What guests think

At Days Inn by Wyndham Faribault, guests frequently note friendly, helpful staff and generally clean, budget rooms, but many also describe very small spaces with maintenance quirks and occasional noise from hallways or other guests, with some dated features.

Pool and hot tub experiences vary widely, with reports of closures, cold or cloudy water, and grime, though some travelers found the area pleasant when operating. Breakfast is often basic with limited choices and little or no protein, and the pancake machine frequently disappoints. The location offers easy access to highways and local roads, but a few guests felt it wasn’t near much and some noted road noise. Expect a simple, no-frills stay with tradeoffs.

It was okay, but definitely not great. The room was extremely small and very dated. The blanket was thin and old, and I even found hair in the shower. The pool and hot tub area wasn’t opened on time in the mornings and was left dark without lights. Staff did not come across as friendly—no one ever said hello, even after passing the owner/manager multiple times in the hallway. If you need assistance, it’s difficult to find anyone, as it seems the staff live on-site and the entire hotel constantly smells of their cooking, which carries into the rooms. The location isn’t near much, and while the price is reasonable, you truly get what you pay for. Overall, it’s a very basic, outdated hotel, and the tiny room (with a queen bed) was disappointing

The room was the smallest I've ever seen. The pool area was hot and humid. Ice maker made ice with paint shavings or someone similar in it. Breakfast was lack luster and had to go to Hardee's. Very over priced for what you get.

Room is clean, yes but I can smell odor, especially even someone is cooking in their room. Pool area is great but a lot of grimes on pool and hot tub walls. Both are very cloudy. I am very satisfied with this customer service at desk or sleep in the room. I

The hotel room was dirty. They was spiderwebs in the corner of the room by the floor which tells me they don’t vacuum correctly. Also the bathroom was dirty. Also the refrigerator was dirty with spill fluid left in there also a dirty napkin left inside the fridge as well. Definitely needs improvement with cleanliness

When we checked in the pool area was very crowded with very loud music playing. Seemed like there was a party, but the music was excessive. The room was dirty, including the walls and ceiling. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. The self-serve pancake maker was a lot of fun for my son.

Stayed for two nights while in Faribault for a work trip. The bed, furniture and bathroom were clean. However, the outlets were dirty, like someone had touched them with food grease on their hands. The staff was short and to the point but that was fine by me. The breakfast was pretty standard. The first night I stayed was a little noisy, and there were some sketchy people outside, however, the second night was just fine. Overall, it was inexpensive and did the job. You get what you pay for.

The room was clean and quiet. However, I had trouble sleeping due to a bright white light that flashed every few minutes from the fire alarm or some other light fixture along the ceiling during the night. That was a frustrating experience. The breakfast was fine but had minimal options.

Room too small, cramped feeling, barely any room to walk around the bed. Breakfast is a joke, 2 cereals, not so fresh (hard) bagels. Nothing hot except what fits in a toaster and automated pancake machine, which spits out two 4" half-cooked pancakes. Bowl of "fresh fruit" has a dozen dusty apples, which look like they've been there a few months (skin is rippled).

Horrible. I booked the hotel and put in the wrong date and I immediately asked Expedia and days in to adjust it. No one would. O was charged for a room I did not use. I called the days inn and they said they could not adjust the date and I needed to contact Expedia. When I contacted Expedia they told me to contact days inn. Terrible service on both ends

I liked that it had easy access right off the highway, and it was fairly clean. We stayed from Saturday thru Tuesday (we were gone during the day) and housekeeping never came to our room during our entire stay. Each time I went to the front desk to talk to someone, no one was there! The shower curtain rod was about to fall down, the breakfast options were limited, and I could't get the coffee machine to work in the breakfast area. We never received a copy of our bill under our door, and when we went to check we finally saw a different front desk person, but she was busy talking to someone else that appeared to either own the place or work there. If I was looking for a place to sleep for one night and start driving again the next morning, I would stay here - there is a Speedway gas station nearby to get coffee & breakfast! Otherwise, if you plan to stay longer and/or have kids, I would not recommend.

It is completely minimal with almost no protein. There was not even peanut butter for the bagels or toast. Boiled eggs would also be a nice addition. And something to be desired. But the area was very clean.
