Days Inn Palm Springs

[DISCLAIMER: Room here as a last resort… unless you book one of there premium rooms]
The wife and I had a long drive ahead of us and we decide to rest up here for the night before heading out. Finding the hotel off the main road (through Expedia), we turned in the parking lot. Unfortunately we had to park way in the rear due to high occupancy. From there we had to walk all the way back to the main road to the lobby check in. Not a walk you want to be taking just for the heck of it. It seems a bunch of sketch/​rough individuals stay here… The parking itself is a joke. From an aerial view, it forms a broken rectangle, where one side is broken and the fourth side is the main road. One way in, one way out.
Our room ended up being on the farthest side of the property! Another long walk for us after an already long day. The property is huge, but not in a good way. All amenities such as the gym, ice machines and vending machines are oddly placed. The only feature that is dead even with the hotel would be the pool!
The room itself is like it has been refurbished from an old 1700s hotel. Feels and smells stuffy. Uneven paint and interior decorating is low grade. Carpet is stained all over as well. A/​C unit works but is super old! There is a bout three wall plugs in the whole room and two out three are taken up by the appliances in the room. I had to plug the mini/​fridge in myself. One good thing about the room is the bed. Nice and firm. Was easy to catch some Z’s on with no problem.
The restroom is a joke. Seriously. The sink spews out milky water. Doesn’t run clear. Makes you wonder how the shower water is. Speaking on the shower, I can’t even wash with my wife in there! It can only fit one adult! The secondary light doesn’t work. No fan to air out the restroom either. Using the toilet is frustrating b/​c you need to have a butt the size of a child to fit comfortably. My right leg is pressed up against the wall the whole time.
Last but not least, Wifi. Don’t even try. You try to connect and that doesn’t happen. Even with provided instructions (only the login and password), it fails. I am sorry but it is horrible. It must of been b/​c of our room location.
I just wanted to sleep and then get out of there. No joke. The Monroe Palm Springs is your best bet to room or any other hotel.
fin.

You get what you pay for. It’s an okay place for the price, they do need new bedding and furniture, the room had a funny smell but nothing you can’t get over. Everything worked in the room, it was a nice stay after all. I would recommend this to someone looking for a cheap and nice, not luxurious, place.

This place stinks ! I wish I could fall asleep in a room that costs $ 115. The neighbors tv is so loud :/​front desk offered to move us but who wants to change rooms at such a late hour. What a huge bummer.

Great place for cheap. The customer service was amazing everyone was friendly and the cleaning lady was super nice and helpful. Super nice pool and close to downtown and tram

Good Bargain Motel. When we have to come to Palm Springs for a party and aren’t going to use the room we try to find a cheap option. We got a room here for $ 98 on New Year’s Eve. The room was well maintained and had newer décor and furniture. It had a nice balcony overlooking the garden with mountain and pool views. It has a nice mid-​century vibe and the grounds and pool furniture are quite nice.
We were very pleased until it came time to check-​out. Their check-​out time was not posted anywhere in the room and we got in at 3:30 a.m. We assumed that check-​out was at noon (as it is almost everywhere) and had planned to leave a little before that. Boy were we wrong and did we pay the consequences. At 11 a.m. sharp the maid knocked on the door and said «aren’t you checking out?». We tried to get ready quickly, but before we could, the front desk called to remind us that check-​out was at 11. I told them that we would be out shortly, but before we could even finish loading the car the housekeeping supervisor knocked on our door again to see if we had left. I felt like a prostitute at an hourly motel whose time was up. In contrast, when we checked into the Hilton Garden Inn the next night they told us they had let everyone have late check-​out since it was New Year’s Day and they knew people would be moving slowly.

Awesome for the price value. Patio in front of very large room. Good bed. Good sleep. Lots of palm trees. The feeling of a garden when you wake up in the morning. J’adore.

They shouldn’t even get one star! What a total dump! We made the mistake of staying at this crappy hotel for our wedding anniversary. First of all, the bathroom was extremely small and was not properly cleaned as there was a long black hair stuck to the floor and little pieces of wet toilet paper in the corner. The so-​called «shower» was a total Bird Bath and had absolutely no water pressure whatsoever! I could not even get enough water pressure to rinse a small amount of shampoo out of my hair! They had paper thin towels hanging in the bathroom and they weren’t even big enough to wrap around you, and one of them even had holes in it! The tacky bed spread looked like it hadn’t been washed in 100 years, and was very thin and cheap looking. The room had French Doors, but one of the blinds was missing, so they hung up a make-​shift curtain which was a very cheap looking, ugly brown rag instead of actually going out and buying another blind to replace the one that had broken. This not only looked very tacky, but the light just streamed in through the cheap looking rag the minute the sun came up. The air-​conditioning consisted of a box coming straight out of the wall, 70’s style, which blew directly on us when we were in bed and it was either too cold or too warm, so we couldn’t even sleep at all and it was just miserable ! The stupid ass maid had the nerve to knock on the door repeatedly early in the morning (on our anniversary) and woke us up, when we literally had just fallen asleep — supposedly to do «housekeeping» when we were booked for two nights. The maid even came back two hours later and repeatedly knocked on the door again and even went as far as opening the door and even tried to let herself, but thank God we had the security bar pulled across or she would’ve been literally inside the room! We asked her what the hell she wanted this time and she said in her foreign broken-​English accent «We doing routine fire alarm checks» — Can you believe this? Since when are «routine checks» on the fire alarms done when there are guests checked into the room? This was totally ridiculous of them to do this and invade our privacy for such a ridiculous reason! At this point, I had had it with this cheap ass hotel and I was so pissed off and disgusted, that I stormed into the office and told them that we were checking out after just one night and I let them know how disgusted I was with their stupid hotel. They agreed to let us check out and first they were only only going to give us 50% off, but I demanded that they give us a full refund due to my all of the disgusting and aggravating things that had happened during our stay. It took them EIGHT days to actually put the credit back on my card! I immediately went back to the room and I packed up our stuff so fast that I accidentally left a blouse, a bra and shampoo in the room. After getting home and realizing I was missing these items, I called The Days Inn and spoke to the manager. She said that they didn’t find anything left in the room and she had checked with all of her maids. I said that that was ridiculous because I had looked everywhere and I could not find the blouse or the bra or the shampoo anywhere so I know it was left in the room she argued with me and told me that they did not find anything in the room which is a total lie. Do not stay at this hotel no matter what you do. You would have more privacy sleeping in your car! The maids not only invade your privacy by repeatedly knocking on the door and even try to barge in on you, but they also steal your stuff if you happen to leave anything behind! What a total dump and a total disaster this hotel is. Do yourself a favor and stay anywhere in Palm Springs but here! I hope they go out of business soon!

This is seriously the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Let’s start from the beginning:
I told them I was going to be a late check in, they «close» at 12, I arrived at 12:30. After ringing a door bell for ten minutes, I somehow managed to wake up the dude at the front desk. I know Days Inn is a national company but this felt like I woke up a guy off his couch. After about ten more minutes of him banging around on his computer, we found my reservation. This led to a whole parking fiasco that I won’t get into, just be wary of bringing a trailer here. As I walked into my room one hour later, after navigating their parking lot with a trailer, a wave of heat hit me like Uncle Lewis throwing a match. It was honest to god the hottest room that I have ever walked in. I somehow managed to turn on the AC before retreating to the cool 90 degrees outside.
Obviously the pool was closed and there happened to be a bar near by. I headed towards it but it was closed. I watched about 100 vagrants loitering outside of it about for around 15 minutes and I felt great about my Uhaul and trailer in the parking lot. I was pretty much running out of options at this point so I started to walk down the street to see if anything was open where I could get some reprieve from the heat. I found a ⁷⁄₁₁ near by, which if you know anything about 7/11’s, usually classy establishments. So I grabbed a 12 pack and walked back to my hotel room praying that it would have cooled off. You can guess how that went. As I sat on my balcony drinking beer in just my underwear, I thought there had to be some other way I could cool off. I went to the shower and turned it on and watched brown water go down the drain for a solid 20 seconds. «Fantastic», I thought, but honestly at this point I didn’t really give a shit, I hopped in anyway.
This finally cooled me off… a little. My room was now at manageable 85ish. I turned on the TV to find a wide selection of terrible channels. Really? Showtime over HBO? I know it’s stupid, but everything is making me mad at this point, it’s 3:30. I end up watching some Miley Cyrus movie that no one has ever heard of. I think to myself, «this is hell».
I tried to go to sleep after this but as you can imagine, no dice. It is now 5 in the morning, I’ve drank 6 beers, and am watching some Justin Long movie, that is so shitty, Drew Berrymore isn’t even in it.
Why not stay at Days Inn? Why don’t I just keep myself up all night, go on a bender, watch B movies, burn 150 dollars, and club a baby seal? I could be elected president. Would I recommend staying here… I’m holding out for something better.

Seriously the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. We changed rooms twice because of broken air conditioning units and bugs. The room we ended up in still had a broken air conditioner. We called the front lobby and both times they rushed us off the phone and both times each person had a VERY bad attitude. Then, we walked to the front desk and there was a sign saying they’d be back in 10 minutes. We waited over 30 minutes by the door and no one ever showed up. This hotel sucks. Don’t waist your money!

My boyfriend and I have been here a few times and enjoyed our stay every time. Yes, it could use a remodel, yes I’ve found cigarette burns in the carpet of my non-​smoking room, and yes the rooms are a little bit bleak.
HOWEVER, I wouldn’t call this place run down. In fact it always seems well maintained (minus the cigarette burn carpet). The courtyard reminds me of old school Palm Springs, the pool is gigantic, you’re close to down town, and the restaurant on site is good.
If you’re looking for a swanky resort this isn’t for you, otherwise the Days Inn is a good deal.

I’m giving this place 3 starts and here is why. It needs to be upgraded AC took forever to actually work and get going. I got a room with a king size bed and the bathroom was small but I have to admit we have to admit we had great time, the spa and pool area was the best thing about the Hotel! We spend all day and night hanging out by the pool with a couple of Mimosas. Price is reasonable and very close to 7/​11, Alberstons and downtown.

This Days Inn is an older motel that tries hard and makes it. First of all, the room was spotlessly clean. Even better, it didn’t smell like cleaning product. In fact, there was no smell. As it should be! The bathroom in my room was spacious but a funky layout. Nonetheless, the vintage aquamarine wall tiles and the blue wavy patterned floor tiles were in immaculate condition and lent a vintage vibe.
The bed was comfortable and there was every manner of pillow on the bed. Firm, soft, plump, thin: you have options. The room itself is nicely maintained and decorated. As others have pointed out, it is old but it does not feel out of date or tired. In fact, it felt very fresh and relaxing.
The high points of the room were its front patio and proximity to the pool. I counted 15 steps to the pool gate. The pool and grounds are immaculately maintained and beckon you to sprawl out on a chaise to soak up the sun while the sound of rustling palms entertain your ears. Plus, there’s a bonus. A back patio accessible by a sliding glass door. In my room they could have made the area by the back patio a little sitting area if they added a sette.
Overall, this is a nice place to stay. It isn’t the Four Seasons, but it doesn’t charge Four Seasons rates, either.

Motel is old and definitely needs some remodeling.
Pros:
–Patio with sliding door and outside sitting space with chairs
— microwave and refrigerator
— removable hair dryer
— huge pool that only 5 feet deep and also a small jacuzzi
— hair dryer that is not stuck to the wall
— flat screen tv with premium channels
Cons:
— inadequate lighting.
— bathroom was too small
— toilet was old and looked like ones from the gas station
— shower was hard to maneuver and it leaked from the shower head causing water to hit the ceiling and drains from the wall onto you while you’re showering.
— bed squeaks every time you make a little move
— the charger on the lamp next to bed would sometimes stop working
This motel definitely needs some TLC.

This hotel has very old bones, but it’s fairly well cared for. The grounds are immaculate and the rooms have balconies or patios. The rooms themselves have fresh paint, modern furniture, a flat screen TV, microwave and fridge. The bathroom fixtures are old but they work and there’s no shortage of hot water in the shower. The crown molding in the room is a nice touch. It’s overall basic but doesn’t feel cheap. I can forgive the lack of a bathroom remodel for rates under $ 100 in season and would stay here again.

For under 100 bucks a night, in a Palm Springs weekend, we consider this a deal. Large pool, great breakfast and lunch restaurant a few feet away (Ricks restaurant), a flat screen tv, coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, 4 pillows and a good size room, and another plus, the air conditioning works great!
How do we know this is a good deal, because we stay in small motels all across America.

I wasn’t expecting much from staying at Days Inn after the underwhelming response, but I thought it was pretty good compared to some other hotels I have been to.
Pros:
–Ample walking space in the room
–Microwave/​mini-​fridge; hair dryer
–Comfortable bed with enough pillows
–Sliding glass door with small balcony that overlooks the parking lot
–Big pool and spa area
–Decent fitness area with a bathroom inside
–Enough TV channels
–Close enough to downtown Palm Springs
–Lots of parking spaces all around Days Inn
–Free WiFi
Cons:
–There are no water fountains. No area for water refills.
–No shower caps provided/​offered
–TV would become pixel-​y and we had to find the right position for us to be in before the picture returns
–Not enough outlets (many of them were broken)
–Our clock didn’t work
–The fitness area is a little far if you live next to the check-​in place
Overall, I thought it was a pretty good place to stay in for one night.

I stayed there Sunday night and it was OK… After all people, its a motel…
The place is old and is need of a desperate remodel.
The rooms are fine, except for the bathroom shower knobs came off and the controls didn’t work well.
There was mold in the edges of the tub and the toilet looked old and rusty!
The TV didn’t work because it needed to be plugged in and the front door paint was peeling with some rust around the edges…
The good part was it was $ 74.99 a night!
The bad part was being charged a resort fee and everything else I listed above … PLUS the fact that at 7am… I can hear EVERY door on my floor opening and closing every 5 – 10 minutes until I finally got up for good at 9am and left!
I got the room at 2 am and was desperate… sooooo, it is what it is…
I would not stay there again though

Dirty, old, run down, old bathrooms, furniture, cheap lightfixtures, shower door didn’t stay closed, needs paint, hard mattress, fountain falling apart, a Motel 6 is a 5 star compared to this place! Rip off even at $ 70.00.
Totally deceptive photos on line. They show decent room overlooking pool, but don’t let that fool you, you won’t get that room!

Not a bad place when you first walk in. Very old place. There is a fridge and microwave but they are not plugged in and no electrical outlet where located. Have to move around. Also one lamp had no bulb and the other is burned out. But there is another lamp with a bulb. Food is splashed on the wall as well. A sewing needle in the lamp shade? These people don’t care about details. I stayed at America’s Best Value Inn, which at least was clean. This place they just need to pay attention to the basics. Details arent in the cards here.

Our room was not very clean. There were little bugs the size of ants crawling on the bathroom sink. I saw them when I went to brush my teeth… they were crawling on my toothbrush!!! Discusting :(
This hotel is in desperate need of a remodel… new carpet AT LEAST!!!
It would have been nice to have a few extra pillows…
When taking a shower the water temp was unpredictable. The toilet looked like it belonged in a gas station bathroom.
Lisa at the front desk was very nice and helpful. She was the only nice part about this place.
I was not impressed at all, will not come back here.
