• General location. closeness to interstate highway, shopping, eateries.
• One of the 1st assigned rooms had a strong pet smell.

“After getting assigned different rooms the property was fine, rooms cleaner with a pleasant order. One of the two rooms first assigned had strong unpleasant pet odor. Once brought to the attention of the front desk staff, different rooms were assigned which met our expectations. Would stay at this property again. With an insulin diabetic in our group, the standard refrigerators and microwaves in the rooms was a welcomed feature.”

• I liked the easy access and convenience to location I visited.

“The hotel overall was good. I did not use any of the facilities available; however, when I asked about a drink machine, I didnt get a good response. Something like I think it's broken. Small things like this go a long way in forming good and bad opinions of a place. This obviously lowered my opinion.”

• It was convenient for what I needed.
• When we put the do not disturb hanger on the door the maid came in anyway.

“The management was very helpful and pleasant. the only problem we had was when we placed the do not disturb tag on the door while we were out, we had medication and medical supplies (my daughter is an insulin dependant diabetic) the maid came in and moved stuff around. other than that the hotel was great.”

• Nothing.
• Old, smelly.

“The chemical smell in the room was over-powering. I checked in late, around 10:00 P.M. Upon entering room I noticed a very strong odor of chemical smell, a deodorizer or odor counter-actant. I stayed in the room for 30 minutes, but when the string scent or odor seemed to be effecting my breathing. I called front desk and they offered another room. I entered and checked that room, but it was the same overpowering odor. I elected to stick it out the night because it was late to be moving. There should be some level of control.”

• WiFi, continental breakfast included.
• Rooms not super clean.

“The room was okay for the price. There were various specks on the walls in the bathroom. Never a good sign.”

• Continental breakfast; staff friendliness.
• Dirty; unsanitary; needed some remodeling.

“I would not recommend this hotel unless they thoroughly clean it. The sheets were soiled and the blankets and quilts needed replacing. The pillows themselves were old and stained. The desk/table chair was stained. The carpet was very clean however. I was thoroughly disappointed.”

• It was clean.
• It felt like it was a motel. Cheap and no frills.

“It was a place to sleep. It was clean and somewhat comfortable. I can't say much more than that. It is not a place I would pick to stay but not having much choice it fit the bill.”

• Close to destination.
• Dirty, mold in coffee pot, dirty shower.

“The internet was down and I could not check in until 20 minutes after my arrival. The room was not the cleanest. I went to brew some water in the coffee pot for tea, and there was mold in the chamber. The whole room smelled like vomit for the better part of the evening. Not enough blankets. I should have just gone home.”

• Orange juice at breakfast was cold and good.
• This is an old holiday Inn from the 1960's and looks it!

“This is not a great place. Rooms smell of smoke, and are not up to my standards of cleanliness. I need an iron and ironing board, but this hotel does not offer them. This is the kind of place that usually fills up with truck drivers from the interstate. This is a one star motel and is not clean enough for me.”

• Convenient.
• The price was way too high for the room.

“The room was small and modest, but not bad. Clean and equipped with small refrigerator and microwave as well as coffee pot. Would stay again, but not at that price. Continental breakfast was very modest but fully stocked. Cannot say anything bad about it. Bed was comfortable. Room was small. Bathroom, smaller.”

• Free wireless internet.
• Elevator not working - climbing 3 flights of stairs.

“Good location near a mall and other hotels. Staff was very friendly and welcoming late at night. When told that the elevator was not working and we would have to haul our substantial luggage up 3 flights of stairs the attendant said "sorry." well, sorry doesn't cost you anything buddy! I would have preferred he offer some compensation ($5 off the bill?).”

• Good location.
• Hotel was mediocre at best, a little used and old.

“Hotel is in a good location, but the hotel is old and needs a new facelift. The bed was like sleeping on a bail of hay, hard and lumpy.”

• The location was pretty convenient and the lobby and entrance attractive.
• I had to drag my suitcase around the building in the rain to the exterior elevator. This area outside of the lobby was dirty.

“I was originally relieved when we drove up because the lobby area was neat and clean and the desk staff was helpful. The room however was a different story. I had to go back outside into the rain and walk halfway around the building to an elevator. The outside area was not well maintained and did not feel safe. When I got to the room, it smelled of urine. The room was overall not clean, but the bed linens appeared to be, so I decided that I would probably not do any better by asking to move to another room and stayed. I would not stay here again.”

• Provided micro fridge.
• Too much noise from cleaning staff in mornings.

“I would not rate this motel a two star facility based on the overall cleanliness, and the noise from outside entrances. I do not feel I got what I paid for here.”

• Location close to Delaware Slots.
• Very poor complimentary breakfast.

“This hotel feel dingy. Last time I got the Fairfield Inn which is across the street for LESS than I paid this time and that was a GREAT experience. Everything at that hotel was excellent and far surpassed my expectations. In comparison, I was disappointed.”

• Nothing.
• The place stinks and is not even a one star.

“All Days Inn, in general, are not fit to be even a one star. This place stinks; literally. You have to return to the front desk several times to get the room keys working. The towels, sheets, etc., are always stained. The carpets and all furniture are filthy and old. ”
