The door handle was about to come off there was burn holes in sheets fire alarm not In ceiling and room smelled like cigarettes smoke when it was a non smoking room.
I would not recommend this establishment for accomodations. The staff does not answer the phone when you call.The room was dirty, the air conditioner cover fell off the unit, the toilet paper holder fell apart from the wall... not to mention 2 big roaches sighted in the bathroom! Apon our arrival for check in it took staff 20 minutes to even help us.We called from the room at least 4 times to complain, but never an answer. We were charged a $50 deposit when we got there... I had already paid for the room prior to our arrival! Not happy at all! Do yourself and your family a favor.... book somewhere else!
Had to call the police to check in. The lady at the front office claimed she could not give me a room despite me providing her with proof of reservation. Was rude. Once the police showed up she magically found my room
This place absolutely did not meet my standards based the pictures posted on the site. My first room was horrible. The wall had a big water stain and mold on it, the wall was falling apart. There were roaches, sewer flies and spiders in the room. It smelled awful. The fridge was leaning and also had bugs in it. The tv did not work. The floor was sticky and dirty. I went to the front to be moved. The second room was better, but still had an awful smell. One of the beds had cigarette burns in the blanket. The bathroom door was damaged at the bottom and taped together. The aesthetic of the outside just looked run down and unkept. It is across from a recovery center so I believe some people live here as well. The parking lot had broken glass in it. The front door of the “lobby” was broken. It was just overall terrible. My kids didn’t even want to take a shower. I will never stay here again.
Woke up with bug bites. No heat. No toilet paper. Loud neighbors & outside until 5:30 am. People living at Hotel. People coming and going all night long. Burn holes in bedding. Dirty room. $74 way overpriced. Rude
No toilet paper air conditioner kept falling part no rags bed very loud curtains barely sealed the window room 138 toilet have burn marks an the mirror
The husband and wife that run the hotel is nasty..They talk to you any kind of way..They're very unprofessional..They have no customer services skills..My toilet ran and over flowed, water was everywhere and I had to get it up..They have roaches and lil net's flying around that rooms..They have a Sewer problem...
Living conditions there is not good.. Condemn the whole hotel..
Upon doing research on the internet for pet friendly locations this location was recommended. I booked on hotels.com and proceeded to check into the hotel. After traveling all day I failed to see the sign on the window "no dogs" I assumed all was well seeing how the website specified "pet friendly". I was never asked if I had any dogs nor was it addressed online for an additional fee, of which I would have paid. I got settled and while bringing my dog (boxer) into the room, my boyfriend was approaching the room when the lady in the office (red box braids) yelled. "Y'all gotta check out, you can't have dogs here". Meanwhile he enters the room to tell me we have to leave. We immediately started to make other arrangements to take our babies elsewhere. About 10 minutes lapsed when there was an extremely hard bang on the door. Upon opening there was a black car with 3 occupants and the office manager. My boyfriend trying to explain we were preparing to take them somewhere. She was very demanding and aggressive outside the door. Telling us it was too late and she was deactivating our room key and evicting us. I called the police and because it was her demand we were threatened with trespassing charges and had to leave the property without arrangements to stay somewhere. Now we are 5 hours from home and on the streets at 12am. I don't think this is the policy or ethics of Days Inn. I've stayed at many nice Days inn hotels and never experienced anything of this magnitude.
I hardly ever leave a review for anywhere but felt the need to do so. This was just for one night so no big deal, right? This place has non running partially dismantled cars in the parking lot (more than a couple). The rooms are outdated. There were visible holes. The bed coverings had several obvious cigarette burn holes. You might say I could have asked for another room but I highly doubt it would have been any better. This is not a place I would recommend at all. I am not extremely picky like some but this was definitely not a good choice. I knew it was not the Hilton but this doesn’t even deserve the ratings it has been given.
