Room was decent. The breakfast was horrible. They said that it was bacon eggs but they were out. They had breads and a toaster, cereal with no milk, oatmeal with no hot water. We would have gotten a better meal and stay spending less at the Days Inn. Very disappointed.

Clean room, helpful staff and fabulous, full breakfast. Our complimentary VIP Access drink was easy to procure. The property is slightly dated but everything was clean and kept up. Lots of personality! Didn't use the pool but visited the pool area and it looked fun and was in use. You can swim from indoor to outdoor pool. You need to tell them if you want room cleaning done, otherwise they don't clean until you leave. We didn't know this.

Staff was very friendly throughout our stay. However we had two main areas of concern. 1. The bathroom in our room was not the cleanest - crumbs and hair on the floor. 2. The pool - WAY too much chlorine OR poor ventilation. Within 15 minutes of being in the pool area our eyes were burning and watering. Our 4 young kids could not stop coughing and felt "Like I couldn't breathe". It was dangerously high levels so we left. We notified staff and they said they would check into it..
