We were segregated by race and then left without power for hours I have checked out of this Econo Lodge But the worst night was Tuesday, September 21, 2026, when the power went out for hours. No AC. No lights. 87 degrees inside the room. What made it even worse is that this hotel openly segregated guests by race. They have two clearly different sides of the building one rundown, one well-maintained. White guests were placed on the better side (Block 4). I was originally put on the worse side. When I went back to the front desk, I told the clerk that I would cancel my entire 7-night stay if he did not move me to the better side. He quickly made a phone call, hung up, and changed my room to Block 4. That should tell you everything they knew exactly which side was better and they knew they were wrong. On top of that, they run three different WiFi networks and segregate who gets the strong signal versus the weak one. Again, white guests got the best connection. Black guests got the worst. The room itself was also unsafe. The safety lock on the door was broken off. And the door itself had to be lifted up in order for it to even lock. When I asked the front desk for help during the power outage, they did not offer a refund or relocation. They simply left us in an uninhabitable, unsafe room with no power in summer heat and could not give an estimated time of when the power would be restored. I have filed complaints with the DOJ Civil Rights Division & CH Corporate
