    My wife and I were charged a $100 incidental deposit when we checked in. Upon checkout, we asked the lady at the front desk to check our room so we could insure we would receive our full deposit back. She refused and said the house keeper had to check it. We got in our car and sat there waiting, because we had a funny feeling at that point. The front desk lady came out to the parking lot about five minutes later and told us to leave. When we checked our account a few days later we were only refunded $80 of the $100. We are extremely clean people and literally slept, took a shower, and left. So, we tried to call for an explanation. It took three different calls over a few days to get any info whatsoever. Today when we called, it was the same lady who was there when we checked out. She first said we stole two towels. When we told her we didn't even use the second towel in the room because we shared a towel to dry off, and the second clean one was on the wrack when we left, she then said we stole two wash clothes. We told her we left them hanging in the shower on the water faucet but she said it did not matter because that's what housekeeping told her. We asked why she refused to have our room checked before we left and she said because it's not her job.Our intent is not to bad mouth anyone's property however, these "supposed, stolen" wash clothes are replaceable at any dollar store for $1.00 each. They were extremely low quality. That being said, we would like some some resolution as to why we were literally refused a room check while we were on property, then charged $20 for $2 worth of wash clothes that we left in the shower.

    I visited Econo lodge ******* on 1-1. 23. I paid 91$ to find my room covered in idk what kind of dust my my son sneezed all night. The next at at 956 my card was charged for ***** I did not authorize it to be charged for *****. I authorized 91$ and I have plenty of money in the bank to cover it. The attendant behind the glass called me a liar multiple times telling me to contact my bank that it declined my card and didn't charge me anything. I have screen shots of this charge still pending. I want a full refund of both nights of 176 .50. ! I have contacted a lawyer.
