I am a frequent traveler. I am used to &quot;budget&quot; hotels and have never hate a major complaint. After our recent three night stay in Fredericksburg, VA, I felt the need to write.<br /> <br /> It's hard to say what was right about the visit (the breakfast wasn't bad).<br /> <br /> No advance notice that there was no pool (very hot; looking forward to that). The first room we were given was a no smoking room. It was so thick with smoke smell I almost choked. It was also an alleged handicapped room - not sure why they gave us that as we did have AARP but are not handicapped. The tile had fell off the wall and was laying all over the floor. If you had been handicapped, you would have tripped on it. We got a new room. This room was too bad (although I had to make 3 trips to the office to get a remote that would work the TV). However, I had the fortunate experience of calling the front desk, as there was a fight next door or very near - swearing, domestic violence, etc. etc. etc. That lasted about an hour. Apparently this is somewhat of a routine incident, as I heard it happened at another part of this hotel. As the individual at the desk said, it's not their fault when this happens.<br /> <br /> However, I am not sure this is really a hotel. I beliee it houses people on long-term basis and only part of it are stop in travelers like myself. I saw grills being used (which worried me about fire). The ice makers were always out of ice (again for those living their long term). When my husband opened the door a little child tried to come in - apparently used to visiting those that also are living their long term.<br /> <br /> It was a horrible experience from A to Z. We had paid up front with Travelocity or we would have left after viewing the first room. I am seeing why you have to pay up front - you wouldn't stay.<br /> <br /> By 4 p.m. upon returning to our room it still had not been cleaned; we leave at 8 a.m. for tourist sites and come back tired at 4 p.m., so we declined the room being cleaned at that point, as we wanted to lay down and rest.<br /> <br /> I have seen other sites with similar complaints. I am not bragging, but just this year we have stayed over 30 nights in a hotel. This was our first Days Inn visit and it on a scale of 1 to 10 didn't make the scale.
