“Grimy Carpet”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 21, 2012

We arrived at Lake Tahoe late and made this reservation by cell phone. Check-in was fine. When we walked into the room, even though the room was supposedly a non-smoking room, the smoky/musty smell overwhelmed us. The carpet was filthy. Very dated decor. Judging from the smell, the bed coverings had not been cleaned in a long time. Because the sheets were not fitted, they fell off the beds to reveal filthy, torn mattresses. Fortunately, the bathroom/shower appeared clean. We left as early as possible the following morning; the construction noise made sleeping impossible. Of course, Days Inn could do nothing about the construction. We would not recommend this Days Inn.

Room Tip: Ask for rooms as far as possible away from road.

“Keep curtains closed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012 via mobile

Stayed for 2 nights. Rooms are pretty small. Had never stayed at a days inn. Would like to think this isnt the norm for the days inn chain For several reasons my expectations were not met. Man walking back x forth smoking weed at pool during day in direct view from Office x some rooms.Pool has dim to no lighting at night, with people having sex and sneaking around. No microwave No fridge No iron x board No coffeemaker. Possibly my fault for not doing my research. Could have got a discount chain hotel for much less, with about an equal level of Clients x accomodations. They do have the location going for them, so i guess the franchise lets them lower there standards x policys regarding quality, room size x amenities. One plus is that the beach is just a short walk away. Safeway close by.

“Days Inn Labor Day 2012 review”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

I must say that this is my second stay here in a year

First off check-in was great

Front desk person show me a few room choices

Room was clean and average for the price I had to pay for the night

Pool was cold but the jacuzzi worked

Breakfast did not start till 7:30 am (average normal time is 6 am)

Very basic continental breakfast

Its an older property that should not charge more than 55.00 per any day of the year

OK stay

“Not good”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 30, 2012

Read the reviews, thought it's a good clean room for just 1 night. But found that it's not very clean room, bathroom not very clean either. Found an underwear under the sink area, luckily hidden by the cabinet doors. Carpet not very clean, neither is bathroom floor.
Shower was ok though. Towels are worn out and really need to be retired. And one of the towels was brown color while three others where white.
Air condition makes too much noise and doesn't keep the room cold enough. And bed not comfortable. None of us got any good sleep. Regret staying here. Found out there are way better choices in Tahoe.

“Bottom of the Days Inn barrel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 28, 2012

I own a Days Inn and trusted the brand. I was going to stay in Lake Tahoe for three days. We arrived late and were assigned a room. The bed was hard and uncomfortable and essentially we woke up with sore backs. We left the next morning. The room was crowded, small, but clean. The tiled stall shower was fine. The breakfast was so lacking that we also walked out. Coffee, cold serial, one fruit juice and I think bread or a bun. The actual physical facility is an outside corridor, old style motel, looking like a 1960's Route 66 motel. I was embarassed to be in the same franchise as this motel.

Room Tip: WE went to the Best Western, more expensive, but an excellent comfortable property.
