Days Inn Fort Worth-Stockyards

This particular hotel is not in the Stockyards. It is 10minutes north of the stockyards. The entire hotel smells like cigaretts. The staff speaks poor English. The brakfast consisted of some coffee, juice, and 2 choices of cereal with a toaster and bread available. There is not any ice or vending machines. This is more like staying at a super 8 and should be a $30-$40 value.

There was no maid service. Breakffast was cold and mile and orange juice was warm and left in open containers. The internet service did not work either...by and large...very poor.

Flew from Michigan to Texas for the NASCAR race. Booked the room in April 2010 for 5 nights. Called on 10/25/10 to verify room was indeed reserved and was told IT WAS. Arrived on 11/3/10 and was told they had no reservation for me and wanted ME to call [...] to straighten it out (I think not). Not only were they VERY UNFRIENDLY they also de-activated our key after four nights and again was VERY UNFRIENDLY when I explained we paid for 5 nights and was not leaving until the following day. They finally in an UNFRIENDLY way activated our key but NOT ONCE EVER APOLIGIZED FOR THEIR MISTAKES... like I said we will never be staying here again!!!

Room was old. All rooms marked non-smoking but entire lower corridor reaked of smoke daily. Bathroom door falling apart. Old fridge. No microwave. No fitness area. Continental breakfast had small apples, danishes, apple juice, very very watered down orange juice or they were out completely, milk, coffee, dry cereal, bread & butter. Business center was an old chair and old desk and a computer in the breakfast lobby. Staff used a paint can to prop open doors to the lobby. No detergent available for purchase, we were directed to drive to the store to buy some to use laundry facilities, $1.25 ea for wash/dry. Outside entry doors were marked locked 24hrs for guests safety, but both entry doors pull open and are not locked to outside foot traffic. Mattresses were old and you feel the springs. Stay only if you need a place to crash, not a nice place otherwise.

The lady at the front desk let us check in 15 minutes early. When we entered our room, there was a man sitting on our bed. Apparently, his wife (the maid, who wasn't in the room with him) just cleaned the room and he was waiting for her. The room was clean enough, but the bathroom was in need of renovation. Nothing too bad, but a bit on the shabby side, I guess.
