Econo Lodge Modesto Motel - Page 1

There was poor access to the building as there were problems with the door latch to the outside. The lack of coordination about my late check-out resulted in my being disturbed by the cleaning crew early. There were problems with the TV remote not functioning. There were problems with insufficient outlets for lights, TV, microwave, and the refrigerator, I had to unplug some items for more important things. The night desk clerk was very friendly and helpful, he even brought up extra towels as we were shorted on ours. The day clerk seemed more concerned with talking to some guys, and I felt the service was perfunctory. The landscaping was pretty. The service staff could not see the tiny do not disturb tag on the door lock and attempted entry. The location was good for freeway access, but that section of town seemed seedy and there were no obvious good places to eat or get groceries.

The motel outside door card reader was defective. There were inadequate electrical outlets for the equipment in the room. The microwave was not working right, it was dangerous, it continued to cook when the door was opened, and it would not fully shut off. The TV remote was not working right. The TV channel selection was very poor. My late check-out plans were not relayed to the staff so I was bothered early by the room cleaners. The morning desk service was curt. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was good. The night desk clerk took a very late arrival in stride and personally delivered the extra towel requested. The hallways were hot and stuffy. The door at the top of the stairs was hard to get past with suitcases, it closed too quickly. The hotel was easy to get to off the freeway. The location did not inspire confidence, neither did the loiterers around the pay phone outside.
