My husband and I made reservations online at the Day's Inn in Blue Ridge, Ga. after finding no other vacancies at any other facility in or near there a month in advance. We had stayed at other Day's Inn motels before without any problems. Our room was unbelievable, horrible. It smelled of some chemical that brought to mind fuel exhaust which scared us. The bathroom was not clean, mold in the shower, a plastic coffee container was jammed under the leaking toilet tank, insufficient towels, one of which was almost black with stains, apparent feces on the wall near the light switch and loud noise from the exhaust fan. The coffee-maker had coffee remains in the decanter, no drinking cups for water. The fridge was barely working in the freezer area and had water standing in the bottom. No remote for the tv which we made a trip to the office for, holes in the walls (some looked like stab marks and some were where mirror or pictures had been yanked off and no attempt at repairing. The floor was dirty and we were afraid to put our luggage down on it or to walk barefoot on it. The sheets had yellow stains, but appeared to have been washed. The blanket had holes and pillows were inadequate. No microwave, no iron, no hairdryer, no smoke detector (it had been yanked from the ceiling and bare wires were hanging there. One chair had a burned hole in the seat and of course, none of the furnishings matched. The lamp shades were tilted at odd angles and had been broken long ago and dirty. This was a bad beginning to a much anticipated pleasure trip to see the Fall leaves. We knew that there were no other rooms anywhere, so in lieu of sleeping in our truck, we toughed it out. We did not even have the "luxury" of a shower before bed since we were afraid of what else may be lurking on the floor of the tub unseen. Out of curiosity, I went to the lobby, which was a mere passage-way to employees' area, to see what was offerred for breakfast which was supposed to be included in cost of room. I found boxed cereal, some store brand, 3 very overipe bananas, and small powdered donuts. I had already decided to eat elsewhere after the horrible room. As a point of interest to me and maybe me only, but every time we encounter a hotel or motel managed by people of middle Eastern decent, we find such conditions. There seems to be no apparent regard for cleanliness or service or repair. We made it to morning there and immediately canceled our reservation for the second night, figuring we would have to drive many miles for another accommodation. This horrible experience cost us more than $87.00 for one night!!! The manager was not surprised when we checked out, and we waited for a receipt to avoid being charged for the second night! I am contacting the Better Business Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor's Bureau and Days Inn Corporate Office which, according to the other comments I see here, will lead to nothing from Day's Inn.
