They say you get what you pay for, and in this case I am not even sure I got that! Of the 3 nights we stayed, not one of my family managed to sleep throughout the night, but the last night was by far the worst. The social gathering in the next room eventually dispersed in the early hours of... More

We and my brother-in-laws family stayed there for a night on 1'st January. Considering this, we got an interconnected room. The rooms are very spacious family rooms and the kids ha great fun. The bathroom and the serice area were great. It had a complimentary BF which was just basic..could've been improved. Missed the New Year charm at the place... More

My mom, stepdad, and I stayed at days inn in Harrisonburg, VA. Rooms were ok. Pool and spa were nice. Housekeeping was even nice. Front desk service however was very poor. We just needed an extra few hours stay to relocate to an apartment we had just rented a few days earlier. The front desk including the manager were not... More

Stayed here one night while on a trip from north to south. Exterior looks fine, but the rooms are not fine. Furnished with 80s oak furniture. Stains on upholstery. Aging brass fixtures with touches of rust and dust on top. Scuffs on painted walls. Double beds with cheap mattresses and sheets. Old tv, poor picture. Sad, "generic food" breakfast. Orange... More

We didn't make reservations ahead of time so several desired properties were booked with weddings, etc so we opted for this hotel due to the reasonable price. I had stayed there several years back and remembered it as OK. The staff was prompt with our check in and attentive. We got what we paid for. The room was fair, very... More

I requested a non-smoking, clean room due to severe allergies. They put us in the basement. We had to walked down the hall next to the pool and all you could smell was chlorine.

We were traveling with 3 small pets and this Days Inn is pet friendly. We read about it on the Trip Advisor. We had a very good rate, and they only charged a $10 pet fee (total). The rooms are very nice (inside corridors), the beds were great. The room had a refrigerator, was non smoking, etc. The grounds were... More

Stayed here for homecoming. Horriffic experience. Management was indifferent. Our room was broken into while we were out having dinner. It appears someone had a key as there was no sign of damage to the doorframe or anything. Management reaction was that we were not telling the truth, and they told us we could not get another room because they... More
