    Nothing Half of everything wasn't working: lights that wouldn't turn on, outlets without power, the refrigerator, etc. Plus, it was incredibly noisy. At 5 AM, the noise from the highway made it impossible to sleep.

    Nothing. Everything. It's a disgrace, what they advertise the accommodation as. It's nowhere near as good as the pictures (if we had known, we wouldn't have booked the accommodation). We left as soon as we saw the condition of the room, and the hotel in general. It's a horror of horrors. Dirty room, full of dust, the toilet is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen, bugs in the window, the brightness is a disaster, the smell in the fridge, I have no words. Too bad we didn't take pictures (we were in shock). Avoid by all means.

    Proximity to hospital I think people live there. Sounded like someone was playing soccer in the room above me. Called the front desk and he did absolutely nothing. It continued until 3 am. People in the room next to me were slamming their door going inside and out. Again, front desk guy didn't bother calling the room or knocking on the door.I almost left to sleep in my car in a parking lot somewhere else. For the price, I thought it'd be a lot nicer and I wouldn't have any issues.

    Staff was great. This was a shady area. I say the house keeping wasn’t great because they left 1/4 sample bottle shampoo in the bathtub instead of throwing it away and replacing it. I also found black hair on my sheets.. which I’m blonde. But the front desk lady was sweet and very charming!

    Location is bad. Road noise was very loud and we were on the side away from the main road. Room door had a 1/2 inch gap so all the bugs could stay cool. Paint cans and tools were still in the room. Had the clerk come get it and he said it was left by a previous stay but the color on the wall matched the can. The wash clothes and towels were dirty. Asked for clean ones and he did not have any towels. Plus he was burning something in the lobby that smelled illegal. The description of what is available does not say a pool. Because the pool was filled with dirt and made into a vegetable garden. Every walk area was dirty with trash and the back door to the lobby was locked, had to walk all the way around to get in. Told the clerk about the back door and he said it was unlocked, like he wanted to argue with me about it until he checked but did not apologize for anything.

    This place is horrible! We reserved 2 rooms (non smoking), both smell like horrible smoke! bed sheets had burn marks all over them. Furniture had mold. We requested to change rooms and those rooms smelled awful as well. I tried canceling 4 nights and get a refund, front desk was very rude and would not allow it, when I know they can. No breakfast is provided like it states on listing. JUST TRUST THE REVIEWS AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! Ive stayed in 75 dollar hotels 10x better than this one. I will be reporting the mold to the state.

    One side is less nasty than the other. Ice machine is not working, bed had dirty sheets on it, left over curly hairs and noticeable marks of fluids. Carpet was nasty and smelly. I was supposed to stay in a non smoking room. Well that didn’t happened. Hard to sleep since its by the road and you can heard the traffic all night long. The neighborhood its not safe, therefore you can also hear the police cars sirens most of the night.

    Not much unique about this property. Very run down and not cleaned very well. Lampshades in the room were all torn apart and cobwebs coming from them. The room is very tiny and outdated. The only nice thing about the room is the shower. It has been updated and is good. Or at least the room with the king bed was. Alot of noise at night around this hotel and the extended stay patrons have a party at night either in front of the rooms or in the parking lot. Breakfast was very sparse. Towel rack was hanging on the wall by a thread. Ok place to sleep if you have no other choices.

    The staff is great, super friendly, and we did not use the pool but it looked clean and enjoyable. We were late to breakfast so there was not much, but the staff again was very helpful and kind, and let us eat still. The room was clean and smoke-free as listed, and wi-fi worked very well. The bed was very soft, and the A/C functioned properly. The shower was nice and big, but in our room the ceiling had a large wet mildew area on it that looked fresh just above the shower-head.

    This was basically a Motel 6 with a Days Inn sign and price. There were the most basic of amenities. A large black dog was with the staff in the office-maybe for protection. While the staff was friendly and the room clean, the surrounding area was so run down that I would not have stayed had my husband not been traveling with me. My family has used Days Inns for decades and have come to trust that not only are they clean, but the areas around the hotels are decent. We have used Motel 6 in the past as well, and understood, with that chain, sometimes we wouldn't be in the nicest areas. I will think twice before reserving another Days Inn room.

    The coffee pot was not there although (for what reason I am clueless) the filter and coffee was. I almost fell out of the office-type chair that was at the desk because it was so wobbly! My sister did not even want to use the wash cloth on the first night because it was so dingy! Just because a place is old does not mean that it has to be unkempt! Even if rooms have not been used, they should be regularly vacuumed and dusted. All lighting and fixtures/amenities should checked and kept in working order! The breakfast bar could hardly be called that. There was a limited selection--no fruit (they were out); few hot cereal options; a lot of danish. This definitely will not be a location that I would recommend!
