Economy Inn

I’d called the wrong location and somehow didn’t catch it, even though I was told more than once. Still, the man who answered was patient and polite with me. Thanks.

After nine days there, I asked to have the sheets changed. The manager argued about fresh bedding and said, quote, “we only change sheets once every 2 weeks.” Earlier, when I checked in, the room smelled like an ashtray, so I smoked in it. When I came back from work, they said they had to deep clean the whole room and charged me $130 to open the windows.

The housekeeper walked in while I was naked, well before checkout. At the front desk, they said I should have put up the do not disturb sign, then refused to give me the manager’s number. I shouldn’t have to worry about employees entering an occupied room well before checkout, then be blamed because I didn’t hang a sign. Do not stay here!

Three of the five staff members were nice, and that was the only good thing about the Economy Inn. We paid $89 a night and stayed for two weeks in a disgusting room. The carpet and furniture were so dirty that my wife’s bare feet turned black; I bought upholstery cleaner, and the towel I used on the furniture came away completely black. They moved us from our original room because the shower leaked behind the wall. Later, I didn’t get back to pay on time because I thought my wife had money on her card, and I’d forgotten my phone. They wouldn’t give us a break after all that money spent. They wanted my disabled wife to leave and walk three miles to a shelter, and couldn’t even offer her a ride.
