"They need a loyalty points system "

I enjoy staying at the EZ 8 Motel Old Town. Recently I regreted booking a 2 bed nonsmoking room because I mostly book 2 beds, smoking. The good thing about the 2-bed nonsmoking was that it offers more towels which makes it "superior." However, as much as I stay at the EZ 8, I had never ran into a problem with the television input and in this aspect, the EZ 8 is backwards: they do not offer in-room pay-per-view movies but they also do not allow the guest to change between television inputs. So if you want to watch a movie on Netflix or Prime or whatever using an HDMI, do not book the 2 bed nonsmoking "superior" and stick with the "traditional" smoking rooms. In my professional experience in the industry, most hotels/motels are integrating as part of their amenities the casting from a mobile device to their smart televisions. So it was surprising to learn that EZ 8s policy is against this industry trend. The staff worked with my concern and accommodated my stay which was a relief. I'd like to give a special shout out to Shonna who always has a smile on her face as she begins to recognize me when I come to check-in/out.

Reservation Canceled due to overbooking

Reserved 2 rooms, 1 for my daughter and daughter in law and the other room for myself, husband and 2 younger kids. We were to pay for the rooms when we checked in. My card on file was charged early in morning the day we were going to check in. That wasn’t so much of the issue because I was going to use my card for MY room. My daughter’s room was canceled because her name wasn’t on the card on file. Mind you I booked both rooms under MY name and I named my daughter as the guest in the second room. I got a phone call from the hotel telling me they canceled my second room because they overbooked and that the card on file didn’t go through because the name didn’t match. They said they had other room available and I told them to go ahead and change the room to my card on file. Problem solved right? Wrong!!! My daughter was going to check in an hour before me and I called to ask what she needed to check in and I was told that there was NO reservation for her and that I ONLY had 1 room. I was told that there was 1 room available but I was gonna be charged the hotel’s rate. It was already 10 PM and at this point I booked the room and charged my card. It was such a hassle because the staff didn’t do their job correctly. After we got that situated and we checked in, our room had NO bathroom door and the handicap shower chair was at an angle and my husband almost slid off. I complained and all we got was “I’m sorry to hear that.”

Staff was absolutely amazing! We got a non smoking room but unfortunately it smelled so bad of weed, we had to sleep with the window open which made us feel unsafe.

First time our card didn’t work to get in our room at check in. Went out to dinner with friends and the new card didn’t work and waited an hour to have the front desk come back to get a new card.
