Days Inn Clinton

Possibly the worst hotel I have ever gone to. We didn’t end up staying as after they showed us the third room, only slightly less dirty than the first, we asked to cancel our reservation and we onto the the Hampton. $ 30 more but clean, and super comfortable and clean bedding! We were pretty tired as we had driven over 800 miles and in the past Days Inn was a budget hotel but typically clean if not updated. If there was a way I would add the pictures I took. EEK doesn’t even cover it.

If you like bugs, dirt and grime then by all means this is the hotel for you. I had driven 14 hours and had another 8 to go so needed a place to take a hot shower and get some sleep. Unfortunately I choose to get a room a Days Inn, there are probably 6 other hotels in the same area and I am sure they are all in much better condition than this place. This hotel is a slum and the owner is a slum lord. He/​she invests nothing back into the rooms. The carpet probably needed to be replaced ten years ago and isn’t clean. It’s visibly dirty and grimy to the touch. I refused to use the shower and choose to continue to stew in my own sweat and stink. I laid on the bed and the mattress had been built up i the middle of the mattress. You could choose to lay on this elevated hump or either side of it and slide off the mattress. I checked in at 9pm and left at 330am. If I hadn’t have been by myself I wouldn’t have even stayed that long. Super 8 is next door, Holiday Inn Express is a few blocks away. I have no doubt either one of those places would have been much cleaner than the days inn. DO NOT STAY HERE, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!!!

No way, no how. Find another place.
There are at least 10 other hotels in Clinton … And they’re all better than this place.
Will add a star if I don’t end up with scabies.

I took pictures of the rooms because both were disgusting and would love to share them with you. Both rooms had: filthy, moldy caulk around commode and tub; yellow and brown stains on baseboards and corners behind the commode; moldy door frames at the hinges; dust on bed frame and dirty floors around bed; dotted stains on the sheets; worn out pillows; plastic on the mattresses; no continental breakfast as advertised; rotting, loose boards and exposed nail heads on walkway to the rooms; murky pool water the color of guacamole and no guests were at the pool on an August evening in Texas; room next door had wood over the window but it was painted the trim color of the hotel; noisy air conditioner; unpleasant odor in rooms. Paid for two nights, two rooms, but only stayed one. So worried about bedbugs we kept our luggage in the car. This was my worst hotel experience ever, including international travel. Budget hotels should not mean disgusting.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Don’t let the lovely renovated lobby fool you, the rooms are straight out of the 60s. Pea green carpet, electrical power strip with black burn marks, mold, flies, sheets that don’t fit on the bed and the bottom sheet pops off and wads up every time you move, flies, I’m afraid to take a shower here, the outdoor pool is open until 11pm and the entire hotel circles it, the flies, TV remote doesn’t work. Did I mention the flies? Shame on you Days Inn… I expected WAY more out of your brand than this fly infested hovel.

COCKROACHES. We had three cockroaches in our room. Highly unhappy. And when we called the night desk clerk to get a refund/​help, he was extremely combative and unhelpful. We were forced to leave in the middle of the night.
However, there were two woman working when we checked in. They were super friendly and helpful. Great customer service. If we could rate them without the cockroaches, it’d be a five.

Decent But *Severely* Over Priced
Pros: AC worked great.
Good water pressure.
Clean shower.
Clean toilet.
Clean microwave.
Clean warm-​ish pool.
Cons:
Bugs in room, some dead. Some alive.
Housekeeping took our towels but failed to give us new ones.
Housekeeping didn’t give us fresh bedding which makes me really wonder when the last time the bedding was washed.
We had to request that they unlock the pool as they closed it about 2 hours early.
Wifi sucked.
Door didn’t lock right.
Didn’t feel safe being by myself.
Exercise room & ice room are literally motel rooms that have been sort of converted.
Staff was almost non existent.
Mini fridge didn’t work right. As in barely kept food cold & freezer was a total bust.
Removed everything including car charger from car.
All in all we’d probably stay here again, given it wasn’t $ 80 freakin bucks! We felt this was more of a $ 40 room. Certainly not $ 80! No free breakfast either. Have to go to re crappy Branding Iron attached to the motel or elsewhere. I’ll review that shortly. Oh & don’t bother with the «Do Not Disturb» sign. Ours got stolen off our door :/

I can’t believe I was charged $ 81 for this crappy room. The 1″ long booger on the wall. The stanky smoke smell. The clapboard exterior wall. The door that doesn’t close properly. The bed was relatively comfortable. If I had paid $ 50 I’d be happy. But the overcharge is obscene.
The pool was pretty nice, though, and the bed was OK. But seriously… $ 81!!!

This is one of the worst hotel i have ever stayed at. It is a filthy mess. We had to walk across the parking lot and get a room at the super 8. Way nicer and the same price. Don’t waste your money here.

This place is old and run down. The sheets and towels were approaching worn out, and even the batteries in the TV remote were dead. The bathroom door was warped and wouldn’t close, and the front door had no weather stripping. That probably explains the little black beetles in the room. I love googling «pictures of bedbugs» at midnight. They weren’t, but still.
Most importantly, the Hampton inn is less than a mile away, and much nicer.

After complaining to Days Inn directly (actually I sent the complaint from the hotel room), I received a quick response from the Wyndham hotels that the (franchised) hotel owners would be contacting me directly. This didn’t happen, and after a few weeks I wrote back to the rep asking for an update. Within three days they offered to refund me half the charge of the room, which I accepted. I appreciate the Wyndham hotel groups’ quick response, although I doubt I will be willing to test the Days Inn waters again, not with so many other hotel options out there.
