I was in Wichita for a Convention and stayed at this Days Inn. I must say, I think this was the nicest, cleanest, Days Inn I have ever stayed at. Staff was very friendly. Room was awesome--king bed was very comfortable. Had own microwave and refrig. in room. Breakfast was very good. Only 3 miles to downtown. Very good location.

Anyone traveling with animals should definitely skip this place. Turns out they have 2, count 'em TWO, rooms and only allow one dog under thirty pounds in those rooms.Kind of like advertising that you have a pool but it's actually only filled and usable on the 4th of July. As were were staying there for 5 days for the National Rabbit and Guinea Pig show in Wichita this caused us quite a few problems. Our guinea pigs would not have barked at the neighbors, peed and pooped on the floor, nor slept on the bed as I'm sure most 30 pound dogs do. A simple explanation of what they considered "pet friendly" on their website would have saved me a lot of grief by staying elsewhere. There was the 1.5 hour screaming couple fight outside the first night we were there, the power washing the building outside our door for 30 minutes one evening and the cigarette smoke stench every time you walked in the room to complete the experience. You could barely get 2 words out of the desk staff either upon arrival or check out. As long as you wanted a waffle for breakfast you were in luck. There wasn't much else available. One morning I got the last little bit of coffee from the pot and no backup pot was immediately available. What there was of that was cold. Fortunately we didn't have to spend much time there.

Moral of the story, if you book online you have to still call them up and see what their policies are.

I'm afraid we can't comment on the quality or the comfort of the room.

Fully a week before our planned arrival, we made a reservation for a king room, noting that under hotel amenities it clearly stated "Pets allowed.". Under comments, we noted that our dog would be traveling with us. Even as we speak, I am looking at our CONFIRMED RESERVATION.

Since Wichita is fully 1,500 miles from home, rest assured that more than two days before our arrival we were already a goodly distance from home,

We arrived on our planned schedule to be told that they had no room for us. Why in fact they had very thoughtfully called and left messages at our home two days before (or at least so they say) stating that despite our reservation we would have no room. Can't prove one way or the other that they called us, because (guess what) we were already traveling. Apparently a foreign concept to this motel management.

We had been home for 4-5 days after making and receiving conformation of our reservation.
Apparently they couldn't possibly tell us about the problem during this time.

So they tell us they have no room. Yet they do indeed have a king room, but not for us, traveling with a dog (the one I had mentioned in making the reservation). The desk clerk even called the manager who confirmed (insisted) we could not have that room.

Then they asked how much the dog weighed. At which point we were advised we could not have stayed there under any circumstances since they have a 20 pound limit! Say what??! That's not a dog, that's a cat. Or a large rat.

This place can take a flying leap. Leaves us wondering about future stays at Days Inn, to be sure. We have to wonder which side of this mess that the corporate management sides with.
