    The hotel...
    Madelyn B.

    We stayed for 3 nights. We went to Owa and this hotel is super close! There were a lot of people in the pool the first night not as many the second. The rooms are very clean and nice! I interacted with two different front desk employees and both were great and super enthusiastic! They give out free "freshly baked cookies" and we took at least 15 over the whole stay. Their breakfast consisted of sausage, eggs, and a cool pancake machine that makes it for you. They also had cereal, yogurt, and oatmeal. This place is awesome. We also lost our keys and the front desk was very understanding... both times. I highly recommend this place!

    If you are staying in this area, this is the best Inn with the best rate we found in March of 2015. We were pleased to check into here AFTER staying at 2 other motels (1 night each), then they increased the rates substantially for their weekend nights. This place was cheaper prior to the weekend as well as during a weekend stay. It isn't only about price! We got an equal or better breakfast offering and amenities as the other 2 motels. So, why not stay here? The staff we talked to were friendly and helpful! The lobby & dining area is clean and inviting. They earned a 97 on their health grade. Our room was comfortable and the shower was really nice! There's also a mini-fridge and microwave in the room. For your comfort, there is a chair & ottoman to relax in. I did like the flat screen TV, too! I was very happy that they even give you free WiFi! They have an outdoor pool and a Jacuzzi. Parking is free and there are plenty of spots! The complimentary breakfast included cold cereals & oatmeal, breads & bagels, pastries, biscuits & gravy, scrambled eggs, sausage, coffee & juice. There is a waffle maker & batter to make your own waffle fresh! There is a brochure rack where you can find things of interest while in the area. This EconoLodge is directly across the street from the Tanger Outlet Stores. For the price, amenities, and convenience, this is the choice place to stay! I highly recommend choosing this EconoLodge when in this area!

    This was an interesting stay. I typically like staying with Econo-Lodge Hotels, but this time was different. It started well with a very courteous front desk clerk. She was not able to give me a room early but that was ok, she let me know about the area and where to go to waste some time. Upon return, at 4:10 pm (check in was at 4 pm), there were 3 of us waiting at the front desk and none of the rooms were ready. You might need to consider hiring an actual staff to clean the rooms. We got to the room and found a very dirty room to greet us. The room was very outdated with paint on the walls from the 1980s and then we went into the bathroom to find multiple tiles missing on the wall of the shower (all we saw was the dried glue behind the tiles). The tub was also dirty, we decided to skip the shower. The ceiling was also needing some repair. Finally the mini-fridge was missing a leg and beat to hell with dents. We ended up paying $106 for 1 night, which I know for the area is good but not worth the conditions of the hotel. We will definitely be returning to the area but not to this hotel.

    This is by far the most disgusting hotel I've ever stayed in. And for the price, it's even more outrageous. So, we've got the COVID pandemic going on, and I'm by no means a Karen who is screaming at ppl for not wearing masks, but to see all these corporations put out their "feel-good" statements of how they are working overtime to keep things clean- it's hilarious how disgusting this place is. There was literally mold on the furniture, stains on the bed and holes in walls. Any positive reviews on this place have got to be fake. Thank god we were only here for one night while waiting to get into beach house.

    I recently had a 4 night stay at the Econo Lodge in Foley,AL. I had stayed 4 years ago and decided to try it again, as it was pretty decent. I arrived 6/22 and found out it had gone way downhill. I was so disappointed and uncomfortable in the room that I canceled the rest of my stay and found a new hotel. There were questionable people outside the hotel. The doors were all banged up and peeling paint. The air conditioner was filthy, furniture was old and damaged, holes in blankets and curtains, severe water damage in the bathroom, etc. I know it's a motel style chain but this was unacceptable for $94 plus tax, plus a $25 pet fee. I felt like I was in a pay by the hour motel. It saddened me that people heading to what is a major vacation area are being lead to believe this is a decent hotel or even a clean motel.

    Don't waste your time or money. Book at a reputable hotel and pay the extra to avoid the hassle.

The silverware was dirty, the counters had sticky residue. The couch was so old it was ridiculous to even get a comfortable seat. The floor was dirty, and the curtain separating the room(suite) was torn. These are a few of the issues. The windowsill also had a sticky residue on it. The worst thing about this hotel is their beds with horrible mattresses and flimsy sheets. Would I stay here again...nope!

He was pretty much the highlight of the stay, being checked in by him. The negative of the property; The gym floors do not appear as if they have ever been cleaned. I saw the same dirt and grime on the floor throughout my entire visit while at the property. The room did not have a working garbage disposal. The floors are the thinnest floors I have ever experienced at a hotel (If you read through the threads, others complain about this too). If you get down to breakfast anytime past 7:45 AM, Walmart is better civilized than this place. It is beyond crowded, and the waffle machine, forget trying even to use that. The staff is not on top of this area's madhouse, as there were a lot of items not restocked. I would describe how condescending and mean Peggy at the front desk is. But, in the end, I do not think it will make a big difference with management. We had several interactions with her in person and on the phone over several days. For people to say she was helpful or has been helpful in the past must be dealing with a completely different Peggy than we watched over our entire trip while we were there. Would I stay here again, not unless there was no other option. I would have to be on the 4th floor and use whatever side door possible to try and avoid any form if interaction with Peggy.
