Days Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 Jul 2011 rated 3 out of 10.

This particular Days Inn does not deserve Priceline's 2 star rating. We stayed there passing through at the beginning of our trip and it was miserable. On the way through going home we used Priceline to find something else. Days Inn wasn't listed as one of the &quot;2 Star&quot; hotel possibilities so we felt confident in our bid and were<BR/>very disappointed when we were stuck with the Days Inn for our winning bid. Non-smoking rooms smelled of stale smoke, there were spiders in the bath towels, the toilets wouldn't flush (in 3 rooms on 2 different stays), the continental breakfast consisted of stale donuts and stale hard boiled eggs, they were out of all but skim milk, the &quot;apple juice&quot; was greatly watered down, the coffee tasted watered down, bugs in the ice machine, the dumpsters were close to the rooms and looked like they hadn't been emptied in weeks, music from the bar (from one end of the hotel) could be heard in our room at the other end of the hotel......it was a fairly miserable experience for our family. OH and they bill as Queen beds, but only provide Double beds.

Positives: Usually like Days Inn for quality/price.

Negatives: This one was quite run down, bugs hiding in towels, broken toilets, rooms smelled bad and was noisy.

For us it was a nice stay. If we were staying longer we may have used more of the facilities, like the pool or the bar. We did enjoy the continental breakfast. There was quite a variety of items to choose from to eat and drink.

Positives: More amenities than the previous hotel we stayed at for the same price.

Negatives: The rooms were a little cramped.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 08 Jul 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

Nothing overly fancy, but definitely adequate for a place to overnight.

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: Difficult to get to from main thoroughfare.

Relaxing outdoor pool with attached bar with Bone fire pit calls for good company and good times. Rooms are private, there is plenty of parking and room for travelers with trailers on their vehicles. A bit pricey for its size, style, but friendly staff and clean rooms make up for it. Also most likely cheapest hotel in the town of Dubuque.

Positives: Private, awesome pool, good company, clean, friendly staff.

Negatives: Location and a bit pricey.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great for downtown meetings, shopping, museum and casinos. New management has really made a positive difference.

Older hotel, but rooms were clean. Good breakfast. Great patio/deck with ceramic tile tables with firepots in the middle, nice lounge for cocktails- all right next to the pool area! Our family had a nice time.

Positives: Great patio.

Negatives: Needs updating.

The hotel overall was pretty nice. The driveway is a steep hill, so in winter one can be very scary with the snow and ice. The staff were very helpful and kind. The room was ok, the bathroom was pretty bad though. The ceiling was about 6'4 and my head nearly scraped it. Also it the ceiling tiles had water marks and needed to be replaced. Overall it was ok for what we paid.

Positives: The people and the hotel bar/restaurant were nice.

Negatives: The bathroom was pretty gross, especially the ceiling.

It was ok. But needs to be updated.

Negatives: Noise from road, outside lighting.

I'm not very particular, but my wife will not return there again. We have stayed there in the past, but it has gone downhill. Very warm sat. In cot. And the a/c wasn't working 'til during the night. Staff told us they had switched to heat during the week, and couldn't switch back quickly.

Positives: Decent continental breakfast with waffles, juice, and milk.

Negatives: Stain on sheets, and ashes in bathroom (no smoking room?).

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 17 Oct 2007 rated 1 out of 10.

I requested a non smoking room, and I did not receive what I requested. I stayed at the hotel five minutes, and left immediately as we had infant children traveling with us.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: The rooms have a horrible odor.

Positives: Nice view of trees.

Negatives: Room was small.

I would not recommend this hotel due to the unclean conditions. And poor parking lighting.

Went to this motel as a group of five rooms. They divided the group throughout the motel. Internet access was only available in the lobby area. Very inconvenient.

Positives: Friendly people.

Negatives: Wifi in office area only, Cell phone did not work well here.

This was out and out the worst chain-hotel I have ever stayed at. I guarantee there are independents out there that are worse but I expect better of Days Inn and trusted the guarantee of quality. I am not fussy, I travel for work but this place was disgusting and looked like it should have been condemned about a decade ago. It was dirty, the ceiling was covered in dust from the AC vent, wallpaper had unstuck itself from the corners of the room and there were stains on the carpeting. I just could not relax and will never return.

Positives: It was close to a couple of major highways.

Negatives: Old, damp smelling, dirty, in poor repair.

This hotel needs refrigerated candy machines (my candy was all melted and I could not eat it). The rooms in this hotel need allot of work, the beds are worn out, the drapes stink, the bath rooms have water marks all over the walls, the lights at the sink and in the bathroom are to dim, Carpet was horrible, and if they are going to charge you like a brand new hotel then I expect things to look like they are new.

Positives: It was in Dubuque.

Negatives: The rooms are run down and need to be redone badly.

The hotel was great, especially the breakfast, although it was a little noisy at night. However, we were very frustrated that we were locked out for so long, and on top of that we didn't even get an apology! I will say though that someone was called right away to fix the problem. My husband asked for a 10% discount, which we were given.

Positives: We enjoyed the breakfast.

Negatives: The key card reader on the door was broken. We were locked out after breakfast.

It would have been fine if it wasn't a motel.

Positives: Proximity to other activities.

Negatives: It was a motel! It did not have inside corridors, only outside doors.
