The room was good but needs a little TLC. The bed was great, good hot water in shower, furniture needs upgradebut overall it was a comfortable stay. HOWEVER... i was dissapointed in the breakfast, it was pretty skimpy. Waffle mix was runny, sausage links but no eggs, no biscuits and gravy. I have had a lot better in other Days Inn locations.

Not the worst but far from the best
We did the pre check in which was nice thinking it would save tome which it really didn't. Still had to sign paoers etc that id already done online. But not a hude deal. We get our room keys and went to the room opened the door and someones things were already in the room. Hurried up and got out of there. Went back down to front desk and they seemed confused. The front desk even went up to the room and yeah someones luggage everything in the room. So we had to wait for them to figure that out and give us a different room. Then get the new room only one washcloth and two towels in the room(there were 4 of us) in a double room. So when the kids went down to pool i had to ask for more towels. There were also no towels in the pool area. I also asked for an extra pillow because the pillows were tiny. More like throw pillows than bed pillows. But was told they didn't have any extras. There was stuff on the walls in the bathroom too.

Lobby and hallways had overwhelming bad smell. I couldn’t breathe. I got the room and the bed sheets had human hairs and stain on it. They gave me another room and it had very strong sweat and musty smell, I thought I was going to throw up. They gave me another room which was okay compared to the last two but it didn’t have microwave. So I had to go all the way to lobby area to heat up my food. Over all it was a terrible place. I understand this isn’t luxury hotel but at least clean room, hallways, and lobby area would make a big difference. I would not go back and do not recommend anyone. If you pay few dollar extra it would worth staying somewhere else. Rather than staying at this stinking place.

The bathroom light did not work and there was water on the floor. I spoke with the attendant. He came and offered to mop the floor. Did not offer to fix the light. We opted to stay, however the water did return. Guessing there is a leak which could be dangerous without a light. As a Wyndham associate, was disappointed. The charge for a dog under 25# was quite high, but I even understood that. Property was basically well kept except for the above mentioned items. Amenities were lacking. No frig or microwave in room.

I know it was very cheap, there could be plastic or foam drinking glasses in the room. The room smelled horribly of cigarette smoke. The poor desk clerk was embarrassed for not being at the desk when we arrived. He was taking out the trash. You need to hire more help.

The motel is old, but that's no excuse for how dirty the location is. The bedding was horribly stained, mold in the bathroom, broken chair, breakfast was a crockpot full of sausage, old cereal, white bread for toast and make-your-own-waffles with an incredibly dirty waffle maker. The place smelled of vomit and weed. Staff was nice and all this is beyond them. Wyndham, do better.

I wouldnt know how the room was. I booked the room last minute while traveling. When i got there hours later i wasnt able to check in. According to expedia, if you book through them you have to have a certain amount on your card for a hold. That was not noted during checkout. So my two kids and i slept in the car, because the manager would not help.
