I was wary to stay at a Days Inn after usually staying at Marriotts and Hiltons. I was pleasantly surprised. It is a solid three-star hotel. The staff, however, was five-star. The place was clean, quiet and in a decent location.

I stayed six nights in September, 2010, a solo woman traveler. They picked me up at the airport soon after a phone call, and took me back my last day. Service was all round good, WiFi fast, and I felt safe there even though a bus driver told me it's not the best part of town. I both took the bus and walked along the river to downtown, I wouldn't walk the river after dark. In the morning, there were pleny of runners. Taxi to/from downtown is quick and cheap. The bus/Google transit works. Next door is a Mexian restaurant that also serves American favorties, it's clean, convenient, inexpensive, the people are nice, and the food is good enough. A couple blocks away are more fast food and sit down restaurants. My only disappointment was that the pool was not heated, frigid, boo hoo. I asked for a smoke free, pet free room and got one with no odors. A very nice stay.

This was our second stay at the Days Inn, Sacramento. The first time was great. This time, however, when we arrived after driving for 11 hours, we found the hotel lobby locked and a "back in 10 minutes sign." Ok. So we waited and someone did arrive to help us. She was pleasant, friendly and mildly apologetic. We asked for a Non-Smoking room, but apparently it must have been surrounded by smoking rooms. Walking down the hall to our room, you could see the haze and could hardly breathe from all the cigarette smoke. It was unbelievable. Our room was clean and spacious, but cigarette smoke was literally coming in under our door. It was really frustrating. Then, we discovered that the refrigerator did not work. It stunk and obviously hadn't been working for at least a couple of days. So much for storing our soda and leftover dinner. We had to throw our leftovers away.
Lastly, there was one light fixture missing a light bulb. Not a huge deal, unless you're the one sleeping on that side and you wanted to read in bed.
I don't know what happened in the 7 days from the first time we stayed there (which was great) to the last time we stayed there (which was disappointing.) But I just don't know if I can recommend this place now.

Liked the cleanliness of room. Quiet and comfortable bed. Very good breakfast included in the price, my children loved the make-it-yourself waffle.

It had wi-fi, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, hair dryer, iron with ironing board inside the room. service was prompt and friendly.

will definitely visit again. actually i am going there in 2 weeks time.
