Executive Economy Lodge — Hotel in Pompano Beach

My wife and I decided to do a budget wedding anniversary this year somewhere warm in the continental U.S. since our past three were higher end, all inclusive Caribbean vacations. That being said we shopped around and chose this place because it was roughly $86 a night and less than one mile from the nearest beach.||||Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly front desk clerk who was extremely helpful, suggesting places to eat, sites to see, things to do in the area etc. This one experience was the best part of staying here.||||The hotel is located along Federal Highway and the property has a liquor store and Brazilian restaurant. There are three floors, with a small swimming pool, ice machine and snack/pop vending machines on the first floor. Our room was on the second floor of the hotel and was very basic. It had a small fridge, flat screen tv and microwave. The bathroom was stocked with hotel bar soap and fresh towels and there was an ice bucket and two standard plastic cups. Here are some points to note IF you still decide to stay here:||||Positives||1. Close to the beach||2. Affordable||3. Complimentary coffee in the main lobby almost all day long||4. Friendly staff||5. Free WiFi||||Negatives||1. ROACHES! On the very first night we stayed there were roaches and small ants literally crawling out of the woodwork! We brought it to the attention of the staff, who baited and sprayed twice. We figured we'd wait a day or two for the bait to work but it never got any better. Although the front desk staff offered to move us to another room we figured the problem might have been hotel wide so politely declined and stuck it out. It did not get better in 8 nights....||||2. Lighting in the room is very poor, provided by two bedside lamps.||||3. The walls are very thin...You can count how many times a toilet flushed or shower was turned on in the adjacent rooms. ||||4. The air conditioning unit kept making a loud ticking noise although we never once turned it on. This and other factors made the room seem in need of better maintenance.||||Overall this was not a good experience for us and there are definitely minor things that can be done to this place to make it a way better experience for visitors, even if it is a...

I have been coming here for a cpl of weeks now on and off. Everything's been great up until today. The staff is sweet and they are renovating which is a huge dif from 10 years ago with my first time here.I found a room I liked and wanted it again. I was here two days ago and felt itchy so before I left I decided to leave a paper inside a pillow case to see if the sheets evr get changed knowing I would like the same room again. Well it appears two days has gone by and they certainly were not changed. I requested new everything and at least this set smells fresh so I'm content for the day but after this weekend is up I will be going elsewhere. I was thinking this was my new fav location till today. I'm very disappointed and hopefully they will give me a discount for my inconvenience and their lack of cleanliness.I will certainly review again if they do Update: two days later I returned thinking it best to just ask for clean sheets to ensure cleanliness myself. I was basically told to leave based on my review. Apparently desiring clean sheets in every room is too much to handle and rather then keeping a customer they chose to stay dirty and lose out. Probably for the best seeing as how I was asked if I could find "hard c" upon leaving the last time I stayed. Seems they can renovate all they want but unless they choose to keep a clean room and environment and change their attitude towards negative feedback they will continue to get it and continue to create their own positive reviews.I'll be contacting the heath department at a random date. Perhaps reading this will ensure someone else or possibly their children don't have to sleep on used sheets some previous guest had. If not, it would be their own fault if they closed down or wetr...

This place was my escape when I needed a break from being a single Dad and running my plumbing company but everytime I put the 50 dollar deposit in cash the was no problem they would give it back upon check out but everytime I put it on my debit card there was a problem getting it back each time I was told clerical error after having to drive from my house in Boynton the last time I stayed there I gave maintenance some parts to fix some plumbing problems in rooms and was hanging out with a few staff members after work in the parking lot till around 1030 and went back to the room and went to sleep of course 2 weeks later my card still hadn't posted my deposit refund so I called the motel I was told it was refunded after the third call I was told by a staff member that the owner put in the computer that I was loud and therefore he was keeping my deposit..that's unbelievable he finally got my deposit as he had attempted several times before now I'll never go back there so for 50 dollars a decent person would never do that..from a business standpoint that's how you ruin a business so if Mohammed kept your deposit that's the way this man does business in America we...
