Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple guests reported stained sheets, dirty toilets, dirty/soiled pillows, hair on bedding and general unsanitary conditions; one guest noted spotlessly clean rooms under new management, but overall cleanliness concerns dominate.
Service
9
Several reviews praise very friendly, accommodating staff and new management going above and beyond (assisting with room placement for kids, clear check-out/breakfast info); one report of a rude manager charging extra lowers consistency but overall service sentiment is strongly positive.
Location
8.5
Multiple mentions of a convenient, quiet location and being close to needed destinations; location is consistently cited as a positive factor.
Room Quality
4.3
Frequent complaints about very small/cramped rooms, connecting doors and thin walls causing noise/privacy issues, plus visible stains and poor room condition in several reports.
Amenities
4
Pool was dirty/unused and should not have been advertised; TV/remote and signal problems, broken shelves/iron unavailable, and problematic A/C placement reported — overall amenities performed poorly.
Value for Money
7.8
Guests note the hotel is cheap and acceptable if you only need a place to sleep and several mention good price; however, cleanliness and room-quality issues reduce perceived value somewhat.
Food and Beverage
7
Very limited commentary: staff provided necessary information about breakfast and no major negative reports were made — overall neutral-to-slightly-positive due to lack of complaints.
Overall Experience
8.2
Mixed overall: several strong positive service and new-management reports (including extended stays), but ongoing cleanliness, room-size and amenity problems left other guests disappointed; net experience leans positive when weighing exceptional service and location.

Disappointing, pool was dirty
Pros:

Convenient location and good price.

Cons:

Part of the reason for choosing Days Inn was for the pool which we were later informed was not ever used. The pool was dirty and clearly not maintained so should not be advertised as a feature of the property.

Not good
Cons:

When we arrived at the location, the hotel did not look anything like the pictures shown online. We were also unable to check in at our scheduled arrival time, even though we had previously been asked what time we would be arriving.

Once we were finally able to check in, we discovered that our room was a connecting/joint room with another room where other guests were staying. The guests in the other room were making a lot of noise, and they were moving the handle on the connecting door, which made us very uncomfortable and concerned about our privacy and safety.

The cleanliness of the room was also unacceptable. The sheets had stains on them, the chairs had crumbs and did not appear to be properly cleaned, and the toilet was not clean and had visible stains.

Overall, the condition of the hotel and room was not what was advertised, and we did not feel comfortable or safe staying there. We are very disappointed with the experience.
