What guests think

At Days Inn by Wyndham Cincinnati I-71, guests describe a budget, motel-style stay with frequent smoke odors (even in non-smoking rooms), inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, limited in-room amenities, and an overall property feel that does not match online photos.

Multiple guests also report safety worries around the property, including poor lighting, sketchy activity, and potholes, plus highway noise. Service is mixed: some mention friendly, helpful front desk staff, while others note reservation issues, towel shortages, and slow or unprofessional responses. Expect a very basic stopover with convenient highway access but few amenities and variable conditions.

There were vagrants hanging out in the parking lot. It was poorly lit and unsafe. The front desk person was very nice and said he would refund my money.

i got a smoking room and next to the ashtray was i sign saying you will get extra fees added for smoking in a smoking room. None handicap people parking in the handicap parking stalls. the sheets had cigarette burn holes in the sheets and comforters. the bathroom door would not close fully and wouldn't lock. No coffee or tea in the room not even a coffee pot. the wooden boards on the railings and walk way to room were rotting away. photos of rooms on website definitely do not match the rooms.

We were staying a weekend. At the time we stayed, they were renovating. That's great. . But we had no Ice Bucket in the room and when we asked for one they had none. Of course that was not a big deal. The vending machines were out of order so no cold drinks. When I asked for extra towels, they had none. We couldn't even get towels to shower the next day. Not even a wash cloth. No cleaning staff over the weekend. I don't know if this is new or something every place is doing. No big deal but I should have been able to get clean towels. Over all it was just ok.

This property did not look like the pictures once inside. Lots of sketchy behaviors going on outside of the building. Drug use, dogs tied up to the doors, etc. Multiple different cars in and out of property after only being there a short amount of time. Smoke smell even in the nonsmoking rooms. Very loud after 11pm not due to traffic but other occupants/people outside. 10/10 do not recommend. Ended up staying one night and leaving early instead of stay our whole stay.

Unfortunately, safety was NOT first at this hotel. The deadbolt on the door would not engage, the safety latch was broken, and there was a gap between the door and the frame. The smoke detector was also covered in plastic. It appears this property very recently was another chain and the only update made was a coat of paint.

The door didn’t deadbolt properly and the door bolt above was broken. We piled our suitcases in front of the door. The wind and the noise from the highway made it hard to sleep. It’s also a motel 6 - there’s just a sign in the yard that says it’s a Days Inn.

The only clean thing was the bedding. The space was dirty and old and smelled like it had been smoked in for 40 years! The ‘lobby’ was dirty, and the staff was unkempt. 3 bath towels and one washcloth was all that we got for a 3-night stay. It doesn’t deserve the 2-star rating - would not stay here again and would not recommend it.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. If I could I would rate it a -5. I had pulled off the sheets to check to see if there were any stains on the mattress or mattress pad and to check for bugs. It felt like a place you would rent hourly. The ratings of 4 or 5 I find suspect as this is not at all what would expect from a hotel. The management comment "to excuse the construction as renovations are going on" is had to believe considering there was not construction equipment, no indication any type of renovations was occurring. I didn't even stay in the hotel, I left! Here are the reasons why I would not recommend this hotel: 1. Room was dirty 2. Room smelled like smoke (had a nonsmoking room) 3. Holes in the sheets 4. Stains on the comforter 5. Towels smelled 6. Didn't feel safe 7. Curtains didn't cover the entire window

Was pretty expensive considering how dirty it was... hairy hotels, sheets came pre sanded... at least there were no bed bugs, walls and doors were filthy, we accidentally turned on the heater and the scent of cremation filled the air, cig holes in the sheets and overall looks like a place you'd go to cheat on your wife

The worst experience I have ever had! It is not a hotel. It is a motel. It’s extremely dirty. There were cigarette holes in the bedspread. Holes in the curtain. There was no phone so you couldn’t call the front desk. No alarm clock, no blow dryer, no coffee maker, no iron. There was a bug crawling on the wall and something crusty on the inner sheet. The toilet was wobbly.

Check in was easy and fast so no issue there but this was, I think, the worst places I’ve ever stayed in. Non-smoking room smelled of smoke or something and there were cigarette burns in the one blanket. The smell was so bad that our pajamas smelled like the room. It was 2 nights (2 very long nights) so we just sucked it up. Would not ever stay there again!! Bad, so so bad!!

I left that place completely congested and with my clothes smelling really bad of cigarettes because my room was terrible when I got there with that smell. I don’t smoke. DIRTY everywhere, the tablet, the chairs, the toilet, the sink. For using them, I had to take wipes and hand sanitizer and cleaned them by myself. I understand that it’s not a 5 star hotel, but it doesn’t mean that it has to be that bad. Never again.

"non" smoking room reeked of smoke. Ashes in bed and on counter and back of toilet. Sheets full of little burn holes. Fingernail in sheets. Overhead light randomly turned on 3 times in the night. Toilet not bolted down and rocked sideways everytime. Bathroom light did not turn on at all. Has booked 2 nights but we abandoned after the first night. Would give 0 stars and notify corporate. Hopefully they shut down so no one else has the misfortune of thinking this is the actual quality of a Days Inn and gets trapped there.

Although I booked the room for four nights, I checked out after just one. There was hair in the sink leftover from someone's shave; there was thick dust/dirt on the shelves where the towels were stacked; the room had a stale cigarette smell to it (possibly from prior years of smoking); the toilet seat was broken; the only pant hanger was broken; and there was a dampness to the room that the air conditioning couldn't dry out.

We did not take photos but I do have a video and if you are interested in it please let me know and I would be happy to send it to you. There was a shower cap with a rubber band on it over the smoke detector. That seems safe, right? Holes in walls and doors and some were not even patched. Don't waste your money.

We were charged twice and I had to spend so much time on the phone to get a refund for the second charge. Then at 1am staff tried entering our room waking up two children 2 and 4. I called and they said that they thought I checked out at 1am? It made no sense and we couldn’t get much sleep. Overall the experience took away from our trip.
