Budgetel Inn & Suites - Extended stay hotel in Lithia Springs - 1270 Waterford Club Dr, USA

I have been living here for months and the staff is great and if I need something I can go to the front desk if there are ever any problems the staff makes sure that they solve them !!and quickly the only problem that I ever have I feel like there should be a memo about the constant loitering in front of others doors because no one really knows any one or their intentions I had a guy try to get in my room twice today saying he had the wrong room two times but I’m glad there are locks to secure the door that is why my safety concern of complete strangers Standing and loitering in front of others door I understand them passing by but when you’re in your room your curtains are open and someone is just standing there is weird because in the Budgetel policy do not disturb others this is a disturbance to me because I come out of my room and someone is there that is not living in my room is creepy and I have to ask them to leave in nice manner and when I did this on yesterday 8-28-73 I had to call the police because I asked the guy and girl to please leave from hanging in front of my room because as I’m coming out she rolls her eyes and he looks at me with anger I’m like wow you’re loitering in front of my door why are you mad the guy cursed me out and made threats of harming me and I called Douglas county and they were already gone when they got here this screams volumes of saying hey do not disturb others there really needs to be a memo about this !!but other wise than that the room I have is clean and no bugs I read all the reviews and they are wrong about the staff here thanks for the great stay I even met nice people over here

The owner here is quite the Vile person, an Indian woman who also refuses to give her name, even if the matter is positive. It became a negative to her during my stay. For 3 years, they left their elevator's certification expired and only recently got it renewed. As if that's preventing the machine from shaking, shifting, and banging hard on its own track system. Whoever approved that elevator is likely close to the owner, as any sane person would deem that elevator as unfit, especially if they're an engineer. As per the manager, she will say otherwise, no matter if she's correct or not, with excessive ignorance. Now that's not bad enough. Seeing these reviews, they do have a bit of truth to them, unlike the responses. The basic concerns, such as drugs, suspicious people, arbitrary fines, damaged rooms, and unsanitary conditions. Are as follows. My week stay here, had me getting a fine for a Child, which wasn't mine. This was also, given to me, quite loudly as the employee banged on my door quite aggressively, at 12pm in the night, while i slept. The owner refused to accept my explanation that i do not have a kid, and I never will due to medical complications that embarrassed me. She said there is nothing she can do about it. This is quite literally extortion. Not that I'm surprised, as she drove a Ferrari to work. I see she makes her personal profits through fabricated fines. This is true, no matter her excuses or paid 5 star reviews. It's gross negligence. I don't even need to go into detail about the drug activity here. You can easily smell it by walking around. Quite a few bad actors have been seen loitering. One such incident involved a 10 year old little girl, being jumped by a 10 year old boy, and his friends who live in the complex nearby. Completely unprovoked is what most of the locals said. No one was arrested, but the little girl's family, who were the victims, were removed and trespassed, says their neighbor, and an employee. The rooms are hit or miss. Few blemishes, lots of broken things here and there, such as doors or windows not locking. Furthermore, I and Few others have been locked out of our rooms due to either the batteries in the locking mechanism dying or the lock system being busted. I spent 8 hours, after work, in the heat. Not pleasant. Several other tenants have stayed in certain rooms, which had mold in them. That's yet another crime here, as if it wasn't commplace to be negligent. Don't even get me started on the many firings here either. I have seen someone new in the office every day. There are other issues going on as well. Such as random people illegally dumping their trash in the dumpsters. An old man was jumped by people in the woods and robbed. The employees inspect your room weekly, regardless if you're present or busy. They will enter your room, even if you're stark naked. Aside from such invasive inspections. I've already filed a police report regarding a sentimental gold pocket watch I had with me for support. After I left for the local kroger, which was a short drive, I returned to my room 20 minutes later to find my door left open. I find that several common items were missing, besides that watch. Such as food, clothes, etc. Even though it's worth a lot more than the owner, I don't care for the price. It's a memento, and I want it back. The owner refused to provide me with any assistance, let alone the CCTV footage directly facing my door without police present. Considering her employees, not just one, have said that if police are called here 3 times, you get kicked out, I felt as if I was being manipulated into my first "strike" as they already had it out with me during the false fine, I was forced to pay. I was furious. I couldn't take this blatant abuse for much longer. I called my boss and asked if I could take a pay cut to transfer hotels. He attempted to be cordial with them, and they copped an attitude. So he canceled, me and my 3 coworkers week stay, for free, thankfully. We will not return here.

Cancelled my room after about a few days. I was already perturbed by Inspections, but the woman who inspected our room not even a day after we settled in was absolutely frustrated with something as her Aggression, and Obtuse behavior was appaling. It was a Mixed Woman, Afro for a Hairstyle, very short, and skinny. She wasn't just extremely picky, she was plainly absurd. I left paper towels near my Stove, which isn't on, and also has a Timer Pilot light. so not only does it require 2 Knobs to function, she felt the need to Order me to remove them, then demanded other things like she was my Mother, about to get the belt. She also told me to remove my Trash, which was barely filled. She told me to clean my dishes, as I had a single clean plate on my counter getting ready to be used. Said it smelled funny in my room, as I have 2 different Airwicks installed. I had to thoroughly clean the Room myself, as No one cleaned it prior. Dirt on the floor, Dust all inside the AC unit, trash under the beds, Water all over the Bathroom, the Shower was the worst, and smelled terrible. We had to bleach the entire thing! Even then I felt nauseous cleaning it. Back onto this Staff member, she Tried to Cop an attitude when I explained everything to her. Fast forward to about, 11:PM. We see a black male, heavily dressed walk upto out door. My Husband answers it, wondering why was he lingering for so long. The man runs away as fast as possible. Turns out, he was security. We were given a $140 fine, because our room was "Dirty, and Smelled fowl" So I cancelled our stay the very next morning, couldn't receive a refund, laughed, and left. We went to a nearby indoor Hotel, paid a little more, and had a wonderful time at the other location. Whoever that woman is, if she's always going to put her frustrations out on the wrong tenant, and fine them for somebody extremely petty due to her emotions... Good luck handling the person who would Retaliate. 🤣😂

So, it's already suspicious enough the maids don't wash Towels, but I've been stalked by this weird Black man who is apparently selling drugs on the Property, as he showed it to me, and even threw it in the elevator when I told him I don't do drugs. (Trying to, I guess force me to take it) This man, who goes by the name of Maurice apparently. I've attempted to speak with the staff about it, but nothing has been considered, as the man still followed me into the Elevator recently. This has been multiple times, even though I've told this man, to leave me alone I have a husband. Recently, at what I'd say was 3am, this man is knocking on multiple doors on the 3rd floor. Asking if someone can house his sister and her kids in their room. I told my husband to answer the door☹️, and someone else a few doors down begins shooing him away like a stray animal. This was when we learned of his name. Besides him, several other issues have occurred. Such as we have been fine 3 times, because of our neighbor's chain smoking habits. We can't leave a window open, let alone a door open. (Even though some of the rooms windows are sealed with nails) Even though we've paid the fines, it's exhausting, as we're not at fault for these actions. I have never smoked, and my husband smokes in his car. Either way, the don't remain consistent with their fines. First it was $80, then it was $60, and last it was $50. Like, what is going on here.

Worst possible experience. At first it was fine, you get what you pay for. the room is ok for the price. the problem is the fat chick in the front that has the worst attitude problem in the world. we were charge wrongly for smoking in our room. we rolled up some hemp flower in our room (which happens to smell really dank) and we smoked it outside. i get to non smokers the flower can smell like we just lit up in the room, but that was not the case. when i was trying to explain what happened she was like " well the manager approved it so thats that" like saying we dont have a choice or the chance to appeal it with the manager? she would not give me any information on when the manger would be there or how i could reliably contact them. when I asked her if she has contact with the manager, she refused to inform the manager of my dissatisfaction and would not ask them to come to the office so we could have a civil discussion. This girl does not deserve her position and should be fired.

Clean great hotel affordable prices and a safe homie environment friendly understanding staff because I have gotten noise complaints where the complainted wasn't even in there room so staff look and saw it was a lie and didn't get me another false fine I even got a noise fine while not being in my room 😞 the staff is beautiful and supportive and understanding and extremely helpful ☺️ the residents..... 🤔🤯

1--week stay is 368$) dam and they don't have a location in Atlanta area

We have been staying here for a little while now. I am disgusted by the way this place is run. There is one girl in particular that has the worst customer service you could possible imagine. No one cares that the people staying here are people that are going through something and because of the economic downfall that the government has taken people can’t afford to rent apartments or buy houses. I heard the owner refer to us tenants as “these people”. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve stayed here they will kick you out regardless of what may have happened. They have no understanding and just view everyone as dollar signs instead of actual people. At this point they would fee you for breathing. The rooms are okay, the location is wonderful, the community is wonderful but, I just wish they would do better at caring for people and understanding that sometimes people have rough patches in their lives that aren’t expected rather than treating them like they are less than human.
