"Unfortunate overnight stay at the Economy Inn."
Overall score2.0/ 5
At first look we found the Economy Inn average, but the traffic noise made it difficult to sleep. Also the noise of the heating system (beginning of Nov.) made it twice as difficult to sleep. Finally, when I arranged the blanket on the bed in the morning, I found 6 burn holes from cigarettes on the blanket and it was a non smoking room.

"I had a good stay."
Overall score4.0/ 5
The room was spotlessly clean with crisp new sheets on the bed. Everything was in working order. They were responsive to a few calls I made to the front desk. A/C worked well. Wi-Fi worked well.

"Below Average"
Overall score1.0/ 5
Peeling ceiling, refrigerator was unplugged. Bathroom window was plexiglass and didn't lock, could feel the springs in the mattress, ice bucket was dirty, not to mention the garbage in the parking area. I understand the neighborhood is sub par, but it was not comforting to have a barbed wired fence around the property and a non locking window.

"The room was not cleaned when the front desk staff give us keys to the room the room."
Overall score1.0/ 5
when we enter open the refregirator it was not cleaned my wife cleaned it, also the bath tub and the bathroom sink were all dirty, we broght this to the attention of the front desk personnel who said his name is Zee. We asked hin to come witness the dirty in these areas of the room. When cane and saw it he told us that there is no maid on duty still 8 am the next day at that time he can ask them to clean the place for us. He did not make any effort to clean so as we express our displeasure about the conditions of the room he asked us what we want to do whether we are going to stay or leave. so we gave him the keys and left to go find another hotel. Befotre then we asked to speak to the manager.Mr. Zee told us he is not available till 9:00 Am the next day. There was no special different contact number except the same front desk number. He give the manager's name as Shawn. I called no Thursday September 2nd and Friday September 3rd to speak to the manager but we were told he has not come arround but the message will be divere to him to call me back. We never did hear from him. Mean while the credit card has been charge for $634 and $14.99 for the room and reservatin fees respectively for room we did not stay. I am requesting a full refund of the room charge and the reservation, The attitude from from this facility caused us a lot of inconveniences and dissappointments.

"Price Gouged"
Overall score1.0/ 5
One of the only good things we can say is that the roof did not leak. We were price gouged and had to spend $180 for a night in a motel probably worth around $50 per night. Hurricane Henri did cause a hotel vacancy shortage but this establishment sure took advantage. The air conditioner did not work, it was a very uncomfortable night to sleep. The bathroom was very small and moldy around the shower. The floor in the bedroom and the vanity were fairly new but this room was not worth the money.

"Horrible Room."
Overall score1.0/ 5
The room was not very clean. Two light bulbs were out. The room smelled like a smoking room even though I specifically requested a non smoking room. The ceiling needs to be patched and repainted. We ended not sleeping there and had to go to the Suite Hotel in downtown.

"DIRTY NASTY GARBAGE."
Overall score1.0/ 5
This place is the worst. No one should ever go there, the ower will probably do something about RENOVATIONS. The tub let me sick to my stomach. I had to put two plastic bags inside to stand on..IT needs to close down.
