Quality for your money

The location is great. The continental breakfast is everything you need. Rooms are clean and well stocked with all the essentials - coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge, wifi, etc. Internet is free. PRICE WAS PERFECT. Nothing special about the hotel, just nice, normal quality for a much lower price than other hotels in a comparative location.

Days Inn Downtown

The Days Inn is in a convienent location. If you want to go out, all the bars and clubs are within walking distince. The breakfast provided was very good containing cereal, begals, and waffles. We only stayed one night to attend a concert and the only problem that we had were some guys being loud in the hallway in the wee hours of the morning.

Pretty good value for money

I went to Raleigh for attending a career fair and hence stayed only for 1 day. Some points about Days Inn: - Good location, near Greyhound stop, CAT bus stop and bang in the middle of Raleigh downtown and price wasnt too bad for that - Rooms were clean although the selection of tv channels wasnt that great - Staff were pretty helpful and the coffee in the room wasnt bad at all - Walls were pretty thin though, hence felt a little lack of privacy

Clean, comfortable, convenient.

Desk clerk was pleasant. A nice surprise - the room was less $ than I'd paid. I assume my credit card charge was appropriately changed. The microwave 7 fridge were convenient.

Beyond my expectations

We checked into the room which was clean and up-to-date. On amenities... you know, hair dryer, frig, microwave, coffee maker. King bed was comfy, and sheets and bedspread were spotless. Bathroom was clean, good water pressure, plush towels, and free shampoo/conditioner. Breakfast was free, with juice, coffee, cereals, fresh fruit, and the now everywhere waffle machine. Very quiet at night. Central location to downtown, we walked everywhere to museums, govt. buildings, and great eateries. The two NC state museums, history and natural science, are a must visit. IMAX and the kids museum are also close. The State Farmer's Market is something to visit and bring home great produce. I will stay at this hotel again.

Great value for the price. Quiet & clean

Great hotel value for the price. I forgot my toothpaste but was not aware that I could get some from the front desk until my last night. Needs to have a note in the rooms, to remind guests. Breakfast is continental, very basic, but adequate for my stay. Loved the WiFi - it's really free! Thanks Days Inn. I was able to do 12 hours of work straight all night without loss of internet service.
