Days Inn Cherokee/Smokey Mountains

A hop skip and a jump to the roulette tables and slot machines!!! All the other hotels were booked on a holiday weekend except the Days Inn– awesome! So I was able to overlook the fact that it was a days inn and everything looked yak-​inducing and slow draining sink. Gross. But how much time are you going to spend in your room anyway? They have free toothpaste if you are into that thing

This place is a cheap motel run by crooks– don’t be fooled by the nice Days Inn sign out front. It’s basically a bottom-​of-​the-​barrel motel but with a much higher price than all the other «no-​name» cheap motels in Cherokee, apparently just because of the Days Inn name. I checked in late one night when I arrived in Cherokee with nowhere to stay. I told them I wanted to stay for 9 nights, but they said they only had 5 nights available. So I told them that I might stay the 5 nights, but since I had to move anyway, I might just move the next day if I found something cheaper. They told me if I paid for all 5 nights up front they would give me a discount, and that I could check out anytime and they would refund any unused nights. Sounded good to me, so I paid them up front in full for 5 nights.
Well, after 3 nights I found another motel that was essentially the same low quality, but was half the price of the «discount» price they quoted me (that really wasn’t a discount at all), had availability for the entire rest of my stay, and even included a microwave and refigerator. So I went to check out of Days Inn, but they rudely refused to give me a refund for my unused nights. When I asked Pam the manager to speak with the owner, she refused. I will be filing a complaint with Days Inn corporate, and I will be filing a fraud complaint with my credit card, but I wanted to warn anyone who is thinking about staying here: STAY AWAY! There are many similar cheap motels to stay in Cherokee for much less cost, that won’t be stealing from you.
