It all started with the check in.  We were given 3 rooms that were not near each other.  That was ok.  Let’s first talk about our room.  We were in town to bury my mother.  So daddy and I shared a room.  The motel was suppose to be remodeled, well it was kinda, sorta.  Back to my room.  It smelled like it used to be a smoking room but the the carpet was shampooed and left to dry, wet old smoke, with a touch of old dog, and a hint of urine that was very present between the beds.   The beds were comfortable and clean.  The rug was dirty. And you could tell when you looked at your socks. The bathroom. Let’s see. The tub still had the new sticker on it, that was not taken off, the toilet seat was new and falling off every time you sat down, you almost fell off.  The door.  Well closed and had a new handle but no hard ware.  So would not stay closed. Thank goodness for wash cloths.   The first night we had someone trying to break into our room.  No luck. Thank goodness. Second night again someone tried to get into our room but this time they had a key to open the door.  Thank goodness for the security locks.  I opened the door and it was a family that was mistakenly given our room that we had been in two of four days.  The next day we had 3 different  associates come by the room to see if we were there.  Somehow they had us in a different room.  We did have to buy a candle just to cover the smell to stand the room all 4 days.    The other 2 rooms were rehabbed but still not complete.  One had no light bulbs and no power on the one side of the room. The other didn’t have any power  but also had no smoke detector that was removed and wires cut.  The electrical nightmare that was behind the kingsize bed was so bad, I’m surprised it did not burn the hotel down.   It also smelled of medical card grade marijuana, coming from the air vent in the bath room.  The associates were very nice but you can only put glitter on something so much before you call it brand new.   We were in rooms 302, 316 and 320.    Let’s say I would defiantly not recommend staying here ever.

Sad trip made worse

After checking in, I tried to connect to the internet, never did work. Tried using a laptop and two different phones, none connected unless I left the room and went around the corner. Clerk was not very helpful in resolving. Fortunately, the cell signal is strong here for my att phone and the wife's Verizon.
The entry door was very dirty as seen in the photo. I cleaned it with some soap and a wash cloth, a job housekeeping should have done. My wife had clean some in the bathroom and ended up with a very dirty washcloth too. The toilet seat is loose too.
The bed seems ok and the a/c and the fridge worked well. 
Fix the internet dead spots and improve your cleaning and the place is ok.

Poor housekeeping, lousy internet

Total check in time about 50 minutes.
First room 417 had a quiet AC but no light bulbs in the lamps. How can cleaning miss the light bulbs. Also, no refrigerator. Switched room to 419. 
Loud AC
Hot water was a few degrees over warm. I had it all the way on hot and still needed it a lot hotter.
Room looked clean but was not. Photo of wash cloth after I wiped headboard. (attached)
Feet were black on bottom after walking bare foot for about 20 minutes. Took shower and saw black water running down the drain.
Put socks on. Left them in the room black when I left.
Big gap under the door. Hot air coming in. (I put 2 pillows down to block it) 
Trash all over the back parking lot. 
3AM when I left because of the outside light coming into the room causing me not to sleep,  parking lot was quite busy. Cars coming in and out. 3 people sitting on their car drinking.

Go elsewhere

Nice location and the Quality Inn and Econo Lodge are in the same building. You will also pay the same price I imagine for both. We got a good value on a suite and the sign said the hotel had recently been renovated. The room was clean but some of the furniture was older. Nice staff and breakfast was continental at this time due to COVID-19.

Family Trip

I search hotel rooms for bugs once I enter them, however after this experience I learned I was not looking for the correct things. I was watching a movie On my laptop and kept seeing something out of the corner of my eye, the lights were off, I brushed it off thinking it was just floaters or something...never expecting what I learned 25 mins later. I started itching and when I grabbed my phone to shine a light I learned it was bed bugs. I quickly went up to the front desk and informed them that they had a very bad bed bugs infestation and they were everywhere. She responded that she was not sure what to do.... When I Returned, turned all the lights on they started moving off of the bed. Room 308, was a double so I had my suitcase open on the other bed..they were IN MY SUITCASE.  I went to go to Walmart only to remember, “oh yeah we are in a pandemic..it’s closed” so I had to go back to the hotel and ask them for large trash bags because I wanted to salvage my suitcase and clothing. The front desk clerk did offer me a new room, but by this point it would have been pointless due to the bugs being in my luggage, I would have just transferred them..and there was no where to buy new clothes prior to me having to be at work in the very early morning hours. It is 9:30-10pm at this point. Anyhow, long story short...I had to leave my suitcase behind as it was too large for the bags....And double bagged all of my clothes in trash bags and zip tied them to put in my trunk. I drove 2.5 hours home that night. 

**i understand bed bugs can happen in any facility, my post is for past and future guest to be aware that they have/had them, and for them to take proper safety measures when entering a room. I am in no way trying to bash the hotel or talk in a negative manner**

The pictures below are from the 2 sets of pillows in the room, this is all I could get as I was freaking out and when the lights come on they apparently run. I showed the clerk these photos.

Bed bugs/ rm 308

Good location. Nice people running the place. Good value, with quite a few restaurants in the area. Room was quite clean and quiet. I drive a hot shot, and they have plenty of parking. I will stay there again.

Good value

I travel to Thomasville for work and on this trip all the hotel were sold out except the Econ Lodge. I understood that this is a 2 star hotel so my expectations were in line. To my surprise the rooms were pleasantly updated and clean! The staff was friendly and courteous. If you're looking for a 4 star hotel this isn't the place for you.The exterior still needed some work ad it's a cold breakfast but  I would recommend this hotel for a value budget stay.

Nice renovation to rooms

I stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms, you can tell how hard they are working to renovate and remodel this hotel. Folks were there all hours of the day working, adding new furniture, etc. Many of the rooms are filled to the brim with new shelves, desks, beds, televisions, and more. I can see that they've gotten bad reviews in the past, but it looks like they're working very hard to improve their scores. I would recommend the hotel to folks looking for an affordable place to stay in Thomasville. The staff are friendly and went out of their way to help me have a good stay.

Hopefully they do add fruit to the breakfast though!

I'd stay here again.

Great location and they're making new improvements!

Checked in when other hotels were full due to Tallahassee Spring football game.  Was happy to find a clean room with comfortable bed and soft fresh sheets.  Shower unit new, and bathroom updated.  Room was awaiting new furniture the management told me, but old furniture wasn’t bad.  Lamp was missing a lightbulb and remote didn’t work on tv.  Quiet room.  Manager let me know the hotel strives to keep a quiet atmosphere and wants to keep out parties that might disturb other guests.  
Exterior stairway to second floor.  No elevator.  

Basic motel undergoing updates, clean comfortable room

Was visiting home for an overnight trip and needed a place to stay. I read the mixed reviews here and saw some that seemed a bit harsh and stupidly ignored them. I regret it. I reserved a stay for one night and paid online for my reservation. Upon check in, they took my card and info. The lobby was filthy, kind of what you would expect from a low quality place. Once I got my key I went to my room, as soon as I opened the door there was a dead roach on the floor. The carpet looks like it has never been vacuumed or cleaned in years. There was something gooey on the bedside tables, the bedsheets had stains and hair in them. The bathroom was so dirty too. What a mistake. 

I went back to the office and demanded my money back. They offered me another room but it just wasn’t worth it. This place was too disgusting. The guy at the front desk said he refunded me and I checked my checking account to find out they didn’t, instead they double charged me just like previous reviews stated. 

I have no idea how they are still in business. No way are they rated an “A” from health and safety. This business needs to shut down or shape up because it is a health hazard!
