Days Inn Gainesville I 75, Gainesville

HUGE COCKROACHES!!!!!!! they tried to tell me in Florida they have palmetto bugs, I live in Florida and know the difference! just glad I saw them within the first 10 min I was there and not in the middle of the night. I have stayed in 100's of hotels in the last 10 years with travel ball and have never ever seen that. The Day's Inn in Chiefland was like night and day. CLEAN and friendly.

First sight, roaches on the fridge & furniture. Too tired and too late to be changing rooms and there were MANY vacancies. (I see why) Tiles were cracking apart from tub and grout, light fixtures inopperable, paint & decor pealing from walls...one of the TWO towels in the bathroom had food on it. Looked as if someone wiped their spagetti face there! The floor was so damp & dirty, our feet turned black if we stepped on it without slippers even for a moment. Dirty sink, filthy (w/feces) toilet...I don't think anyone even cleaned this room at all. Hard-pressed to find a working ice machine anywhere. The area wasn't the best, but we came for a one night stay. There were places inside where there used to be apliances such as hair dryer and coffee machine and they were missing! The worst part was that we were charged over $80 due to that particular weekend being a 'Gator Game Day' and we weren't the least bit interested in a party. Do lodging facilities only cater to college students and sports enthusiasts these days? It was awful. Wouldn't kennel my pets there. We should be re-imbursed, credited or given a free night at a sister hotel that has been cleaned! If you want a dirty place to 'crash' after a night of drinking...it's still not worth it! A letter will be going out to the location we stayed at as well as their corporate office. From the sound of the previous reviews, it seems that they have been operating this way for many years. It's a shame. It's no way to run a business.

We were travelling to Orlando and stopped here late at night. Cost was $60 (they have a nerve!)and in one room the bathtub drain clogged so only one person could shower. In both rooms,the lamps next to the beds weren't working. Our next experience at Days Inn in Kissimmee was no better.

I didnt like the up keep of the place!! The walls were being to peel! They really should consider remodeling!! It could stand to be a little cleaner, also!!!!

~ unfriendly service ~ large cockroaches all over ~ hard, uncomfortable beds ~ keys/door locks that are difficult to use ~ nasty bathtubs/showers .... then Days Inn, Gainesville, FL is just for you!!!!
