“DO NOT STAY HERE!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 23, 2011

This is the most disgusting place I have ever been in my life. We stayed here one night before a cruise in August 2011 and it was horrible. There were roaches everywhere. This is not a stretch. They were in the sheets, on the carpet, crawling on the television, inside of the microwave, on the chairs EVERYWHERE. They claimed to have a business center that could be used to print our boarding passes; it was really one really old computer and a broken printer (so it wasn't much help). I cannot express strongly enough how bad this place is, I have stayed at bad hotels before but this is by far the worst. Whatever money you save by staying here, it just is not worth it.

“Horrible. I cannot believe that hotels like this exists in USA”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2011

this place is extremely horrible, disgusting and filthy. I cannot believe that United states has hotel like this place. the moment we entered the room we saw roaches every where on the bed, under the bed sheets, tables, bath tub.... the room smell horrible. It was midnight and we drove 18 hours from PA so instead of changing the hotel, we decide call them and ask to change the room. the other room was even disgusting, filled with roaches and stool smell in the room. Extremely dirty bed sheets, chair ,......We just sat on our luggage for some hours and wait for the day light so that we can go to another hotel. I am surprised that how come the FL health and safety department did not take any action yet. Well, they will do it now as I am going to wrote them a detailed letter. Further, I am going to write a letter to Days Inn administration and asking why are letting this place use their name and ruined their reputation. Go ahead and experience if you don't believe me.
Some reviewer wrote that it worth $20 per night. I say that it does not worth even a penny as your health is more important.

Room Tip: Before paying money, ask them to show you your room. Don't estimate room condition from their re...
