This hotel/motel is not that old. Yet, it has the feel of a 40-year old Holiday Inn. I had always thought that the adages about Holiday Inn towels were over exaggerated....not true. This Day's Inn had towels that actually had HOLES in them - worn into them.

The grounds around the building were not clean and garbage was seen in the outside halls between buildings.

The room itself smelled a bit moldy as a result of unclean filters in the A/C. Although clean, some TLC was needed around the bathroom plumbing - shower, etc.

This is not to mention a drunken couple that were checked in next to us which ended with a broken arm and one party being taken into custody - handcuffed. I was the one that stopped the incident and ensured 911 was called. All I received from the franchise owner was a nice - "thank you."

Not my favorite place.

We received a very warm greeting when we arrived at the Days Inn. The desk clerk was exceptionally nice. We were in our room within 5 minutes of arrival. The room smelled like mildew. It was very damp in there and I believe no one had been in the room for quite awhile. We called the desk clerk and she sent up a can of room freshener. We asked to be switched to another room, but no others were available like the one we were staying in. So, we dealt with the new strong smell of air freshener. An hour later we filled up the whirlpool tub and turned the jets on. The air must have been sitting in the lines for awhile because a very strong odor of sulfur (smelled like rotten eggs) came out. There was a few hairs on the tub. Besides that, the bed was pretty comfortable.

My husband and I go to Hardy once a year. It is only a two hour drive, but we enjoy changing our four wall occassionally.
The Days Inn in Hardy is in a great location, easily found, close to the antiquing and restaraunts. Rooms have always been clean, if a little noisy with other visitors coming and going. The continental breakfast always runs out...but we are late risers. The jacuzzis are a little outdated, but much welcome after a day on your feet going from shop to shop, or fishing. Decent value with lots of convience.

Lobby clerk was very rude, coffee cups in room were dirty, ceiling was peeling, Internet was down, ashes in non-smoking room heating vent. Dirty in general. When we mentioned this in the moring, the only response was a glare from housekeeping staff. Shortened our stay by 2 days. Should have checked out after we saw the room! Stay away from this hotel. Name brand apparently is worthless.
