Econo Lodge — Hotel in Lavonia

Well I've read alot of bad about this place. I will tell of my experience. I checked in at the days inn which is right next door had my doggie with me. They charged me extra $20 for my fur baby. I stayed there for 4 days and 4 nights. Now stay with me. Everyday my key wouldn't work, so I would have to go get my key reprogrammed. A little bit of an inconvenience but no worries. Point being I was down in the lobby speaking with staff Everyday. On my 5th morning I went down as usual. Only this time the rude young lady says you owe us money. I said I don't believe I do. I asked what do I owe you money for??? They said for my dog... I explained I had already paid pet deposit when I checked in. She very rudely said you owe us more as she points to a paper she just pulled out. Because my dog is heavier than 25lbs. It's this price which was $70. Ok I've been down here everyday and yall have never said anything to me about this. So I asked $70??? She said per night. I said per night?? She said it's not a deposit either.... what??? So I owe you $350 Then she said if I can't pay I need to leave right now or they will call the cops... lmbo I believe that she was just scamming me. So I went next door to econo lodge and Amanda was awesome. She calmed me down. Got me in a room and explained how the extra pay is for my dog. Upfront and it was do able $35 Xtra not $70. I believe that young lady with glasses rude hotel desk attendant is scamming people for her own pocket. Amanda thank you for being a descent human being. She has went above and beyond.. Overall this hotel is nice. If you need an escape or you just need some peace and quiet. You can stay here and it's peaceful. Rooms are big and...

Room was nasty. I had to sweep the floor. It was dusty and TV stand was sticky. Manager is very rude. No breakfast which is ridiculous. The workers just stand and look at you. They almost got paint in my daughter's hair. They don't have the pool fixed but fuss about the kids riding scooters seems backwards. NOTHING good about this hotel. It might be cheap but DON'T stay here. This place needs to be shut down. Oh and had a water bug in the room. They are remodeling and leave tools laying around. It really doesn't deserve a star.

Update of review:

Stayed here to give them another chance. When I tell you don't stay here don't stay here. House keeping gave us things we needed early the day. I asked for toilet paper and trash bag but she didn't bring it. She said she would bring it back. Hours later and she never did so I went to the front desk and the manager said it's house keeping job and she will be there in 5 minutes which was a lie. I had to ask repeatedly. Ended up having to change my son because they didn't bring tissue and the manager didn't do his part of telling who he hired to do their job. I needed the floor swept and they lied again and said that it's a law for people to leave the room while they clean. After doing some research found out that was a lie because at the time I didn't know for sure. Not to mention the floor wasn't swept great, still haven't gotten a blanket, the trash still hasn't been taken care of, house keeping got upset with me because she isn't doing her job and nobody that works there has even brought it to her attention that she isn't doing her job very well and needs improvement. I must say we deserve money back after being...

Don't ever stay here. The pictures online are MISLEADING, the place is filthy, uncomfortable, smells awful, our "non-smoking" room reeked of cigarette smoke, had sandpaper rough, thin towels, and no toiletries. .. but all of that is one thing, can be part of the gamble of mid-to-lower-priced hotels... the owners were the real problem. When we arrived, we were horribly sunburned. I was wearing short, linen shorts and a thin, cotton blouse; nothing indecent but a little more revealing than my usual, fairly conservative attire. I was in PAIN and wanted as little cloth on my skin as possible. When we went inside to check in, there were four older Indian people (two women and two men) on a couch and one younger Indian man behind the counter. The women stared daggers at me, and they all began rapidly speaking, gesturing, pointing, and clearly talking about me. They were so loud we couldn't hear the kid trying to check us in. They jumped up, stumped outside, continued their tirade through the window, then, when I turned and arched a brow at them for about a minute flat, they got into the two vehicles parked in front of the office... a Nissan Titan and a Hummer, both 2017 models, and peeled out like teenage boys. We were put in a handicapped room. We asked why-no English to answer coherently. We asked to move, in case someone else needed the room. Smile and "full." The parking lot was almost empty. The next morning, the "hot breakfast" was a toaster, bread, and orange kool aid. Seriously. Don't ever stay here. They're clearing that kind of profit but cannot clean the room or put out cereal? A pop tart? Human...
