Find the Cheap Kings Mountain Hotels

Pros: Staff is very friendly,accommodating and caring about our needs. Clean..no bugs Quiet and felt safe. Microwave and fridge in room. Decent wi fi. Plenty of Dinning options nearby. Cons: Bed and pillows were too soft for my liking, it feels like bed is sinking in the middle. Be careful getting in and out of the shower/jacuzzi, it can be very slick and for vertically challenged persons(like me),it can be hard to get out of. But all in all, it was a very nice stay, I would return again.

Everything was great

Awesome staff! Very clean and hospitable. Breakfast is always great! Just a very home like experience. Very courteous to our requests, I have a terminally ill daughter and have do not disturb on the door, so they call to see if we need anything. Love the employees here!

I stayed in room 209 on 1/11. I woke up at midnight feeling something crawling on my neck. I brushed it off and turned on light to see a little ”beetle”. I pulled back covers to find a total of 6 on my pillow and sheets! I felt sick knowing what they must be. I immediately called the front desk and told them to come upstairs. I slid the mattress away from the headboard to discover a full INFESTATION of bed bugs on the bed skirt in all sizes and life stages! By the time the desk clerk got to my room I was grabbing my stuff to leave. She offered me another room and I declined. I immediately put all my belongings in trash bags that she provided to me and told her I expect a refund. She told me the manager would call in the morning. At 1pm on 1/12 no one had reached out to me so I called and was told the manager was in a meeting. At around 4pm I received a phone call and apology for ”you having to move to another hotel in the middle of the night” from the assistant manager. He said pest control was coming the next day to investigate and he would ”keep me updated.” I asked him if he went to my room and he said, ”Yes, but I can't tell what I'm looking at.” I said YOU'RE LOOKING AT BED BUGS! I then told him I was really surprised the manager didn't call me for something as serious as this and he said, ”I can ask the manager to call you if you'd like.” I told him NO I shouldn't have to ask for that phone call. I still haven't received an update on their findings, eventhough there is no mistaking what is in these pictures. Also, I thought I got off lucky with only 1 bite on my face that night. NOPE! 5 days later 11 itchy bites have shown up on my neck, right arm, and right breast. I was really scared that even after washing and drying everything straight from the sealed bags, I had brought some home until I googled and found out bites can take from a few days to 2 weeks to appear. I'll never get over the feelings of filth and disgust waking up to bugs crawling all over you and feeding off of you! It's sickening. I have included all the pictures but I know it can sometimes take a lot longer for them to be approved.

This hotel is very unsafe and unsanitary! I booked a one month stay and here are a few of my personal experience with this hotel,staff and owner. Upon arrival after checking in the first room me, my husband and children went to was disgusting to say the least. A foul smell and the comforters and sheet's had cigarette holes in them. The microwave glass tray was filthy with burnt food stuck to it,the refrigerator was dirty inside and the bathroom had dirty shower and a beer can in the floor along with urine on the toilet seat. The towels were dirty..not stained..dirty with something black on them. I took pictures and went to the front desk and they didn't apologise, only changed my room. The second room was somewhat cleaner, at least the bathroom appeared clean, except for mold on the ceiling and graffiti on every wall in the entire room. There was no smoke detector was missing and pillow cases and sheet's were stained. The refrigerator only worked freezing everything inside.The telephone in the room was plugged in but didn't work. The room keys only worked for 24 hour's. Outside the trash was always full with bag's of trash beside it. As for the safety... I know the owner and staff are NOT concerned about the well being of their guest's. There is constantly drug activity and police on the property daily. As I walked to the store one day, which is at the entrance I looked down and almost stepped on a needle. I have also seen needles in the parking lot along with people doing drugs in the car. I have been approached by different people on different occasions offering to sell me drugs. This was terrifying!!! I awoke one morning to a woman screaming help in the parking lot. There was a young man who had overdosed laying on the ground. Luckily I got his heart beating and he lived. This was a tramadic experience for my entire family. I didn't hear anything from the owner or staff about the situation. The pool was horrible. It was constantly dirty with hair and roaches and a film on top of the water. The sanitary condition alone from this hotel during a pandemic is appalling. There was NEVER anyone sanitizing the pool or room's and believe me, I payed close attention. I would not allow my family to use the pool due to the fact of NO social distancing rules put in place or cleaning of the pool. The roaches are big and small and outside and inside the rooms. When I told the owner about my experience with the hotel..he became angry and loud telling me that I could go to another hotel. He also doesn't comply with the promotion put in place through Choice Hotels and when I spoke to him about my rewards and he refused to give them to me saying I had a ”special” rate. I know this to be untrue because I have redeemed my points for the exact stay before this. Luckily the Choice Hotels associate fixed the problem with my points. I advise that anyone for thier health and safety stay at any other hotel in Gastonia other than Econo Lodge. Actually the owner of this h

So, I don't mind a basic hotel as long as it's clean and safe and the bathroom and beds are clean. This hotel is exactly that. Basic. I was not familiar with the area when I booked it, just needing a place to stay overnight while my daughter attended a horse show outside of town. I'm a Choice Hotels member, so I figured it would be ok. The hotel is likely not in a great part of town, and it shows. Kind of run down exterior, the halls smelled STRONGLY of cigarette smoke and the room doors were a little flimsy-feeling. Only one deadbolt lock option, which didn't instill confidence. The climate controls worked but were musty smelling, but the bathroom and beds were clean. The kicker was upon check in I was required to put down a deposit of $100 against room damages. If I put the deposit in cash, I'd get it back on checkout, but if I used my card, it would be 3-5 days to get the money. Conveniently, there was an ATM in the lobby with a $3 charge to take out the cash. Of course. Checking out took longer than I expected because the clerk had to run up to the room to inspect it for damage before I'd get my $100 back and could go. Staff was friendly enough. We did not try the free breakfast (mostly because we didn't have time to sit and eat once we went through the checkout process, and there were signs posted all over the lobby that food could not be removed from the hotel). I really cannot recommend this hotel, unless you are used to having to put down cash deposits and don't mind the sound of sirens and people running up and down the halls blasting their TVs all night.

newly renovated king room was very comfortable only stayed one night. all staff was very helpful. the pool area was open but heater not working they are in the process of renovating the hotel. we had a renovated room it was nicely done.
