Hello, Constant Reader. Boy do I have a review for you! Brunswick, Georgia, doorstep to the Golden Isles has many-a-rest stop for the travel weary. What is not offered is a reasonable deal for said lodging. Which is surprising, considering that the town is constantly on the brink of total economic failure, more so exacerbated by the whole coronavirus thing we can’t seem to get over. One would think there’s be rock bottom deals and hoteliers tripping over themselves to get your money. Nope. We checked in around 0400 after over 30 hours of international travel and right away I knew I was in for a treat. As a general rule, any hotel/motel that requires you to enter your room from the outside rather than an internal hallway is a tacit indicator that the place is a dump. This was no exception. The room itself smelled like swamp water and mold, which seemed logical considering the water damage all over the outmoded popcorn ceiling. The bathroom door handle didn’t turn yet you could push it closed and allow the mechanism the latch into place, thus effectively trapping you inside. Perfect for all those adventure-seekers looking to perish in a fiery roach-laden grave! Not to mention the walls of the bathroom. Never mind all the walls were scuffed, dented, and stained. The BATHROOM wall had a booger on it! A F%{*#+% BOOGER! Speaking of roaches! I mean, do I really need to elaborate? Ok, sure: the room had a cockroach infestation. Of course that was only discovered after the first full night there with my kid. Same kid who got violently ill from eating a yogurt from their “breakfast.” So yeah, food safety is not a priority at this establishment. Which, after about 27 hours there, was the final straw and immediately canceled my stay and demanded a refund for the rest of my booking (I originally booked 10 nights. Yikes!). What else...ah, there was a cigarette butt in the corner, the window air conditioner was loud as all get out, there was a permanent dampness to the carpet, beds and towels. The towels looked like they’ve been in circulation for about 15 years, thin, stained and small. On a positive note: the CCTV system looked newer, if that’s any indication of the area I was staying. Honestly, this motel has no business being open. Absolutely no business. It’s a health and safety hazard and should be shut down. If you’re looking to save a few bucks, either don’t travel or pitch a tent. You’re better off than risking your health at the Econo Lodge. Frankly, I’m surprised there wasn’t a chalk outline where a body was discovered.…

This hotel is in dire need of renovations!!! There were tiny bugs all over and coming from a hole just above the counter behind the coffee maker. The taps were dirty and extremely hard to turn on. When I tried to plug in the hair dryer it sparked so did no use. Bathroom was not clean. Black spots on some towels. Ugliest bed covers ever. Just an unkempt ,dirty outdated place. Only stayed here because other hotels were full.and a lady in the Best Western recommended it WHY!!

As the name "Econo-Lodge" implies, this is a budget motel. If you're tired of driving the Interstate, and just want a good nights rest at a reasonable cost, this franchise fills the bill. I would DEFINITELY stay at this property again Very convenient to the Interstate. At check in, the desk agent was VERY courteous and helpful. She advised us at the start about no elevator, and made certain that we were OK with using the stairs. She also went above and beyond to inform us of restaurants in the vicinity. The morning staff was also very friendly. The building itself may date from the...70s? But it is clean, bright, and seems well maintained. It has all the things we needed - quiet location, clean room, clean comfortable bed, great pillows. The bathroom was spotless, well furnished with adequate towels. The floor in our room was NOT carpeted. It has been re-done with the modern "faux wood" ceramic tiles. This was a surprise to me, but NOT a problem - the floor was amazingly clean. There was a great selection of TV stations, including at least three premium channels. Breakfast was plain, simple filling fare. Cereals, oatmeal, pastries, hard boiled eggs, the usual hot and cold drinks. Quite satisfactory for starting off the day - except for the "coffee." The only "complaint" I have is about the coffee. I'm seeing a trend away from REAL, fresh-brewed coffee toward "powdered coffee "generators". The taste is instantly (sorry - bad pun) noticeable, and the gook that settles at the bottom of the cup confirms the decline in quality. I don't think it's this motel's fault. I suspect it's a move at corporate levels to cut costs. If so - BAD move! If I'm mistaken, my apologies to corporate. I see recent comments about bugs. Both my wife and I were up a couple of times during the night. We NEVER saw a single ANYTHING "creepy." Maybe we were lucky; maybe we were there during the "bug-off" season. Whatever the case, we had NO problems. As stated earlier. I would certainly consider staying here again when I'm in the area.…

Stayed at the econo lodge. When I turned the lights on bugs were seen running across the bed. When I lifted the mattress to check out the bed I found that the mattress was ripped and the springs were showing. This is a choice rewards motel. When I complained to choice rewards they said it was a franchise motel and that they were sorry. If they offer a franchise they should be responsible for the quality of that hotel. I guess it all boils down to money
