Choice Hotels - Econolodge

Hotel was run down, not that clean and the free breakfast was nonexistent. I book the hotel because of the low price of the room. The hotel was centrally located for us seeing Prescott and Sedona. I will never book a room because of a low price without really checking on the hotel.

We had a wonderful King room and everything was just right for our stay - the floors and room was spotless and the bathroom was very clean too. Great hot breakfast too. Parking was good too and no problems overnight.

Econolodge in Richmond Hill GA. Dimmed the lights in the room as I sat down to eat and bugs started to appear from everywhere. Killed four or five to show management and was greeted at the counter by an Indian lady who was extremely rude. To add insult to injury she gave me a fake corporate number.

This hotel hired a towing company to tow my car. We were staying at this hotel for almost 3 weeks. As guests the hotel had our car on file, our tag #, make and model. The towing operator broke into my car and towed my vehicle in the evening while I was sleeping. When I found my car missing in the morning the manager at the front desk just laughed and gave me the number to the towing company and told me to keep it quiet while I was talking to the towing company. Everyone in the lobby was laughing. I'm sure the hotel got a kickback out of the $158 towing fee I was charged. They are thieves.

Charged twice 100 bucks for not smoking in a non smoking room. Poor customer service. I've screenshots of other complaints. Old socks in the room. Food around bottom of bed. They made the adjustment at 120 pm. I used the money they said. I took a Lyft before the money was there. Bull! Put our account in the negative. Not done.

My husband and I had the worst experience at the Econo Lodge Hotel Paw Paw, MI this last weekend. We arrived at the Econo Lodge late after a long day with family and provided our pre-paid reservation information. At first the person at the desk just indicated we didn't have a reservation. After showing him the documents confirming our reservation, he conceded that we had a reservation but he had cancelled it. He informed us that he had the right to refuse anyone a room at his discretion. After checking with all the other hotels in Paw Paw, it became clear that rooms were in high demand that night and no rooms were available.

I had pre-paid for my June 23, 2018 one night Econolodge Paw Paw, MI reservation through Hotwire.com on May 21, 2018. I felt comfortable that all was well with the reservation when I got a reminder email from Hotwire on June 21, 2018. I arrived at the Econolodge front desk just after 11:00 PM after a long day. I provided my ID and indicated that I had a one day prepaid reservation. A middle aged gentleman at the counter took my ID to check his computer and returned shortly to indicate that he had no record of my reservation in his system. I provided him electronic confirmation of my pre-paid reservation with confirmation number.

I missed my cancellation deadline by half an hour so they refused to modify my stay from 2 days to 1. Even if I cancelled outright I'd have to pay for the one night!! Of course they were very apologetic they couldn't help but were more than happy to give me the runaround. 800 number told me to call the hotel, hotel told me to call the 800 number...

Exhausted with some 500 plus miles driven that day, late 10:29... Checked IN! Was not given receipt. My mistake. Assigned room 118. On advice from Mgr, drove up road to get food. Room was definitely a pet room, no biggie. Showered tub had mold above the tub. Dried with baby thin towels. Got over it. Right to sleep. However, at some 4:15 woke to burning smell... Ammonia was killing us. We got up and left. I went to the side window, rang bell, complained the room was toxic in smell, to tall Indian man, same fella who checked me in... That we were leaving and I was very upset. Ask about a refund. Ha!

Econo Lodge, Woodson Rd, St. Louis, MO. Walked in the door to get to the room and got hit in the face by **. Hallway was smokey and I had to immediately go outside before my 1 year old grandson had an asthma attack. I go to the front desk and Joe (older Indian man doing the check-in) tells me it's not his problem and we'll just have to deal with it if we want to stay there. And if I want to move rooms it will be an additional charge. Two people came in behind us with the same complaint and were told the same thing. Who should have to sit up with two young kids waiting on police when we're only staying for a few hours before catching a plane???

I was about to check in and another guest was there. He said he had bed bugs. You could see the bites all over his neck. The manager didn’t want to refund my money for both my rooms. Which I never even checked into the room.

Choice Hotels - Econolodge, Iowa. It was a good stay, within my budget and they provided everything I needed. It was walking distance to restaurants so I didn't have to drive somewhere else to have dinner.

Econo Lodge North Academy - I paid for a room in advance online. When I went to check in I was told I had to come up with an additional $150 to get the room I had paid for. When I told the proprietor I did not have that much additional money he refused to give me the room or a refund of what I had already paid. So I was robbed of $46 and got nothing for my money. These people are crooks and should face criminal charges.

BEWARE!! Was charged with damages. There was never any proof of nor ever happened. General manager would not intervene. Place is run down and dirty. Probably scamming money to fix the nasty thing up with. WORST EXPERIENCE IN A HOTEL EVER! STAY ANYWHERE BUT CHOICE HOTELS!!

We had to go to Cleveland Ohio from Illinois for my sister's memorial service. Since this was not a planned trip, I didn't get a whole lot of time to find a hotel. Many hotels did not have much availability for the time frame needed. I found the EconoLodge. Pictures of it on website showed it as a decent place. Our room was on the 3rd floor, there was NO elevator, had to walk up to the 3rd floor. There was NO microwave, coffeepot, or alarm clock in the room. Had only 1 chair, had to ask for another chair since there were 2 of us. That 2ND chair had a leg that was broken.

Had closing. Scheduled in Orlando for 10/11/2017. Made reservation at Econolodge in Palm Coast. For 10/10/2017 – tom 10/11/2017 (Received. Reservation # **. for same). After driving 15 hrs arrived to find out reservation was for 10/24/2017. I had to pay for another night because a third party changed my reservation for whatever reason. My original reservation paid by my America Express states on my AMEX BILL: ECONOLODGE 586057 Palm. Coast. Arrival Date. Departure. Date. 10/06/17. 10/ 07./17 LODGING CARDEPOSIT. Now, if you have any reasonable answer, please explain how this happened.? P.S. I also paid double for a room. I also. have my Amex Bill for proof.

I booked a 2 night stay at the Econolodge in Durango Co. through Choice Privileges Rewards Program. I was charged 133.50 for the 1st night and 144.00 for the second night. On the day I checked in I received an email from the rewards program telling me I had points to use and where did I want to go. I typed in Durango Co, pushed find hotels, saw the Econolodge listed for 112.00 a night on the same day I checked in for 133.50. I went to the desk and asked for the rate published and they refused so I called customer service and am now 3 days into trying to get a refund for the overcharges. Today's phone call lasted one and one half hours. I spoke to 3 people and had to repeat the complaint 3 times and that was just today! Never again will I deal with this company.

Econolodge Crystal River FL - It is almost hard to believe that in the 21st century this filthy, smelly and filled with germ hotels exist. The rug, bathtub linens, and towels are a health HAZARD. The receptionist should get -0 for friendliness and helpful. I am a senior. Was pouring rain the phones were not being answered. Had to cross the parking lot. 3 employees talking and completely ignoring the telephones. I needed Lysol to spray the room. There was none their suggestion. Sleep with the windows open. Not only that they HAVE NOT issue a credit for 1 night THEY OWE ME MONEY. THE CREDIT IS ON THE WAY. Sleep in your car. I guarantee you is healthier. By the way no one knew why there was not a TV service.

Econo Lodge West Ossipee New Hampshire - Terrible hotel! Room was terrible, food left in fridge and staff was non-existent and when we left my wife left clothing in a drawer so we called the hotel within an hour of leaving and we're informed that access to the room wasn't possible because housekeeping had left for the day and to call back the next day (it was 11am). We called the next day and was informed nothing was found which was a lie but fine we'll live.

Econolodge North Academy Colorado Springs CO - This hotel was filthy and the smell in our room was unbearable - heavy with odor masking. There were mattresses right in front of our door along with pictures and chairs - apparently they were remodeling. The elevator was filthy to include trash and cigarette butts. The rating on this dump was 4.9. That is truly fraud. We decided to leave and told the front office girl why we were leaving - they still charged us for the night which I am disputing with my credit card company. I will NEVER stay at any of the Choice Hotels again. They need to get a handle on their franchise owners.

I flew in from Seattle and made a reservation with EconoLodge in Bellingham. My rental vehicles steering failed on my way to Bellingham. I called to cancel my EconoLodge reservation 1 hour after my reservation was made and I was hung up on by the man at the hotel. I called the next day to talk to the manager and was denied to talk to manager. I went again next day and talked to manager in person about what had happened to me and the manager said I was a no show, and I should have cancelled within 24 hours. I said I called to cancel within an hour of making my reservation and was hung up on. She said that the owners decided that they were not going to let me cancel even though I called within the 24 hour window time frame to cancel.

Checked into room around 8:45pm and we went to room and it looked nothing like the photo in the email confirmation. The room had a broken door jamb, holes in the wall, no trim around the floor, wires hanging out, broken tile, broken sink, food down the drain pipe, light bulb falling out of fixture, no handle on the bathroom sink, lamp shade broken, sheets and blankets with burn holes. When I requested another room. Management said they were booked, however their sign did not indicate that nor did their parking lot. They never mentioned we could have checked out then and got a refund. Spoke to Choice Hotels corporate and filed grievance. Asked hotel to get refund and they refused. Hotel lied and said they offered me a refund that night we were there but they didn't. Have since filed a dispute with my credit card company.

Econolodge in Texarkana,TX. Roughly 12:40 am. We booked our room a few hours earlier via our choice hotels app. Surprisingly the hotel had 4 out of 5 stars. Pictures looked good. Sweet right? We booked a king size bed no smoking room. My confirmation email shows it. What we are given is a 2 double bed smoking room. So we ask for a non smoking room, king size bed. We get to our new room and it's non smoking but double size. Ok we can deal. My friend goes to check the bathroom and pulls out a towel and there was a dead cockroach in the towel.

We was there 20 June 2017. Before the last 27 years we always loved them. Now in Wade, NC, 3945 Goldsboro Rd, we got the room. The first room the hard floor never washed the last 6 months. Bed was very dirty, not changed and the coffee pitcher had a 4 weeks old mold coffee there, but the cleaner like some tip, I gave to her. Better you cleaning. The second room was ok but tv, telephone, alarm clock was not working. Get my tip too. Morning we find out the manager is all week on the GOLF TOURNAMENT, and nobody replace it. Why?? Besides we had to pay 20$ more for king size bed. We never ever had to pay extra money. It's truth. Nothing last forever. We find on the way home; HOLIDAY EXPRESS INN and 15$ more than this garbage dump, and breakfast, SO GREAT LIKE LUNCH. Please never ever stay ECONOLODGE AGAIN. Thank you.

I will never go back to this hotel ever in life again. Usually the staff is nice but the manager's wife who was an elder Indian lady was super rude. In the morning when we went for breakfast we told her "Good morning" she only stared at us and didn't reply. When I took my kids to the pool we asked for extra towels. She asked what room we were in and stated I only have a king size room and didn't pay for that. I was floored. I told her I would pay for the extra towels. She was very rude and disrespectful.

I can't believe this place is open. First thing is they said they had 4 rooms left and they had 60 or more open. The price was over 200. Hell you can get something in Vegas for a quarter of the price. The place is outdated and dirty, bathroom light doesn't work, dirty tub, hanger on wall broken, and it's musty and smells... GROSS!!!

We stayed at Econolodge in Jacksonville FL Mayport. We paid for the room at 2. They said it wouldn't be ready till 4. Went to the beach, came back around 6. They gave us the key card. We went to the room, opened the door, beer cans everywhere, beds messed up. Went back to the office told them. They moved us. Got to that room. Water didn't work in the tub, our shower door would not lock, lock was broke off. Told them. They said, "Sorry we are out of rooms." We had our kids. Didn't really feel safe but we stayed. Got home a week later and found we had bed bugs. Had to get the house and beds and furniture treated a 1000 dollars later. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I have photos.

I am so utterly disgusted in the fact that the Econolodge located in Carrollton GA is still in business and nothing has been done or investigated regarding all the bad reviews on their website. I have stayed there and it's a horrible place. For one the property needs an overhaul badly inside and out. They have infestations of roaches and they have so many rooms that have bed bugs. And when it's brought to the attention of the what is called manager it's pretty much ignored. If you're lucky enough not to get cursed out and banned from the property she will smile in your face and bellow out her plans to make it right and give you tons of apologies but when you leave she laughs and goes on to what she does best which is nothing.

I checked into the motel in Sedalia, Mo. To start several things were broke in the room. The exhaust fan in the bathroom, the microwave, Power outlets. I sat on my bed and it broke. I went to the front desk and told them what had happened. The manager asked me if I had been jumping on the bed. I am 60 yrs old. No I haven't been jumping on the bed. She did change my room but rude comments from her were not needed or appreciated.

The Econo Lodge on Providence Highway and affiliate with Choice Hotels located in Sharon, Massachusetts is far from an adequate place to stay and enjoy a visit to the Boston area. The hotel clerk and staff are far from friendly and the rooms do not look like any of the pictures from the online website. The bathroom and vanity area was full of hair and soap scum, microwave was filthy with food from the guests and or guests from previous stays and it looked like the freezer and refrigerator had never seen a day of cleaning. We chose this location because it was one of the cheapest rates for Choice Hotels in the areas. Mind you it was over 100 dollars a night's stay.
