When I arrived to check-in, the desk clerk notified me that the hotel had to "give up" my reservation because the c-card I used expired at the end of the month when I booked.
Why they didn't run it immediately is beyond me.

My beef is this. I called 1-day before my arrival to confirm the reservation and asked if my information was received properly. I should have known trouble was brewing because the woman I spoke with was terse and unfriendly. I gave her my Confirmation Number (which is a joke), but given her poor attitude she either, a) failed to review and/or understand my reservation, or b) didn't bother and only claimed to look it up. Either way, she made no mention about there being an issue.

On the day of my arrival, they said they attempted to contact me after they ran my card. Even if that's true, I find it baffling that they'd wait until the day of my arrival --while I'm up in the air-- to notify me of a problem. Their idea of a Confirmation Number is laughable. The only purpose it served here was to confirm that I DIDN’T have a reservation.

If you're considering the Daze Inn in Council Bluffs, IA, do yourself a big favor and move on.

The room was aweful the carpet was torn and puckered in spots, there was mold all in the shower. I didn't notice until the next morning when the blankets were off the bed that the box springs were full of stains most likely from dogs lifting their legs. I was afraid to look at the top mattress and just wanted to get out. The price of the room should have been lowered due to the condition of the room. We could hear people all night and dogs which we didn't realize was pet friendly.

This hotel is very convenient to the casinos, just go under I-29 and you are at Harrah's. We needed to have a boarding pass printed for the next afternoon flight, but the hotel desk clerk was unwilling to help. We asked about a printer, and she indicated that the hotel provided Internet access throughout. Unfortunately, my printer just won't fit into my luggage. When I asked whether she would help us, she mumbled something about the manager being back 'maybe' in the morning, as this was a Saturday and the manager may / may not be available on Sunday morning.
We went across to Harrah's hotel, bellied up to their counter and the first desk clerk was more than willing to help print the boarding pass.
So, if you stay at Day's Inn, go over to Harrah's for your printing needs! (Just don't tell Harrah's where you are staying!)
Another concern was the television remote control. It was the cheapest knock-off ever, without a keypad to punch in a channel. Only an up/down scroll for the tv, and that was slow at best.
Carpet is worn / dirty. Hotel needs a good carpet cleaner.

This is an older hotel that has been kept very clean. You can tell when driving up to the hotel that they have tried to keep appearances neat. At check-in, the desk clerk asked for my credit card and drivers license (no problem). He then started to the photocopier which I informed him that he did not have my permission to photocopy my driver's license. I'm leary of this because of identity theft. He complied with my request. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Beds were older double beds. Most hotels have updated to queen beds. Rooms were not real roomy but comfortable as we were attending the college world series and knew we would not be at the hotel much. Except for doors banging in the hallway, quiet hotel even though by the interstate. You don't hear the interstate noise. Overall, good hotel for the price especially if not spending a lot of time in your hotel room.
