Hair in shower, burn holes in sheets, fridge wasn't cold... the room only has one chair and the bed has one badly sloping side. Cheap stay for a night, but any longer would not do

TLDR: bugs disgusting rooms and housekeepers that will walk in on you in the middle of you being naked while changing after declining their knocks and yells to come in and housekeep, THREE separate times even with a DND sign on my door. I will never stay at any Econo lodge again after this experience. Upon arrival check in was easy and quick- however our room was a smoking room (all that was available when we booked) therefore the smell was terrible as non smokers- there was a burn hole in our bedding, and the bedding is a basic blue fleece blanket a white sheet and a thin sheet like decorative blanket. The blow dryer wasn’t securely attached to the wall and would randomly fall off until I finally removed it. The tray for the ice bucket had multiple burn marks and melted plastic.. these were minor inconveniences compared to the water bugs and ants in the bathroom daily. I had gotten out of the shower and there was a water bug crawling on my foot up to my ankle. I have never experienced this in any hotel or motel stay. All of that is still a minor inconvenience compared to the housekeeper who began to knock on my door my second day there, asking to housekeep for me. I said no thank you she knocked again I said NO THANK YOU and one more time said no thank you and as I said no before I even got the thank you out, I heard a beep and a click and my door is wide open, there is a lady in pink sweatpants and a pink beanie standing there staring at me while I am naked. Unacceptable
