“Good location”

Days Inn Tempe

Jan 19, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I've stayed at this hotel a few times for convenient location and wireless internet connection. The rooms have a mini-fridge and are comfortable although they can be noisy. Bathrooms are tiny. Some of the rooms have been neglected for lack of repairs, such as loose toilet seats, sticky doors, and broken towel racks/fixtures.
Washer and dryer are outside next to the pool and parking lot.
No resturant on premises. Continental breakfast in lobby.

Recently, on January 1 2008, they raised their rates about 60% (temporary)which really annoyed me, so I won't be staying here anymore.
I tried to book a room for the 6th of January and my normal rate of $60 was jacked up to almost $100 - Not a considerate action to regular clients.
Currently, you're going to pay $85 with tax, not a good value, imo.

“Good place to stay”

Days Inn Tempe

Oct 21, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed here for three nights in October for a conference. The conference hotels were fully booked and dear. Found the Days inn using Google earth.

They have shuttle service that promptly picked me up from the airport.

Checking in was seamless, room was clean, breakfast service above expectation.

There is free wireless as well. Location is good, two blocks from campus. The only bummer was the swimming pool, which was closed for maintenance.

In short, a good place to stay if you need essential services and if you are planning to go out during the day => applies to most of us.

    • Disliked — The pool, it was closed.

2/2 found this review helpful

The Days Inn in Tempe is a reasonable hotel at a good price.

The neighbourhood is fine. As some other reviews have stated, there is a lot of construction work going on outside the property, but this is not the fault of the hotel, and did not hinder our stay in any way.

The location is a little way from the lively Mill Avenue. We paid under $10 in a cab to get to Mill.

The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.

The room was comfortable and clean.

Breakfast was the usual continental mix of cereal, pastries and bagels, coffee and juice. This is served in the lobby. The lobby has complimentary coffee available at all times. The hotel also provides complimentary copies of USA Today.

For those without a laptop, there is complimentary internet terminal in the lobby. Usage is limited to 15 mins per person if there is someone waiting.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Cheap price, great service
    • Tips/Secrets: — This hotel is not walking distance from Mill Avenue.

“Horrible Place”

2/2 found this review helpful

This property is old, but In its day was probably ok. However, it has been neglected and is in very poor repair. There was actually a telephone book and pry bar wedged under the air conditioner unit to keep it off the floor! We have stayed in other Days Inns, mainly because they are usually fairly nice, clean and reasonably priced. We used this one for that very reason and the fact it was close to the airport as we had a very early flight the next morning. I would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone. This place certainly reflects poorly on the Days Inn chain.

“My Review”

Days Inn Tempe

2 of 5 stars

7/7 found this review helpful

Seemed like a good location for visiting the baseball spring training team sites that we wanted to go to. There is road construction on Apache Blvd that seemed like a war zone in front of the Days Inn. The adjacent building was boarded up, apparently a defunct Carrows Restaurant, so first appearance around the Days Inn wasn't too pleasing.

The room appeared clean and comfortable for the price with internet wireless access, but the shower had a faulty knob and couldn't turn on the hot water. So was offered only avaiable rooms were with no internet access. So the choice was hot water, or internet, which I needed to plan daily activities and locate addresses. I opted for the hot water.

Next day given a room with both hot water and internet, but the air conditioner unit would keep turning off and would not come back on, probably a faulty thermostat. So kept the fan on to circulate the air, good thing it was spring and not the summer.

The staff was helpful but this Days Inn is old and could use a major facelift. I wouldn't stay here again.
