We used this search engine to find and book accommodation for our family holiday. When making a general inquiry about their cancellation policy, they canceled our reservation without our knowledge or authorization. When we called and queried this they apologized and indicated that they were not able to reverse the cancellation, but that we should not worry because a FULL... more

we had a coupon from one of the travel guides. the ones that tell you about hot breakfasts, free wifi, indoor pool, etc. the night clerk was very friendly. the room was only adequate as the quality of proper maintenance is obviously missing. the hot breakfast that was advertised was not available. in fact, there was not a single hot... more

I came to Harrisonburg for a wedding after graduating 5 years ago. The Days Inn brought back all sorts of great memories of my college days! The hotel is located right near campus, offered a decent breakfast and was a fabulous price. They even upgraded our room at no charge. I definietely recommend. more

On behalf of our hotel staff, I am writing to let you know how delighted we were to receive your kind words of praise. Given the very nature of the hotel business, the hours are long and demanding. Day or night, good service depends upon people willing to give their very best at all times. That's why it's truly rewarding...

This was the cheapest of the coupon books in the area. Check in was handled efficiently by a friendly clerk. The room was clean. The free breakfast was plentiful. The wireless access worked. So there are some good things about this motel. On to the imperfections. The climate control didn’t work consistently. Traffic noise from I-81 was prevalent inside the... more

I booked the hotel for my three kids, my wife, myself and our dog. The room (#212) had the most horrific smell. Do not let them rent you this room until it has had a complete remodel. The shower and sink did not drain and the bathroom was just outright dingy. The shower curtain was barely attached to the wall.... more

Some times it works out great having someone else book all my rooms for me...this wasn't one of those times. All I can say is agree with 'most' of the other reviews here. There is nothing to recommend this property for. My recommendation would be stay away. more

I was very impressed with the amenities, cleanliness and service at this Days Inn. I would say that pool was just a bit of a disappointment, being approximately 20' long, 10' wide, and only 4' deep at it's deepest point. Nice hot tub, though a bit humid in the spa, but I guess that is to be expected. Oh...the bed... more

This hotel is bad news. We went to visit my niece at JMU and this was the only hotel room available. From the minute you enter the lobby, you know you made a mistake booking this hotel. It had an odor and the carpet is stained and dirty on all floors. The sheets on the beds were all static like... more

We needed a place to stay overnight before checking in the next day at our cabin rental a half hour away. We used Priceline and this is what we got. We figured overnight wouldn't be too bad considering the mixed reviews we had read here on Trip Advisor. When we checked in, we were told the hotel was full and... more

My short stint was horrible, we were there for around 4 hours and had to check out. It was disgusting. The staff was attentive and tried to help get our money back (being that we booked it online and you hardly get a refund).
