This property look and smell like a crackhead infested motel. The rooms were disgusting, with water damage walls and roaches. I check in and check back out the same day. They stated that a manager would get in touch with me regarding a refund, but i've haven't heard from anyone regarding this issue.

Awful

This hotel is nothing like the pictures. The room wasn’t t clean. The ac was off when I went into it. Ended up going to another hotel as we were NOT staying in this one. I would not recommend this hotel. Was very disappointed as we figured a Wyndham hotel would be better.

Booked very last minute w/o reading reviews, or likely would gone elsewhere. Property very dated, with updates needed. Sink faucet was about to fall off.Room was clean, as were beds/sheets, but there were several cockroaches in the room. Breakfast was a snack bag w/sunny d and a few wrapped pastries. Staff was nice and though it looked a bit sketchy, all turned out ok for a single night stay.

The best I can say about this Days Inn was that our bed and bathroom were clean. and it was 10 min away from Duke Hospital. The motel is terrible! We will NOT stay there again!
