Days Inn – Lebanon

So my fiancé, our son and I are actually staying here at Days Inn right now. That I would interrupt our brief trip to sit down and hastily write a review should probably tell you something. Actually if you’re not incredibly used to staying in a mid-​grade hotel and if this were the first place you decided to stop by, you might think it’s pretty darn swell. I mean, there are some good points to it:
1) It’s clean
2) They give you free soap and cheap coffee
3) So far I can’t hear the people next to or on top of us. It’s quiet in spite of the fact that we’re
right freaking next to the Interstate.
Okay, so here’s why I would really like to avoid coming back to Days Inn if we can possibly do that (Better trip-​planning skills might have helped us to avoid even having to come here in the first place):
1)The guy who runs the front desk (I’ll call him Front Desk Dude from hereon out) doesn’t really give a crap if you’re Military. No discount. Not even if you’re on your way to training and need to stay here for a night. He actually seems to have the attitude that you should be so lucky to have a place to stay at all. Seriously!
2) Front Desk Dude won’t budge on the check-​out time. We are a single car military family and when family members must drop off their loved ones at the ass-​crack of dawn after driving all night, it would be kind of cool to be able to sleep more than five hours before having to hit the road again. So I asked if we could move the check out time to noon, but F.D.D. is a man who doesn’t bend the rules for anyone. He likes structure. He likes punctuality. If you plan on staying here, better get your butt out of bed and be out the door before 11:00 sharp or you’ll have to pay for an extra day. Yes, he told me that.
…Not to keep ranting, but I’ll keep ranting: I’ve stayed at the Comfort Inn and Quality Inn dozens upon dozens of times over the years as we’ve PCS’d and gone to different states for training (when my S.O. was Active Duty) and those guys *always* let us change the check out times if need be. I know this guy is full of malarkey when he says he «can’t». He can.
3) There’s a burn mark in the blanket. Not that I really care about that, but if you’re one of those people who totally lose their heads over trivial things and find yourselves writing up a huge Unilocal!Review after becoming incensed that nobody else appreciates having a burn-​hole-​free blanket, this place isn’t for you.
I may actually try the «free» breakfast in the morning and write a long, ranting food review about that as well since I have no life as is evidenced by the fact that I’m on Unilocal!at 1:00 in the morning.

Some lights in the room were out, hot water did not work, cable out and flames shot out the end of the hair dryer…

This is from the perspective of a couple with little money to run on. The 4 star rating comes from comparing what you get for the price. Comfortable bed, pretty good continental breakfast, broken curtain rod in the shower, burn hole in the blanket. All in all, for the price, it was a good choice though.

Stood here over the recent Thanksgiving holiday. While not the greatest, for a quick stop over it will do. They look to be doing some renovations to the rooms, and they have an indoor pool which didn’t look too bad. They are pet friendly, which can come in handed after a long day of driving. The free breakfast is ok, standard fair but did enjoy the fresh made waffles. All in all if you looking for a quick place just to sleep for the night this place may do. Just asks for one of the newer rooms if available.
