Here are the reasons for my 1-star rating:
- Staircase felt a little bumpy and unsafe to walk on
- Room was extremely warm; food particles were scattered throughout the floor. Bathroom counter seemed very outdated and the caulk/sealant was very evident.
- Toilet was letting on one side every time it was flushed
- Barely any hot water in the shower
- I asked the front desk receptionist if there is a Do Not Disturb sign to adhere to the outside of door; he just gave me a handful of towels and soap? I told him I did not see any room service for the duration of the stay.
- My wife and I went to the Beltline to explore on Friday 06/19 for most of the day; when we got back to the room, we noticed bedding was changed and her belongings were missing. Went to the front desk and they had no idea what happened. They checked with the housekeeper and apparently this person took my wife’s belongings and put them in a trash bag, along with other people’s trash…thinking we checked out. Owners of hotel mentioned the housekeeper did not speak English so they could not communicate with her properly. My wife’s belongings were found but they were all jumbled up; I noticed my sandals were taken and could not be found.

I didn't bother to stay here. I arrived at the property and the grounds weren't well kept and there was an odor.

That made me decide to view the room before completing my booking. I viewed the room and it smelled and looked nasty. From the bed to the walls.

No microwave, table, chair or light's. One lamp. The room was so unsettling. I declined housekeeping services and was told my son and i had to check out, the best thing that happened there. False advertising because the pictures gotta be from a different hotel. Charging way to much to take a suitcase full of bed bugs and roaches. I will never look this direction again.

After paying by phone they required a 50 dollar deposit which I never had to do . They should have paid me to stay there oh and don’t let me forget that I could not sleep due to thinking my vehicle was going to get broken into, no parking to accommodate your stay.

The advertising and advance photos and information did not fit the actual facility and condition. It appears they had just recently changed management or were lacking in training of the hospitality industry standards. I assign some blame for this to the Expedia site and how it vets and monitors the sites that it lists. Do people actually ever go out to these places?

The ice bucket was dirty, the stopper for the sink was missing, only one soap was given. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked well and the shower was good. I did not feel safe at this location because of the disrepair and lack of customers. The owner was polite.

In the battle of Internet vs Reality, Reality won out here. I rolled the dice and got craps. The room looks almost nothing like the photos. Missing are the dirty walls, chipped ceiling and a door that's seen better days, oh and not to mention the holes in the curtain and the dirty baseboards. On the plus side the bed wasn't horrible the toilet flushed and the water pressure was so-so. Best of all I didn't see bugs of any type in the room. So basically you see 2 stars under $100 a night and that's exactly what you get. The photos are not completely the truth here. Take it or leave it if your on a budget.

This is one of the worste hotels I've ever had the displeasure of staying in. I'll give the highlights: when a car full of men with automatic weapons started spraying the parking lot with bullets, the woman running the front desk at the time attempted to lock myself and another paying guest out of the entry room where we sought shelter. Her reasoning was \"that's not my problem, you stay outside\" to that I checked out and vowed of I ever saw her on the street id give her the same treatment and see how she felt about being in that situation.

WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD.

The worst experience I've ever had, when i checked in the attendant was obviously in an altered state of mind, when i entered the first room #109 , the ceiling was partially falling off, there were stains when i pushed the bed covers back and what seemed like small moving bugs, there was multiple food spray stains on the only lamp and all over the walls particularly next tothe bed. The phone was a shell with no cord or plug cord. I returned to the front desk and asked the attendant for a different room because of the filthy state of room 109. I asked for a second room that was not in a horrible condition. The attendant took me to room 111 it was in a slightly better state but not by much. The door lock and handle were barely on it didn't close correctly so i had to sleep with the chair and dresser pushed against it so no one could just push the door open while I slept,. The room was also filthy, the mattress was molding so i had to bring a blanket and sleep on my own blanket because the shhets and mattress were disgusting. I also found a soda bottle in mini fridge which shows nobody really took anytime to clean after the previous clients. I WILL NEVER STAY AT ECONO LODGE IN DECATUR GEORGIA, the almost 92.00 i paid for this HORRIBLE SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE was not worth it.

Am I lying ?

The appliances are old and outdated. The sink countertop has permanent markings all over. The shower is old and needs to be replaced. The curtain road is not durable to properly fit in its spot, so they rig it to make it fit and it’s noticeable. There is NO MICROWAVE in the room, and the refrigerator does not stand properly. The room smells.

Some of the guest that stay there are EXTREMELY LOUD. They wonder and prostitution with lingering females or trans asking for money.

The ONLY thing that kept me their was bringing my own air freshener and towels. Thank goodness I listened to my gut instincts which I Lysol that room down. Rm# 214

Went to wash my hands and found they left dirty soap from previous customer.
Went to use a towel for my face and as I unfolded it found it was still dirty.
Reserved a 2 night stay and the same night I arrived, was looking for another hotel. Was not at all clean and I personally did not feel safe, barely slept keeping an eye on my car throughout the night.
