“You get what you pay for!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

We stopped here enroute to Boston and used a Room Saver coupon (otherwise known as the green exit guide) for a really low rate. The chipper dude at the front assured us that there was internet and that they had entire floors that were non-smoking. There's also some kind of lobby sign that the place is under renovation.

This is an old old joint. Our floor was smoky and we were met by garbage bags that other guests had placed out in the hallway (including empty beer bottles). The internet didn't work at our end of the hallway.

This is good for a fast sleep and cheap rates. We woke at 6am...laughed at the paltry breakfast (it's a small hutch with coffee and creamers)....and made our way to Denny's across the way. Ummm, Denny's was interesting -- loud cracking employees, guests jamming themselves with food and a tired decor.

We rushed our way out of Syracuse!

“DON'T BOOK IT!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

OMG ... This was the most discusting place I have ever stayed in! Terrible! Springs poking through the flat box spring, stains and burn holes all over the mattress' and linens. Toilets, sinks and showers are dirty, ceiling in the bathroom falling down, dirt and hair all over the carpets, I wouldn't dare walk accross in socks let alone bare feet, and prostitutes making calls in rooms next to us every 30 minutes or sooo. Bugs in the hallways, (none in our room that we saw), most lights didn't work. Sleep in a tent before you get a room here!!!!

“Blocked Internet Make things difficult”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at this Days Inn last week on a Sunday Night. The room was average at best with an odd odor in it. It seemed pretty clean as was the bathroom. What made me unhappy was that they have put some type of block on their internet and I was unable to get on sites for work that i needed too. I checked several different other sites and some of those were blocked as well. I will never stay there again or a hotel that it blocking its internet service. Very aggravating. I finally went across street to Red Roof with my laptop and was able to access the site I needed by sitting in their parking lot for 15 minutes.

“You can get much better for your money”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked this hotel as a simple halfway point break in a long trip so we weren't looking for anything spectacular. We arrived about 10 pm and found the room to be very warm. Upon checking we found the heating/cooling unit didn't work. We called the front desk and the "gentleman at the desk said he would be right up. He called about 20 minutes later with some questions and it took another 20 minutes before he showed up. He took a look at the unit and said it was broken, ya think??????? Then he said there was nothing he could do because they were full but that the management would make an adjustment on the bill in the morning. We called another hotel, got our things together and went down to the front desk. We told the clerk we were leaving and asked for a refund. He said that he was not authorized o give a refund if the room had been occupied for more that an hour but we could call in the morning and talk to the manager. He gave us a paper with the phone number on it and, when I asked for his name he gave me his first name and adamantly refused to give me his last name. When I asked if he had a problem with giving me his last name he said, "as a matter of fact, I do". I called back the next morning and was told that someone from Days Inn would get back to us in 24 hours, no one did. I called back the next day and finally got someone who was appropriately appalled and apologetic at our experience and arranged a refund. Interesting to note that there was no kind of "comp" offered. On a somewhat positive note,the room and the bathroom were clean. Needless to say, we will never stay there again.

Room Tip: Stay away from this place
