Prodigy Hotel, a Days Inn by Wyndham

It's in a handy spot between the soccer fields where we were playing and downtown Davis, and the clean facility and rooms made for a positive stay. The water pressure and temperature were great. I did have a couple of small room issues: the outlet by my side of the bed wouldn't charge my phone, and the iron hanger came loose from the wall with barely a touch. They're introducing virtual kiosks for check-in and checkout, but they're outsourced, and I still had to wait for the front desk person to get to my room. I'd stay again.

Everyone I encountered on staff was courteous and professional. The rooms were super clean, and the location worked perfectly for UC Davis Veterinary business. The pool looked clean and inviting, though it was too cold for me to get in.

The king room had loads of space, enough that another full bed could have fit and still left it roomy. I also liked the built-in personal care products, Keurig, mini fridge, and microwave. The main problem was the mattress, which was extremely hard and uncomfortable. I was in the back building too, with no nearby ice machine, which was inconvenient. Better beds would make this a much better stay.

The walls and floors are thin, so you can hear people above and on either side. Still, the rate wasn't bad, and the room was clean with nice beds and bathroom. We didn't bring our fur baby, but they asked about pets at check-in, so now we know they're welcome. Be prepared for virtual front desk check-in.
