“An abomination”

2/2 found this review helpful

I picked the lowest rating only because there wasn't a choice that went into the negatives. The rooms looked like they belonged to a 3rd world country brothel at best. When I exchanged the linens myself (they were unwashed and full of cigarette burns), I noticed my mattress had several stains-from what I hope I never know. The toilet in my room was not attached properly to the floor and every time I used it I had to balance just right to keep from spilling its contents all over the floor...not that anyone could have noticed anyway. Each employee only seemed capable of displaying contempt toward customers. I booked a non-smoking room and some how wound up with an ashtray and a wonderful hacking cough every morning. To top it all off, the coat rack came out of the wall and almost smacked my wife. When I asked the manager if he could put me in another room he threatened to kick me out all together. After checking out early (who in their right mind wouldn't have), the manager refused to refund me. He said he'd rather go to court than refund me the money for the nights I didn't stay. I'm a service member who was in Virginia Beach for training and the manager couldn't find it within himself to treat me or my shipmates with integrity, let alone respect. Please take my advice when I say you'd be better off sleeping under your car in a gocery store parking lot than this poor excuse for a hotel.

The room was immaculate. I could find no fault. Best value for the price. Staff extremely professional. Night staff went above and beyond. Cleaning staff needs a raise! Quiet and in safe area close to shopping and First Landing State Park where I spent my days. Great place to stay for travelers to First Landing who don't really want to sleep in a tent.

“What a dump!!!”

Travelodge Bay Beach

1 of 5 stars
Connelly Springs, North Carolina
May 29, 2006
10/10 found this review helpful

I was very disappointed in this hotel. The outside had a nice appearance, but the inside was old, musty and nasty. The room appeared to have never been vacummed properly and the bedding was old and rotten. I booked over the internet (nice picture of rooms) and was told that I could not be refunded. I went to a local Wal-Mart and bought a set of sheets and a room deodoriser just so we could be comfortable enough to sleep. A true "dump" in every sense of the word. I also had several personal items that went "missing" but of course no one had any idea what could have happened. Every time we left the room, (which was as often as possible) we re-packed the car just to make sure "we" did not mis-place anything else. My advice...STAY AWAY!!!

“Ripped Off royally by owner”

Travelodge Bay Beach

Oct 24, 2002
30/34 found this review helpful

We were charged over $1,100 for 2 rooms for 2 nights.

We were only suppossed to pay $642 total.

Trying to resolve this with the owner turned out to be a nightmare. I hope my credit card company can do something.

This is a warning to anyone staying at that Econo Lodge watch very carefully what you are being charged.

Better yet, stay some where else.
