Under new and attentive management. I was impressed. I'm an older biz person who's a tightwad. I look for safety first. Then I look for cleanliness, odor-free room, strong shower water flow, and quietude. This place has them all.
Firstly, I was shocked at the low rate that could be negotiated in advance. Secondly, I had stayed at the Rodeway next door previously, and I sensed what others, earlier below had posted, that this Day's Inn was seedy. The rate attracted me, and I grit my teeth for a hope for the best stay. What a surprise to find the management /ownership had changed to this extended family or 6 or 8 people. The men run the front desk and do the upkeep, and the women supervise and help with the housekeeping.
Remember, now, this is a Day's Inn. This is not the Marriott. What is expected is solid value at a low price. This place delivers 100% plus.
I stayed a week. The room had a major problem; the heating unit did not blow in heat! I called the front desk, and by the time I returned in the evening, the unit had been repaired and was functioning normally. Talk about attentive and fast! There was a second problem; the TV remote didn't work that well. I suffered that one but I'm confident if I had asked for another, it would have been delivered within the hour.
I was impressed. The owners are investing every penny back into improvements; when I was there, they were repainting and refurbishing 2 of the rooms, and one said they had about 3 more to go, out of their 151. Again, I was impressed.
It was quiet. The walls were surprisingly thick. I think what they would benefit from would be security cameras outside; otherwise, I will stay there each time I'm in the Charlotte area.
Again, I'm a tightwad when it comes to car and accomodations, but I dined at Blue and Capitol whatever, and attended the opera. So, I think I can speak with seasoned authority. This is a great place at a low price.
