Stayed at the Days Inn in late May while attending a friends wedding. There aren't many hotel options in Madisonville, so we figured we'd save a few dollars and choose Days Inn which offered rooms at about $15 less than other hotels in the area.

Mistake! The hotel is old and dirty. At check-in, I spotted a large roach-like bug scurrying across the hotels dingy Days Inn mat. (Note to Days Inn: it is time to replace the dirty mat!) To be fair, it was raining outside and could have been coaxed inside by all the foot-traffic from the drunken party-goers attending the hotel bar/club, Bully's. This bar is apparently a local hot spot because of the relative lack of bar scenes in Madisonville. It was a little unnerving being watched at check-in by all of the bars patrons lounging in the hotel lobby. It was nice to see at least one security guard in the lobby area, and he was able to stamp out the unwelcome critter, but still not my ideal place to be checking in.

We stayed in a room on the first floor, and the latch above the lock was loose and ineffective. I was uncomfortable the entire night imagining all the possible ways someone from the bar could get into our room. Needless to say, we woke up just fine the next day. I alerted the front desk about the faulty latch when checking out, and they seemed to truly take note with a desire to fix the problem. Who knows, maybe they did!

Other annoyances: The walls were thin and we could hear other hotel guests clearly as they exited their rooms and talked loudly on cell phones. The shower was awful; shower heads were very short and I had to bend over to wash my hair. Further, the hot water oscillated between hot and cold throughout the entire shower.

Overall, we had a place to sleep, but I will definitely never stay here again. If you are looking for a place to stay in Madisonville, pay the extra money and choose the Holiday Inn Express or the brand new Hampton Inn. I wish I had!

The employees at the Days Inn were VERY nice, but the hotel needs to be knocked down and rebuilt. Looks are a little deceiving since they do have a brand new sign with the revamped logo, so first impressions might be that this has been recently renovated too, which is not the case.

Some of these things will sound a little snotty, but for a national chain, they should be better across the board.

The lobby doors were not automatic (granted, that's a little prissy sounding), but lugging bags in at 11:30pm through two sets of doors like that wasn't easy. The hotel is a two-story building, but there is no elevator to the second floor ( not handicap accessible), plus another bout of dragging heavy luggage upstairs.

The hallways were oddly lit and were SO HOT and stuffy. .. Ceiling tiles in the hallway were broken and water-stained... I mean come on. In addition to all that, there were creepy looking guys that were milling around in the hallways because the bar was attached to the hotel halls...

The room doors were ancient and looked like they had been forced open a time or two. The rooms looked so run-down and gross that I didn't even want to put my stuff down.

Luckily, there were openings at the brand new Hampton Inn down the freeway one or two exits, so we were able to quickly check out a few minutes after arriving and move in there.

Nice rooms, exercise room w/treadmill & recumbent bike, indoor olympic size pool, nice bar in motel and wireless internet access. The beds are comfortable enough just wish the tv's were a little better.

I had a meeting and an overnight stay in a sleeping room here. I arrived the night before the meeting to unload my car full of supplies (takes me about 2 1/2 hours to unload and set up). Meeting room is locked and the front desk clerk tells me she does not have a key - the mgr has the key and he is at home asleep in bed - she doesn't want to call him. I said, that's fine, as long as the room is open by 6:00 am in the morning. Oh dear! Not a good option either - I told her to pick one. She called him that night. They argued in front of me for some time - he told her there was a key at the hotel - she cannot find it etc.... On and on and on. By now, it is 10:00 pm. She takes me to the room with 100 keys and checks them all one by one. A set of glass doors separates the hotel lobby from a wing that contains the "nightclub", restrooms, and meeting rooms. My meeting room backs up to the bar/nightclub with live music. The band is thumping, vibrating the walls, the nightclub crowd is disturbing, and I am isolated in this wing of the hotel with the bar and their "patrons" and their bathrooms, with no one else around to hear my screams. As I am unloading my boxes, I turn around to find myself nose-to-nose with a staggering, disheveled, very disturbing bar patron who appears to be jacked up on something. He has seen me and wandered into my room to "investigate" - "What are you doing? Are you having a party?" He was much too close for comfort and very scary. I head to the hotel lobby to ask for security while I have to be in this area. I find that I am locked into this wing of the hotel and cannot get back into the hotel lobby! They keep the door going from the nightclub/meeting room wing into the hotel lobby, locked at all times to keep the "patrons" from the bar out of the hotel. So, I find myself trapped and drawing quite a disturbing crowd from the bar. I bang on the door for help, and the clerk sees me and helps me escape. I decide to quit and resume in the early morning hours. My mtg room by the way is half the size it is supposed to be. Another problem to fix at 6:00 am. Hope the manager set his alarm clock. My sleeping room was old, dirty, loud, smelly and very unpleasant. The bed was a box of tired springs with tattered fabric stretched across the top. I lied awake the entier night. Get up at 6:00 am. Need to move next door to the larger meeting room they were SUPPOSED to give me to start with. It is locked. Clerk has to call the manager to unlock it at 6:00 am. He comes quickly to my surprise and helped me move all my stuff to the new room. I was charged $150 for the mtg room, after I was told $75 when I booked it. He cannot remember. I think the prices are made at the moment based on fluid criteria. I did not order food here - we had "lunch on our own" at nearby restaurants. MARRIOTT AND HILTON - PLEASE BUILD A HOTEL IN THIS TOWN, I'M BEGGING YOU!!! BEFORE I HAVE TO GO BACK!

We stopped at this hotel after a long drive. There were only two hotels to choose from. We choose the Days Inn because it had the pool. We choose right, the kids loved the pool area it was the largest pool we have seen at a hotel in a while. The breakfast was nice and the room clean. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
