Christmas has been a joyous occasion; New Years Eve celebrations will soon sparkle upon us. And yet, just as we start thinking there's no better way to end 2021, we learn about a long-time guest who embodies the heart and soul of Stablegold Hospitality's (SGH) mission.
Our final Customer Spotlight this year is on Tiffany Allocca, extended stay guest at Economy Hotel Glenwood.
Mother of seven beautiful children, Allocca is no stranger to picking up the pieces and charging forward. She came to Atlanta in 1992 from Key West, Florida, after deciding to join the Job Corps for help with getting her GED. Unfortunately, she couldn't complete the program. That's when she met her former husband with whom she had five children and then became a stay at home mom. Years later, they were divorced and Allocca met her new partner and had a pair of twins.
Adversity struck again when they broke up two years ago and Allocca found herself struggling as a single parent. "Christmas is a real challenge, making sure our basic needs are met is tough," explains Allocca. "Having to do it by yourself, it's doable but not easy."
There's no time to obscure the mind with self pity, explains Allocca. "You just got to get up and put your big girl pants on. No matter how old you are, you need to find your strength and just go! We can't stop when we got children that depend on us," said Allocca.
The ability to save up for necessities has unfurled Allocca's ability to provide for her kids, which is why she appreciates the affordability factor at Economy Hotel. "It's comfortable here, and reasonably priced. It's within my budget," explains Allocca. "There's money left over to get necessities. The kids are happy."
A strong sense of community has also helped them along the way. "Here at the hotel, we all lookout for each other's kids. We all help each other out as much as we can," explains Allocca, who finds the hotel's GM, Michelle Eddiness, especially helpful.
"Whenever there's a problem she tries to get it fixed immediately. She's never rude with anybody and wants to make it comfortable for you."
If you happen to see Allocca and her two adorable twins lounging about the complex, please join us in reciprocating the love with a virtual New Years toast!
