Econo Lodge Woodland Near I-5

Room was clean, location is safe, mattress was mostly comfortable. Checkout was easy. I was told to leave my key card in the room. Shower had a wand style attachment which was nice. Air conditioning worked well which was appreciated since Woodland is hot. Parking was safe and right outside the room. Staff was pleasant and check-in was quick and I was able to check-in 2 hours early. TV had a reasonable number of channels to choose from. There was a table with chairs to eat comfortably inside the room. A reasonable sized mini fridge and microwave were included.

I was prepared to give this hotel a 10. Front desk check us in with Military precision, I swear it took 6 minutes. We had just traveled from Washington to Sacramento, we were tired and just wanted a shower and sleep. So, fast check in was a bonus, no small talk just in and out. The room was fine, no carpet on the floor, so looked renovated. Then we heard it, the drip drip drip of the shower (before we showered). We tried everything to make it stop but it was too fast. I'll be honest, at this point I was dead tired and cranky. All our gear was in from the car, and it was late, I had no desire to move rooms so I didn't call the front desk. If this place is family owned and run, they already knew that the the shower was leaking. Unless no one ever went in to clean, they should have been aware. A leak that fast doesn't just start. We tried towels on the floor, a facecloth around the shower head, moving the head, nothing worked. The thing dripped every second. We had the worst sleep (I cried at one point) and will not return. There is no one there from 12 to 6 so there was no one to tell, so I left a note. I wish the Rodeway Inn hadn't closed.
