The bed had yellow stains all over the sheets. We asked for extra blankets but they did not have any, so we slept on top of the bedding the best we could. Overall the room felt dirty with cracks on the wall, spider webs, and stained tub and sheets.

The tub was weird & noisy Fiberglas. What I really didn't like is that I paid for the room on my hotels.com account and was charged by the hotel as well ( they later refunded it) but only after I complained. How often do they do this is my question??? The hotel also refused to give me a receipt when I checked out since I had booked with a third party site.

There's a reason its cheaper then othes

This was absolutely the worst stay at a hotel/motel in my life this place needs to be condemned! It reminds me of one of those pay by the hour motels you see in the old movies lol. We were there for the game it says it's 2 miles from the stadium, its not. Any positive reviews are LIES or submitted by the staff. Beware

Please know this is motel style lodging. There is no elevator to the second level. The room is adequate for sleeping. The bathroom tub and surround were painted and the paint was peeling. The free breakfast was meager, had to ask for coffee cups, pastry was very stale. No one cleaned the room and we had to turn in the dirty towels to housekeeping to get fresh ones. The Comfort Inn is next door and they have an indoor pool. The Days Inn is in a great location for the Expo Center and the stadium. Unfortunately there is road construction right in front of the driveway. There is a McDonald's nextdoor for a quick hot breakfast. There are no lounges or gathering spaces.

Fly Zone

They have dead flies on a fly trap in every room at the front window. It’s disgusting. The shower could be a lot cleaner with signs of mold. The front desk manager implied that I was trying to commit fraud with my credit card as he asked me repeatedly “whose card is this.” First and last time staying here.

Probably best to avoid.

I should just run from the Days Inn franchise. Place was run down and dirty. Shower dripped all day. No hangers, no fridge (but looked like one was there previously.) Location was scary too. Lots of homeless people around. Had to use rides share to get anywhere except McDonalds. Pool was closed and looked like it hadn't been open in a while. No maid service. 2nd worst property I've ever stayed.

Ever wanted to stay in a trash can?

Hotel was dirty, sheets were crusty, towels had stains, wallpaper falling off, the measurements for the bathroom install was still written on part of the bathroom wall. Went to ask for new sheets but we were told housekeepsing wasnt there and wouldnt be back until tomorrow. The next day our sheets were not changed. My key card stopped working and they got angry when i had to go back to the office 3 times to get in. Will never be back to this dump, id rather sleep under an overpass its probably cleaner.

Never checked in! Did not stay! Their computer servers were down. Staff rude, said “ said, what do you want me to do”. Would not call anyone to rectify the situation. Very dirty lobby, trash overflowing. Fly strips hanging inside all room windows. Will contact credit card to dispute any charges-did not step foot in any rooms except lobby.

So many things turned me off about this property. Some of the more important aspects that need to be taken care of our safety and security. Upon entering our room room, the very first thing we noticed was that the door latch was not properly secured to the door that could potentially cause an issue for entering and exiting the unit while it’s unlocked. A big fire safety hazard if someone gets stuck in their room because the latch is catching on the couch plate. Also, the smoke detector was removed from the room, multiple plugs in the outlet and one had sheathing that was cut or torn, exposing wire. The bed was lumpy, toilet head, a mold, ring, dirty lampshade, switch plates and outlets. Both the mini fridge and microwave were dirty, and even though the floor looked clean, the bottom of my feet proved otherwise after taking a couple steps without my shoes on. The linens and towels seem to be clean. Wallpaper was peeling in many places in the unit. Several flies and gnatsin the unit, some dead in the windowsills.

I came for a concert that was at the fair. The room was very dirty, even the shower. The beds are horrible. There was no breakfast. Vending machines were empty. People were yelling down at you from the balconies, which is weird. I was grateful for the location though and I could just walk to the concert because parking was crazy for the fair.
