Well, I thought for the price that I paid, which was not a lot, but I still expected a clean room. I walked around the room in my socks on carpet for about 1015 minutes. The bottom of my socks were disgustingly black needless to say I put flip-flops on for the rest of the stay. I went ahead and not knowing and paid for both nights and once I was in the room and noticed the not so clean room, I took a shower and the water drained. I felt like I was taking a shower and a bath at the same time. Actually, when I first walked in, there was not on which I understand but the room was smell so musty mildewy. I didn’t see mold, but it sure smelt. I will not ever stay at this brand of a motel hotel again. I understand the no cancellation policy I get that but if you expect me to spend the second night in that same room, It was just disgusting dirty carpet. I guess I’ll just have to lose the money, but I will not ever stay in a place that called “days inn”
One of many places that the drywall was pealing.

The bed looked very clean. But the room had a horrible smell. Front staff didn’t even attempt to explain how to find my room. I had to walk around in the dark, searching for the room number, since the small numbers weren’t lit. It turned out my room was located at the back end of the property—something they easily could’ve told me. The “breakfast “ was a bar of crunchy. Rather disappointing stay.

Pool closed, had I known I would NOT have reserved the hotel, that was the one thing we wanted. Beds are HARD and uncomfortable! Total appearance of the property was DIRTY! Breakfast…what a JOKE! Tub needed a wrench to turn off the water, toilet would run until you giggled the handle. Floor in room was wet next to bed! Spanish only maid not able to inform of need for towels, or leaks!

It is what it is, low-priced and few if any frills. Clientele a bit sketchy as well. Though the staff was nice and at the front desk was very good. The room was not much but didn't expect Taj Mahal!
