If I could give negative stars I would. The EconoLodge in Perry FL was the dirtiest, smelliest most unsafe hotel I've ever had the displeasure to stay in. The accommodations were for 4 rooms for 1 night. My family & I were evacuating from Hurricane Irma and rooms were VERY difficult to come by. We were a party of 12 w/4 dogs. If I had not been w/my elderly parents & MIL we would have slept in the cars. The rooms were FILTHY and smelled of urine, heavy smoke and dirt. The "staff" (owners I believe) were obnoxious at best and rude and uncaring at worst. The rooms were listed at $60 on the site, I paid $89 for each. Per order of the Governer during the storm, all FL hotels were to become pet friendly. They charged us $70 for our pets. Then they charged my mom's card for (2) $80 charges? I had made reservations online prior to seeing this hotel for the next two nites which we promptly cancelled (w/in the cancellation time) but they charged me $180 for the rooms anyway. When I asked for a confirmation of the cancellation, I was told "we don't do that" .... What?? And when I showed them the charge coming out of my account (because they charged it the DAY BEFORE the stay was suppose to occur) the owner kept telling me "That's not ME charging you, that's Expedia". Then why did the charge say EconoLodge, NOT Expedia. All in all, the WORST HOTEL. EVER. Sleep in your cars, face a Cat 5 hurricane, sleep on a park bench, but DO NOT STAY AT ECONOLODGE IN PERRY FLORIDA.
