Days Inn Benson

My girl went to the office for an extra blanket and they wouldn’t give her one. She was even reluctant to hand over a roll of toilet paper, and my girl nearly had to pry it from her hands. Is that ridiculous or what? Unbelievable.

The place smelled awful, and the room reeked of chlorine. There were roaches and nats everywhere, bugs crawling around the toilet, stained towels and sheets, and no toilet paper or breakfast. The sink leaked, the remote didn’t work, and the lamp wouldn’t turn on. A huge gap under the door let bugs in, so I had to stuff a towel there. The actual door lock didn’t work either, and we had to use the lock thing on the wall. It was loud, with sketchy people around the premises, and the small “Mexican” restaurant attached to the hotel was loud too. The pictures they advertise don’t match the place at all. There’s little nearby besides a McDonald’s, a sketchy gas station, and a food lion. We were charged a $50 deposit I hadn’t been told about, and I still haven’t received it back. The lady was very rude when checking us in. People say you get what you pay for, but this “hotel” was absolutely the most disgusting, horrific place I’ve ever stayed. It’s not worth the trip or the money. Don’t waste your time.

There were dead bugs, dirt and cobwebs in the room, plus stains on the bedding and towels. The room reeked, the AC was just air, and neither the lock nor the remote worked. A giant gap under the door had to be stuffed with towels. Strange men were hanging around, which made the place feel dangerous. The night staff lady was rude and not very helpful. The pictures don’t come close to matching the place. No pool, no breakfast, no accommodations. I know you get what you pay for, but this room wasn’t worth anything. I’m reporting the place right after staying here. Wish I could give zero stars, actually, negative stars.

At 7:00 AM when I checked out, there was no coffee or breakfast to be seen. The bedding had clean sheets, and I checked the bed for bugs. It wasn’t fully made, which made searching easier. The spare roll of toilet paper in the bathroom had stains on it. The room stank of mold and mildew, so I had to air it out, then turn on the AC and spray it. At check-in, there was a sign saying the lobby was non-smoking, but the hostess and her friend were smoking in a cloud of cigarette smoke.
