6.5 out of 10
my room was very clean and mini split HVAC was very good. HOWEVER I have a few negatives.... In spite of only 2-4 cars in the parking lot AND never seeing another person in the hall in a 2 day stay....I was told there were no rooms on the first floor, so lots of stairs and confusing halls....so IF you are older or have issues with mobility, check first Also my remote for the TV did not work at all and manual turn on limited my choices to 3-10 channels Coffee machine in room may have worked.....but part to hold coffee was missing. I did housekeeping in a major hospital ER so small things catch my eye.....bathroom door mirror was quite dirty....Little things matter

I chose the motel after looking at pictures of the place on Expedia, the place looked nothing like the pictures on the website. I was traveling alone and did not feel safe or comfortable. The place was dirty and run down. Had a moldy/dusty smell when you walked in the door. Employees never came into the room to change towels or sheets in the 5 night stay. I had to go to the desk to ask for toilet paper. I would never stay at a Days Inn again.

Talked out of reserved room for smaller bed. Smaller room at same price. Worst room condition but so tired from long drive to complain. Base moldings peeling off wall, smoke detector hanging by wires, worn carpet at bathroom entrance. Mirror on bathroom door moldy looking. Didn't sleep much and left early.

Never Again
The classic example of “you get what you pay for”. Room was not clean with small hairs on the edge of the tub, and don’t expect the man at the desk to want to give you any help whatsoever if you have a problem. Stay here at your own risk.

In a pinch sure.
Good location. Room was okay. However bathroom was dirty and tub was dirty and drain was broken. Staff came into my room while I was out to dinner and took the AC controller. Side by side Rooms share an AC, because I turned it off and the other room wanted it on the remote was removed from my room. Staff member that entered my room felt no explanation was needed. When I asked for the remote back so I could manage the room temp, I was given attitude.

Absolutely disgusting! All they did was make the beds and spray some fabreeze. The floors, bedding, counters and fixtures were so dirty and gross. It looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The mirror, doors and walls were disgusting. There’s also paint chips and speckles on everything. The ironing board had smeared boogers on it. The desk, dresser and nightstand had dried sticky residue. This place deserves 0 stars. I even found mouse poop. The check-in staff was sitting in the lobby on his phone when I arrived. I greeted him first and was at the counter before he even stood up. He said nothing at all, didn’t even explain breakfast times or anything at all. It was also noisy as heck!! You could hear the TV and people in the next rooms until almost 3am. For a place that has 300 rooms and not many guests you could at least clean a freaking room and space out people. DONT STAY HERE.

Room was overall dirty. Air conditioner dripped water all over the desk and floor. Floor was wet. Front desk staff wasn’t concerned. Wouldn’t give us a different room or refund, only a couple towels. Would not recommend this location.
