Days Inn Flagstaff – West Route 66

This review is based solely on the bathroom situation. WHY was the shower head hung at chin height?! I’m not a giant at 5’8″. Who do they think is showering here, Oompa Loompas? At that height there was no possible angle to put the shower head so that the water would actually hit the top of my head. They also had two dials for the hot and cold water, and it was an impossible balance to try to find the magic combination in between hot lava and freezing. The two stars are for the hot lava extreme of the water. It was cold there. Real cold. I’d prefer a hot shower opposed to a cold one. I would have liked a hair dryer that actually worked though to dry my wet head and scalded scalp after trying to shower.

If I knew how bad service was going to be, I would have rather slept in my van. Beds were rock hard and uncomfortable. At breakfast, we arrived at 8am (1hr before breakfast ends.) we waited in like for an hour and a half. They refused to refill the waffle batter and milk so I literally left with nothing. No breakfast. The owner didn’t bother fixing my problem. Worst place ever to stay.

Our expectations weren’t too high based on a previous experience at a Days Inn, but the price was good so we went with it (Our price was $ 85/​night, good considering it was Thanksgiving weekend). However once we got there and checked in and got into the room we were thoroughly impressed.
I have a sensitive nose so I wasn’t sure what to expect but we got into the room and it actually smelled good! Everything was clean, the carpet looked fine, the bathroom in both the lobby and our room was completely spotless. The clerk at the front desk was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We checked in kind of late so everything downstairs was closed, but still looked great.
It is no 5 star hotel, but I’m giving it 5 stars because I feel they maintain it as if it were.
I definitely would stay there again and recommend! Great hotel!!!

BEDBUGS! BEDBUGS! BEDBUGS! Do not stay here! We found a bedbug under our pillow. Unfortunately it was in the morning after our stay. My husband even took the bug in a cup to the front desk and they did nothing. I have everything we brought all bagged up to be cleaned to make sure that the bugs don’t find their way into our home. It can cost thousands of dollars to treat an infestation. Please don’t stay here.

I saw the «Award Winning» stuff, but I have to say this hotel is just ok. Quiet, clean, modest, but the room smelled like a smoker had lived in it for awhile (in a non-​smoking room). Perhaps a thorough cleaning (wash the curtains, steam clean the rugs, wash the bedspread) would have helped. Continental breakfast could have been improved with some VERY simple additions: small croissants, scones, etc. Instead, it looked like cheap bread. Coffee so so. Just saying.

This is about this specific hotel, there’s at least 3 in the area.
First off, Days Inn is a budget chain, and I don’t expect much, just a clean room and reasonable rate, I’m in and out. The night clerks were not particularly frisky, but no problems getting checked in, booked via
However this property was remarkable. It was likely a conference center in past life. What sets it apart is the lobby– a separate building, very large, with a lot of comfortable seating, two pool tables, foosball, and nice seating area for included Days Inn simple breakfast, may have been a restaurant at one time. and even has a small gym. You can actually hang out here in the evening Great fireplace, but not in use.
Very large open courtyard in the middle of the rooms with pool, though not well landscaped. The room we had was old, but clean enough and very large, with a king bed. It’s somewhat off the main I40 hwy, but rte 66 goes in front and trains in back, so not particularly quiet. The immediate neighborhood has some closed businesses and a trailer park that gives it a run down feel, but feels safe enough otherwise, took a walk around and there’s some interesting houses. Within walking distance of the Riordon house.
Note– the Travelodge right next to it is also owned by Wyndham, like Days Inn. and uses one of the same buildings in the complex, but does not share facilities otherwise, though you could probably go over anyhow.

this is a must «stay away» review. The service was horrible. Just all around bad experience we stayed a total of 30 min before we checked in to a different hotel. The whole hotel seems like it’s going to fall apart any day. They don’t tell you about the pet policy till you check in and it’s too late. Unprofessional staff. I can not stress this enough STAY AWAY!

I went there and it is a clean and nice place to stay and I really like the manager shauna she was very helpful and made sure I knew they had coffee and tea hot all day. Thank you and I will be going back there 100%

I haven’t stayed in a Days Inn in about 20 years. I’m hoping to make it at least 20 more (if ever).
On the way home from a trip with my family I discovered that our vehicle had an issue and would not make it back home. Since it was Sunday, we elected to spend the night in town and get it to a garage first thing in the morning. I was very impressed/​pleased that the motel was able to get us into a room on short notice with early check in. Going into the room we ran into the cleaning staff (who were very nice people).
We got settled in, left our two dogs in the room and went to dinner. The room was a little dated/​run down but, considering the cost I was not immediately concerned. I noticed an odd smell (something like pet carpet shampoo I thought) but paid no attention. When we returned from dinner I smelled what I would call a «foul stench» in the room. My dogs, did not leave a mess or anything of that sort. It was the room itself! I’m guessing a hefty amount of febreeze was used initially to cover the odor. I also noticed a huge bag of garbage right outside our room and a roll-​away bed sitting on the sidewalk a few doors down.
To make things better, within a short period of time my son was actively itching despite having just been bathed (he has no animal allergies but had been playing around in the room). My wife experienced the same thing. When I started feeling like something was biting me I made the executive decision to check out, rent a car and drive home that night.
We asked the front desk staff if any sort of discount was possible since we stayed all of maybe 5 hours (on the generous side). They said, they would have to ask the manager when he returned. My wife called the manager and his response was that since they were full and couldn’t show the room as «available» they would charge us for the entire stay.
The foul stench makes me think they’re rarely in danger of being full… Next time, I’ll trust the reviews and my gut.

One of the noisiest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I could hear people talking from the rooms on either side of me. The AC made such an awful noise you couldn’t hear the TV unless you turned the volume way up. The door had gaps were you could see outside. The room was dirty, used straws and food crumbs in the carpet.
One good note, the staff is friendly.

We got bed bugs from this hotel and have contacted the owner and corporate. The owner was rude and denied having bed bugs. Clearly from reading the reviews (should have done prior to our stay) bed bugs happen VERY often here! STAY AWAY
We have also contacted corporate, they said they would get back to us and two weeks later still nothing. We are extremely unhappy with our stay and the way we have been treated. Very, very poor customer service. Would not recommend this hotel or any Wyndham hotel

Reserved a room for three adults with two queen size beds. Verified the size of the beds at the front desk when we checked in and the man at the desk verified they were Queen beds. They were both full-​size beds, very small for two grown ups to be comfortable in. The bathroom was really small. TV was from the dark ages but did provide a decent picture. Unfortunately, the town had the regional soccer team get together this weekend and we had kids running up and down the above walkway very late and very early the next morning. I would expect to spend maybe $ 45 — $ 60 a night tops for a place like this, not the $ 160 I paid. But that was not as bad as the guy who came in on check– in day and had to pay $ 299 and up into the $ 300s as was told to us by the desk clerk. Guess I’m not used to it but it seems the entire town of Flagstaff gouges patrons. I was charged $ 15 for my small dog.
I would not recommend nor would I stay here again.
Room appeared clean but did smell like french fries of all things.

*** RUN AWAY FROM HERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN! ***
First of all, there are 2 Day’s Inn Hotels in Flagstaff, so please note that I am reviewing the one off Route 66…
I made a reservation for March1, 2015 through HOTELPLAN​NER​.COM for this Days Inn. The email they sent me said «To Avoid Being Billed Cancel by 6:00 PM 01-​Mar-​15 Penalty Amount 36.00 USD Per Room Plus Taxes per night Starting 01 Mar.»
Well, as luck would have it, that day the wife and I got stuck at the Grand Canyon in 7 inches of snow! So at 4:15 pm I called Days Inn to cancel, and was curtly told that they could not do that, and that I could only cancel by talking with HOTELPLAN​NER​.COM. So I called them and they said «no, we can’t do that — you have to deal directly with the Hotel.» So I went back and called the hotel again. They were ADAMANT in their refusal that they could not cancel my reservation on the same day. In fact, this is the story I got from talking with the owner and an employee.
Turns out that HOTELPLANNER simply has an «agreement» with the hotels they represent to people like me who go to them for a reservation, and it really IS up to the hotel owners to honor the agreement. I spent SO MUCH OF MY TIME calling them the following week, and having to hear them snarl at me over the phone that I wasn’t going to get a refund.
So I called my bank and complained and asked them to give me back my money, which they did. Then they went after Days Inn for the money.
Don’t go to this hotel — they were HORRIBLE on the phone with me and would have kept my money if I had not persisted in getting it back. I had to INSIST that they honor their promise!!! Go figure… I don’t need this kind of aggravation and neither do you! It put a bit of a nasty time on an otherwise wonderful trip. Weasels…
I FINALLY GOT MY REFUND FROM THEM A MONTH LATER.
PS — I notice that on Trip Advisor and perhaps on Unilocal, there are some very nice sounding responses from the management. Don’t be fooled. If these guys really cared about you, given all the complaints I have read about this place, they would have been much more pro-​active about creating a much nicer customer experience. It seems to me after reading many of the reviews that they simply don’t care enough.
As reviewer Ashley B. says of this place «Run, run away!» To which I would add a thick bold underscore (if only I could)… And if I could rate these guys with a «0» I wouldn’t hesitate…

Run, run away!
I have made an executive decision that my husband and I will no longer stay at not-​so-​good motels/​hotels when we travel. This Days Inn takes the cake.
Rooms are old, dated, and yet have strangely updated bathrooms/​showers with odd paint on the walls. No exhaust fan in the shower. One tiny soap and one tiny shampoo are provided to you by the hotel — how chintzy!
Also, I didn’t bring a dog, but I noticed they say they are a «pet friendly» property, yet there are signs posted all over the grass area that says, «No Pets Allowed». Err, ok? Where are these animals you are allowing going to use the restroom then? The parking lot? Weird.
It’s a motel, don’t expect much. It is also on a track of road filled with other motor-​lodges and motels, so no real privacy.
Continental breakfast was awful — stale doughnuts, stale English Muffins, and one of those barely working waffle irons. And BAD coffee. *thumbs down*
The staff was OK, but I witnessed another guest getting into it with the person running the front desk, and it seemed like the front desk guy was just trying to weasel his way out of something. No bueno.

The wifi doesn’t work and when I called front desk to say that an indian person answered and was very rude. Didn’t even bother to help and No manners at all. Very disappointed. Never coming back no matter what.

My boyfriend and I had booked a room for 1 night at this location. All I can say now is how much I regret not reading Unilocal reviews before my stay. First impression, the outside of this hotel felt dead and run down, after entering the lobby my boyfriend and felt somewhat better because the lobby was decent. But oh did we have another thing coming.
After we received our keys to our room, not only surprised of how old and mistreated this place looked, our «non smoking» room had a terrible old, musty, somebody probably died in here kind of smell. We literally had to go to target across the street to buy lysol to not only kill the terrible odor but probably kill all the germs in the room. The king bed was decorated in an out dated yellow comforter that looked over used, the tv was also out dated. You would think in the generation of technology they would have a small flat screen of some sort instead of a 1960’s fashioned tv. The sitting area near the door was random, found it pointless and if you’re wondering that too was outdated. The bathroom was the only «okay» part of the hotel. The towels on the other hand have obviously been bleached a million times because they were not soft at all, more like scratchy and rough. The sheets inside the bed were also the same way.
When I finally sucked up the courage to sleep in the bed, it only took me 10 minutes to get out of it because I was so itchy from the over bleached sheets. Although this room only costed 59 $ plus tax which made it 69 $ I wouldn’t pay 10 $ to sleep here again. Not worth it. I suggest you spend a little extra money on another hotel because you definitely get what you pay for here. — Alexis S.

You get what you pay for. Well, this room was a little pricier than some of the nearby hotels, but it still wasn’t very good. Our room had a funky smell that gave us a headache. We ended up opening the window to get fresh air in (hello 30 degrees!). The carpet was all wet near the sink and the baseboards looked stained. Some sort of leak, I guess. The walls were super thin, and we could hear everything going on next door. I didn’t mind that so much, but it seemed to scare my dog a little since she wasn’t used to noise.
Oh, you call this place «pet friendly» but there are «no pets allowed» signs plastered all over the grassy areas. You want my dog to pee on the smelly carpet of your room? No? Cool? My dog will use your grass.

After reading all of the other reviews, I thought for certain that this experience would be dreadful. Well… it wasn’t. It was great! I enjoyed the stay!
I booked my stay on

Overall, it was a good experience! We enjoyed our stay! And for $ 52 a night, you can’t beat the price. Also pets are allowed for $ 10 a day. Good deal, good experience and good place to stay!

$ 45/​night and not worth a dollar more. (That was after the desk lady quotes me a higher price than my coworker even though we wore the SAME UNIFORM. And got there at the SAME TIME IN THE SAME VEHICLE.)
ANYWAY. …
I’m here stuck on business and not by my choosing (my coworker smokes like an old diesel engine so… there ya go). There’s mold in the (non smoking) room. My allergies are going nuts. Housekeeping barges in when you’re trying to sleep. Yay for door chains! (The walls are so thin that you can hear the flat tires of the house keeping carts flub-​flub by.) Checkout time is 11 am the housekeeping staff has been hovering around my room since 7 am local time (I have my room for three nights. This makes night #2). Annoying! Be sure to bring your own pillow. As with every Days Inn this location uses euro pillows which are half the standard size. (So folks don’t steal them?)
Also — It’s on the transcontinental railroad so almost solid train traffic.

My family stayed there for 3 nights this past weekend for a family reunion. We booked about 10 rooms total and everyone agreed this was a terrible hotel. I’m not even sure where to start. At check-​in, we were told that a crib for our 1 year old would be an extra $ 10 per night. I have never had to pay extra for a crib and this hotel has a «kids 17 and under stay free with an adult» policy. I mentioned this and the hotel staff member told me that because my rate was low, I had to pay extra for a crib. I mentioned that no hotel has ever charged me for a crib and he said that I probably paid more at the other hotels.
Let’s start with the room, which was a dump. There was mold in the bathroom, the exhaust fan didn’t work and was barely attached to the wall, the towels were paper thin, the hair dryer didn’t work (which they replaced very quickly with a working one), and there were bugs in the room. Each room had 1 pillow that was OK, and several other half pillows that were so old that the stuffing inside was only about half the width of a regular pillow. This was consistent in all the rooms we rented.
The breakfast was terrible. Just some cheap greasy donuts, bread, cereal, and a couple waffle makers. The high chairs had unusable straps, which resulted in a trip to the emergency room and stitches for our 1 year old son. The straps had a velcro lock, but were so short you couldn’t use them. We complained to the front desk but they said it wasn’t their problem because the breakfast area was another company. The carpet in the breakfast/​lobby area was so dirty that when our son was crawling around on it for a couple minutes, his knees and hands were black. The carpet was also frayed and torn at the seams.
They had a bar in the lobby but it was never open in the 3 nights we were there (a weekend.)
My recommendation is that you avoid this motel and find another where the staff actually cares enough to maintain the property and provide good service.
