Days Inn Midland

The location of this place was in a very run-down section of town - tattoo parlors, boarded up businesses, etc. I was accosted by a panhandler at the entrance. The room itself was pretty dirty - various parts of the rooms had obviously not been cleaned in a while - the sink, mirror, etc. There was no remote and the doorknob for the closet was gone - I did get another remote, the staff were actually very nice. Bottom line - I've had much worse, but the location is the real deal breaker.

This place was pathetic. Locals coming in and out making noise, banging on doors. I suspect there was some drug dealing going on due to the obvious smell of MARIHUANA my daughter and I were subject too while staying at this CRACKHOUSE MOTEL. DO NOT STAY HERE, IT IS PATHETIC. We left at 1:00 am due to the nosie and smell of POT.

Visited with family. Had to change rooms due to lack of maintenance; door would not stay closed, lavatory lights flickered, lavatory faucet spewed water. Second day continental breakfast bad and told person at desk and was told it was not her responsibility but the owners.

The hotel itself was relatively nice. However, it took us forever to get checked in because the hotel was not able to retrieve the funds we had prepaid to Orbitz. They said this happens all the time. They also said that their normal rates were cheaper than what we booked online. After an 8-hour drive I couldn't care less about the price, and I wasn't even a little bit pleased about the wait. Then the room was HOT when we got in there and did not cool down til the night was almost over. On top of that, the beds were kinda hard and there were some idiots drinking by the pool and making all sorts of noise to the point we had to go confront them about it. All these things put together, when we needed rest to be up at 5am to go bike 75 miles, was awful. Like I said, the hotel seemed nice enough--it was clean and the staff was nice...we just didn't have a good experience there.

When I got into my room after a poor check in experience (that took an hour at 1am, bless the desk clerk's efforts) there was a layer of dust and dead bugs on my vanity, 2 lamps unplugged (one without a light bulb, the desk lamp of all lamps), cigarette burns in the carpet of a non-smoking room, a torn chair (tear the size of a deck of cards), one vending machine (which wouldn't accept dollar bills), a gumball machine that wouldn't accept quarters and another (also broken) that was empty in 2 compartments (that obviously worked) and full with old candy in 2 compartments (that didn't work)... Ummmm, let's see... what else...

This is my second stay, the service was great; the room was at a better location, love the bed. It is a great room.
