We stayed here for three nights while checking out Bradenton, Sarasota, and Tampa. Outside older, the rooms are the cleanest of any Days Inn I've ever stayed at, I think they just got new carpets in all their rooms judging from the dumpsters outside. Overall great freeway motel, small lobby, was fine with us as we were out all day. Would stay again especially for the price compared to the Holiday Inn Ex next door almost double!
