Checked in at 1pm & checked out at 8pm same day because I feared for my safety staying overnight there. Was a large group of men hanging out all afternoon in the parking lot and in front of their rooms, drinking and carrying on and it only got worse as evening came. I decided to get the heck out of there when a few "ladies of the night" showed up and the the group of men followed them to various rooms. This place was loud, scary, and had quite a bit of questionable activity going on. My advice if you have to stay in Madera -- stay across the street at the Holiday Inn Express. I've stayed there twice - nice room, great beds and no scary creatures hanging around day and night. The only reason I booked a room at Days Inn was because I had my dogs with me, but this place was too scary, even for my dogs!!! Called the manager the next day to ask for a refund and after quite a few heated words between us, he agreed to refund me half of my room charge. Another classic case of you get what you pay for....the room is cheap - $55 - but I'd rather pay twice that amount to feel safe and secure. I was scared leaving my vehicle in the parking lot for any length of time not to mention myself.

Upon arrival we were met by a very unfriendly counterperson, in a not very pleasing lobby. Our room was located upstairs convently located by the stairs (no elevator). Luckily we didn't have much luggage. I knew we were in trouble a soon as we open the door...a musty smell greeted us and a very dirty carpet. The first thing we always check is the bathroom and this one was barely passable (mildew was minimal), but the toilet was clean. The sink was also passible but not the Ritz. Looking up over the clothes rack was a spider web that looked like it had been there since the last century. Most webs are almost clear and hard to see, but this one was black and hanging from the ceiling and wall. The bed also was as old as the building. After a restless night we went down to the lobby for our "complementary breakfast" and found stale donuts and instant coffee. Needless to say, we won't be staying at a Days Inn again.

found this place to be very much a mixed bag...on the plus side location near freeway , nice clean pool and very nice and accomodating staff,,rooms were clean with micro and fridge, but water pressure in shower was laughable , toilet seemed to be threatening to overflow at each use, lawn chairs at the pool looked and felt ancient- the whole place was still generally okay, but needs some tlc to head off further decline.

I stayed at Days Inn hotel in Madera, CA., just north of Fresno, CA. because I didn't want to stay in Fresno itself. This is an older hotel and the bed was probably the original from 20 years ago. I actually chose to put my air mattress on the floor and sleep on it instead of waking up with a sore back. For $60.00, I wish I would have spent another $30.00 and stayed at the new Holiday Inn Express next door. I'm suprised Days Inn puts its name on this facility. It's in need of a renovation. Starbucks coffee is right next door.
