Days Inn Dunkirk Fredonia, Fredonia

My partner and I stayed at the Days Inn in Fredonia-Dunkirk, specifically because we needed a pet-friendly hotel. We have a seventeen-year-old cat who needs medicatation. Apparently, I was supposed to sign a green slip of paper when I checked in, stating their policy toward pets, with my room number on it. I was not given this paper to sign at check-in. Two nights later, our cat slipped out of the room, even though we were diligent about watching her. The front desk clerk informed me she was found in the hallway. The manager on duty, B., and another clerk, D., assumed she was a stray who wandered into the hotel-because there was no green slip of paper on file for a cat. They released her into the courtyard near a thickly wooded area. My partner and I searched frantically for her, aided by the front desk clerk's girlfriend. We stopped at 2 am. At 7 am I searched the thickets and brambles again, as well as the dumpsters around the courtyard. I went to the front desk and spoke to the current manager and the groundskeeper. Not five minutes later, he found our cat outside a dumpster near a forested area-one I'd searched not five minutes earlier. I thanked him profusely. The manager and clerk who put the cat out tried to blame my partner and I for not watching her carefully, not having a collar on her and not filling out the green paper-which I wasn't given. That manager, B. told me that they thought they were being kind by releasing her since "We could have called animal control." I replied that at least then, I would have known where to go and get her. I told the manager in the morning that I did not get that paper and she said the clerk will be written up for that. I also said that they should hold a loose animal in a closet with some water till the morning-by then a frantic hotel guest will surely come looking for it. Then they could release it. Hold it for at least 5 hours before doing that. Or call animal control so the owner could go and get it. How can you assume that in a pet-friendly hotel, a cat is a stray-especially one that doesn't act like one? Those green slips of paper could get lost-or, as in my case, the desk clerk could have forgotten to give the owner one at check-in? Pet owners, make sure your traveling pet has a collar with ID, and that you are aware of where they are at all times. Bring a few printed pictures of your pet-maybe give one to the front desk at check-in. The morining manager, a nice lady, informed me that "pet-friendly" means they allw pets; they are not responsible for them. You are.

It is a nice place to spend a night. We were going to Buffalo and stayed at this hotel for a night. It is just off major route I-90. I loved the food at their restaurant. And the service was good. Their staff was helpfull even if you called them 3 in the morning. They even kept the pool open for kids late at night. A+

We have been comeing here for the last 3 yaers, due to the fact that our son goes to SUNY Fredoia, its only a mile away from suny and we have fell in love with the resturant last year and we alredy made plans to come back this summer.

The only nice thing that I can say about this hotel is the location was perfect and the workers were nice. Other than that the place is very dirty .. ice machines didn't work, area around the ice machines was filthy. The free breakfast that is given ... well.. they only offer waffles that you have to make yourself ... juice, coffee, tea, bagles. I mean what do you expect when they say, Free. The pool and spa is unsanitary. They should lower their rates or better yet .. pay people to stay there. Not going back anytime soon!!

The people were so nice, i looked my self outand the man at front desk gave me another key card. The pool was great, and spa was was to die for. tHE BEST THIN WAS THE RESTURANT, IT WAS A LITTLE TASTE OF THE SOUTH IN NEW YORK. It was by far the best food we had on our trp from NC to near Toronto. I will come back if i get the chance.

After a 12 hr. drive from Raleigh NC to Toronto, we stopped at this Days Inn Location exhausted. We had left Raleigh right after a Buffalo Carolina Hockey Game. We thought we would stop and rest before finishing off our drive to Toronto. This hotel needs to be bulldozed. It stank of mold and must, like a leaky basement. All the fixtures, tiles, furniture, beds were about 40 years old. The Color TV looked like one of the first ever made. One of the two double beds looked like someone already slept in it. And that smell, it woke us right up. We went quickly back to the desk and got a refund. We continued our drive and vowed never to return to a Days Inn again. it's beyond me how a place like this could stay in business! It made you want to take a shower to wash off the stink.

This motel was a great place to stay in the location was perfect. We stayed there for 2 days. They had a pool and free contintenal breakfast that was awesome. I wanted to bring home the bed it was so comfortable and the shower was to die for. I give this place 5 stars.
