We did not stay. The room smelled terrible, there were two young boys riding their push scooters up and down the walks outside the rooms and were pretty sure we witnessed a drug exchange right outside our room. The man at desk said we would receive a refund but it isn’t in our bank yet. Very shady place and would not recommend to anyone.

Pictures didn't match the building. We pulled up and parked, took one look at how scary the hotel looked and left. We didn't even stay the night or check in and they still took my money. Hotels.com refused to refund. Will never book through them again and will never book a Days Inn again.
