Days Inn – Altamonte Springs

Time for an update! 2 ½ stars, though I’ll click the 3^rd. The room was clean enough but very dark. No curtains that allow any light into the room such as sheers or the like. This hotel has catwalk style room access, so other guests walk by your room. Noise between rooms was a little annoying my first night but settled down the remainder of my 4 night stay.
The WiFi DOES/​DID NOT WORK! There are several access points and they don’t work. The desk clerk basically just shrugged his shoulders.
The price, well depending upon how you made your reservation, there could be almost $ 30 per night difference between sites/​apps.
Each time I visited the hotel desk, there was some kind of drama.
Plenty of parking, easy access to I-​4.
I will look for an alternative stay next time around, but would stay again.

I checked in yesterday for a two night stay however the young girl at the front desk had me down for one night and didn’t know how to fix it. So I called the number I made the reservation with and they told me the fixed the problem.
This morning I called the front desk to make sure the problem was fixed and it wasn’t. Even worse when I explained the situation to this girl named Julie she said «I ain’t got time to play with you» and she hung up. I went to the front desk to see why she hung up and she was eating breakfast and playing with her phone.

Go elsewhere.
We booked a week but didn’t even stay a second night. Got in late (1 am), and had to check in through something resembling a bank teller window instead of being let inside the hotel. We drove around and opened the door to the room. Within the first 5 minutes we saw 3 different cockroaches.
The room smelled awful and everything just felt gross. We left the next morning and when we got back that afternoon the room hadn’t been serviced still. There was also a used cigar just sitting on the window seal outside our room from the night before — no idea who’s that was.
We went to check out and the guy claimed we didn’t have a reservation. After telling him he literally just came from the room and repeating my name and room number several times, he actually looks and finds the reservation.
We ended up checking into a different hotel for the same price, closer to where we needed to be, and MUCH nicer.

We checked in for seven days. We paid for the weekend using Wyndam rewards. We paid cash for the rest. When we made the reservation, we asked the appropriate questions and got the appropriate answers. Nothing that we were told was true. We have a dog, upon arrival we were told that they have special pet rooms and the one we reserved wasn’t pet friendly. They were aware of our dog when we made the reservation. First thing I saw was a cockroach upon opening the door to the tiny, dingy Hell hole they call room 105. We immediately called and asked for a refund. They pretended they couldn’t understand and sent the «maintenance man» to bring roach spray. The room was a smoking room, we requested no smoking. All the windows are screwed shut with no screens. They said talk to the manager in the morning. He sprayed and tried to fix the tv that didn’t work. He couldn’t fix it. In the morning the manager came, said under no circumstances would a refund be given. He fixed the tv. When the other disgusting problems in the room were pointed out, he couldn’t understand English again. He managed to say «because dog». Wtf. The maids were rude and refused to enter the room. They wouldn’t give us more than two towels at a time. Never «cleaned» once. The following pictures speak volumes. Included are… The vents in the a/​c covered in black mold. A rotted pair of very smelly shoes from under the stained chair. A crack pipe from between the mattresses when we changed our own sheets. The crap they used to make the crack pipe from the 20inch wide bathroom. The bathroom ceiling falling down on you. A roach smear from the wall. The piss stained mattress. The unusable filthy microwave. Missing safety instructions. The disease ridden telephone. Behind the night stand. The coffee pot that had a moldy pod left in it. A household garbage can right outside the door. We also had an icebucket with coke all over it and dead ants. They charged us $ 175 a week just for our dog and there is absolutely no where to walk him. All in all, $ 808 and 30,000 wyndam points later, this was the worst hotel experience of my life. You’re better off sleeping in the park.

i stayed here for 11 days on a business trip. one day they never even serviced my room. i asked for late checkout and was told i’d need to pay $ 10 an hour extra over the 11:30 checkout. when i did leave, they were spraying something toxic in the main courtyard. as i carried my bags to the front desk (waiting for pick up by a friend), the manager told me i had to get out faster so they could spray. i explained that i was moving as fast as i could, that i still had a half hour on my room, and this was a terrible way to speak to a guest, especially one that had been here for 11 days and spent a good chunk of change. he told me to just hurry up. i pointed out that if he wasn’t hassling me, i’d be done by now; he said if i wasn’t done in five minutes he would call the police on me — for being a paying guest that he was nasty to.
do not stay at this hotel!!!

Probably, this place deserves 3 stars, but they get an extra star for being funky and cool. The bed was okay. The bathroom was so old that it was fun. Light bulbs were out. Breakfast was nice. For the price, it was fine.

I just left this hotel in a fit of rage not even 20mins ago. I was going to stay the night, but my room was filthy (food all over the floor, wet towels everywhere, and the tv was broken). I asked for another room… same situation! I demanded a refund and the manager wouldn’t give it to me no matter what — she said she had to keep it for cleaning charges! I’ll be talking to Days Inn corporate tomorrow because this is HORRIBLE customer service. Do not stay here!

Actually I’d give 3−½ stars overall. I’ve stayed here many times and this place is pretty average. The people who own or run the inn make it 5 stars. They have always been very accommodating.

I wanted to visit my brother for the New Year’s Holiday, and being that it is an expensive time of year, tried to find the most reasonably priced lodging near his apartment for the two days my boy friend and I were in town.
Sometimes it’s worth it to spend the money.
We showed up before check-​in time on the off chance that they would have a room available before we headed out to Disney for the NYE holiday. They didn’t have anything available, so we went through the check-​in process and then they reassured us we’d have our room when we got back and someone would still be at the front desk — even though it was going to be very late at that point.
True to their word, someone was there, but they couldn’t find my scanned in credit card information I had done earlier, so I had to give it to them again. When we got into the room, we were tired so we started to get ready for bed and I pulled back the sheets.
Stained and full of pubic hair.
My boyfriend and I tried to get new sheets, but the guy at the front desk only handed us 5 – 8 «possibly clean» (his words) pillow cases. We didn’t realize they were only pillow cases until after we got back to the room.
My boyfriend went to request another room. At that point we were both exhausted, so when we got into the new room the fact that the bed did not appear to have pubic hair in it was enough for both of us to not request anything else from the hotel. [Side note: my brother had given us some of his own pillows, so I can not comment on the cleanliness of those]
Upon waking up, we realized there were quite a few things wrong with the room:
— Broken alarm clock
— Missing towel hook
— Moldy shower curtain
— MISSING SECURITY LATCH on the front door
— The room smelled of cigarettes
— A used cotton ball, toe nail clippings and other such items next to the bed
I mentioned this to the staff upon check out, and they reassured me that the manager would be in touch with me. I have not received an email or phone call from them.
I would not recommend staying here. At all. Ever. The fact that I did not get bedbugs is shocking.

I don’t know why this place has such a low rating, I had one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever known here. First the staff was friendly, the location is great and the room is clean and nice.
I was staying at a Motel 6 before we found this place and was floored how much better it was FOR THE SAME PRICE!
The room has a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, the bed was made and clean, well stocked with towels, soap and shampoo, and even had an ironing board. The AC worked beautifully and nothing at all seemed unclean, even the bathroom shower was nice.
I didn’t have a bad nights sleep in three days. I’ll never go to a motel 6 again. It’s not as pretty as the expensive attraction area hotels but for this price we are extremely satisfied.

Attending a week long class in Orlando recently, I booked the room for five days through Priceline. Although only $ 33 a night, this place was more of a Daze Inn rather than a Days Inn.
First and foremost, the motel is badly in need of renovation. The pictures on the Trip Advisor page were quite dated. The lobby, pool area and parking lot were dirty and not well maintained. The hallways were not well lit and had numerous burned out light bulbs.
The motel seemed to cater to drug dealers, prostitutes and those bordering on homeless.
I would never stay here with my family but ended up staying because all I needed was a place to crash at night while attending class during the day. Priceline does not offer a money-​back guarantee on cancelled reservations.
My room constantly smelled like Lysol. I wasn’t sure whether they piped it through or sprayed when I wasn’t around although I kept the «Do Not Disturb» sign on my door my entire stay. The one positive point about the room was the very hot water in the shower. I enjoy taking hot showers.
The free breakfast was nothing to rave about. Bagged muffins from Costco, Folger’s coffee, boxed cereal, apples and a waffle maker. Only did breakfast once — starved the rest of the week.
Made the mistake once — won’t do it again. Although staying here was much cheaper than where everyone else was in my class, sleeping in my car would have been safer…

FOUND USED CONDOMS AND JOINTS IN ROOM! DO NOT STAY HERE!
This is a picture of what we found in our nightstand drawer, just 30 minutes into our stay. LOOK
We packed up and went to the front desk, showed the picture and demanded a refund. We were told it wasn’t a problem. 30 days later, our account statement shows that they took our money and ran — no refund.
I just spoke with an assistant manager there named «Jinga» who spoke broken English. After 10 minutes of trying to solve this problem, she ultimately refused to issue a refund, claiming that there was no report of the incident. I in turn promised her I would let everyone know about this.

I would have been happier sleeping wherever the mange dog that was walking the parking lot did. After 9pm they don’t allow you to come into the lobby had to check in through a window. Room was cheap ill give them that.
Opened the door for the first time and it smelt like 3 week old cigarette smoke (didn’t ask for smoking when I booked online) and the main light switch didn’t turn anything on.
Called to switch room because of the smell and the only thing they could do was put us into an upgraded room and charge us 25 $ extra.
Would highly recommend a different hotel.

I stayed here alone while on a business trip for a seminar in winter park. Sin e I’m in accounting, I felt it was my fiscal duty to save money on my travel expenses and this hotel only cost me 36 dollars a night for the 5 nights I stayed! Great deal!
I’m a smoker so my choice of room was a queen smoking room. That being said, I guess the smell of my room is to be expected. No ding there. I’m not sure where the «suites» are but this is the smallest room I’ve ever been in. I reserved it for two adults because I never mention I’m traveling alone. Got one bed and a sofa. The room did have a fridge and small microwave. Bathroom is tiny with no room to turn around and no tub. Only a stand up shower. If traveling with small kids beware of that.
My bed was made daily and I got clean towels each day. Ac unit was loud but worked fine. Toilet flushed only if you held the handle down until done.
The pool looked clean, but walking to ut was stinky because no one monitored the garbage in the common walkways. On the stairs someone left a used soda cup from a fast food place the day I got here. 5 days later it is still there. Parking lot in back is dark and creepy if you’re alone but I did not experience any noisy neighbors or parking lot rukus.
I only ate breakfast one day. It was juice, cornflakes or branflakes, make your own waffles, make your own white toast, or small muffins (blueberry I think). Better off eating elsewhere in my opinion. No cereal for kids and no variety.
All in all I guess it’s ok here if you want to stay cheap! But don’t expect anything special or extra.
