We came across the Beaver Dam Days Inn quite by accident. After a long, tiring Saturday we decided to extend our stay with a 2nd night in Owensboro, KY. Due to the baseball tournament in town, there was not a vacancy to be found in all of Owensboro. So we headed toward home, south on the William H Natcher Parkway (who? Originally called, quite logically, the Bowling Green - Owensboro, and later the Green River Parkway, before giving way to Kentucky politics). At the sole toll booth, near the northmost Beaver Dam exit. we asked about accomodations. The toll booth attendant gave us directions to this Days Inn set in the quiet grasslands of Western Kentucky. It was well worth driving the few miles in the "wrong" direction. The manager greeted us with a smile and gave excellent service that lasted until we left the parking lot the next afternoon. We found #204 to be a clean, comfortable, spacious room overlooking the spotless swimming pool and adjacent grassy field. If you would rather your room face the parking lot, ask for an odd numbered room. I immediately noticed the unused phone jack beside the desk, perfect for plugging in and checking my e-mail. At the more expensive place we stayed on Friday I had to run a 25' phone cord across the floor from the desk to the bedside phone. A large table and chairs beside the window is convenient, but more light in the room is needed to provide a good place to read after dark (although the bathroom is great for this!). My wife bemoaned the lack of a coffee-maker, microwave and/or mini-fridge; methinks I have spoiled her. (Coffee is available in the lobby 24/7) The beds proved to be very comfortable. The bathroom was well-designed, with a built-in hair dryer, an actual solid lid covering the commode and a vented exhaust fan. When you get hungry, a Wendy's Restaurant and a Denny's Diner are an easy walk (within 100 feet) of the lobby. For cheap snacks (although a "pop" from the machine down the hall just cost 75¢), just drive or hike a short distance down the road to two mini-mart gas stations, a BP on the west side and a Marathon on the east. Oh, and a continental breakfast is included with your stay. There are more good things I could point out, but suffice it to say that we will definitely go out of our way again just to stay at this fine establishment.
