My car was stolen with important paperwork in it. Had to get a rental. needed a motel. paid around $230 around 12 a.m ahead because last 2 rooms was posted. Upon arrival plenty of rooms were available. Noticed, trash, toys outside and then smell inside the office, was told partial payment only. decided to stay. now he refused Service animal that detects when sugar is low. after showing 3 tags of shots, registration and service animal tag. He wanted paperwork, but only after I said it was in my stollen car. This motel manager is deceiving and dishonest. He was allowed to mistreat a disabled woman and her dog and keep the entire payment. We slept in the Car in that heat for 3 days running gas for air conditioning. Had to go back to the hospital for swelling endema. What we went through was hell.

I Shouldn't have to post the videos of him cursing at me to get national attention over $230

Expedia bots called him. The police couldn't help they said its civil.

Expedia is a huge company and thought would treat customers much better than this.

I get it, it’s a whistle-stop hotel stay off the I95 for about $112. The hotel lobby as well as our room had the overpowering odour of mothballs. To the point that we woke up at 4:30 am to leave after a 14hr driving day because everyone felt ill. Not sure if it’s a tactic to keep pests at bay or if it’s something else but it’s not acceptable. Combine with the proximity to the adjacent local highway and travellers need think hard about how much sleep they want/need.

It should be noted some of the chemicals in mothballs can cause reversible health effects that include headaches, nausea, eye and nose irritation and coughing, all of which with the exception of nausea we all experienced.

Overall it was good. The only problem i had was the free continental breakfast was awful. It was muffins from a box, toast and only two kinds of cereal. The milk said it was one day past expiration but thats not all that uncommon. They really didnt try with the breakfast

Upon check-in which was about 1030pm, I was advised that I had a smoking room and that I could up grade to a non smoking room for very little cost. The clerk there made me wait while he fidded on the computer in front of him. After a few minutes I told him that it was late, I was really tired and had to use the rest room, so never mind just give me what I alteady had reservations for. He told me not to go and that for just nine dollars I could upgrade to a non smking room with two beds. I paid him the addional cost and he gave me the room key. After checking out the location of the room I parked my car and went inside to inspect the room. After that I went back to my car for my luggage. My cell phone rang and upon answering it, it was the hotel clerk. He requested additional money from me. He said that the room would cost me more than he anticipated. It is after 11pm at night now. He wanted me to come back into his office and pay the money. I explained to him that what he was asking was wrong, bad business and unsafe. He was raising his voice in anger. He told me he works 24hrs around the clock. He said that he was not the one responsible for the short cash. I told him it was poor business practices to change the price the way he was doing. I complained about the treatment that I was receiving, about the service and that if he continued a bad review would follow. I told him, I would pay the additional money of now $15 during the morning hours when things were safer.

Poor Customer Service

The staff is unprofessional. I called the hotel to cancel a reservation and spoke with someone who was very rude and hung up on me multiple times. I was treated like I was bothering them by just calling. When I finally reached a person willing to assist me it was too late to cancel or reschedule. If I had stayed at the hotel, the customer service I received over the phone leads me to suspect my stay wouldn't have been much better.

We asked for a non smoking room. We were on the second floor. When we got there there was a family in the room next to us, kids screaming and man hanging over balcony with a cigeratte in his mouth. I spoke and he look at me like \"who are you looking at\". We went to dinner and came back and didn't see him again. My husband has a sensitive nose and definitely smelled smoke. Overall room was nice, but if you can't deal with smoke, they need a wing just for non smokers. Not really any good restaurants around, you have to drive quite a distance and coffee in the am was like dirty water. Would not stay here again. Sorry.

The only complaint we have is that access to the motel is restricted from the other side of the highway due to the concrete median. We had to pass the motel, turn into gas station and enter the highway before turning into the motel parking lot. It was difficult due to heavy traffic and being right at the traffic lights.

Do not waste your time or money

We arrived at econolodge and had accidentally booked a smoking room. We were willing to put up with the overbearing smoke smell as it was our mistake, but we did not stay more than a half hour. Never in my life have i seen a dirtier hotel. Both the blankets and sheets were covered in stains. There was brown, poop-like substance stuck to the wall. Wheh we closed the door there was some sort of yellow grime all over the wall behind it. I couldnt even bring myself to sit on the bed. It was so poorly lit, i am assuming to hide the horrors of the room itself. When we went to the front and asked for a refund the owner lied to us and said hotels.com could refund us, only when they requested our refund he refused stating that there was nothing wrong with the room. Terrible service all around. Sketchiest most disgusting hotel ive ever seen. I truly do not believe the blankets or sheets are changed regularly. It literally looked and smelled like a nightmare.

I requested a non-smoking room. The first room that I was given reeked of smoke! I went back to get a second room and the girl at the front desk gave me a hard time. I did finally get a second room and it was better. However the bedspread and the blankets had burn marks in them; the tub was disgustingly stained, and I would not even Consider taking a bath in it; The towels were so thin that I might as well have been using paper towels to dry off; the air vent/fan in the bathroom was hanging down from the ceiling. The good thing that I noticed was I had hot water for a shower, and it did not fluctuate from hot to cold as happens in many motels.

Very nice motel at an inexpensive price. The room was very large as was the bed. Nice cable tv and a number of chairs, desk and tables to use as well as a dresser. Air conditioning got the room cool quickly. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in the area.

The only 2 negatives I have is that the toilet sometimes wanted to keep running and I had to lift the lid and re-position the flapper and if you were coming up Rt 1 (Away from I-95) you could not make a left into the motel. You have to go up Rt 1 and make a u-turn which requires you to go into a service station. Since there is a traffic light right in front of the motel the traffic backs up to this service station and if it's morning or evening rush hour you have to wait a bit to get out.

The property was undergoing renovations and after getting in from the road at 1:30am I was woken up at 7am with hammering and drilling all around my room. I called the front desk and complained but they told me they had no control over when the contractors start working.
Well, people only go to Econ Lodge to sleep, so there should be no excuses about not letting them sleep.
If you are going to wake people up at 7am, then you need to post that and make it clear when people book. Otherwise shut down the motel during renovations!
