Days Inn Elizabeth City

Two stories, exterior entrances.
I did have a comfortable king bed. The a/​c unit worked well on a summer night. The wifi worked well, just required that you log on every 4 or so hours. The housekeeper for my room was polite and efficient. The room price is below the other chains in the area.
However…
Entered the lobby a little after 9pm (had to be buzzed in) and immediately noticed a large hole in the ceiling with several buckets below. On another spot in the ceiling paint was peeling. Asked the clerk about it and she said something about it being water damage. (Of course I am thinking there are rooms above it so I wondered what happened up there?)
The room is very plain. One brightly colored wall, no artwork. No comfortable lounge chair, just a table and two chairs. The HDtv had some quirky problem. Many channels would have a message saying something about needing to recheck the connections or call customer service, then the channel might pop on. Got bad pixelation on a local channel that made it unwatchable, and the local NBC channel was never view able. And if that wasn’t enough of a goofy happening with the tv, it would switch from what you were watching to another channel or that warning sign would pop up again.
Exterior of the property is faded and not welcoming.
Not a place I can recommend.

This hotel was absolutely a nightmare. Bug and roach traps by the bed, bugs in the air conditioning vent, spider webs on the ceiling as well as dirty toilet water. I booked on
—-never book here ever! I’m still battling with my refund. This is ridiculous. We didn’t even stay here, checked out and the staff was nasty !!! NEVER AGAIN —

It’s a place to sleep and that’s about it. The interiors need updating BADLY! We are in a non-​smoking room but there are cigarette burns on the blanket. The bath tub needs some serious cleaning. I don’t know if it’s mold or not, but there is something black under the rim of the bath tub. There’s no exhaust fans in the bathroom either. The TV seriously has to be from the early 80’s. We will be finding another place to stay in the future.
