Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was trying their best but the hotel was being renovated and that did not lead to a smooth experience. The elevator was not in operation and I had to haul my luggage up 3 floors. The shower did not work the first night. Seems like the construction workers had master keys for all rooms as they entered my room twice when I was present. I don’t know about rest of my stay

Disaster at days Inn

Clean room? Barely, room was waiting for demolition, the hotel was going through remodel, with complete demo of empty rooms. Furniture was beat up and old. I was amazed that he TV and Frig. worked Phone didn't work, Wi-Fi inconsistent, Lamp not working, no cups/glasses to use, bathroom looked terrible, peeling paint, cracked floor tiles AND the floor was WAXED! Shower had build up on walls and shower head. The sink and toilet were clean. Bed was comfortable, great pillows but was right next to the A/C . Breakfast was instant oatmeal, old apples, some granola bars and little cartons of OJ. Coffee was Folgers, but I could not get any when I was trying to checkout! That clerk refuse to let me in. Took the keycards, promised to email my charges! Not sent yet! I must say I had no recourse but to stay there. Checkin clerk was nice enough, next morning clerk had coffee and food? out at 6am. Oh yes, being right next to the Freeway was a nice touch too. The outside hallways were completely dark at 6am, no lighting at all, makes using the stairwells an adventure! Looking for a lawsuit? Parking was okay, though watching workmen use their machines around my car was worrisome and a foremen parked right behind me! Blocking me somewhat.

This was a complete disaster of a motel...don't even know where to start, except maybe ask for a refund first...not one picture of this place on the website is a true representation of the actual property... it is torn up from the floor up. All 3 floors I can't believe it was a Wyndom property, the bed was might as well been concrete, bathroom disgusting shower and tub tv hanging half way off the wall I fixed it properly didn't want to get charged having them think I did it. The staff was friendly though I'll give them credit for that. The breakfast was a joke...the whole property has construction equipment around it and carpet in the room was disgusting.

My only drawback was that there is repairing and I imagine updating going on. My room area was going to be next in repair/updated. Trust me, it is ready for that. I know many people may not have realized but you had to pay Close Attention to the faucets in the bathroom sink and shower. If you didn’t pay Close Attention, they would continue to leak water. So I learned the best way to turning them completely off. Your front desk personnel were extremely friendly and helpful. Great people.
