Fine if you're desperate

Overall, hotel was dirty and worrisome to stay in. Did not find bed bugs; did find homeless sleeping on couch in the entryway. Breakfast was available in the morning and waffles were good.

We were in town for a dance weekend. This place is all we are looking for. It was easy to drive to and from venue. The room was clean, truly non smoking. Needs some areas of fixing, but nothing that was an inconvenience. Breakfast was simple, and good. Located next to shopping and eating places. The price was good. Safe place.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room looks like it had recently been renovated but gave a dirty feeling since messes hadn't been picked up up during renovation, ie paint spots on the floors/bedding. Also had dirty towels hanging behind the bathroom door from the previous guest. The staff we did encounter were polite and accommodating.

Staff so kind. Bed comfy. Breakfast good. Check in great. Needs a better up keep-a lot of small things unattended to that distracted. (Paint touch ups, worn/torn carpet, and a few corners could have been cleaner) Well stay again as we are only there to sleep and then have breakfast a couple nights.

I am satisfied with the hotel's service, only that on one occasion the bathtub faucet did not work, what if I am not satisfied is that breakfast starts until 6:00 am, then everything is fine.

We chose Days Inn because of its affordability and it exceeded our expectations. The room wasn’t fancy, but it had everything you could want: comfortable beds, a good TV, digital room temperature control, comfortable chair and lamp, sink, counter and mirror outside the toilet/ combination tub and shower room, coffeemaker and coffee, hair dryer, refrigerator, and even a microwave ! On top of that, a self serve breakfast which included waffles, cereal, muffins, yogurt, bread to toast, juice, and coffee. At check in, we were each offered a bottle of water, which I thought was a nice touch. All in all you will never find a better place to stay for your money ( unless you can stay with your mom 😄).

Extremely dirty , carpet in hallway was not vacuumed in a long time . We got to our room and mirrors were so dirty , the bathtub and shower curtain were filthy , we wouldn't use it . The beds were clean and comfortable . I would not stay again . I did not complain because I just wanted a place o sleep after granddaughters' graduation .
