“This place is a safety risk especially if you have family”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2008

people found this review helpful

We were going cross country seeing different sites and this hotel was one that was close to the Andersonville Civil War prison site.

We stayed here because the name was familiar despite it being a branch. The pool had been shut down by the health department and it was still half full of green algae and other nasty looking stufff.

The carpet was so dirty, anything that touched it turned black. There were bugs in the room that I couldn't identify. It was getting dark and me and my family (two small kids had no other place to go). Once it got around 10pm, the parking lot turned into gang banger central with drinking and shouting going on until about 5 am. At one point, some guy pulls his pants down and urinates in front of the hotel room. The only thing that comforted me was a gun I had brought for protection. I did not sleept at all that night. We fought with the owners over a refund. They gave us some 800 number and we complained with them, and were promised a refund. It never came.

We apologize for taking so long to respond to your comments. We are just learning about Trip Advisor and wanted to address your concerns.

We are very appreciative that you chose our brand to stay with while visiting Americus. We are also very sorry that your experience wasn't satisfactory.

Since purchasing the property, our pool has been a serious challenge and after spending thousands of dollars, we are confident that our pool is in good working order and our guests enjoy it every day. I am also CPO certified and care for the pool myself.

We have an active carpet cleaning process as well as pest control procedures to prevent this type of occurence in the future.

As far as the gang bangers, we have tight controls on what goes on at all times on the property. This isn't to say that we couldn't miss something now and then but I think we do a pretty good job when a guest brings something like this to our attention.

As far your refund, if you would like to give us a call, we would be wiling to discuss this situation further.

Thank you very much and we hope you give us another opportunity to serve you in the near future.

Jay

“***Warning don't stay here...Filthy, Nasty and disgusting***”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2008

My girlfriend planned this trip because of my recent graduation. The pictures on the website are very deceiving. This place is a dump. Upon checking in I notice a sign on the counter that read.
1. No loud music. 2. Don't steal from the rooms. 3. No illegal activity permitted on the premises. etc... My first thought was this, if these common sense rules has to be stated then this place is not for me. Upon entering the room I notice a group of guy's outside my room drinking and playing their music very loud...no shirts on and using profanity. If I wasn't going to my room and if I were to see them on the streets I would turn the other way. Upon entering the room it reaked with a strong moldy smell. Immediately I felt I needed to shower. Entering the bathroom was an experienced within itself. The bathroom was very cramped and unclean. The shower curtain needed to be changed because it was filthy and towels were very limited. My girlfriend checked the sheets to ensure they were clean because of the filth of everything else. All night long people outside of the door were hooping, hollering and cussing each other. Sounded like domestic violence was being committed right outside of our door. After bearing it through the night I was awaken by at least 5 cop cars in the parking lot holding drug dealer types at bay. Needless to say we ran out of there not looking back at all.

“What a dump!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2008

person found this review helpful

We had just stayed at a Days Inn in Savannah, Tennessee, and decided to book one night in Americus. What a mistake! There are cracks around the door jam - no telling what vermin can get in. The bathtub is filthy. No bags in the trash cans - no cover over the styrofoam coffee cups. No way I'm using those. The place stinks. The walls are marked up. We need to get through this night and will get out of here at daybreak, if not before.

“Dump @ the Days Inn”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2007

people found this review helpful

I was there for three days, two nights. It was a dump!There were no trash bags in the trash cans. Towels/washcloths were limited,had to go to Wal-Mart to buy my own. The shower curtain was stained with mold, the inside of the tub looked as though the NASCAR race had just taken place, the bathroom reaped of urine, no iron in the room (you had to go to the front desk to borrow the ONLY iron that everybody had to share). The outside was well-kept, but the inside was a joke, I mean literally. After driving six and a half hours to get there I was tired not to mention disgusted. Temperature was like a 112 degrees. Had I canceled the reservations without a 24 hour notice, I still would've had to pay for a one-night's stay, so I said what the hell I midas well make the best of it, but I was gonna make damn sure that I let everybody in the world know about this particular Day Inn. But let me tell you, first thing Sunady morning; I checked out of there so fast you 'd probably thought that JASON was in my room with me the night before.

  • Liked — There was a microwave and refigerator.
  • Disliked — It was a dump!

“OK”

We stayed the night in May 2007 the room was clean and comfy and we got a good nights sleep.
We had a ok breakfast (nothing hot apart from the coffee) but it got us started for the day.
The owner and his daughter were very helpful as we were real out of towners and they were really nice and even lent us a bottle opener to have a couple of beers.
The hotel is not brilliant, but not bad either (certainly not as bad an experience as the other person)
We felt we got value for money
