North Little Rock, AR
Oct 7, 2008

I can not even find the appropriate words to describe how horribe my stay at this hotel was. I pulled in here after driving for a long time and needed to get some sleep. The location was convenient being right off the interstate. I should have followed my gut instincts when the clerk appeared to be messed up on some kind of drugs. But, I was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed. It was hard to find parking b/c there were stacks of old mattresses in the parking spaces. Not to mention the transients laying on top of the stacks smoking. There was a very undesirable looking man wandering around near the hotel. I actually waited for these people to go away before I got out of my car. The room was a nightmare! Very nasty carpet, cigarette burns on the desk, TV, & the blanket. The towels were anything but white. The electrical outlets did not work in the bathroom. The shower area of the bathroom was dark and dingy. There were doors slamming all night long and you could hear people yelling. I managed to get about an hour of sleep. I was awakened at 6:15 a.m. by a very loud noise. I got up, showered and decided to at least get something out of $69.99 ($1.00 would have been too much!) and go eat the free continental breakfast. Another mistake!!! I spit out my bagel after one bite, the cream cheese was spoiled. The muffins were stale and the whole breakfast area seemed a bit unkempt. I then checked out and got away from there as fast as possible. Don't let the exterior in the photo fool you, this place is a DIVE! I have called 1-800 customer service for Days Inn, made a report of all the aforementioned remarks, was given a report number and told someone would be contacting me within 10 days. DO NOT stay at this place. Don't even stop in the neighborhood, keep driving and find somewhere else for your own good.

Slidell, Louisiana
Sep 4, 2008

My husband, son, dog and I were on our way to TN evacuating from Hurricane Gustav. After 13 hours of driving b/c of traffic we knew we had to stop. We called numerous hotels in the area but none were available except for this one. Now we know why! First we were parking (it was 1am) & 2 guys in a car signaled to me to roll down my window. I thought they needed help so I did. He holds up this electronic item with big price stickers on it (probably just stole it) and told me he'd give me a good deal on it. Then we walk into the room & everything was wet in it b/c they had the a/c off & it was so humid in there. The bathroom was smaller than a bathroom on a cruise ship. I felt as if a murder had been committed in that hotel room it was so disgusting! Having evacuated we had a lot of stuff in the truck & I thought for sure it was going to get stolen. Even though it was 1am my husband immediately started calling other hotels to get us out of there. Although we had to stick it out there for one night we did manage to find another hotel an hour away. I even think they overcharged us just b/c we were evacuees. We paid $100 for the night & when I called the 1-800 number the next morning to check the price the guy told me that he could not give me a past rate if I booked directly through the hotel. He could only give it to me if I booked through the 1-800 # and had a confirmation number. Pretty convenient isn't it?

Saw the website pictures and thought it looked nice and was a good value. So, I booked the room for a week. It was a mistake! It was dirty and had a lot of low life people staying there. Prostitutes, pot heads, and people wandering around all over the place. The pool was a "cess-pool". It stank, and there was a condom wrapper in it. I will NEVER stay there again

“It was like staying at the Bates motel from the movie Psycho!”

Days Inn - Birmingham

Aug 18, 2008

It felt like a night at the Bates Motel! Traveling alone, I found Days to be a "somewhat" reputable business/name and pulled off to get a few hours sleep. The price was ok. $75.00. The lobby smelled and looked dingy, which should have been my first warning sign. Maybe it should've been the hords of "unique" looking people who hung out around the floors. Only to get in the room and have it smell. The sheets had stains on them and a shoe print was on one of my pillow cases. Though the bathtub looked clean, the bathroom was very undesireable.

The towels were dingy and the floors looked half swept. I slept in my clothes and jacket to keep my skin from touching the bed sheets and threw the comforter on the floor. I also slept with the lights and tv on. There were beverage spills on the desk table and the curtains were dirty. The air conditioning unit cut on and off all night, but hey, they had HBO and free wi-fi so go figure. I made the mistake and left my cosmetic bag at check out and i guess I shouldn't ask because it may have been stolen by now. A very adventurous stay to say the least. Find a truck stop and sleep in your car!

1/1 found this review helpful

Walking into the lobby and seeing the people who were sitting there I wasn't sure if I was checking into a motel or hooker convention. The motel is not located in a very good part of town. After checking into the room I had to go back to the lobby to get TP for the bathroom. We were unable to take a shower because there was mold on the shower curtain. If I could have brought my car in the room I would have to make sure it was secure. If I had known about this website with the reviews before hand I sure would not have stayed here. I picked this days inn because it was on our travel route.
