Roach and rudeness motel

Food is horrible due to sanitation . Lots of unhygienic people staying there. Roaches in the room. It’s a what you pay for is what you get. Two of the gentleman in the front the younger ones very nice . There were two older employees there one which I believe does laundry, very rude and mean. When I will ask for towels he will signal me no! I did not want people going in the room to clean because I was sleeping at the time. I had brain surgery a few months ago and due to that I can’t sleep at night and tend to sleep in the morning. So I would try to clean the room and due to that we’ll have to go. Ask for clean towels or toilet paper. The rude employees will tell me that I should get that from housekeeping when they come by. I still needed a room for another two weeks, but decided to go somewhere else. As I mentioned not all employees were rude. No matter what I paid, if all I asked for was towels or toilet tissue I don’t see why I should’ve been treated with an attitude for asking. I checked out but this was the first time I had to buy roach spray to stay somewhere. I thought I would use the fridge so I can eat there and save a buck from spending at a store but with roaches you can imagine my appetite .

A Very Good Hotel For the Price

I stayed at this EconoLodge because we were visiting a friend at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital. We were greeted promptly and with courtesy. I got our keys and went to out rooms. Both rooms were very clean. They were professionally done; by that I mean the beds were made, floors swept and mopped, all surfaces cleaned, sink cleaned, bathroom cleaned, with the toilet and tub sparkling. As far as bed comfort goes, the bed was a firm for me, but that's OK, it was only for 1 night. Overall, I thought it was a great stay. I have stayed in very much worse for the same price.
