If I could give a 0 stars I would! It was a crack house! There were literally needles thrown around and the windows were disgusting! I and my Mother-in-law refused to stay there. We slept on the floor at our daughter's 1 bedroom.

I don't even know where to begin. The place doesn't look that bad from the outside, specially for the price you pay. But once you come into the room be ready. There are tiny little roaches everywhere! On the walls, ceilings, in the bathtub, on the bed! I didn't rinse out a cup of sangria the night prior and woke up to a cup full of bugs. The carpet looks like it hasn't been vacuumed in the past decade, there was trash under the bed and behind the nightstand. The nightstand looks like someone spilled something sticky on it and housekeeping only cleaned the top of it; I can only imagine what it could be... Honestly, I just have nothing good to say about this place and if you are traveling on a budget be ready to deal with the nasty. Never again! I honestly don't know how this place has not been shut down yet.

HI Vebe - Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay. I understand how frustrating that could be and quite the surprise. As you mentioned the price is a value but we also want to deliver a clean and comfortable room. When you brought this to our attention the front desk immediately refunded you for that night. Again we thank you for the feedback and hope you will give us another chance in the future. I assure you we have professional pest control services and are going through conversion. Sincerely - Jeremy Robinson, CHA General Manager

Absolutely horrible. I booked a smoking room for my father. They put him in a non smoking without telling him. They noticed that he was smoking in the room and threatened to charge $100. After realizing their mistake, but not actually telling my father that it was their mistake, they moved him to a smoking room and did not charge the $100. The new room had bed bugs and when he went to ask for a room change, they advised that they had already switched his room before and he would either have to stay in the room or find a new hotel. Again, it was their fault for the initial room change. The paramedics ended up coming to take my father to the hospital from all the bed bug bites. I called the hotel to speak to them myself and was advised that since the police/paramedics came he would not be allowed back on the property. They offered to refund my money for the unused days, but I honestly feel like the whole stay should be refunded. No one should ever stay at this hotel.

We booked this place after looking at the website. It looked like the rooms where nice for the price and it was late getting into Sarasota to meet friends. If we could have found another place to stay we would have. This looks nothing like the website. The place has ripped curtains, dirty towels, fixtures torn off the walls,uncovered bathroom light fixtures, and fruit flies coming out in the bathroom.They had a small refrigerator to use but it was dirty with mold. We did not sleep all night. We told the manager (who was very nice) and he said the place is being remodeled. I would not stay there unless it is. Scary!!

This hotel is disgusting. There is mold in the rooms. The room we were given had urine on the top of the toilet, holes in the comforter, mold in the room, etc. We did not stay and went somewhere else. However, the front desk Jared was really helpful.

The room I am in is good. There is a swimming pool for family fun. It is an average hotel for business or a family on a budget. Be careful to park on property. The parking lot is joined with an adjacent hotel. There are signs. Limited truck parking.

Outside the hotel was dirty and smelled of urine in dark areas. The first room was filthy with tattered carpet missing in various spots and webs in corners. There was holes in the walls around electric outlets. Stained walls, too. We did not go into the rest rooms. That was enough. We immediately went to the front desk. Reception offered an updated room that had newer carpet, no visible tears, no hole in walls. The restroom area was decent enough, as well. Doors to both rooms did not reach to the floor. Drapes in both rooms were stained. The 2nd room was simply tolerable for this one-night stay.

Rude staff, dirty rooms, surprisingly high pet fee when I arrived that wasn't listed on their website (after I already booked)!!?? Stay at the Days Inn - not much better, but you won't be supporting bad people

Responded 29 Dec 2017
I apologize for any staff member that was rude, after all we expect our staff to give the utmost in guest service. which website did you use to book your reservation, since we have put our pet policy on each website which explains there will be a pet fee. If it is no longer there we need to correct the situation. As far as the room I apologize I will definitelly look into it. if you could just let me know which room you stayed in.

This is my second visit to this hotel. The price is right, the location is great and the staff are awesome But the hotel really needs updates. The carpets are horrible and the room smelled bad. We went out to Wal-Mart to get an air freshener. We had a small lizard and some bugs which made the visit a bit yucky. On the up side Vicki at the Front Desk is awesome and very helpful. Jeremy came to our rescue and brought us two be and new pillows. I will come back again because it is a good value and I love the location. Management please spend some money on updates. Thank you.
