Good, clean, no-frills motel that I stay in for business once a year. I could stay in more expensive properties but choose this one for cleanliness, value, and location. Other guests are relatively quiet, at least the times I have stayed.
Room was clean. Has semi truck parking. Close to restaurant and convenience store. Nice staff. I’ve enjoyed my stay so far
While I normally stay here, this time was a little ridiculous. After arriving I noticed there were no linens (towels/wash cloths) in my room. The other issue I complain about is the WiFi. There should be no reason to log in every 24 hours. The lamp on the desk could not be used safely. The bulb would tighten, but the holder would continue to spin around.
Its not $65 a night, but $75. I thought it was worth every penny. Big beds, many pillows, and a quiet little getaway when I do business in the area! Plus they have a waffle maker which is dope!! Staff is super friendly! And the maintenance guy is super helpful! Not to mention a walking distance away from crakel barrel! Hell yea. Plus they always give me the room that i suggest when its available. I will ALWAYS come here when Im in the area!
So after an absolutely horrid experience at the sunrise motel, my husband and I came here, the nighttime concierge Will was absolutely amazing to us, he took the time to get us extra everything. We are driving back to Florida so it's quite a long trip. Will definitely deserves a raise because he takes his job very serious. Kudos to him for going to school as well. He definitely deserves a promotion. We did urgently check in a disastrous night was fixed. Thank you days inn. If we vacation again I'd definitely say we'd stay here again.
I just want to say the best customer service I have had in a long long time. I had a problem with my daughters and realized I needed an extra night at a hotel as a result. The hotel I was at was fully booked so went the hotel across the street and asked if I could please rent a room and would need it as soon as possible (I had a dog so needed somewhere to keep her). He was so caring and immediately grabbed a key and personally checked the room to make sure clean and in order. Absolutely lovely man. Room is basic and clean. I stayed in room 112. From what I gather there are “better rooms and others”. The price was great. Honestly wished I stayed here the other two nights. Would have saved over $150 vs Quinta. Thank you again for helping me.
Its a good motel to stay having luxurious rooms and calm atmosphere around.They staff received us well and their service is good
I surprised to see how clean it was in the room. The area that the hotel is in not that great and usually places go down with it. But that is not the case for this place. The night I was there it was quite there was some suspicious stuff going on between a few cars in the parking lot but nothing that made the place feel unsafe.
The rooms were clean, every room had a mini fridge and microwave. The hot water for showers was great. It's not the prettiest place but it worked to sleep in on our trip and was affordable.
Absolutely nothing was open,,,no breakfast,,,no fitness equipment like says...candy machine didn't have a single piece of candy in it the whole week.....ice machine broke....But $1.00 sodas were always super cold
