The price was right and it was comfortable
Pros:

Breakfast was okay, pretty typical. Would like to see bananas

Cons:

The hotel room was annoying, it was difficult to unlock unless you followed a specific routine of pulling the handle and door towards you first

Issues
Pros:

There wasn't anything that stood out above any other hotel I've ever stayed at

Cons:

The room had patches of different colors on the wall, I'm guessing from were they had to repair from other guests, the room had a gross odor, kind of like someone had just gone to the bathroom in the bathroom just before I came into the room, but the smell stayed in the room the whole time, the none of the shampoo the conditioner or the body wash actually created Suds when you're using it which I mean conditioner is not supposed to but it took a huge amount of conditioner just to get my hair to actually feel like it was conditioner in it, the pool is way too tiny to actually be fun, me it might be okay for a little kids but it takes about one second to swim across it and it would be nice there was a hot tub, the breakfast in the morning I looked up on the TV like what the breakfast was supposed to be like and they said they're supposed to be bacon and eggs and omelette and Waffles but there was no bacon and like there was no scrambled eggs just the weird on what things that had a piece of egg and a piece of cheese in them but nothing else, it would be nice if there was natural omelette station where they had like onions or different things you might want to put inside of your omelette rather than just having a cheese omelette, it just everything was kind of half-assed it seemed like, and then my card quit working halfway through with my stay so I had to go down and get different one, son I mean it was fine since I was inexpensive room, but it's still your spending a decent amount of money to stay somewhere and it definitely was not a place that made me feel like God I just can't wait to get back to this place it's really nice it's really inviting here, at the end of the stay it just felt more like I think I'll try a different hotel next time

Clean, comfy & friendly staff, but needs some updating.
Pros:

It was clean, quiet & a good location. Very friendly and welcoming front desk staff…..Rachel & Stephany have great customer service skills! The breakfast also had a great selection of hot & cold food options.

Cons:

It was dated & needs some upgrades and updating. My husband and I are really tall people and had to bend over to wash our hands, toilet wasn’t tall enough & the tub was worn down in spots, the sink also drained very slow.

Pros:

The staff were wonderful! They were very attentive and I would recommend to family and friends. This Days Inn restored my confidence in this Hotel chain. Previous experiences were less positive
