Days Inn King City

I’ve been meaning to leave this review. We stayed here last September on our way up to Monterey.
At first glance, our room looked upgraded
and nice. The bedding looked modern and so did the light fixtures. Taking a closer look… the bathroom was old and the sink only drew out really cold or kind of warm water. The water pressure in the shower was … nonexistent. When you flushed the toilet, this water draining sound would go on for several minutes. And the worst part? Bed bugs! Had so many bites the next morning. I thought I felt them as I was falling asleep but convinced myself it was my imagination. NOPE. So happy we only stayed one night.
Hopefully by now, these problems are all fixed but honestly I wouldn’t chance it.

I was worried we wouldn’t find a clean hotel here in King City for our visit to Pinnacles but i was very happy with our stay at the Days Inn.
The motel has been recently renovated and everything seems clean and new. New fixtures, updated bedding, new paint.
Our shower drain wouldn’t stay open but on the whole, the bathroom was clean and new.
They were working on remodeling the lobby when we got here but I didn’t care. It looks like it will look amazing when it’s done!

I was very appreciative, very ugly color exterior, must be the ugliest mustard yellowish green. A real Eye sore. But hey I just need it to sleep. It was contracted by my job so against my better judgement I took it. It was clean. Thank God it didn’t smell like smoke. Pillows and sheets were fresh. Bathroom was clean but towels were old and well used past there time. but clean. Lucky Im a guy and didn’t’ have my family with me. Door had a good lock, but no weather strip at bottom of door to keep unwanted crawly visitors out. I didn’t see any but the gap had me concerned. Very cheap. Got what I paid for it guess. Hint to self, sometimes it’s worth upgrading.

I don’t recommend this hotel to no body specially to any females. If you are alone do not stay here. I was suppose to stay here for three nights but sorry not me I check out the first night.
A BBQ right in front of my room door. All males + drinking and music all laugh.
Three times someone knock on my door and when I looked I couldn’t see nobody.
I don’t know why people lie about this place is dirty, the room had a nasty smell, the lines have a weird smell and the black chairs had white spots.
Stay away from this place

I wish I could give MYSELF negative 1 star; because, I took a chance and booked a room for the AIDS Lifecycle in 2015 and when I arrived, they again said they did not have a room, were rude about it, and offered no help knowing full well I had no place to stay (they did this to me in 2013, while on the ride). They are disgusting people desperate for the pennies they are getting for the crappy rooms they rent in a crappy town.
I finally figured out what these nasty (and I mean nasty³) people do. If they see that the rooms are filling up due to an event, they cancel any reservation you may have made through Booking, Expedia, etc. at a lower price and tell the customer that they have no record of the reservation so that they may charge a higher price for the rooms to someone else. You could have the booking number in your hand, and even have the booking agency like Expedia call them (as I did) and they of course, being the effing liars they are, they say that they have no reservation. Voila, they jack up the price of the room by about $ 100 to the unsuspecting person who thinks they are «nice.»
Customers who say they are «nice» and all that other misguided crap, don’t realize that the owners of this place could care less about their customers. They just want your money; you are merely the tertiary obstacle of getting them to your hard earned cash. That’s how «nice» they are and as I said in my review of the Quality Inn (no better), there is something seriously wrong with the people on this street.

The place was super clean and everything looked new, as if it had been remodeled recently. It’s obviously not «top of the line luxury» or anything, but it’s perfect for comfort on a budget in this expensive area during peak season. The staff were very friendly, so I thought I would post a positive review. There was some very noisy neighbors unfortunately, but we complained and the noise did stop, so I assume the staff spoke with them and took care of it. This place is good, maybe it used to suck, but they have fixed whatever the problems were clearly.

I know it was my bad to book a smoking room, but it was the last one available. It was BRUTAL! Bring a candle folks. However, the people were nice. The size of the pool made me laugh but I was hoping for a hot tub anyway. No need for swim trunks. The best part: Waffle Maker! It produces 4 of the most delicious little palm sized waffles perfect for eattin’. Trust me on this.

Absolutely a little hidden gem! Was so surprised because of the reasonable rate for the area, this is truly a 5 star motel. The entire grounds is clean, safe and very pleasant. The staff went beyond the norm to make sure we were comfortable. The room is quiet and very tastefully decorated, the bedding is fresh and welcoming. All the amenities, and the shower was just beautiful, I felt like I was in a spa in there!!! I understand the entire hotel has been remodeled, they did a beautiful job, the place looks brand new. I slept like a rock, the room was dark, never heard a peep from the outside (the hotel was full) and the air conditioner was nice and quiet. No clanging sounds when it turned on. We happened by this place by accident but will definitely stay here from now on! We didn’t have the free breakfast because the room was so cozy we opted to sleep in, but there is a coffee pot in the room and a Denny’s across the street!

This review isn’t about the quality of the amenities of this hotel because I was not given the chance to experience them. If you book this hotel through a third party booking site (
, Tripadvisor
etc.) do not assume that they will honor that reservation and have a room available to you. I had made that mistake and when I got to the hotel was told that they did not have my reservation, despite me having a confirmation number. They also offered nothing in a way of an explanation or apology, and of the women at the front desk the only one that showed any sort of helpfulness or even empathy to us being stranded without a place to stay in the middle of nowhere, was the 11 year old daughter of one of the women. Given that every other hotel in a 2 hour radius was booked for the weekend we had no choice but drive back to our home 4.5 hours away.
It should also be noted that when we called the 3^rd party booking site (
) to find out about our reservation they told us that after speaking with the hotel they were told that the hotel had overbooked. But when we went back in to speak to the women at the front desk, they continued with the line that they had no record of our reservation.
The next day when I checked my email, there was an email saying our reservation had been cancelled due to ‘No Show’ !!! That’s funny given I SHOWED UP at 6:00PM to stay that their crap hotel. But of course in order to still be in good standing with the third party booking site it is better to put the blame on the customer and say that we didn’t show up rather than to own up to having overbooked the hotel.
Basically this is a crap hotel in the middle of nowhere that if you have to stay in the area should be your last resort. And if you do resort to staying here, make sure you confirm with them over the phone at least, in advance, in order to guarantee that they have the room that they are supposed to waiting for you.

A jacuzzi tub in a fabulous room in a clean and friendly establishment. We had a lovely stay for two nights at this Days Inn in King City. It is right off the freeway and down the street from a wonderful park. We were able to walk to a family diner and Starbucks. Breakfast is provided and was filling. The jacuzzi tub is gorgeous and large enough for two people with real jets and lots of hot water. The shower is large. There is a kitchen with a toaster in addition to the micro and fridge and stove.

Clean & convenient. Basic amenities. Includes free wifi. It has Fridge, microwave, kitchen utensils, hair dryer & basic toiletries. Perfect for our 1 night stopover.

I was def impressed! My car got a flat tire and had to be towed to Tire kingdom and I was freaking out because I was in the middle of no where. The AAA guys took me to the Days Inn and the gentleman at the desk were very nice and accommodating. The hotel room was nice as well and they have a pool! Would def stay here again if I happen to need a room driving through King City, CA!

Great experience! I was so tired and just wanted to rest. The owner gave me access to three different rooms so I could choose which one I wanted at a discounted rate. All three rooms where very nice and clean. Its not a five star hotel, but look at the town its in. All and all the room I chose is very nice and comfortable and all the amenities work. I would suggest anyone on the road that needs a rest, stop by Days Inn King City and you will be taken care of! Thanks DAD ;))

The hotel was cheap and that’s what I needed till Fort Hunter Liggett had a room available for me. I like that they have a Denny’s right across the street, which i need after wine tasting all day. The staff was very rude and they started renovation soooooooo early. Yeah, which really sucked especially when you are nursing a wine hangover from the night before. The base finally had a room for me and I was out of this place!!! stayed here Jan 2013

Room was clean but substandard. Within 2 minutes of sitting by the pool, I was stung in the face by a WASP. I found a wasp’s nest next to the pool, I alerted the staff, they explained that they did not know there were any wasps but that they had had Clark’s Exterminators there two days prior. Too bad no one saw all the wasps buzzing around. By the way they do not provide any conditioner in the rooms. I will not be back and I do not recommend.

Recently stayed here while on the way to San Francisco and found this to be a decent motel at a reasonable price. The room that I selected was a basic one and it was clean and attractively decorated for the price. The bed was comfortable and the room size was average. The motel offers upgraded rooms, some larger with a jacuzzi and/​or kitchenette. There is also a swimming pool. The continental breakfast is not great but it provides some sustenance before getting lunch somewhere else. The owner/​manager was friendly and made me feel quite welcomed. Would stay here again.

YIKES!!! I’d give this hotel negative 1,000 stars if I could and I seriously hope people read this review before thinking about staying here and it should be clear from 3 other really poor reviews that this is not a place you’d want to stay.
My boyfriend and I booked here (unfortunately before reading Unilocal reviews-​boo!) for a two night stay to give us a place to sleep before and after attending an event in Santa Margarita. We arrived at approximately 8:30 to check in and everything went fine with that minus the hotel lobby which spelled really, really strongly of curry. Our room looked clean and comfortable upon first inspection so we unpacked our clothes and settled in before going to get some dinner. We came back from dinner, relaxed, and when I went to go take a bath before bedtime, I noticed about 10 short hairs spread out inside of the bath. GROSS! It was about 11:30 pm by that time so I had no energy or desire to clean it up myself, so I decided to call the front desk to report it. I was really nice to the lady who answered and just told her what I had seen in the bath tub and asked if I could either get money off of my bill, get the bath cleaned, or get some kind of coupon for next time I visit a Days Inn. She immediately got defensive and said «No, that can’t be. The maid cleans that room everyday». PSH. Who acts like a customer is lying and what would be my reason to lie? She was clearly embarrassed. She denied this a few more times and said that we could switch rooms but by that point, it was late and we had already unpacked, so it would be more effort to switch rooms than just to have someone clean the bath or to issue us a coupon. She kept insisting that there was no hair in the bath, so I finally said «Okay, I’ll just have to report this on Unilocal then». HA! I love Unilocal.;) She stopped at that point and said she would speak to a manager in the morning, which I was okay with.
Less than two minutes later, there was a knock at our door which was pretty creepy since it was so late at night. We asked who it was through the door and it turned out to be the manager himself. He asked to come in and take a look at the bath, which we allowed. He immediately said he didn’t see any hairs so my boyfriend specifically pointed them out to him. He still denied it, saying that they were scratches in the bath. At that point, he told us «okay, okay, you guys get out. Leave this room», etc etc. I initially thought he was kicking us out of the whole hotel, but he told us we would need to get another room. I knew he was getting angry at that point as he was making his anger pretty obvious to us, so I told him just to forget about it and that would we would clean it ourselves. He then said that he would clean it up himself, which he did with a tissue. So, obviously he did see the hairs, otherwise he wouldn’t have had anything to clean. As he did this cleaning, my boyfriend and I waited outside of the hotel room since I was already starting to get creeped out and didn’t know it he would get violent or even creepier. After he finished cleaning, he walked out.
As soon as he walked out, I closed our door a little loudly since I was pretty upset about how he was treating us. He turned right around and knocked on our door. We knew it was him so we didn’t want to open it. He yelled «Open the door! Open the door! Don’t slam the door or you will need to get the f*ck out. If you damage anything, I will charge you $ 500». At this point, I was super freaked out and feared for my safety since he had the ability to get into our room if he really wanted to. Also, I didn’t know the town and I didn’t know the guy, so I was that much more scared. I decided to call the police to a) make sure this guy wasn’t about to try anything else and b) to document that this guy was angry with us so that if he tried to claim that we damaged anything, that it would clear we had a good case against him. I ended up taking photographs of some existing damage in the room so that if he does try to charge us anything, I will have excellent proof that we did not cause any damage. The cop showed up who was very nice and helped settle the situation.
The next day, we had to be brave and go to the lobby for the free breakfast before we left for the event. We saw him but did not make eye contact or speak with him. When we finished our breakfast, the guy told us that the maid was ready to clean our room. I told him we were fine and didn’t need our room cleaned. I did not want to risk that any of our belongings would be stolen or messed with. He almost put up a fight about this, I felt. Let’s just say he didn’t take no for an answer and asked us a few more times if we wanted our room cleaned. CREEPY! We said no in the nicest way and that was that.
Upon check out, we were not given a receipt which seemed a little fishy, too. Usually hotels give you a receipt saying you checked out a specific time and that you had paid in full.
Overall, DO NOT STAY HERE!

Be aware, the owners of this Inn are related to the owners of the Courtesy Inn. (see the reviews)

You get what you pay for… the room was cheap and everything about this place reflected that: uncomfortable beds, bare minimum amenities, etc. The neighborhood isn’t the best and we definitely brought our bikes into our room for the night (valuables left in plain sight overnight = no valuables in the morning). The «continental breakfast» consisted of toast/​pastries/​oatmeal/​cereal/​fruit but was actually all we needed before heading to Lake San Antonio to do a warm up of the Wildflower course. An ok place if all your looking for is a roof over your head for the night.

Stayed in this motel a couple of weeks ago since my team and I went down for a practice for the Wildflower Triathlon as a relay team…
Let’s just say one of those motels where the owners keep a look out from the office window (we drove in around 1115P) and count the heads of all the people in your vehicle when you park or make sure your car has a dark tint! I’m so serious!
Our room was originally $ 74.99 but with the 2 extra people we paid an extra $ 20.00. Totally not worth it for the room. It’s not like we tried packing 10 people in a room,! We were a party of 5 adults in our 30s. The owners actually watched us unpack our car to make sure there was only 5 of us. It made us feel like convicted criminals (even after we paid the extra $ 20 at check in).
We’ll stay at the Best Western across the street next time… since we encountered the following:
Heater/​AC didn’t work very well.
No tissue in the room.
Weak Flushing toilet
Room had an odor
Skip this one.
