Available & Unclean
Shay Bay Jul 26, 2009
This particular Days Inn Was very unclean. The location was not bad...it was about 4 miles from Busch Gardens, but the area ... made me want to "clutch my purse". The staff was pleasant. The room was dank. I had to spray Lysol ALL over the room to sanitize it. 3 of the 5 lights did not work. The bathroom door stop was hanging off the wall. The reservation office was organized but not very clean. The stairs in the staircase were a bit loose. The Ice machines on all levels did not work.

Days Inn
Keisha Jun 29, 2009
When I first arrived the Key to my room didn't work. When I got that all worked out I noticed that I was placed into a Non ... somking room with double beds when I requested a Smoking room with a QUEEN BED. So they changed the room with no Problem. But I still had double beds. Later on that evening BUG ANT like bugs started crawling up the wall I called the front desk and they sent the Maintenance man up. He "Stated that those weren't Ants those were termites". I once again was moved. Breakfast was O.k. I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to stay there.

Totally Nasty Place!
Tennis Mom Jun 25, 2009
We checked in 6/13/09-checked out 3/14/09 in a.m. Where to start: Our room was dirty-toothpaste on counter/sink, dirty ... towels, room smelled damp w/a.c. on. toilet was clogged when we got there (before we used it). Door didnt shut at bottom all the way (it locked but still didn't shut right). People drinking at pool till late at night-loud. Guys hanging out on steps drinking from 6pm-late. Both woke up with sore throats & bug bites after sleeping there all night. Totally nasty. I informed them when we checked out as well. Not recommended for family or females to stay there alone. Totally disappointed and checked out as soon as we could in a.m.-would have checked out night we arrived but we were in unfamiliar state and didn't want to go anywhere else until the morning and I was sure of where we were.

HORRIBLE! STAY AWAY FROM IT!
ap2003 May 12, 2009
I hated this hotel. It's not safe whatsoever. We had to change hotel rooms 3 different times before the day was over. Men ... were loitering around the pool. It looks totally different from the pictures. We didn't feel safe at all and kept having to watch our backs. A lot of the men who are on assignments are put up in this hotel b/c it's cheaper for the companies. If you're a diabetic, you won't do well with the breakfast AT ALL! The elevator felt as if we could possibly get stuck. And my mom wound up with even worse sinus problems when we left because they didn't clean the vents. We didn't sleep under the comforters or blankets. Just under the sheets. I slept in my clothes! ORBITZ, TAKE THIS HOTEL OFF OF THIS WEBSITE!

The good the bad and the ugly
Pastor Dave May 2, 2009
The internet rate was excellent for me. The desk clerk on duty Tuesday night about 9:00 PM. changed my room to an upgrade, ... queen to king size bed and from ground floor to second floor. It sounded great. Upon opening the door to the room it was hot, musty and smoke smell strong, plus it was obvious the room had not been cleaned for weeks. The room had not been used but when last cleaned it was not through. A place to sleep was all I needed. The complimentary breakfast is amazing, especially during this time of economic hardship for the nation. I commend you for continuing it. A little closer scrutiny on food safety would help in how patrons view it as positive.

DIRTY
Debra Jun 22, 2008
The Days Inn was gross! The first room they put us in had, sometime of bugs on the pillows as well as under the covers!!!! ... i called them right away, they appoligize and told us to come back down to the check in desk. They did give us another room on the oppisite side of the bldg.. we saw no bugs, the first three days. But alot of cob-webs in the corners of the rooms, the mirrors, and tv had a film over it. I cleaned them . I know, I should have called matenance. The light over the sink, took roughly 6 mins to go on. I called maintenace they were already aware of it. i really, really wanted to just leave!! but - we didn't The pool area, was not that great. The trash barrel at the pool was over flowing for 2 days, beer bottles, etc left by by the pool. The whole area around the Inn was so dumpy. My daughter and I didn't want to even sleep under the covers or even lay on the bed spread. So, we went to Target, and bought king size flat sheets to lay right over the entire bed and its pillows and used another bought sheet to cover us. ( We shared one of the queen beds. )
