Econo Lodge Eufaula South — Hotel in Eufaula

I have been stared at Econo before but the last time I was there it was a bad experience I never check behind the housekeepers when I check into a hotel I just assumed that there are clean Howard diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer I live in a trailer in the trailer park a bad storm came in the exit 1 in trailers to live I checked into econo LodgeI was so weak and tired I just could getting in the wrong I lay down immediatelycouple of hours later I got up to use the bathroom and I notice between one of the beds that was dirty tissue towers things that I wouldn't normally see when I walk into the room because I cannot be in that atmosphere with all of those John's I left he made it back went to the front desk took pictures show the desk clerk reported at and left someone was supposed to get in contact with me no I never did two weeks later I went back because I thought they was going to return my money on my credit card that didn't happen when I went back and talked to the manager they said that I should have checked the roomI thought that was part of housekeeping duties to check the rooms I didn't know that that was the gas responsibility it's been 6 weeks no one has contacted me no one had returned my money I'm 65 years old and I receive SSI and social security I cannot afford to just give $65 away at least they could have offered a room the next time I came free of charge but what they offered me was $10 off the next visit what a joke I've been there four times they have me in the computer as a preferred customer that's a laugh so what do I think about this hotel I would not recommend that I'm letting you go in and inspect your room before don't stay...

Made my reservations by calling the 800 Choice Privileges number. Jay K. Lacey (#JKL10171), Eufaula, AL, Econo Lodge, Thur, Jul 11, 2024 — Sat. Jul 13, 2024

Arrived. Stayed. Saturday morning checked out, no problem. Returned to room 107 (down-stairs) and still had things in room that needed to be moved to the vehicle. Wife was already in said vehicle and when I returned to 107 and found it locked. Upon asking at front desk if magnetic card was still operably lady said yes — but gave me new key “just in case”. After three (3) trips to front desk getting “new keys”, with zero opening of the locked door, lady came down to attempt opening with another type of key. Still no luck. Another lady came; they conversed in foreign language but still no opening. Then another came with hammer & bar and proceeded to bang on lock — finally getting said 107 open. I entered, gathered wife’s jewelry on night-stand BUT forgot the bed clothes there (night shirt & short pants) and the electric night-light (electric plug-in nite lite) I use in motel rooms.

The forgotten items above were not discovered until returned home and night time (same night, July 13th). Early the next morn (July 14th) I called the Choice Privileges number to report forgetting the items and the gentleman there said he’d call the Eufaula (AL) motel (334 687-0166) and report all. Once back on the phone he said he’d left a message and to expect a call from the manager the following day - which was Monday, July 15th. Nothing ever came; not from Eufaula, not from Choice Privileges. NOW WHO DO YA THINK I’M GONNA WANTA STAY WITH THE...

We were there for the BFL Fishing Tournament at Lakepoint State Park and this was the closest hotel (6 miles). Our first ever visit to Eufaula. Glad they had plug outlets for charging boats. I was pleased that the rooms offered a King bed(very comfortable beds)and a Double bed, but disappointed they were on the 2nd floor as my husband has trouble climbing stairs. The rooms on ground floor were all doubles. We can't fit in a double bed and with three people...we needed a Queen or King and bed for son (could have been a double for him). Housekeeping people need a lot of work in how to clean a room (looking between bed and night stands for stuff left behind) and what to look for (I will leave it at that since the front desk knows what all was wrong..nit picky little stuff). The 2 girls that worked the second shift were awesome....very friendly and treated you like they had known you all their lives. Don't expect a full breakfast as they only have the minimum required by Choice Hotels (waffles, cereal and bagels) but still not bad. I would definitely stay there again....even with the little things that were wrong with room....nothing that would have made me move to another room. AC works wonders....very cold. No...
