Days Inn by Wyndham Guelph

The staff let me leave my truck in their parking lot for the day after I checked out at 7:30 a.m. and packed it, so I could attend the last day of my conference and load my scooter before driving back to Woodstock. I really appreciated that. I was in Guelph for a three-day conference at the University of Guelph. My room was extremely clean, comfortable, and well appointed. I have a spinal injury and prefer a somewhat rigid mattress, and this one suited me well. I slept fine the first night and reasonably well the second and third. Great rooms, service, and hospitality. I’d heartily recommend the Days Inn on Gordon Street in Guelph. Thank you.

There’s plenty of parking, the staff are excellent and friendly, and the location is great, with a shopping centre across the street behind the hotel and more shops a few streets away. My only complaint was the second bed, which sat right above the room’s air conditioner. It blew cold air all night, every night. Those old, bulky units should be replaced with something quieter and more modern.

The online photos looked fine, and I only needed somewhere for one night while I was at a horse show, nothing fancy. But this place was gross and really run down. There were stains all over the carpet, hair on the bed, and mold on the ceiling. I didn’t expect that for nearly $300 for one night. Learn from my mistake, don’t stay here.

Being able to bring my dog was a real bonus, and I was very grateful for it. The morning coffee was very good, too. The woman at the front desk was kind when we checked out. Still, I was disappointed with the stay. There was no bath chair for someone with mobility issues, so I brought my own. The floor didn’t look clean, and we couldn’t regulate the heat. Nobody made the beds or brought fresh towels, so we had to ask. I understand not changing the sheets, but making the beds and cleaning the bathroom should be standard. The curtains were about four inches too short, so passing cars lit up the room. On the second night we used a towel to cover the window.
