Days Inn Sutter Creek

I’m giving this hotel 5 stars because it was much better than I expected. Days Inn’s are usually 2 star hotels but this particular location seemed more like a 3 star hotel to me. Hotel staff were polite and professional, hotel was very clean and quiet, room was big and had some good amenities, slept great both nights. Good location too– right down the street from cute little downtown. We had a nice stay!

Apparently you cannot use the bathroom or talk in your room after 10 pm or the rudest desk clerk ever will bang on your door and threaten to call the police because you are too noisy. The hotel itself is in poor repair and very dated. I will never stay in this hotel again.

Any chance to bring our dog on a trip is a plus, it’s just hard to find hotels that allow this. They do have a $ 15 per night charge for the dog but it’s worth it. The only thing we weren’t aware of is that you can not leave your dog alone in the room and if you do they will charge you $ 150.
Other than that it’s a decent hotel, nothing fancy but not disgusting. Decent breakfast, just normal continental style. Overall a good bargain.

For those of you who read my reviews, you’ll know I don’t hand out 1-​stars often. The following is the short list of reasons why I’d stamp this Day’s Inn listing with a big fat «AVOID.»
The room: Dingy, dark, dated. Some of the outlets didn’t work. The furnishings were old and horrible. The walls were paper thin and we could hear the full conversation of the two couples staying next door to us beginning at 5:30 am. And apparently the only bed option in the hotel is two beds per room. If you’re a couple, prep for separate sleeping or one cramped night on a hard mattress.
The night clerk: This woman has one of the worst attitudes I’ve ever come across. While most hotel desk clerks are almost overly cheerful, she is just the opposite. I talked to her twice, once in person and once over the phone. Her downer disposition was immediately apparent. You know those kinds of people who are already defensive and argumentative before you say anything? That’s her.
The service: Days Inn will do whatever they can to route you through their main call center instead of the hotel itself. That’s why this Day’s Inn’s number isn’t listed on Unilocal.Each time I’ve called, I end up talking to a person who would have no idea about my personal hotel experience because she is managing calls for hotels across the country. On my last call, I was transferred to another department that was already closed for the evening. It was only after some Googling that I found my hotel’s actual number.
Charges/​Cost: The cost for what we got was way too high. I’ve paid less and gotten more at $ 50 roadside hotels. They did have a continental breakfast, which included pre-​made omelet loafs that needed to be nuked. Yuck. Even worse, they charged me $ 229 for what was supposed to be a $ 109 one-​night stay. I called them about this and they said it was my bank’s fault. The next day, miraculously, the extra charge had been refunded.
Please people, the Shenandoah Inn is 20 minutes away and for the same price you can get a far superior room with a better view. That’s where guests at my wedding stayed and I’m so glad we made that choice.

I stayed here for a month because I worked here for pg&e. My stay was amazing. I loved it.
I dont know what everybody else is complaining about when they say its an average room-​duh, you arent paying for the Wynn or Bellagio in vegas!-which ive also stayed at, and doesnt make the experience here any less.
Even though the room might be plain, it is very clean and very well kept. The sheets are crystal clean, I never had a problem sleeping on the mattresses, and the showers and bathroom were sparkling clean. Penny is a very good housekeeper. She was also very nice, which made a prolonged stay more nice.
Everybody at the front desk was very down to earth and accommodating. Even when the breakfast ends at 930 And I come out late at 10 cuz I am a sleepyhead, Lourdes went and got me milk from the back cuz I always use it in my smoothie. And btw as someone who travels for work constantly and had stayed at lots of hotels, the breakfast is very good compared to other hotels. They have wheat bread! And flavored bagels! That doesnt happen at best western, trust me! No waffle maker, but I didn’t care cuz I dont eat that. Egg omelet with cheese
They have about 6 diff ppl at the front desk and everyone always greeted me when I came back from work and left. They’re just nice. Misplaced my keycard lots of times and they never gave me shit about it.
Tv had all the cable channels, flat screen. Microwave, fridge, minifreezer compartment. Surrounding was not noisy, very serene as their lot is big and far away from next property. They actually had a luggage cart, thank god. Alot of these hotels don’t.
If you’re ok with plain but like cleanliness, stay here. The price is very good for what you’re getting.
Ps. I loved their ice machine! Haha, it was a very good quality one… and I use alot of ice. :p

Staff are wonderful, very helpful. For a Days Inn the place is great, they even have a chandelier.

Ok rooms very plain but the bed us clean and comfortable and the town is really cute and fun.

Stayed in what was described as a «suite.» It did have an extra sitting room, but it was pretty useless. The room did have a microwave sitting on top of a small refrigerator — pretty hokey. As others have mentioned, the bed was real soft and lacked support. Overall the hotel was clean and the room was clean, but will probably try one of the B&B’s next time we need to stay in Sutter Creek.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, breakfast is limited unless you like carbs and more carbs. For the price it’s worth your money, easy walk to downtown Sutter Creek. If you’re just planning on sleeping at your hotel and not spending extra time there it’s more than adequate!

When we checked in on 9Nov ~ 5pm the clerk ask to have my wife’s drivers license out. I should have asked why but didn’t, won’t ever forget again/​He scanned it and I asked why. His comment was it speeds things up. To this point he spent all kinds of time on the computer checking something with us just waiting along with another guest waiting to check in. When we made the reservations with corporate all the needed information was gathered. A look at the surface of the DL would verify the information. This does not appear to be a high crime area and two senior adults do not look like villains it was un-​nerving to have them take all the information from my wife’s CA drivers license.
There will not be a next time that I will allow this to happen and if you are guarding your information perhaps another brand is an option.
This sets the stage even before I even saw a pillow to sleep on!

I’ve stayed in plenty of hotels/​motels and this one was fine for me. Stayed w/​friends, they took care of the check-​in part, heard no complaints, staff seemed friendly to me and the breakfast was the typical, not fancy hotel breakfasts, toast, bagels, etc. I liked the set up of the place w/​the staircase. Some of my friends were noisy, and they didn’t even have complaints about the staff. Room was typical/​clean. They don’t have a pool, but didn’t claim they did, that being the only downside to my stay. Oh, and the shower pressure was fine too! We walked to Sutter Creek early on Sunday morning and that was a nice walk also.

I mean I have stayed in worse hotels, but I still didnt fully enjoy my stay here.
The staff in my experience was friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was just ok, not too many choices to choose from but I was already expecting that from the reviews I read. The beds arent comfortable at all! I had a pretty bad night waking up every hour. Don’t plan on coming back to Sutter Creek, but if I was I’m not sure if I would stay here again.

After a horrid stay at the Amador Best Western in Jackson, we called and booked a room at the Days Inn. Lourdes was at the front desk and was so accommodating. We had told her of our terrible experience and she gave us a room on the end and the price was extremely reasonable. The room was so nice, quiet, and above all really clean. The staff was great, and the breakfast was basic, but included in the price. Coffee, cereals, bagels, cream cheese, peanut butter, danish, muffins, fresh fruit. and, did I say, lots of coffee.
Great place to stay for the price. We will be back.

I made reservations for another hotel in town and when we got there realized that I’d made them for the wrong weekend. They didn’t have room for us so I made a quick call to the Days in and they were able to accommodate. They were super friendly and I am so glad we were able to stay here — they even honored a lower price that our friends were paying. Thank you Days Inn!

Next time Erin and Holly should just do one review between them and not double dip.
Stayed at the Days Inn last night and found it to be an average experience. The check in was quick as we were the only ones checking in at the time.
The room was clean and we didn’t experience any noise from other rooms or the street. The shower was fine with very hot water, but the towels could have been a little larger.
Those who complained about the distance to town not being walkable – I feel very sorry for. The distance to the downtown area of old Jackson is exactly ¹⁄₃ mile. If you can’t walk that distance and have no disability other than being obese and/​or lazy, you should probably not leave your couch.
The breakfast was minimal with coffee, juice, bagels, sweetrolls, and 2 kinds of dry cereal. My main complaint was that there was only one table seating about 6, and a couch and easy chair with a small coffee table where you could put your food. There was also a high bar with 2 stools which could be used.
I think if they offer breakfast one of their conference rooms could be used if you want to sit down and eat. Otherwise don’t even offer breakfast.
An average stay for an average price.

My wife and I have never been to Sutter Creek, but decided to visit for a quick get away. When checking in to the Days Inn we were cheerfully greeted and immediately felt at home. Our room was big, clean and comfy. The location was perfect. We walked to boutiques, galleries, wine tasting shops, and a steak dinner. Love this place. We will be back!

Price is reasonable. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay near wine tasting in Amador County, this is the place for you.
But, i definitely think the $ 50 extra you will spend on a B&B closer to «down town» will be worth it.
We had guests stay here for a wedding because there were a lot of people and it had the most rooms and it was affordable. While the person arranging the group reservations was AMAZINGLY helpful with A LOT of things like finding a shuttle bus for us, since Days Inn does not provide.
But, the night person who manned the desk, when a lot of people checked in, was ridiculously unhelpful. He had me put a credit card down, but then refused to give me a key even though my name was on the room just because we had two names on the room. When we asked for different cab companies to call for guests that were unable to drive after the reception, he gave us the same number 2x even though we said they were not answering. And, gave us no other help. I had out of town bags I wanted to pass out and asked him how we could do that and he had no suggestions to help us. When I said i would just leave them at their doors he told me not to do that either… not helpful at all.

Um… really?
One stays at a hotel to get rest… to be comfortable and sleep… right?
The walls in this hotel are thinner than wax paper. You will hear EVERYTHING going on around you. Showers, toilets flushing, people checking in and checking out, talking, TV, snoring, cars parking, doors opening and closing, traffic, etc.
Within 15 minutes I asked for a new room… to no avail.
Our TV/​Cable did not work. Three different employees couldn’t figure it out.
The window-​mounted AC unit above us was dripping water atop our AC unit all night long.
Upon checking out, I asked for a discount… to no avail.
$ 100 for a loud, old, dumpy room.
Upside: The room was clean and the employees were friendly.
We’ve been to El Dorado & Amador county many, many times and will never return to this «hotel».

On a recent trip to Carson Pass I was looking for an affordable place to stay. I found Days Inn had a relatively great price and since it was basically on our way to our destination we stayed there.
Upon arrival around ten, on Friday evening, the registration guy made jokes about me and my ‘daughters’. Have you ever seen old movies where a guy checks in for a one night’er with a young woman and he always refers to her as his ‘daughter’? Was this guy trying to be cute or really insinuate something?
We were sitting in our room talking when the phone rang. Someone had complained that we were being too loud. What??? There were three of us having a conversation and occasionally laughing. No dancing, music, fighting, furniture moving going, etc. just talking. I have to admit this really made me angry. I went to the front desk to lodge my own complaint. Seriously, no talking in your room. even on Friday night?
If Days Inn doesn’t want three people in a room talking then they should not offer rooms that accommodate more than one person. They should also have a disclaimer that no noise of any level will be tolerated. Additionally, if they know that people expect it to be dead silent, then they shouldn’t put three people in a room in the middle of the hotel.
Finally, as I was trying to leave, the same guy from the night before insisted that I ‘check out’ so he could verify the charges. Ummm… we checked in at 10:00, left by 8:00, and didn’t pick up the phone. Oh, I forgot, he probably wanted to add the ‘extra noise’ fee to my bill.
He then said he hoped my ‘daughters’ and I had a good day!

We have stayed here at least 5 times over the last few years. First few times were great, the place was relatively new and clean. But over the last couple of years, it’s becoming more and more run down.
The room we had last Saturday, (106) was like the cops had served a search warrant on the place or someone hosted a cage fighting event. Front door was dragging and hard to close, the little security bar had been ripped out of the door and was non existent, there was a hole in the wall where the door knob had slammed into it also breaking the door stop, the bathroom door was like it had been recently kicked off the hinges and wouldn’t close all the way, the reading lights at bedside didn’t work and when I went to see if it was plugged in behind the bed, (which it was), I can tell you it never gets cleaned back there. Yikes! And the trim was torn off a leg of a nightstand leaving small nails exposed.
Memo to housekeeping, clean behind the headboards and because the shower curtains are too long and lay in the tub, when you turn on the shower you are quickly reminded that many people usually pee in the shower. It’s OK to wash the shower curtains!!! Pretty gross.
Price was good especially for an event weekend and the beds were comfortable. On duty managers were very friendly, but someone needs to crack the whip. I just don’t know if I can get past the pee smell in the shower to come back
