“Dissapointing”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

I thought days had standards, sadly I was mistaken. I stayed here despicte bad reviews as they accepted dogs and were in the AAA guide. I've never been one to complain over things like a free breakfast, but the walmart jug of juice, cereal and loaf of bread doesn't quite cut it for contenental breakfasts anymore. The room was dirty, and had to call staff to come clean the toilet. Regardless of how much cleaning was done it probably wouldn't get any better, I felt awful leaving my dog there. We would go out for dinner etc, and then talk about how much we didn't want to go back, moving to another hotel wasn't an option with the dog. The entire hotel needs updating, don't let it's exterior fool u. It was extremely warm walking into the lobby, and the rooms were pretty hot too, we ran our A/C the whole time dispite the odd noises coming from it. The creepy part was the family that run it, one side of the hotel was boarded up and converted into a family home, so there were always people lingering around the front and outside who were friends of the staff. For the most part the staff was friendly and helpful but in a Bates motel kinda way

Room Tip: Keep the A/C running - it'll help flow some air and keep the smell down. Keep all your luggage z...

“Avoid this hotel, try any other hotel in Monitcello”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

45 minutes prior to the end of the continental breakfast there was nothing left except for the end pieces of the loaf of bread and stale cereal. Nothing was replenished between that time and the end of the service.

other complaints:
-no hot water in the morning.
-room was falling apart:
...wallpaper peeling
...water stains on the wall from the window
...outlets falling out/off the wall
...room was damp. (room 112)
-The coffee maker had to be placed on the floor to be plugged in.

When I complained about the lack of food/service at breakfast, the clerk told me I should have told them. The front desk is 3 steps from the breakfast counter, and nobody was monitoring the food at all during the entire service. I don't think it should have been my responsibility to let them know that they are running out of food.

The clerk did not offer anything until I asked for a discount on the room. All he offered me was a measly 10% off the room for an unsatisfactory experience.

Staying at either of the two other hotels in Monticello, the Best Western or Super 8 would have been a much better alternative.

Room Tip: Rooms at the Super 8 or Best Western are a better choice.

“Average stopover hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

Overall this hotel was very basic. Rooms were clean however the bedding was in need of updating. Breakfast was basic but sufficient to carry us to lunch. I would probably look at alternative choices next time.

“Awful .. but cheap place to stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2011

I was disappointed as I always thought the days inn would be fairly consistent across the board. The air conditiner ran but all the controls were broken so I couldnt turn it up or down, so we froze all night. The continental breakfast was awful. The smell in the hotel was putrid, old smoke, I have never experienced that before so that was a turn off and made me believe the hotel was not vented very well. All the furnishings were from the 70's. I called for extra towels because there was 5 of us and the desk clerk told me to come down and get some if i wanted.

“I crashed into bed after long drive”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2011

After driving for over 12 hours, I was dog tired and needed a room. The desk clerk had a very thick accent, but I was able to understand her enough to barter with her and I got her to lower the price to down to $49.00. Other than noticing that the room was clean, I can't really give much of a review because I totally crashed once I got there. I own a memory foam mattress and usually find motel mattress' too firm for my taste, but like I said I was dog tired and just crashed for the night. I left very early the next morning without even finding out if they had a breakfast or coffee. Sorry, I can't give much of a review of this motel other than to say that it was clean which is most important to me.
