Economy Inn of McAlester, McAlester

My husband stays away for work, and he was staying at the Economy Inn in Mcalester Oklahoma. He was getting whelps all over him at the first of the week. We kinda jokingly said "Its Bed Bugs". Then by Thursday night he was completely covered in these whelps. I told him to check the seems and around the bed frame and headboard and sure enough he found those little creepy things!! He took the sheets off and found little blood stains all over the mattress! He went to the front desk, took them the bugs and said he wanted his money back! They would not give him his money and they told him that the bugs he brought to them were dirt! He ended up calling the police, which they couldn't help because its a civil issue. But I just got off the phone with the health department and informed them of the situation. I would not stay there ever! I told him that from now on just spend the extra money and get a better hotel. I know that this isnt the best hotel to pick from but we were trying to save money. Even though things are tight right now, I will make room in our budget to spend the extra money! This has been a nightmare! Stay at your own risk! I would stay in my vehicle with two kids or drive until I could find another hotel even if it was 100's of miles away! I had to give this thing a 1 star because it wouldnt let me give it NO stars! so its not even a 1 star!

we had family in for a wedding and none of us had the forthought to reserve rooms.. All the midgrade hotels were either full or had horrible reviews.. this one had no reviews at time of booking so i figured no bad reviews meant we could get by. Our family occupied 4 rooms all of which were clean. Make no mistake this is a much older hotel so things are not new but that doesn't mean dirty.. Carpets were vacuumed but really needed shampooing. However, we had an overall good experience. ANd we had absolutely no problems with owners.. Very nice and accomadating to all of us. I do understand that some of rooms are in worse shape than others. SO mention that when you call for reservation and ask for rooms in good shape.
