The room smelled AWFUL!!!!! It had dry blood on the door that I didn't notice until it was to late. The tub was stained with nastiness. Spiders and other bugs were in the room as if they rented it. No outlets to charge your devices. I had to unplug the dirty microwave. It was alot of drugs and prostitution going on. I would have been better sleeping in my car.... it won't let me upload the pictures but if I could i would.

not attractive at all, not returning

The room in general was very run down. there were only a couple outlets, the bathroom light did not work and the cover was off with exposed wires. The tub was very nice but the door had to remain open to shower. The tv/remote did not work. we could get the tv to turn on but had no options for stations. the 1 outlet by the bed was closer to the window than the bed, and our things would not stay plugged in. There were cobwebs in the corners. Overall was not impressed. Would not recommend this place to people.

Had to call the police to check in. The lady at the front office claimed she could not give me a room despite me providing her with proof of reservation. Was rude. Once the police showed up she magically found my room

This place absolutely did not meet my standards based the pictures posted on the site. My first room was horrible. The wall had a big water stain and mold on it, the wall was falling apart. There were roaches, sewer flies and spiders in the room. It smelled awful. The fridge was leaning and also had bugs in it. The tv did not work. The floor was sticky and dirty. I went to the front to be moved. The second room was better, but still had an awful smell. One of the beds had cigarette burns in the blanket. The bathroom door was damaged at the bottom and taped together. The aesthetic of the outside just looked run down and unkept. It is across from a recovery center so I believe some people live here as well. The parking lot had broken glass in it. The front door of the “lobby” was broken. It was just overall terrible. My kids didn’t even want to take a shower. I will never stay here again.

Upon doing research on the internet for pet friendly locations this location was recommended. I booked on hotels.com and proceeded to check into the hotel. After traveling all day I failed to see the sign on the window "no dogs" I assumed all was well seeing how the website specified "pet friendly". I was never asked if I had any dogs nor was it addressed online for an additional fee, of which I would have paid. I got settled and while bringing my dog (boxer) into the room, my boyfriend was approaching the room when the lady in the office (red box braids) yelled. "Y'all gotta check out, you can't have dogs here". Meanwhile he enters the room to tell me we have to leave. We immediately started to make other arrangements to take our babies elsewhere. About 10 minutes lapsed when there was an extremely hard bang on the door. Upon opening there was a black car with 3 occupants and the office manager. My boyfriend trying to explain we were preparing to take them somewhere. She was very demanding and aggressive outside the door. Telling us it was too late and she was deactivating our room key and evicting us. I called the police and because it was her demand we were threatened with trespassing charges and had to leave the property without arrangements to stay somewhere. Now we are 5 hours from home and on the streets at 12am. I don't think this is the policy or ethics of Days Inn. I've stayed at many nice Days inn hotels and never experienced anything of this magnitude.

I hardly ever leave a review for anywhere but felt the need to do so. This was just for one night so no big deal, right? This place has non running partially dismantled cars in the parking lot (more than a couple). The rooms are outdated. There were visible holes. The bed coverings had several obvious cigarette burn holes. You might say I could have asked for another room but I highly doubt it would have been any better. This is not a place I would recommend at all. I am not extremely picky like some but this was definitely not a good choice. I knew it was not the Hilton but this doesn’t even deserve the ratings it has been given.
2.5
The place was falling apart. Bathroom door fell off the hinges, shower curtain rod was super loose and dangerous. TILE floor was loose and could easily cut someone. Not only all of that… All the bedsheets had holes in them from cigar ashes. As soon as you walk in you get that smoke smell. For 109$ this was not worth it at all. They should really be pricing way less if this is how they treat the rooms. It didn’t even look like they cleaned the sheets. The floor had this weird sticky residue by the bed. Walls were filthy. Gross gross gross

There was mold in the bathroom and something kept biting me in the beds
2.5
Got a non smoking room that had cigarettes smell and a cigarette bud in there. Flies everywhere!!
2.5
This was literally the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Where do I start... There was a person sleeping in the check-in that was not of sound mind, the room was dirty, there wasn't even sheets on one of the beds, everything was falling apart, the door barely closed. Literally the worst place I've ever stayed in. Not sure how it's even in business
2.5
Roaches in bed, doorframes and table…. Confirmed visually by employee
2.5
This property was disgusting. There were roaches in the room and in the lobby when checking in. No closet to hang your clothes, no hangers, the fridge was at room temperature, no place to charge your phone. Everything felt dirty - I didn't want to touch anything.
2.5

Good

I am use to five star hotels so I know my bar is a little high when it comes to ratings. However this would have been a low rating even for someone who has never traveled. The hotel was old and run down looking. My reservation was cancelled and I did not cancel. The staff was nice and I was able to make another reservation very quickly. The towels had spots on them. The bathroom celling had a whole in it. Then later that night we heard gunshots. For me not a good experience
2.5
They rented a room without charging bed sheets. I had to get fresh one from the front desk and made my own bed. If it wasn’t late I would have walked away
2.5
At the time me and family are here. And we have been here a year and a half. It's been nice overall. Price could be better with the time. Family is happy, so I'm happy. Nice atmosphere. Friendly people overall.
2.5
Suspicious activity.
2.5
Spiritually was a success. I can't explain in full detail. However a great HOOD spot
2.5
I've been staying at this hotel for months it's the same thing as the AC doesn't work as a cable doesn't work every night you can't even get the staff to accommodate you on anything booked for a week here for 375 and they still haven't came and fixed the AC or the cable and told me it's not refundable
2.5
Broken ceramic floors... mold... sketchy people. Smoking smell in all 3 rooms we had. Queen size sheet for king size bed. No fitted sheet. No cover (quilt/comforter) dirty pillows
2.5
The hotel was not comfortable and the room was not that clean
2.5
It was okay. Enough for an overnight stay in the city. Check in was very quick and easy. The room needed upgrading. The ceiling was peeling in areas, a light over the sink didnt work, the bed had a bed spring box that makes a loud noise if you hit it, the walls was peeling, the bathroom had crayon marks on the door and the toilet made a high pitch sound when you flushed. The walls are very thin for next door and the people above you. Itwasjust cheap and convenient for an overnight stay to visit ODU.
2.5
The room was terrible. Broken tiles on bathroom floor. Shower curtain rod was broken. Towels were stained. Mirror had writing on it. Pillows were horrible. Comforter had cigarette burns. Only stayed there because it was last minute and everything decent was booked.
2.5
Nice place to get away. Noise free. Good place for extended stay.
2.5

bathroom shower dirty
Manager would not refund money for 2nd night stay and also rented room to new customer. customer got angry when I opened door ith same key as I was issued night before
2.5
The lady that run it during the day was very rude. She hung up the phone on me 3 times while trying to ask questions. The sheets and comforter had burn holes in these from cigarettes. It was supposed to be a nok smoking room. Woke up to a roach on my pillow. Roaches in the corners of the bathroom. Poop on the bathroom wall. Was woken up to people laughing and partying right outside the room and office. 1:30am and no one made them calm down. Dont think your doing yourself a favor and saving money here. Its worth the money to go somewhere else. NEVER AGAIN WILL I STAY HERE AT THIS PLACE! Ive already spread the word to friends and telling them not to go!!!!!!! Wish i could have gotten money back!!! Thats money ill never see again and wasted on a lousey room when i should have went to a little more pricey of a room
2.5
The a/c work pretty good.
2.5
You get what you pay for! When we arrived I immediately knew this was a mistake. Check in was simple and easy. But when we get to the room no air was on and upon inspecting the room there were cigarette holes in the blanket. It look like they just painted all the walls which you can definitely tell where they painted and where they didn’t paint. I found a bug crawling on the sink one morning. The area is not so savory for my choice of words (if you get my drift).
A lady had the audacity to offer my husband five dollars to take her somewhere!! And he noticed a lot of traffic going in and out one of the rooms with multiple cars pulling up and driving off. The only thing I would say was they did come and replaced our towels twice during our visit.
2.5
The rooms are very old and damaged. They smelled like cigarettes and there were cockroaches everywhere, even in the beds. The mirrors had cracks on them. Floors were very dirty and the toilet paper has to sit on the toilet because the dispenser was missing. The window curtains were also damaged and not hung correctly because of the damage.
2.5
The room was dirty, the blankets had burned holes in them, there was spiders and roaches crawling around and the toilet had pee in it.
2.5
Falls advertisement I drove from Philly to Virginia Beach expected to have a pool and it wasn't one the room smell like pee and my 2-year-old son found a condom in the bathroom I will never book again
