Days Inn Cleveland, Cleveland

I would encourage visitors to Cleveland to stop at a motel in Gainesville or some other nearby town. This motel is not bad, but it's definitely not good. We paid $59 for the night. I would have been upset if I had paid $75 or more for the night. My dad had reserved a room a week earlier at the price of $50 per night, but when he got there the woman told him the first night would be $89, the second night $64. He ended up getting it for the original quote of $50, but $89 a night would be a great rip-off. The mattresses should have been replaced two years ago. All of the electrical plugs are loose fits and need to be replaced. Water puddled up in a corner of the bathroom because the floor slants, and the water didn't come from us taking a shower. The water was already there when we arrived. The shower head only worked at half the volume it should have because it needs to be cleaned to remove deposits that have accumulated over time. The little ironing board is a joke and the iron isn't much better. As another reviewer mentioned, the front office reeks of curry. No slam against the diets of Indians, but for your average American it isn't a pleasant odor. All in all, you get what you pay for. Pay $50 at the Days Inn Cleveland and you will enjoy a substandard room. For a lot of people, that is all they want. But for others who enjoy the real nice motel rooms that only cost between $75 to $85 a night, this place will be a real disappointment. One positive: the air conditioner worked fine. I would think that the corporate headquarters of Days Inn would be embarrassed if they were to make an inspection of this motel. However, all it would take to bring this motel up to par would be an investment of money for new mattresses, electrical plugs, bathroom remodeling, etc. But, apparently, the owners aren't interested in improving the subpar conditions. To make money, though, you have to spend money. If I owned this place I would be investing money wisely to insure that visitors liked what they saw and told others of their wonderful experience. All I can say is that I will never stay here again when I return to visit family in Cleveland. I will wisely stop at a reputable chain on 515 near Gainesville.

I have found the lobby smells, really stinks, tired it three times because it was cheap, drain was not working, alarm clock was missing, hot water had to be turned on with the knob under the sink, management was made aware of the problem and on my next visit, same room, the knob under the sink was the only way to obtain hot water. It was repaired on my third visit.The continental breakfast was not suitable for my dog. I'm going to pay more money and stay in a different property this time I'm in the area.

two adjacent rooms were booked 1 week prior...on arrival rooms were seperated by two rooms between them. the air conditioning was turned off on a hot and stifeling day. the rooms were stuffy and unpleasant in odor. the housekeeping left a lot to be desired. not enough towels were furnished for the amount of guests that occupied one room. neither room had bath toiletries available. the shower pull knob was broken and stains were in the bath tub. there was no regular coffee provided and the packet that houised the stir stixs and coffee condiments was torn openen. phone service was unavailable until you went to the main office and had them turn it on. we were asked to come to the office to pick up towels & toiletries that were missing. the second day of our stay upon returning after putting in a 14 hr. work day the air conditioning in the rooms had been turned off leaving the rooms sweltering. also upon arrival back to the motel on the second night there was no parking to be had. the lot was crammed full of vehicles and we had to wake service to tell us where we could park. this experience was a nightmare in general as the manager has no personal people skills as does the rest of his staff. every complaint that was made was turned around to make it appear as it was our fault that things were the way they were. being in the hospitality buisiness myself this display of management is unacceptable. i was offered a $50.00 discount until I made mention of contacting headquarters when the refund of one room for one night was offered in refund. i am not a game player nopr a gambler and was unappreciative of the offer made by the management.

On a recent stay. We stopped over to stay the night. I was in a wheelchair do to a recent auto accident. We had our 1 year old and you know how a toddler can be. I noticed when he was walking on the carpet that his white socks were getting extremely black. When I wheeled my self into the bathroom the floor from the carpet being so dirty came off on the tile floor in the bathroom. I was in a cast with screws and plates in my leg and me and my husband were extremely upset and informed the front desk. They did eventually refund our money. Thank goodness.
