Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was gross. The room smelled like poop due to an unclean bathroom, there was hair on the floor in there, and the floor was so filthy that your feet came up black if you walked barefoot on it. It was very clear that the place wasn’t so much for staying in as much as it was people using it for all the bad reasons. The type of people we saw as time went by sent off major red flags. We didnt even end up staying the night, after a few hours we just grabbed our stuff and left. Stay away from this place. It has bad news written all over it.

I expected the freeway noise but you could also hear every single thing inside the motel as well. People were yelling in the hallway, i could hear the shower next door, the doors are thin and there is like half an inch of space between the door and jam. So if youre a light sleeper, not great. Shower pressure awesome.

Tough to Recommend

Tough visit. Air conditioner didn't reliably work the entire night. Bed was stiff and sheets were low quality. Broken tile in the bathroom. I had to clean out the air filter in the AC unit myself because it was absolutely filthy. Can't recommend this Days Inn.
