Some people shouldn't deal with the public
Upon doing research on the internet for pet friendly locations this location was recommended. I booked on hotels.com and proceeded to check into the hotel. After traveling all day I failed to see the sign on the window "no dogs" I assumed all was well seeing how the website specified "pet friendly". I was never asked if I had any dogs nor was it addressed online for an additional fee, of which I would have paid. I got settled and while bringing my dog (boxer) into the room, my boyfriend was approaching the room when the lady in the office (red box braids) yelled. "Y'all gotta check out, you can't have dogs here". Meanwhile he enters the room to tell me we have to leave. We immediately started to make other arrangements to take our babies elsewhere. About 10 minutes lapsed when there was an extremely hard bang on the door. Upon opening there was a black car with 3 occupants and the office manager. My boyfriend trying to explain we were preparing to take them somewhere. She was very demanding and aggressive outside the door. Telling us it was too late and she was deactivating our room key and evicting us. I called the police and because it was her demand we were threatened with trespassing charges and had to leave the property without arrangements to stay somewhere. Now we are 5 hours from home and on the streets at 12am. I don't think this is the policy or ethics of Days Inn. I've stayed at many nice Days inn hotels and never experienced anything of this magnitude.

Less than meets the eye.
I hardly ever leave a review for anywhere but felt the need to do so. This was just for one night so no big deal, right? This place has non running partially dismantled cars in the parking lot (more than a couple). The rooms are outdated. There were visible holes. The bed coverings had several obvious cigarette burn holes. You might say I could have asked for another room but I highly doubt it would have been any better. This is not a place I would recommend at all. I am not extremely picky like some but this was definitely not a good choice. I knew it was not the Hilton but this doesn’t even deserve the ratings it has been given.

The place was falling apart. Bathroom door fell off the hinges, shower curtain rod was super loose and dangerous. TILE floor was loose and could easily cut someone. Not only all of that… All the bedsheets had holes in them from cigar ashes. As soon as you walk in you get that smoke smell. For 109$ this was not worth it at all. They should really be pricing way less if this is how they treat the rooms. It didn’t even look like they cleaned the sheets. The floor had this weird sticky residue by the bed. Walls were filthy. Gross gross gross
