Days Inn by Wyndham Bradenton - Near the Gulf

It was all good

Roaches, place stinky, not a safe place.

Our stay at Days Inn Bradenton - Near the Gulf from May 23–25, 2026, was without question the worst hotel experience we have ever had.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was unacceptable. The hotel requires a security deposit, and according to the information clearly displayed on Booking.com at the time of reservation, this deposit should be returned before departure. However, more than a week after check-out, we have still not received our refund, nor have we been given any explanation regarding the delay.

We specifically booked and paid for a non-smoking room, yet the room assigned to us was overwhelmed by a strong cigarette odor. The smell was so intense that it made the room extremely uncomfortable and raised serious concerns about whether the non-smoking policy is actually enforced.

The problems did not stop there. The air conditioning barely worked, making it difficult to sleep comfortably. The television was also not functioning properly. Whenever we attempted to contact the front desk using the room phone, our calls went unanswered. It felt as though guest concerns were simply being ignored.

To make matters worse, basic toiletries that are commonly provided by even budget hotels were not available. Housekeeping staff knocked aggressively on our door around 8:00 a.m. while we were still asleep, creating an unnecessary disturbance and showing a complete lack of consideration for guests' privacy and rest.

On our very first night, our room key card was unexpectedly deactivated despite having paid for a two-night stay. We were forced to return to the front desk to have the issue resolved, causing additional inconvenience and frustration.

Overall, this property failed to meet even the most basic expectations of cleanliness, comfort, customer service, and professionalism.

There was no shampoo, soap, or conditioner in the bottles. They take a copy of your ID which I think is odd.

Staff wasn’t very friendly!

No Elevator age 68&81. Didn't feel safe people living their was told could pay week to week to live their?? Thats why I think I was charged 100.00 security fee. Soone said my room number in check in small office. For security you dont do that.Smoking pot smells. And my room requested was no smoking but it smelled like cigarettes cause people outside room were smoking cigarettes and pot. Big dogs staying in rooms barking very lound. I'm allergic we where sneezing all night. Room over pool dirty,people smoking by pool. Birthday Day Party 12PM lound and no privacy. No place to sit by pool. Windows looking over pool dirty and in very bad shape. Light bulbs missing from lamp. Rv parked in back along with painters work trucks. Telephone filthy dirty. Bathroom shower curtain poor condition water all over when you took shower. Cleaned up floor towels filthy dirty. No iron or board. No drawers for cloths. Paint peeling in shower ceiling. Beds not comfortable. No shampoo or enough soap had to request next day.. Not enough towels or rags to clean up water. Had to request more. So didn't have enough to dry myself off with. Just VERY DISPOINTED WOULD NEVER STAY AGAIN OR RECOMMEND.

Area was a little unsafe looking

Drug motel

After booking a room, I walked in and the lady at the front desk said I had to pay a $200 deposit, I'm asking her Why and what she's talking about? I booked this online... She then gave me an upstairs room, I explained that I had just had a baby 6 months ago, Ihave to bring in bottle holders and seats, so going up and down stairs wasn't going to work. I FINALLY got her to switch it, I then get to that room the A.C was unplugged, so I plugged in. It still didn't work. I rated 20 minutes for maintenance to get there. Which never showed up, I had to walk all the way up there and back to get a new key after she switched rooms again!

In this room the microwave doesn't work. The bed is like a bucking Bronco. Literally, every time you lean forward. The whole bed comes up. It won't stay attached to the head board..

The whole experience is just ridiculous. I just wanted a cool place for the baby relax and rest, couldn't do either!
