Couldn’t reply to this query until I came home to get a WiFi connection. Needed maps to navigate unknown city. Useless connection/coverage. Not again. Would pay more if Wi-Fi was actually included in the rental cost but this seems like bait and switch. Receptionist needs to pursue improvement in speech, does not pronounce consonants which leads to misunderstanding instructions.

After trying many other reasonably priced hotels in the area, we found this Days Inn location. We have stayed here periodically when in the area for over a year and it continues to be a good value, clean, quiet and just what we need.

It was convenient for my stay. The room looked clean, and it was small, but a good size. During my stay, we were put in an upstairs non-smoking room. The person under us kept blocking the staircases to get access to our room. He also was smoking, and even with the AC on or off, we could still smell the smoke inside the room. As soon as we got outside, the smell was so intense.m, it hit us like a wall. The rooms arround us blasted music so loudly, we could hear it in our room. I woke up around midnight, and they were still playing. My partner stayed up and was able to still hear the music till 1-2am. They advertised black out curtains, but our room was facing a building with a bright light that still steeped into our room. Dining room was small, but it was kept clean. The selections for the breakfast was small, but good for the price. (Mostly breads) Overall the Room wasn't bad, but the

Decent hotel

Decent hotel. We have stayed here a few times already because affordable. Rooms are recent remodeled. Parking is not a problem. Continental breakfast is basically waffles and toast. Facility needs to add more fruit besides oranges and maybe some eggs or bacon. They should say pastries provided not breakfast. Besides the food it’s a decent place to stay for cheap.
