Had to ask for 2 days for more towels . Housekeeping only came when it was convenient for them. Non smoking rooms all smelled like smoke.

Upon arriving there is broken glass all over the parking lot. In clear signage. It was 3 pm check in time and no one was at the desk. Assign Read have a seat in the lobby and will be back shortly. Bathrooms are locked. We waited 30 minutes before someone actually came never apologized for the wait even filled out the early check in and told them what time we’d be arriving. Even completing early check-in you have to redo the process standing at the desk. The halls and elevators smell like marijuana and cigarette smoke. When telling the front desk about someone smoking marijuana in a room on our hall there was no urgency to address it. Seems that long term stay is priority. The entire hotel needs upgrading or simple repairs. The breakfast, if it can even be called that is awful the food is old and dried out, limited options and quantities. There is no extended time for breakfast on the weekends. The pool area is atrocious old in a very odd room that smells terrible. The pool is murky and taken over by rude kids unattended by adults. You have to have a special key card for the pool and exercise room. They do not offer it to you at the desk even though they should when you check in and it expires long before your stay is up and they don’t tell you that either. There is a a sign on pool room door you have to get towels from desk and the desk said towels were in pool areas and they were not. It was like pulling teeth to get towels. People loitering after dark.
Booked here for a short stay at the beginning of my daughters treatment for brain cancer. Parking lot had broken glass and trash everywhere. Checked in and went to find our room, very rundown appearance, hallways had garbage sitting in them. Surfaces in the room were filthy, the room smelled of old wet laundry and the bathroom was dirty. The bottom of the tub had cracks and large black spots in it while the walls of the shower were caked with dirt. Went to the top floor to see the pool/arcade area but couldnt stay up there for more than a few minutes. The chlorine smell was so strong it burned the nose and throat. Ended up going back downstairs and checking out immediately. Booked at another hotel for the stay.
Where to start. The staff was rude. Our first room was filthy, stains on the carpet, shower head was held up by zip ties and the carpet was coming up off the floor. Changed rooms, there was a whole in the wall bigger than my fist, no water pressure in the shower and breakfast consiste of stale donuts. Absolutely awful.
It wasn't the worst place but it's run down. It wasn't the cleanest. The room smelled off and the free breakfast is terrible. Positive side the bed was comfy and anything you could need is close by. Oh the inspection on the elevator was overdue
*Warning - hotel kinda scammy. The building is called both Baymont AND Days Inn (they get different reviews that way!) Shame on Expedia for not verifying with SO many bad reviews.
1. No hot tub (filled in with concrete)
2. Sparse breakfast - no waffles. One slice of crispy stale bread left. Basically just donut holes, boiled eggs, cereal, apples, and plain oatmeal packets.
3. Nasty brown-stained sheets.
4. Crumbling bathroom
5. Private fenced patio outside room - filled with beer cans and fries!
6. Loud guests
Good-ish things: Pool water was warm. Receptionist nice. Price decent.
AC/Heater didn't initially work. Room was at about 50 degrees when I got there. There are a lot of weekly rental people here from the community. Felt more like a half way house.
