I was a walk-in on a Monday night and the lady working the front desk was very nice and got me a room with no problem. I let her know where I wanted to park and she put me in a room where I could see my new truck. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into my room. The room was spacious with a refrigerator, coffee maker with coffee, and a microwave. As I walked around the room I found it to be very clean and found nothing to complain about, even the vent in the bathroom was spotless- no dust to be found. I would have to say also the total price with tax was only $79.00 Good job and I wish all Days Inn's were this nice. Highly recommend.

Room was basic but large enough, in good repair, very clean with comfortable beds. Efficient and helpful check in. Breakfast was middling with a few basic choices, watery juice. Overall a good value. I’d stay again.

I stayed here for one night while passing through — and it was a great choice. The room was very clean and well-kept, with everything I needed: fresh towels, soap, a hairdryer, a kettle, coffee, an iron, and even an ironing board. Nothing fancy, but super practical and comfortable. Breakfast was included — basic but enough to start the day. The price was fair, no hidden fees. Perfect spot for a short and stress-free stay.

The building could use some sprucing up, but my room was clean and tidy (even the vent cover! ). The breakfast was pretty basic but again, things were clean. Some other hotels I recently stayed in were in better condition but not as clean. I'll take clean. The lady at the desk at night was very nice. The chap in the morning was too busy on his phone to engage.

Room was extremely clean and neat. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. My truck was in the shop at Peterbilt overnight, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in letting me check in a couple hours early. My only criticisms are very minor.....breakfast was a little spartan considering cost of a nights stay, there were no chairs or benches outside to accommodate smokers or capers, and the American Flag on the pole outside was tattered and needs replacing.

Surprisingly nice for a Days Inn. Wyndam has raised the quality. Very clean everywhere, helpful and very friendly desk clerk, comfortable room and bed. Very reasonably priced, including cost for our little dog.

such a relief after the NIGHTMARE DUMP we stayed in last night (my bad on that) my partner found this place for the same price and it is very good quality for the price! has a little complimentary breakfast or a really nice breakfast coupon for next door that is great. the front desk gal Kathie is very warm and welcoming and made us feel at home. the place is clean and nice. the weight machine is broken which is lame, but I still rode the recumbent bike for a bit to work off the raising canes chicken.

Wow! I never thought a two star hotel could be so nice! Everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location was convenient. The price was extremely affordable. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is because our window was right next to the parking lot, and there was a bright light shining through our window all night, even with blackout curtains. And there was noise every time someone shut their car door loudly.
