“Don't overlook if budget is a concern!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
4
people found this review helpful

I needed to book a 10 day trip to ATL for a downtown tradeshow. A quick Expedia search showed 13 hotels downtown from $77 - $359 a night. You guessed it - the Days Inn was $77 after which the price jumped to $179 for the next least expensive option...a Hilton Garden property, and the prices went up from there.

I wanted to keep my expenses down for this trip out of respect for my client but I was a little concerned because no one wants to stay in a cheesy hotel for 10 days straight. The reviews for this place were skewed to the extremes...either they liked it or hated it...but there were enough positive reviews to make me feel comfortable enough to give it a chance. Here are some details:

- Check-in took about a minute
- My room was clean and "serviceable"
- There wasn't a heavenly bed, but it was comfortable with plenty of decent pillows, and clean newish bed linens that stayed tucked in
- The rooms could've used new wallpaper, but it wasn't terrible...just older
- The bath towels were not huge and thirsty but neither were they old and thin
- The TV reception was weak and snowy so bring movies on your laptop
- The free breakfast was fine if you're a carb junkie (I'm not) with pastries, donuts, bagels, cereal, and biscuits, but they did have fresh apples and bananas
- They need to either take the fitness center off their website or revamp it. There is a stairmaster that works fine but the other 3 pieces of "equipment" are broken relics. BTW, there is a BodyPlex just 3 blocks away that offers a travelers pass and it's perfect
- From the front desk to housekeeping, the employees were just as nice as they could be - Vira, Otha Joe, Gigi, and the others were personable, efficient, and made my stay extremely pleasant!

Final verdict - If money is no object, then stay at one of the higher priced digs. I've stayed at them all over the years. Are they all nicer? Well, yes. Are they all worth 3-4x the price of the Days Inn? Absolutely not. So next time you're traveling on biz to downtown ATL and want to save a few bucks, then give the Day's Inn a try. If you're pretty well grounded, then you'll appreciate the value. If you're part of our country's entitled society, you'll be happier elsewhere.

If you aren't concerned about it being a 5-star hotel, then this is a good place to stay on a budget
the hall and room had a very bad odor. The room was stuffy. I would not go back to this hotel.

“Extortion”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

My wife booked the room for one night at a cost of $78. Everybody was real nice but it took a long time to check in. We were in town for my wife's graduation from WGU with her masters degree. So after driving 6hrs she was told there was a $15 a day parking fee. My bank acct. was charged $20. We were never told when making the reservation that there was a fee. It is not listed on their website. Infact the days inn Atlanta Marietta website says free parking. If you are going to charge this fee you make sure your customers know in advance. I feel like it is pure out extortion. They knew the hotels were booked up and that we had no choice, but you can be sure that this injustice is posted on every social networking website. $20 of greed will cost you a customer and thousands of negative post may cost you several more.

“Clean room, reasonable price, but not modern”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Room was clean, staff were nice, breakfast was okay (fake bagels, real cream cheese, fake orange juice, cereal, milk, coffee, cheap pastries, etc.) The hotel looks like it was built or renovated in the 1970s. My room has a fridge and microwave - very convenient! Yes, there is noise - engines and sirens, typical of being in a city. Interestingly, when I called to reserve the room, I was told the rate was around $120 but that I could book it online for $65, which I did. Why do they do that? Google Maps does not have the location correct; it is on the NW corner of Baker and Spring streets. There is a sign on the building, but it is not illuminated so the hotel is hard to find in the dark. The check-in clerk said "lots of people have trouble finding it". Then why don't they shine a spotlight on the sign or sign into Google Places and fix the listing? I didn't find bedbugs or anything gross or scary. The photo above is correct except that the big blue Days Inn sign on the top of the photo is not there.

“Compliment Email I sent to General Manager.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

I was wanted to let management know of the great customer service I received from Debbie and Viera (I think that's how you spell her name).
I arrived without a reservation around 4:00pm on Saturday Jan.28. I made two reservation via my smart phone, but was told by the location that there was 3 reservations under my name. Well, they handled the situation with such professionalism and patience. They put me at ease and let me know they are taking care of everything. They even had hotels.com on the phone with them trying to rectify the issue.
So I just wanted to applaud them for being such awesome professionals. We need more people like them working in the the service field. They're the few who know how to do their job.
