The front desk and the maids were very nice and accommodating. Days Inn was pet friendly and clean. They also served a free breakfast. If we're passing by again we will most definitely stay here again!

We had a king room, the bed was very comfortable and room was clean, breakfast was waffles, and basically continental type breakfast. Great rates as well. Checked in later and left early. Was going to use the gym but it was closed - it should be open later than 8 pm.

We stayed here for 3 nights in Feb 2026 while a relative was in the hospital. The price was super reasonable. The 2 men that worked at the front desk were both great, very friendly. Not sure if it was our timing or what, but they served biscuits & gravy for breakfast all 3 days. I thought it was good, but I would've loved to have had some eggs. There is a Perkins right across the street. Our rooms were clean, and the beds & pillows were comfy. So nice to have a microwave & frig in the room. The shower was good with good pressure. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating was because I found multiple long hairs in the room. Don't know if it was from the cleaning personnel themselves or from the people who were there before us. Definitely not from us - we both have short hair.

Spent 2 nights here 9-20-2025 to 9-22-2025. Was disappointed that the accessible room that I had requested twice for my 84-yr old mother was not available. At least we were able to get the first floor. The bed was comfortable, and the plumbing worked. Didn't see any bugs or rodents. The breakfast was lame but that is not important to us. We would stay here again.

Thee! Hands down BEST budget hotel we have stayed at. Great staff whom checked us in, he was thorough and great! Puppies loved it. It was clean and spotless! Water pressure and temperatures were excellent. Top notch nightstand with USB and plugs. Lamps with plugs and simple easy switches for on and off. Lighting was great. Halls were fairly quiet and other guests were good too. December 2025.

Nice hotel, conveniently located for our needs. Clean. The air unit is rather loud, as were the neighbors when they arrived at 3am, but that is obviously out of the control of the hotel. We received a free upgrade to a room with a king bed rather than two queens. Overall a pleasant stay.
