to the hotel, the lady tells me that it didn't take the money out of my account and I am showing her my bank information saying that it actually did take it out of my account, but she started yelling at me in front of other customers and telling me if I didn't pay, I couldn't stay. So I had almost enough left in my bank to pay her again, but also had to give her the 20 in my pocket that I intended to leave for the church I was visiting the next day. I needed a place to stay, so I had to pay it. So after paying double and literally have 17 dollars left in my account (thank God I brought credit cards with me because this hotel would have literally left me stranded five hours from home if it were up to them), I get to my room that smells entirely of ****. Disgusting. I got on the phone with choice hotels who gave me 250 points for my trouble; I mean, thanks, but doesn't get me home or give me back my 130 dollars. Wasn't their fault anyway. Choice Hotels is actually pretty great. I just didn't know who else to call or how to take care of this (I will be on the phone with my bank when they re-open). Try to go to sleep at this point, but the neighbors wanted to bang around on I don't know what the entire night, so sleep wasn't great. Wake up the next day, my son goes, what's that? There's an outlet with my blanket laying literally almost right on top of it that doesn't have a plate on it. So there's just a bare outlet that could have caught on fire and fried me in my sleep. I have stayed at this hotel twice before and didn't really have any problems other than the bath not working the last time I stayed. The previous two times I stayed, they only charged me once. So obviously I wasn't expecting to be charged twice. I brought this to the attention of the lady working in the morning; along with the outlet that was bare and she got really nasty with me as well. I tried very hard to be nice about it. These people are mean, rude and CHARGE YOU TWICE. Thank God I didn't catch on fire and burn up in my sleep. I'd like to have my money back. Place wasn't worth 20 dollars let alone 260! Miserable stay. Miserable people working there. God forgive me, but it's the truth. Looks like I'll have to find another place to stay when I'm down there for church.

STAY AWAY! There is not one good thing that I can honestly say about our room. Here's just some of the issues. The spread on one of the beds in a non smoking room had a cigarette burn in it. The floor lamp had the switch broken off and wasn't even plugged in, making it a very dark room. The mini fridge had the sheathing pulled from near the plug exposing the individual wires. The cleaning crew did a horrible job of cleaning the bathroom. Wife took a shower and when she came out afterwards, there was a big glob of hair, not hers, on her clothes. Frankly, with all of those issues, they should have paid us to stay there. If I could give less than a one rating I would!

The daytime I really didn't meet the people working on the property but the two gentlemen showed great customer service skills and caring attitude to each and every guest
