Days Inn

Being a Marriott/​Hilton snob, When my «friend» suggested getting a room, this was the LAST place, I thought he would call and say… lets meet here.
I get here and the first thing I had to do was run across the street to the Walmart for some Febreeze candles and air freshner. Not that the room was smelly… it just had a old cheap hotel smell. I dont think he requested a specific type of room, and they probably gave him a smoking room, and they use some kinda neturlazier to kill the smoke scent… but this stuff is worse than the smoking scent.
The room was clean, but remember thinking that I’d hate to see what a blacklight would show.
These rooms are OLD… and when I say OLD… I mean old air conditioners/​heaters that run loudly all nite.
What started off as a romantic nite get-​away turned out with me complaining ALL nite that I couldnt breathe (what is that smell), its hot in here… oh…u just said it was cold (forgive me for not being unused to preset digital wall mounted air/​heat controllers)…are u sure my car is goinna be alright out there (the hotel sits in the cut behind a Wendys/​Burger King and across from a Bigs Lots and Car Wash.
Once I chilled out with all my complaining, I did notice that the property was very quiet… not screaming kids or drunks abound. That Wendy’s late nite drive thru came in handy about 1am when I decided that I was no longer botherd by the smell, (half the candle was gone, and a third of the air freshnere)…but was hungry.
I never been so happy to check out of a place…
Maybe I had the same room as the previous Unilocaler… as our bathroom door wouldnt close either.
Cheap rooms if you need a room in a fix… but for $ 59…there’s got to be something a little better.

Have you ever seen a random hotel on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and wondered «Who the heck would stay in the Hampton inn in Fairfax, VA?» Well i now know the answer.
People who are suposed to be staying with a friend in Atlanta, but decide to drive half an hour to a prewedding bonfire, only to not be able to find it and drive around for fourty five minutes through fields with goats and cows until it was 130 and you didn’t feel like driving all the way back to the city to wake up your friend or scare the crap out of them by just showing up. So at 2am, the Days Inn Union City seemed like the Ritz Carlton.
I will admit, i was slightly worried about the fact that i couldn’t get into the lobby and had to do all of my business through a little hole in the glass window, but i didn’t care cause it was 2am and i wanted to sleep.
5 stars for having vacancy at 2am and for costing $ 50
–1 star for the slight ghettoness
–1 star for the fact the bathroom door didn’t close
+1 star for having a continental breakfast
–1 star for it ending at 9 am!
+1 star for free wifi
–1 star for it being password protected and having no literature as to the password
Overall it was convienent and only mildly ghetto and answered my lifelong question of who stays in these hotels!
