I couldn't get the lowest advertised fare because I made my reservation through travelnow.com. I also couldn't get a refund for the same reason when I complained that I had to kill two roaches before retiring for the night. Not a place I wish to return to.

My father and I stayed at the Days Inn on our way from Minneapolis to DC to avoid the traffic and construction in Chicago. It's conveniently near the highway, and just a few minutes drive into tiny downtown Champaign and the Champaign-Urbana U of Illinois campus.

Since it wasn't listed as an amenity in our AAA guidebook, I was excited to see the "free high-speed internet" banner outside (I had my laptop). However, it must have taken about an hour before I was able to connect with my laptop, and there was nothing wrong with my hardware or settings. The 800 number we were first told to call to fix things was completely unhelpful and clueless, after which we had to call the front desk a couple times before it worked. I'm guess they went over and plugged a router in, because before then the network didn't show up at all. Besides this, the stay was decent and clean, and the continental breakfast was sufficient -nothing luxurious or anything.

Later that night we were settling into the room when somebody unlocked the door to walk in and discover the front desk had double-booked the room! In the morning we discovered that our room keys no longer worked, but at least we were on our way out anyway.

The evening manager of the hotel was extremly rude to me and treated me like I was an idiot. I had two rooms reserved and needed to cancel one. After his condesending voice and attitude and after he hung up on me the first time I called, I just wanted to cancel both. After this he proceeded to tell me that he couldn't do that and wouldn't tell me why. I needed the rooms for relatives coming into town for a funeral and with this service I didn't want either room! He said to me that because of my attitude he was going to charge me for both rooms! I couldn't believe that he threatend me with my own credit card! He wouldn't tell me his name, he said he was the manager, which I don't know if this is true, and by the end of the conversation I was in tears. You would think that because of this family emergency that something could have been done to accomidate my family. I have never been treated like this before from any company and will never stay at a Days Inn ag! ain.
