What guests think

At Days Inn by Wyndham Salem, Illinois, travelers describe a budget, no-frills stay with convenient road-trip location, but recurring cleanliness problems (bugs, stains, odors), worn facilities, and maintenance issues, alongside occasional notes of friendly service and decent sleep.

Reports on the pool vary from well kept to closed or unclean, Wi-Fi is frequently unreliable, and the free breakfast is often minimal or missing. Several guests felt the property and surroundings looked sketchy, affecting their sense of security. Overall, expect a very basic stopover focused on low prices more than comfort.

This is a basic, budget-friendly motel. Good restaurants and grocery store nearby. Convenient location for travel to several towns nearby. Large room and bathroom (I had accessible bathroom with grab bars), very comfortable bed. Saw the occasional dead bug, but just ordinary bugs that might get into any southern household. Used by out-of-town railroad workers while I was there, so parking could be a short walk from room. Overall a good value.

Constant cars in and out with booming music, people in and out talking loudly. Looked like maybe they lived there, not sure. Entire front is filled with uhaul trucks so you can’t see the motel. We had reservations for two nights but we left in the morning and didn’t go back. Never again.

This place is super sketch at best. I told them they need to improve on the quality of the stays. I found a roach in my bed sheets and ask for new sheets and a vaccum. No discounts or refunds or anything for cleaning my own room. Which had multiple dead water bugs when I checked in too. They claim outside coming in but this company is making 70 a night per room so they definitely can afford to spray or put down some bug killer. Nextly had to ask for toilet paper, windows are filthy, pool is not clean and yes the property is dated but the owner can address many of the cleaning issues by paying someone to clean properly. People are living on site and they need to be checked out too how clean they are or are not. I’m a cleaning lady and landlord and most of the issues they have can be solved by just doing the work to make it a better experience for customers. It would be worth more money a night if they actually spent the time to CLEAN the property.

This was kind of a little rundown hotel, but I expected as much for the price. There were holes and the curtains and a ice machine right next to our room but no ice bucket, we had a coffee machine and sugar and a stirer. But no coffee. I would recommend bringing your own pillows. I gave this a two star rating because I have been worse. There was a refrigerator and a microwave. The pool was warm. But there was a pool. Driving into the front of this place. You thought you were going to an abandon building. But then you could see the open sign in the window of the parking lot.

The place is very hard to find, there are rental yrucks in front of it. It is very old, locks on doors did not inspire any safety. Turned the sink water on, got BROWN water pouring out fir the first 30 seconds. This really turned me off to tge idea of a nice shower. The pool was advertized, but closed until May 29th.

I guess I should've known because of the price but it wasn't a good place to stay. Room wasn't good at all, I killed three cockroaches. It was adequate for what I needed but I wouldn't recommend it to others.

The experience was exactly what I expected given the price of this hotel. Everything in the room that was fabric was very dated ie the bedding, curtains and carpet. The furniture was more modern as was the bathroom vanity. The room had large stains on the carpet and smelled of mildew. Overall it wasn't a bad experience, especially when factoring in the price. I think anything under $80 per night is fair, but if I had paid more, I would have been disappointed.

I was in town for a class reunion and did not have high expectations for the hotel (Days Inn is not known as a destination hotel) but this stay was unpleasant. There were dead bugs in the room, the towels were quite worn, and the television did not work. I called the front desk and was told someone would come to my room in a few minutes, but no one ever came. The site said there was a continental breakfast, but there was only coffee in the morning.

No one was at the front desk when I went to check in. I waited 15 minutes rang the bell and still no one. I was a tight schedule and had to leave to find another hotel in the area ASAP. I was still charged for a nights stay even though I did not stay at all because I could not get anyone to check me in.

The room and bathroom was outdated, but clean. I like rooms with the vinyl plank or tile floors instead of carpeting, but the carpet had been vacuumed and was in decent shape. The maid staff does not clean the room on a daily basis, so the towels we had for the first night were all we had until I went to the office the next day and asked for more. On the third morning I asked for maid service with enough towels to last for the two nights left to our stay, but only one set was left after the maid service. Also, there wasn’t any coffee supplies in the room except for the one day of the maid service. I don’t have a problem with the room not being cleaned daily, but I at least need fresh towels. For the rate being charged, I shouldn’t have to ask everyday for fresh towels. Otherwise, the room was comfortable.

Have stayed here 4 years ago and was nicer and cleaner, always some one on site. This time it took me 3 visits and 15 minutes each to get a key. Only real contact was in am , a really sweet older woman was at desk, she responded very quickly to my needs. Housekeeping is awesome, thanks for your support while I stayed, that's why I tipped. Wish the actual owner's were more attentive, would have made stay a little better.
