Economy Inn Brunswick - Motel in Brunswick - 5272 New Jesup Hwy, USA

I've been here for the better part of 3 months, currently saving to get a home. It started off well but as time went by I started realizing the front desk Indian woman is very much Racist. She racial profiles saying we cant be outside because she wants to maintain a safe environment for her guest. When in fact we pay 325 a week and are guest as well. Yesterday we asked if she could reprogram our keys she took both keys and proceeded to yell that she knows how to handle "you people" and handed us ONE key. My boyfriend and I both worked today so he took the only key being that we are on different shifts and he had to be to work first. I propped my door open this morning leaving with my kids to go grocery shopping so we could get back in. The Indian woman waited until we left to close the door all the way so we couldn't get back in knowing we are checked in until Wednesday and she only gave us one key. After 45 minutes of standing outside of our room door she finally came down the hallway to let me my 4 children and our 2 arm full of groceries inside stating she made us wait because how my boyfriend reacted after her calling us "You People"the day before. I guess that was her way of "handling us people". She even harassed my guest that were only staying long enough for me to use their laptop last night by following them to my room asking if they had a room here or they not allowed inside. and yes they were indeed black.

The front desk clerk asked if I wanted to see the room before checking in. She stated it wasn't fancy but it was clean. There was a horrible smell in the motel from what smelled like burning trash. After looking at the room we decided on trying to find another room local. we did not want to pay $80 for a room that had no coffee anywhere on the premises. The clerk advised that she could not hold the room. So after looking at the booking we decided we had to stay there because it would have cost $60 to cancel reservations according to booking.com, that's another story all in itself. Do not recommend this at all for anything. We did not even take a shower because it was so nasty. The best part about the room is that it was quiet and I was able to get a few hours sleep.

We stayed here because our other hotel overbooked us and this was literally the only thing available, I now see why. The place reeked, the water tasted nasty, the sheets had stains and cigarette burn holes. The fridge also did not work. The most concerning part was the door that lead into the next room with nothing but a dresser in front of it. Very sketchy people coming and going also, felt very unsafe to us. I would recommend sleeping in your car over this hotel.

The check in was quick and stated that the phone in the room may not work. The room was clean and tidy and the tv was a great size 32''. The bed was soft and sturdy but the pillows were worn out and clunky feeling. The motel was only 55.00 including tax but it was a quiet and peaceful stay so that was a plus. The door had a small gap where you could see light outside the door from the inside. Great hotel just needs an uplift. I seen no bugs while I was there and no coffee in the room neither. There was no blow dryer or iron and ironing board.

It wasnt a bad place to stay for the night. The only thing that bothered me was the other guest were letting the door kind of slam shut during the night. Luckily the ac helped with that noise. No breakfast only a machine. We didnt have a microwave in our room. But overall for a night it was nice.

They were clean and available at 4am. the attendant was nice and let us look at the room before booking. It did smell like cigarettes in the lobby and hallways but the rooms themselves didn't have an odor.

I stayed here for almost a month. After coming from another hotel that was horrifying this hotel proved to be much better. There were no roaches or bugs. The shower was pretty bad with mold in the door crevices and the mat but I wore flip flops in the shower and dealt with it. No pool and no other amenities. Overall I had a decent stay at this hotel.

DO NOT STAY HERE! This place is consistently the least accommodating place I have ever stayed. Definitely do NOT stay there with children. Area is dangerous. The prices online do NOT reflect the ACTUAL prices which are higher when you check in. The rooms and hallways smell awful. All around terrible experience. Get much better value and service right across the street.
