This hotel was selected because it was closest to where I needed to be and I knew nothing about the area. It is of typical OLDER Days Inn design, two story with EXTERNAL doors. The "non-smoking" room had been smoked in A LOT and obviously NOT just by tobacco users. Lots of cigarette burns on carpets, bedspread, chairs and nightstand. Half inch ring of mold and mildew circled the windows ( where the edge of the cleaning rag/tool bumped up against the side)
Sign of a quick and spotty corporate cleaning mentality. The vent in the bathroom, rather than exhausting air, was blowing stale, musty air INTO the room. Cable TV reception was poor with interference on many channels. Not sure if there was a special event of some kind or if it is typical of the property but the night I stayed there, there was a constant parade of cars coming and going until about 3am, most of them blaring loud music. Lots of doors slamming, lots of children running about.

I booked my reservations online, first of all I noticed that this is a hotel that has descriptions as being close to Disney World ...hello this is not Florida. I got a special rate thru the internet...should have known better My first room was not the pretty room it showed. The wall paper in the pictures...there was none just dirt and footprints on wall...we turned the beds back to find dirt and grass in the beds and a black substance on the blanket that appeared to be feces also on the wall in one spot. The phone did not work....in which a maintance man tried to fix six times it still never worked. The coffee maker that was advertised being in the room was there with nasty stuff all over the filter container but NO coffee pot...was told they did not carry coffee pots anymore...but I paid extra for these admentities....I did get changed to another room after complaining but at 10:30 the 2nd night myself and my 14 year old daughter and her friend that was traveling with me was all awakened to the noise coming from the room next to us...we called the front desk to find out that the room beside us was occupied by a man that was a contractor staying there and he wouldn't be in till late.....they would have to go to his room and shut the loud television off if he was not in there ....which never happened ......he did shut it down about 1:00 A.M. when he returned, the hotel did not! I was furious this was a business trip for me and after attending Mandatory classes that I had to be at for the State of Alabama as I am a licensed professional in my field of work....I had test that I had to pass each day of class and 6 test in 2 days with this kind of accomadations to stay in was such a disaapointment. I will be traveling againin 2 weeks to Mobile, Al on business but I promise I won't be staying at a Days INN! The staff at this motel was courteous and did try to accomadate but this motel needs to take some time and money to clean up and fix maintance problems.
