• Rooms too small, only one bed in the room, would not want to stay there again.

“The rooms are too small, there was only one queen size bed in the room, I was traveling with a friend so we did not have separate beds. Would not like to stay there again. Star rating should be a one, not two!”

• The shower was clean.
• The room had a strange odor and the coffee pot brewed coffee that had a greasy film on it (did not drink).

“Our windows didn't have screens and room had bothersome odor. We wanted two double beds but the double bed rooms were booked even though we requested. So I paid an additional $ for a suite we didn't want (again - wanted two beds and ended up with one and a pull-out).”

• Hard water.

“Well-lit rooms with comfortable beds and a full range of cable TV channels. Breakfast is acceptable and the room was clean and fresh.”

• Quick breakfast in the morning is great.
• Alarm in next room went off loudly before 7:00 am. That room was unoccupied. Staff could not deal with it for about 30 minutes. Not good.

“Place was clean and had a nice breakfast for families in the morning. Negative: not enough staff to deal with situations during the morning rush. Alarm clock in adjacent room went off loudly for close to 30 minutes. No staff available to rectify the matter since she was busy at the desk.”

• New and clean.
• Very small rooms! Small bed!

“Nice and clean, okay for one business traveler. The rooms were very small, almost claustrophobic. Mini-fridge and microwave oven left sitting on the floor because there was no room for them on any counter.”

• Best pillow I ever encountered in a Hotel.
• Room was TINY, and extremely overcluttered, Had to walk sideways between the bed/desk/chairs and the walls.

“The hotel was very hard to find. It was located in the rear of a cluster of hotels, with only a small sign by the road (which pointed in the wrong direction) to guide you to it, the lobby was not marked at all from the outside. I drove around the building twice before I could figure out what door might lead to the lobby to check in. When I got into the room, I was extremely disappointed. The lighting in the room was horrible. There were two lights in the room that functioned, Both extemely bright flourecents. The room was way too small for the single queen size bed, desk and chair. One had to walk sideways throughout the room to squeeze between the bed & the desk, or wall, or small fridge, or ratty rollaway desk chair. Though the room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the pillow's the best I have ever experienced, I would not stay there again, or recommend it to anyone. The motel 6 next door had a lower posted rate than the rate I paid and the rooms were just as clean, and much larger and less cluttered.”

• The rooms all have bench window seats and windows with screens that open wide.
• The bed was a little hard, but that's to be expected at a mid rate hotel.

“This is a great, clean, newly built hotel close to I 65 and state road 52. It's about a 20 minute drive to Purdue campus in day time traffic. Queen bed rooms are small, but cozy. The cushioned window seats are a great touch, as are the screened windows that open wide to let in lots of air. I have stayed here more than once and would recommend it to bargain hunters.”

• Extensive, complimentary continental breakfast.
• Somewhat inconveniently located; off frontage road with lots of construction nearby.

“Compared to other days inns, I would say this was nicer than most. The only negative issue is the somewhat inconvenient location. There are numerous hotels located directly on the main route. There a handful of hotels, Days inn included, that must be accessed off a frontage road. There was a lot of road construction going on during our stay and the lanes were reduced, so this effected how long it took to travel to and from the hotel. The actual hotel is well maintained. The bathroom is large and A/C worked well. Rather than just the standard bagels and 2 varieties of cereals and drinks found at other days inn for breakfast, this hotel offered a wide selection. They had a fruit basket with several selections which remained available throughout the day. Breakfast selections included numerous packaged cereals, Danish, donuts, bagels with cream cheese & peanut butter, waffles. And probably other items Im forgetting now.”

• The room was small and uncomfortable.

“This hotel was rated a 2.5 star hotel and does not come close to meeting that rating in comparison to other 2.5 star hotels. The price was high for the quality of the room. However, do not recommend trusting the ratings in the Lafayette, IN area. This hotel was a true disappointment; however, you couldn't have found a friendlier night clerk.”

• The location is convenient to local attractions and close to shopping areas.
• The service is terribly bad.

“1. We indicated a non-smoking room in the reservation, but we were put into a smoking room. When we tried to ask for a non-smoking room, we were told they can not change it as we already booked. 2. The Days Inn's check-in time is 3:00 pm. We arrived at the hotel at 4:30 pm, but we were not allowed to check in. We were told we need to wait for about another 45 to 60 minutes because the room is not ready. While we were waiting in the lobby, we found several later comers could get check-in. 3. When we asked to talk to the Manager on Duty, we were told the manger was not available and he/she is on the way. We waited in the lobby for 45 minutes and decided to leave for dinner. Until we left, we were still not able to check in and the manager did not appear.4. After we come back to the hotel around 8:00 pm, we got check-in. But during the check-in we were facing a cold face in the front desk. This is the worst hotel experience we ever had in the US.”

• I did not like that they did not have a pool, and offered the use of the sister hotels pool next store for an additional $5.00 a person.

“This hotel was very nice, and the staff was excellent. The only thing I could say bad about hotel is that the breakfast was very limited, and to use a pool, you had to go to the sister hotel next store and pay $5.00 a person. I could definitely recommend this hotel very highly still.”

• Smoking room had bad odor. Unhelpful staff.

“This is your basic one or two-star hotel. The neighboring guests were loud. The room was what one would expect, except that we were placed in a smoking room. The odor caused by whatever was used to try to cover up the smoke odor was foul. The person at the front desk could not have been less helpful. And the breakfast spread next morning was lame. I know breakfast was "free" but still. I would not return.”

“Didn't like it. Not as good as Quality Inn. Would not recommend it or stay there again. Couldn¿t get wireless internet to work and phone had a buzz in it making it difficult to make business calls. They gave me a different bigger room the second night, but the internet still gave me a lot of problems. The staff response to problems was very average at best. Did not have a good experience.”

“In the lobby of the hotel the plaster and drywall was crumbling and lying all over the floor. Check in is 3:00pm, or so we were told. Showed up at 3:45pm and our room was still not ready. Front desk attendant went to see how long it would be until it was ready. She came back down and offered us a different room that was ready so we went upstairs to the room she said was ready only to find that the cleaning crew had just started cleaning it!”
