Econo Lodge Austin Motel

This was the worst experience I've ever had at a motel.

I'm not picky, so I overlooked the fact that the furniture was uneven and the vanity was cracked and crooked. But when I went to the bathroom and saw the towel bar hanging from one joint and that it hadn't been cleaned from the last guest, washcloths, towels and soap wrappers were strewn across the floor.

I went to management and complained, but they said the hotel was full and the only thing they could do was to offer me a discount since I was staying in an uncleaned room. I felt bad for the hotel desk attendant, he was young and apologized profusely. His manager was out of town and the cleaning crew was gone for the day. He brought me some clean towels and tried to tidy up the restroom, which was nice. But it still felt nasty in there.

I thought the customer was king. Their manager is probably the rudest man I've ever met. There was trash everywhere, and panhandlers behind every corner.

The rude manager did not know where a sewing kit was but the kids playing in the lobby did. There was a bug on the sheets and the coffee was just warm.
