Days Inn Council Bluffs/9th Ave

Horrendous, dirty, smoky. Dingy and LOUD.
Do not waste your time at this hotel! It’s a rip off!!! Disgusting.

One of the most awful motels I have ever stayed in… bar none.
We were desperate for a room when visiting my aunt in the hospital and I didn’t do my usual research in finding a place. Shame on me. If I had read the reviews on Unilocal,I would have known to avoid this site.
The rooms were dirty, the towels were tiny pieces of sandpaper fabric, and the staff was unresponsive. There was a fist fight in the parking lot outside my window which the staff did not address. I ended up calling the police myself.
I will NEVER stay here again and suggest you run away.

Nasty, outdated, and the walls are paper thin. I heard everything in the hallway, and next door. Breakfast was terrible, and free cereal in the morning isn’t really worth anything if the milk is sitting out, in a jug on the counter, spoiling. Only the toast was edible. If you’re not on a terribly tight budget, stay somewhere else. I’m sure anyone who would stay here already expects that and can’t do much about it, if they’re looking to stay on budget. It’s unfortunate because the point of a cheap motel isn’t to get lesser quality, but rather a quick, CLEAN, inexpensive place to rest for the night, get a quick shower and get back on the road again in the morning refreshed, clean and with a full stomach. I know that’s why I chose a motel, I’m not on vacation… I just need clean shelter for the night and a place for personal hygiene. I have stayed at other motels and not all are dives. You can’t leave refreshed when the bed is completely uncomfortable! I actually hurt worse when I got up, next time I’ll just sleep in my back seat, and spend the money saved on a decent breakfast at a diner. The only upside to this place, and the reason for which I chose it was because they allow dogs.

Less than 1 star! Room was dirty… dust on many surfaces, visible stains on the mattress, hair in tub, and the coffee pot wasn’t even emptied from the last guest. If I had a choice I would have left and paid for a better hotel. I was grossed out and uncomfortable the whole night. Shame on AAA for putting me here.
