“Not so great but dog friendly”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed one/1 night with our dog. The place was convenient just off of I95, but that was the only real benefit of staying here. The rooms were seedy and worn out (lock partially broken, etc.............). The exterior looked decent which is what enticed us to stop. The rate was probably $20 higher than it should have been for a comparable hotel (used my AAA discount). Only would recommend if you have a dog and need a quick convenient place off of the highway to stay. We didn't want to have the continental breakfast, as we were just happy to leave as quickly as possible.

Room Tip: suggest checking the room before committing to it

“Fairly decent for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011 via mobile

I liked this place a whole lot better than the Howard Johnson across the street! It looked as if the rooms had been renovated and/repainted. Unfortunately, they didn't do a really good job, for the paint on the door wasn't done too well, and there was mold on the shower head, and dust in the bathroom light fixture as well as the vent. The good: overall the room was very clean, the bed sheets were clean and fresh, the room had a mini fridge, coffee maker, hair dryer, etc. Beds were comfortable, and the staff was friendly. No bad room smell. Great customer service as well. Might stay there again.

“good staff .... but .....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

helpful staff but you get what you pay for on a I-95 hotel ... smelly room, and dirty face towels

“Boycot Days Inn”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I made an on-line reservation from NJ at about 5pm on Sunday Night, Aug 28th, for 1 night. We were driving to SC and needed a place to stay half way. Because of the hurricane, I did my do-diligences and called the reservations # to make sure my reservation went through and that the hotel was not affected by hurricane Irene. Reservations transferred me to DaysInn Customer Care. I told the rep that I was driving from NJ and wanted to make sure my reservation was held and that the hotel was operational, since I was arriving at midnight with my family. They assured me that the hotel was operational and still accepting reservations. So we drove on down, to find the hotel shut down due to a power outage. Apparently the entire region had been without power from the night before. I had no where to go with my family at 1am in the morning. I called DaysInn right away and the best they could do was say "Sorry to hear about that". They would not help me find me another hotel in the area, so I drove up and down i-95 and finally found a Hilton Hotel for $200 more than what I had booked at Days Inn. The Hilton was the only hotel with power for probably 100 mile radius. Even though they were booked, they were very understanding of my situation and did find me a place to stay in their hotel (for 8 people). Days Inn hotel took my reservation during a power outage, knowing they could not accommodate me, assured me the hotel was operation, during a power outage, and allowed me to drive 6 hours into a black out. The best they could do was say "I'm sorry to hear that". No compensation whatsoever. I'll NEVER stay at a Days Inn again. The worst customer service ever.

“What a terrible place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I had to make this reservation online because evacuation was recommended for hurricane Irene. All of the prices looked as if the hotels were gouging because of the hurricane, but the rate for this hotel was absolutely outrageous. But, we had to have a place to go, and among extreme prices for the whole area, this was one of the affordable for us. The lobby was an old, large open room which appeared unfinished with a long counter at the back, It smelled dirty and moldy.
The motel itself was an old 2 floor brick affair with outside access for each room along a sidewalk on the bottom floor and a walkway on the second. Parking was inadequate for the the number of rooms and we had to park along an outside fence, far away from our room. The room had the same moldy smell, the sheets appeared dirty. On of the towels appeared to have been previously used. The Internet kept disconnecting and TV reception kept cutting off.

Even though we had prepaid for two days, our key stopped working at 12:00 PM in the second day. Soon after that there was a power failure (no fault of the hotel) and it could not be re-keyed.

Can't really recommend this place.
