The sink was coming off the counter, the fire. Alarm was beeping all night, someone removed the chain lock off the door, the light socket didn’t work so we had no use of a hairdryer, the location is in a rather rough area.

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.

Staff changed our room from 2 double bed to a king bed when we were traveling with 3 kids, gave us an out of order room that was disgusting. the floor turned our socks black, bugs in the bathroom light, mold on the toilet, missing exhaust fan, missing filter in the ac, the room smelled awful and damp, maintenance was still in the room when we were checked in, everything was sticky.
