We booked a stay at the Days Inn last minute through Priceline, because were were going to Mohegan Sun and didn't want to drive home or pay the ridiculous rates at Mohegan. I did the name your own price feature, and was really hoping to keep it around $80, and I did.

We didn't have high expectations, therefore, we weren't disappointed. The Days Inn is in a nice town in CT, so it is in a safe location.

It wasn't up to date, and a little dingy actually, is what I noticed upon checking in. The staff was very friendly, and welcoming. We got our room, and basically it is a place to sleep, with a bathroom and a TV, nothing extravagant. It fit our needs, as all we wanted was a place to sleep for the night.

I was a little put off by the smell in our room, I couldn't pin point it, but I guess it was the smell of old smoke. It was unpleasant, but I got used to it after about 15 minutes of being there. I will say, I did check the bed for bed bugs (I'm paranoid lol)....and there were none. The mattress was new, and the sheets were clean, (I checked everything.) The bed was hard, which was a little uncomfortable, but once I fell asleep, I couldn't tell the difference. The bathroom was sufficient, nothing fancy, but certainly functional in every way.

If you are low maintenance and are simply looking for a bed to sleep in for the night, and keeping the cost down, than this will work for you. I wouldn't want to stay there for days at a time, but a one night thing, no problem. It fit our needs.

The room was horrible! The rug was damp,hot water was intermittent, towels were worn thin and scratchy, stained blanket, mold in bathroom. I could go on but why bother. They need a entire redo. Look elsewhere.

This is one of the worst places I have ever stayed. I stayed here because I was attending a wedding and this hotel was one of the ones blocked for family and friends. Upon entering our non-smoking room we were met with the unpleasant aroma of a room that had been smoked in for years. We ended up keeping the windows open and the air conditioner full blast to try to air which was horribly wasteful and of no use anyway. In addition, there were stains all over the floor, blood on the blankets, some sort of black streaks all over the pillows, and mold on the bathroom ceiling. We considered asking for a different room, but upon speaking with other friends and family who were staying there it seemed that every room was just as bad or worse. My uncle said he was bitten by bugs while he slept, and another relative was so disgusted by her room that she slept in full clothing to avoid having any part of her body touch the bedding. The one positive is that the horrendous conditions of the rooms gave the wedding guests who didn't all know one another something to talk about at the wedding. I have no idea how this hotel is able to charge $130 per night for a room because this seems like the type of hotel that would have trouble charging $50 per night in any other location. I guess there are limited options in Old Saybrook based on the options I've seen on tripadvisor. Bottom line, you couldn't pay me to stay here another night.

Upon arrival the building looks rundown but inside is definately in need of updating and help. My family and I stayed in 2 rooms, both with a strong musty,moldy, smokey smell, very old bedding which was a little creepy to sleep in, (we removed the top bedspread) torn shower curtain, ceing in bat was cracked and ready to come down in some small areas, air conditioers were load and my daughters leaked on the floor in her room. Would never expect this kind of room for $150.00 a night plus tax!..
