Days Inn Raleigh Beltline

This was not the cleanest place… Tub still had soap residue in it, I was going to be charged 20 dollars a night for a rollout bed, my hairdryer was broken, the fridge was broken…

Non smoking rooms smell very bad. They should not be advertised as non smoking. There was a nest of roaches under the microwave. Was moved to another room, no roaches at this one, but no luck with the odor.

Got an «accessible» room for my mother in law through
. It was on the first floor and had a nice, large, walk-​in shower with stability bars on the walls. There was a mini fridge and microwave in the room. When i checked her in i saw there was a small pool and there were a lot of young people enjoying it.
She said it was comfortable and felt safe. The location is right by the on ramp for 440 so easy to get places. Right across the street from the hospital and with eating places near by
Tip– turn at the light by the Dennys. as far as i could see that was the only entrance and i missed it the first time resulting in a u turn further down. The restaurant and days inn share the entry way in.
I got it for half the price of hotels literally a block away. Desk clerk was friendly.

Do you enjoy cockroaches? How about identity theft? If so, Days Inn is the place for you!
I was fooled into trying this place by the low prices and several good reviews, but the first word I thought of when I saw my room was ‘dilapidated’. The curtain was mended with scotch tape. There was water damage on the ceiling, plaster peeling off of the walls, thick dust on the base of the floor lamp and on the clothes hanging rod. Black mold or scum encrusted the drain of the tub, and the tv stand looked like it had been through a flood, the veneer was half-​on, half peeled away, and there were several holes in the walls.
Free Wi-​Fi? How about NO Wi-​Fi. I called the front desk because there was no internet connection in my room, and was told that the help desk would be called and they would get right back to me. No one ever fixed the problem or got back to me. I was awakened at 2am due to my decrepit, lumpy mattress and lots of police activity outside (don’t know, don’t want to know), and I tried to get online again. Nope.
Now I know this sounds like a dream come true so far, but the REAL fun began the morning I checked out. I woke up to find cockroaches in the bed. Let me repeat that. COCKROACHES. IN. THE. BED. I had pre-​paid for the room with my debit card, and by that point the only thing I wanted was to get out of there as fast as possible. For some strange reason, the complementary continental breakfast was not appealing to me at this moment.
So I checked out. I mentioned that there were roaches in the bed. The front desk lady looked mildly concerned and stated that she would let the manager know. No refund or discount was offered, and I was told that since I had pre-​paid with my debit card my balance was zero.
So I’m out eating breakfast, trying to forget this horrible experience, when I get a text from my credit card company that someone at Days Inn had just tried to make a purchase with my credit card. (Like most hotels, they had put it on file for ‘incidentals’ when I first checked in, but I had pre-​paid for my room with my debit card). I went right back to Days Inn and showed the front desk girl my text, and asked her if she knew anything about it. She looked really sheepish but denied using my card. I let her know that there was a fraud alert on my card, and if any unauthorized people tried to use my card they would not be pleased with the results.
My credit card company verified that someone at the desk used my credit card number, they canceled my card and are sending me a new one.
My stay at Days Inn was something that I will never forget. No matter how hard I try. You can’t make stuff like this up, I’m not even that creative. For the love of all that is holy, just spend a few extra dollars and stay somewhere else.

From the outside and hallways place looks outdated. Yet was pleasantly surprised when got to put room. Rooms were nice. Had a fridge and microwave. Beds were comfy with big fluffy pillows. Was very disappointed in the fitness room. A treadmill, bike, and small elliptical. No water, no towels, and no cleaning spray. Plus a luggage cart was stored in there. It was basically big enough for one person. Did have a tv though. But then I didn’t expect much for a fitness room here. Breakfast was good. Definitely would recc staying here if you’re not looking to spend a lot on a room. Plus it’s in walking distance to so many restaurants, bars, and stores.

So I stayed here for a conference and it was much more reasonably priced than other hotels in town. The room was not bad, there is a lot of traffic around the hotel, but it didn’t bother me. I had a nice view of a tree from my room. The room comes with a fridge and microwave. They have breakfast at the hotel and it seemed not badly placed in town.
Now for the things that bothered me, the fitness center is a joke. None of the equipment works properly. I got on the elliptical and it felt like I was one a rusty bike. It just was not smooth and therefore could not be used properly. Then I tried the treadmill and it’s straight broken. Breakfast was ok, but the fruit was straight old. There was a molding orange one morning. There was a large space under my door, large enough to fit the tip of my shoe under while wearing it. My toes fit very well under this door. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Lastly, the water coming out of my faucet would get warm, but the shower hardly at all.
So would I stay here again if I was in Raleigh, ummm no. Not unless I couldn’t find something less expensive than the conference hotels. If you’re only going to be in town for a night it’s not bad, but I was there for 5 days and was starting to get annoyed with things by the 3^rd or 4^th day.

I’m not sure why this hotel has such low reviews, but to each their own. It’s $ 90 for a weekend night, within walking distance to downtown Raleigh, restaurants, bars, capital building and close to the R line (bus).
I wouldn’t rate this place as the best place I’ve stayed in over the years, but it most definitely was a perfect place for the price we paid. Also, the service is 5+ stars. super hospitable!

Budget hotel nothing fancy but close to good bars and club museum needs updating but worth what we paid

There was some joker jacking his jaw allllllll night in the hallway talking on his phone. Aside from that and the weed smoke coming out of the room at the top of the stairs, it wasn’t a bad stay.
P. S. it’s not the smartest thing in the world to keep your doors open with a dogfood bowl. That’s how people get into trouble and you have too many people occupying rooms. Please watch your cameras!

We stayed here while visiting my brother, the hotel is dated and is due for remodeling. Our pinkish orange tub is reminiscent of something you would find in the 70’s. Carpets were worn out and it had that old hotel smell. Cost about $ 90/​night but I guess most of that is because of location as I’ve stayed in crummier Motel 6’s for $ 30 nearby.

First, the old refrain — you get what you pay for. This is a budget hotel. However, I was happy with my stay here. The rooms are older but very clean, and the employees were responsive to our requests. The free breakfast is small but satisfactory. We never had any issues with parking. The walls are very thin — don’t plan on sleeping in, because you can hear everyone that walks down the hall. We had no issues here.

Well if you like the smell of smoke and you love dirty carpets… you should definitely stay here.
I’m not a snob by any means… but this place is disgusting. I’m sure there are worse… but for a few dollars more, i’m sure there are definitely better.
We got a great rate for New Years Eve (12−31−11) and since it was walking distance to the festivities, we stayed. I would rather have driven the 90 minutes home at midnight than stay in the room. We got a «non-​smoking» room, but every inch of the place is infested with smoke smells. I mean come on… it’s 2012… even south of the Mason Dixon line establishments should realize that smoking is out.
THM (Take Home Message): If you are on a budget and you smoke (which is kind of an oxymoron b/​c a pack of cigarettes costs like $ 8 now… so can you really be on a budget???)…this is the place for you.
