Econo Lodge, Reading

OWNER MANTRA (INDIAN) WAS NOT HELPFUL. CLEANING STAFF STOLE A EXILE N HOLLYOOD T SHIRT FROM OUR ROOM. DREW HER EMPLOYEEE STATED ALOT OF ITEMS DO DISAPPEAR AND NOT MAKE IT TO THE MISING ITEMS BIN. AVOID THIS PLACE NO WORKING SHOWER,LOUD NOISE TO HIGHWAY, WE ARE CONTACTING POLICE TO PRESS CHARGES. AND CONTACT CORPORATE ON THESE INDIVIDUALS.

For the price of this hotel, you can spend $10 more at the Ramada Inn or Comfort Inn across the streets and have a much more pleasant experience. The room smelled very musty, bathroom tub and floor were unclean, and only shower temperature was scolding hot. Felt very uncomfortable at this hotel and will not be returning.

The proximity to US Bus 222 is very close, and noisy, although the noise in the room wasn't significant (and was partly overwhelmed by the air conditioner drone). Non-smoking rooms are ALL on upper floor, facing this highway. The room was rather small, but servicable. It was just (barely) clean enough with no amenities (although the bathroom floor was cleaner than I've seen in some higher-end rooms). Towels and sheets are threadbare and thin. The evening desk clerk was more than helpful, and corrected charge discrepancies that the online reservation service had caused. They are supposedly re-modeling, which they desperately need; there was plumbing going on, and we had no water from 5 PM until about 9:45 PM. I would consider this as a last resort, as there are other options nearby.

Stay away!!! The websites that allow this franchise to be advertised should cancel them, because it is definitley bad for business and very misleading to potential travelers! The manager was very rude and inconsiderate! He was also condescending and offensive! The conversation alone when trying to check in was uncomfortable because he was so unpleasant, when mentioning his attitude "he" was offended. If you want to have a nice trip, do not stay here! You will regret it and it will ruin part of your experience in travelling. I can assure you of that!

it was a nightmare. we had 3 rooms reserved. we were in town for a wedding, and lets just say that when we get back to pennsylvania, we will camp out before we stay here again. manager said we only had 2 roomes reserved , that took forever to fix. they dont accept millitary i.d., and the manager was VERY rude.water pipes screamed, the water went back and forth , scalding hot, freezing cold. we found bugs dead inside the pictures.

All I can say is that it was one class above Klein's. I guess the price is decent, but the place is not nice. Had it not been for the company I was with, I doubt I would have stayed there. YUK!

When I read the 2 previous reviews, I thought that maybe they were a bit harsh. They weren't. Please take seriously all 3 of the reviews for this place. I attempted to get a room at the Econo Lodge. As I walked into the main office, I asked for a room. I was greeted with no hello or how are you. Instead, I was greeted by old cranky man who barked at me "you know its $130". I informed him that every website I had gone to had stated $70. He said that he felt like raising the price. A younger man was behind the counter who made a facial gesture to me as if to say sorry. The younger man made a compromise and decided to charge $100. At this point, the older man stepped around the counter and stood behind me. He was looking me up and down as if he was sizing me. I could see anger in his eyes. Then the younger man informs me that it would be a 20 minute wait for a room. This was the last straw for me. I turned around to the older man behind me who was still looking me up and down and said that I was not staying here. I said that I didn't appreciate the gruff attitude which I had been greeted, the fact that the price was almost doubled and now I would have to wait 20 minutes for a room. I walked out and went to the Comfort Inn across the street. There, I got a nice suite for only $120. There is also a Ramada across the street. Unless you want to be abused and cheated by the hotel staff, there is no reason to stay at the Econo Lodge. The only reason I gave this review one star is this review needs at least one star to be posted. Otherwise, I would have left it as no stars.
