Days Inn Monroe

Nasty! We were close to falling asleep at the wheel so this Days Inn room was a need, not a want. This property is run down and the rooms are not well kept. There were heaps of furniture piled up in the rear of the building and the pool was covered despite it being June. The overwhelming smell of the room was like cigarette smoke being masked by the scent of potpourri. We had to remove the one thread-​bare blanket from the bed because it was covered with what looked like bodily fluids. The bed was firm but fine however hubby disagrees with this statement. The pillows could have been wadded up t-​shirts thrown into pillow cases as they were so lumpy, lumpy, lumpy. The front desk staff was friendly so this review does is not a reflection of their abilities. Definitely not worth $ 100+.

I like old places. I do. This place is old. Old can be nice. This old place is not nice. It’s really not the outdated amenities. It’s not the newly made hole in the wall (that was fixed, but not painted). If the Ritz-​Carlton was dirty, I would be disappointed. This Days Inn is a dirty mess. Old can be clean. Outdated can be clean. Old, outdated and dirty. Not a good combo.
