“whatch it cause they'll screw ya!!”

Days Inn South Seattle

May 20, 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

First of all the place was a dump but my husband and i already paid for the roomin advance for 5 days. the room didn't get cleaned until the day before we left, We had to go to the front office ourselves to get extra trash bags and stop the cleaning lady while outside smoking for clean towels. Oh if you are a smoker i would suggest to just leave your cigarette butts on the ground outside because we tried to do the right thing and put them in the garbage can inside the room, but instead they debited our account $100 because the room smelled like cigarettes. When i talked to the manager a day later he said "basically it's too bad because theres nothing that can be done, it smelled like it to the cleaning lady therefore you must have smoked in the room" . Their word against ours basically. The only other people that stay there are the workers, so they have to get there money somehow huh?... I will never stay there again and I wouldn't suggest anyone stay there.

Unfortunately, we do charge a damage fee if a guest smokes in a non-smoking room (this is clearly stated on a sign at the front desk when you register). This fee is charged for the additional cleaning required to remove the cigarette smell from the non-smoking room. As any non-smoker can attest, this odor lingers and is quite difficult to remove. Three employees, including myself, found a noticeable smoking odor after this guest had departed. As such, we felt that it was appropriate to charge this guest a fee for violating our smoking policy.

As for her comments, concerning service at our hotel, none of these issues were brought up to me or my staff, during her stay or even during our conversation on the phone, the day after she departed. Although I have discussed these issues with my staff, I believe that we have a superior staff at our hotel and our hotels cleanliness and service, rivals any of our competition.

“Excellent service”

Days Inn South Seattle

5 of 5 stars
Seattle
Jan 17, 2008

I enjoyed my stay in a clean quiet room after a long day in the city with the convenience of having a fridge to store my left over food from the restaurant and microwave to heat it later that evening. In addition, I enjoyed the continental breakfast waffles and juice in morning and friendly front desk that made the stay more pleasant. I would defiantly come back to stay at this hotel again.

“Very convenient for shopping”

Days Inn South Seattle

4 of 5 stars
Seattle
Dec 21, 2007

This is the second time i have stayed here and its great! its very close to the southcenter mall and there were many resturaunts in the area. The staff was very friendly and told me how to get where. The lobby computers were convenient to find more info about the area. the room was very clean and spacious. They would've given more towels, but i called the front desk and they sent them right up. i think this was a great hotel for the price. i reccomend it to anyone!

“It is a Dump!!!”

Days Inn South Seattle

Sep 13, 2007
3/4 found this review helpful

The internet site and pictures are misleading. It is an old hotel that is in the middle of an industrial area. Interstate I-5 is close as is a crane hire company, a large trucking company yard and to add a little more noise a Harley motorbike dealer. Did not feel safe there, especially at night. To top it off in the morning 2 police cars, thought they had come for a free dough nut, but no they had been called for a problem. Other guests included workers on a construction project, and it seemed a large number of homeless war vets. Rooms ok, bit not great. Breakfast crowded and closed before the stated time due to running out of food. I would not stay there again, spend the extra 20 dollars and go closer to the airport. Expedia shows this as a 2 star hotel, it deserves a 1/2 star. I did not stay at the Days Inn at Seatac, but I think it would be a much better choice for the same rate.

I am writing this response to a negative review of our inn. Although, many points may have been valid, prior to my arrival in August of 2007, I believe we have made great strides in the renovation of the property. The owners of the property have invested much into capitol improvements at our inn, and I believe the results are showing. Included in these improvements are, new carpets, draperies, bedspreads, bedding and interior and exterior painting and construction.

Concerning our location…although we are located near a freeway and in a semi-industrial area of the city, I look at our location as one of the most convenient areas of the city. We are within minutes of either downtown Seattle or Sea-Tac Airport. Are you going to see one of Seattle’s profession sports teams? Days Inn, South Seattle/Tukwila is only minutes from either Safeco Field or Quest Field. A major shopping mall is less that 10 minutes away, a golf course less than 5 minutes and many restaurants are within walking distance of our inn.

One final point…one review of this property has included comments pertaining to “homeless war vets”. I believe the review containing that statement was astonishingly insulting, to the men and women that have served our country. Although, yes we do have Veterans staying at our inn, theses men and women are not homeless. These are Veterans who have served our country and are at inn to recuperate from medical treatment at a local hospital. I am proud to have them staying with us.

“Convenient Park-Stay-Fly Choice”

Days Inn South Seattle

3 of 5 stars
Grandview, Washington
Sep 3, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We booked the room through Park-Sleep-Fly in order to have free parking for the week we were on our trip, so this was a convenience stay more than anything else.

There is nothing fancy about the place, as would be expected with this chain, but it was clean, relatively quiet (even though it is next to the I-5 freeway) and seemed pretty secure.

The check-in staff was courteous and helpful. The shuttle to the airport takes about 10 minutes.

Breakfast selections are limited though they do have waffles.

There is a restaurant next door (we did not use) and two drive-in restaurants within a block.

The hotel is in a light industrial area where crime does not seem to be a problem. Our vehicle was unmolested during the week it was parked at the hotel.

Our only minor difficulty was in getting the shuttle to pick us up at the airport on our return since the front desk clerk did not see we had reservations. I had to explain that we had stayed there and that our car was parked there for them to send a shuttle -- we then ahd to wait for 30 minutes at 8 PM in the evening for our ride to come.
