“Perfect other than attached to lounge...”

couldn't sleep until 2:30 due to all the noise from the lounge. Rooms were very clean and staff was nice.

“Unable to survive accommodations”

No accommodation for people who cannot sit on hard, inflexible chairs. Heat system very invasive and unworkable.

Area recommendations
west, downtown: safer, accommdations appropriate to my needs. Expedia should be more attentive to match of hotel offerings and need of customer. I did not feel safe.
Other
Please look into accommodations very seriously before you sign up.

“Clean and comfortable”

Although showing its age, the hotel room was clean, comfortable, and affordable. The breakfast itself was pretty sparse. With the money I saved on the room..... I could afford to go 2 blocks down to "Perkins Restaurant" for a full breakfast. Should I be in the area again needing a room, I would not hesitate to stay here again. The Staff at Days Inn on Merle Hay Rd should keep up the good work. They can expect repeat business if they do so.

Dining
Had a "Perkins Restaurant" within walking distance, and a "Bennigan's Sports Pub" across the street.

“Not impressed.”

The handrail needs attention!! They removed an old one but did not remove old boards. I cut my finger. The toilet in our friends room did not flush and even though they reported it, nothing was done. Our tub drained extremely slow. There is a lounge and the people go outside to smoke and are VERY loud. This makes it difficult to sleep if you happen to be on that side of the hotel. The pavement is several inches lower than the lobby entry doors.

“oddly pleasant”

When we pulled up to the hotel, I wondered what we had gotten ourselves into. It looks like a dumpy motel from the outside. However we walked in, and the front desk attendant was very friendly and professional. Common areas were very clean Rooms were outdated, but clean and comfortable. Pool seemed okay, although we did not swim and breakfast had a decent selection. There was even a large arcade. I would stay again for a night.

“Fido”

Overall the stay was fine. Nothing to write home about but no major complaints either. Except: Refrigerator was, apparently, broken as some sandwiches we placed in it for the trip home were unsafe to eat after 2 days. Had to throw away.

“You get what you pay for”

Nice and clean. Convenient location. Hot tub jets didn't work, and pool was standard hotel pool temp. For the price we paid, it was fine.

“Totally not impressed”

The reason I chose this hotel was for the pool as I had 3 kids with me. We could barely get in the water the pool was so cold, I was very dissatisfied. The rooms themselves weren't bad but the customer service sucked horribly. That for me ruined the whole experience. One of the hotel clerks even asked us for the newspaper since he hadn't read it yet. Wow, totally wrong in my opinion! I will not be going back.
