“Bed Bugs, Broken Washer/Dryer, and Stale Breakfasts”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Absolutely find another place. Spent over $2,000 for myself and 5 colleagues. One room offered my coworker over 25 bed bug bites in the first 2 nights. Cannot wash your clothes as the washing machine does not agitate your clothes. The only dryer is 'hot wired' so its free, yet you may get electrocuted. For 2 weeks now there has been a "out of order" sign on the juice machine for your paid 'continental breakfast'. The place is just poorly, poorly managed. The only good words I can offer are: The maids are kind, efficient, and friendly. Unfortunately they work at a dump.

“terrible...bloody booger walls are so real...they're gonna get u @ this place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2010

person found this review helpful

Me and some friends came to this trashy place full of meth heads, btw, because we were going to the zoo. it was before december 2009 tho, it was in july. anyhoo, the first room we checked into was hotter than heck and muggy. the ac did not work and the carpet was soaked...i'm guessing b.c the ac had leaked..maybe someone leaked on it, i dont know. the 2nd room had a legitimate bloody booger smeared in several places on the wall. there was also a stain on the mattress. the bathroom floor tile had black spots all over it, there was no ventilation in the bathroom. the walls were paper thin and the ac worked a LITTLE bit better, but not much. they say they dont allow the "undesirables" to come there, but yet all that was there was a bunch of rude people who walked around and talked loud all night and was probably making a drug deal. It was in a slummy part of town...the woman who was working there in the morning when we checked out looked like she had just snorted a line of crack...very unprofessional acting and couldnt even give us directions on how to get to the zoo. um hello, u're right by the zoo how hard can that be to give directions to it? the waffle house by the hotel is VERY VERY VERY nasty and it was recommended to us by hotel staff b/c the continental breakfast was already gone. if u value ur life and the people u're with and have any integrity, DO NOT stay at this trashy motel...unless u're a hooker trying to get work...this is a legitimate review

“Old Place”

Have always been fine with Days Inn. However this place is run down. Bugs in rooms, rust in bathrooms, very poor breakfast.

Ok, some of the issues in these "reviews" are legitimate and some are ridiculous, misleading overstatements. As usual, no one seems to find the time to write anything good at all.
We have had thousands of satisfied guests.
Many improvements have been made at this property.
Yes, the FREE continental breakfast isn't much, it's FREE.
The needle one review refers to was UNUSED and from a glucose meter. The bugs refered to in another are stink bugs, common this time of year and we have had an exterminator spray for them. The so-called bloody booger walls have been cleaned and painted.
Changes in the housekeeping staff have helped greatly and much money has been spent on the rooms and property. We have several things yet to do, but we are trying.
Front desk staff are people "of character" and we attempt to avoid renting to undesireables.
We are not a five star resort hotel-we are a limited service economy class motel.
Nasty, disgusting, terrible and scary are quite colorful and sensational phrases.
I will make this personal guarantee:
Come stay at our property; if you experience a legitimate problem that cannot be resolved in a timely manner I will make it right or refund a portion or all of your money.
I will apply reasonable, common sense thinking, and I will not be played.
Give us an opportunity; I feel certain you will be satisfied.

“Never again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Lousy hotel. This one is ready for the wrecking ball. Its probably 70's vintage and has been held together ever since with caulk, glue, and wire hangers. It was 1:00 so we were pretty much stuck but would have otherwise moved on. We supposedly got a "deal" at $49 because it was already late and he had lots of rooms, and the room does list for $59, but this should be more like a $29 room.

I was a bit put off with having to do business through a plexiglass window, and it made me a bit worried about parking along the side with little visibility. Then got to the room and it was not pleasant. No overt signs of dirt so we decided to stay, but you just know it's one of those places you keep your socks on. The carpets are that dark maroon and black color - perfect for hiding the dirt. AC doesn't really work. It's on, but you can't increase the fan speed and turning the temp knob just wiggled the entire control. Beds are very old but still marginally comfortable. There was one of those 1.5 cup coffeemakers, a mini fridge, and a mini microwave. Nice, but not enough to raise the point value of this room.

This is one of those things that I tell my kids, "it's not the worst thing in the world, but given the other alternatives in the world, why shoot for just slightly off the bottom of the barrel?
