Days Inn Sumter

The hotel was acceptable as it was only for sleeping as I stayed with family during the day. Had it been used for longer periods of time I would not recommend it. It was old and not up to date.

Location was on the "main drag" so shopping, eating and entertainment were all within a short drive. Room and bathroom were clean and the graounds were as well. It may have been a little early for their outdoor people to be really "opened" but it could have used some attention. But overall, we had a nice 2 day stay!

Hotel is older and no frills! With that said it was clean and a good price for last minute planning. I would not pay higher then $65.00 for these rooms though!

Good customer service/response for very late check-ins. Good location close to food, shopping, gas, etc. Close to AFB but far enough Continental breakfast just okay. Free WIFI is a major plus. I changed rooms after arrival and at staff suggestion even though problems were minor. Moved from double to king suite. Both rooms were clean and bedroom bed setups were a nice touch. Minor issues during stay included: noisy air/heat unit, very noticeable peeling wallpaper, no "Do Not Disturb" sign, noisy bathroom light/fan, TV remote missing back cover, chair to desk missing (staff delivered chair within 10m of request), and shower leaked behind shower wall when shower was on. Most annoying/disappointing: Maintenance banged on door before it was time for me to checkout to supposedly inquire about a curtain rod (non emergency which could have waited until I checked out of the room) and Housekeeping entered room without knocking and before it was time for me to checkout. Maintenance and upkeep could use attention and would certainly have made a difference in my rating. Overall the stay was quiet, the room and bathroom were clean, the location was good, I felt safe, and customer service/response was good. Decent and inexpensive for a short 1-2 day stay.

I like the chain but this location seems to be in need of some grounds upkeep. Walkways outside of motel rooms are filthy and need a good pressure washing. Had to call housekeeping to stock my towels and clean the sink area. Ick! but they did and were sorry for the imposition. To be honest I think I would spend the xtra money and pass on this one in the future.

This Day's Inn is convenient to many locations in Sumter. The rooms were large enough and there was a minifridge and microwave. I was very dissatisfied with the beds. The mattresses were old and the sheets older. There was no matress pad and the sheets felt like they had been on the ground before in the bed. They were dirty with bits of dirt loose on the sheets. The sheets were pilled (poor quality) and did not feel comfortable. The pillows were lumpy as well. The inside of the shower curtain was spotted with mildew. The breakfast was continental style in the check-in area. This was the highlight of the hotel.
