The ladies at the desk both the nighttime check in and the next morning when we left we're fantastic and super helpful. I would have loved to have had a hair dryer in the room but I should have asked that beforehand I just assumed but you know what happens when you do that but other than that it was perfect. The bed was super comfortable and the AC unit works GREAT!!!

The staff was really nice, but staying here made me feel really poor. Upon driving up the half Days Inn sign and outside of the building..that was just an eyesore. There was no phone in our room. The lobby is just atrocious… due to the smell. The bedroom was very nice, but the bathrooms could use an update.

At one time this place was probably nice back in the day. Im assuming it might have been a days inn back when. It's sad because if someone had the money to renovate it would be a nice place. In a pinch I'd say ok but look elsewhere if you can. I was stuck staying here because it was graduation at UF and and all the nicer places were either booked or prices hiked sky high.
