“Horriffic Experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here for homecoming. Horriffic experience. Management was indifferent. Our room was broken into while we were out having dinner. It appears someone had a key as there was no sign of damage to the doorframe or anything. Management reaction was that we were not telling the truth, and they told us we could not get another room because they were booked for homecoming. We ended up paying to stay in another hotel not located so near the university. We eventually got a refund but we were extremely disappointed with the management response to the situation. The hotel is in a great location to the university and I think they take advantage of that fact. Would never stay here again. Also I wrote this same review about a year ago and checked back to see all my reviews and somehow this one never got published. Weird. Not recommended!

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. I am sorry about the experience you had at our Days Inn. Clearly, we take our guests' safety and security seriously. Allegations of theft of guest's personal property are very serious and normal procedure would have been to report the theft to local law enforcement.

Our guest room "keys" are actually electronic swipe cards which are uniquely programmed for each and every guests who checks in to the guest room. The locks themselves have the ability to record each swipe and access to the guest room with a time stamp. When we are made aware of a possible theft, the hotel can pole the guest room lock and print a log of all activity in the last 30 days. This log can be provided to the police as evidence of who accessed the guest room.

I am sorry that the staff did not handle your issue well. Further, as the hotel was full we made the situation worse by being unable to accommodate you with a different guest room.

I am pleased that we honored our commitment to guest satisfaction by having refunded your money.

Hopefully, you will see fit to give us another chance to serve you when you travel through Harrisonburg next time.

Michael

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010

We arrived late afternoon, the hotel was very busy, and the receptionist was very helpful.
Lovely double room with bath and shower, flat screen TV and a wonderful sea view!

“nice place for the price”

This is a nice hotel for the price. The pool is just a little to small. but the room was nice. I had a room on the 4th floor. It had a desk and a couch it was a nice room. The only other thing that I did not like was the spa was not hot it was just warm. The front desk people was verry nice. very close to JMU.

n behalf of our hotel staff, I am writing to let you know how delighted we were to receive your kind words of praise.

Given the very nature of the hotel business, the hours are long and demanding. Day or night, good service depends upon people willing to give their very best at all times. That's why it's truly rewarding when a guest recognizes our staff’s efforts, and takes the time to say thank you.

We're committed to total guest satisfaction, and we look forward to your next visit.
