Days Inn by Wyndham Salem, Illinois

The floor was sticky, the toilet wouldn't flush until I shortened the chain in the tank, the fridge's freezer door was broken off, and the hairdryer didn't work. The beds, at least, were comfortable and looked clean, and the TV worked fine. If all you need is the bare minimum for sleeping, it might do. For comfort, I'd look elsewhere.

The room was freezing when I arrived, and the heater smelled strange. The bathroom sink had white residue on the counter, the curtain was coming down, and there was mold around the tub. The toilet flusher was broken, so I had to fill the trash can with water to flush it. There were stains on the towels, carpet, sheets, and pillows. The room was dirty. Yuck. This place should be ashamed. DO NOT STAY HERE! 😔😷🤮🪳

I found a bed bug within five minutes of getting there. The guy at the front desk didn't look surprised or bothered when I told him. I handed back the keys and got out. The place smelled like the blankets had been washed and then left in a washer for a month. Nothing good to say about it.

I had to call Wyndham directly to check out because nobody was around. I left a note at the desk saying I'd gone and needed to check out, while the phone kept ringing and ringing. The next morning I called to make sure I was checked out, but the line was constantly busy. The whole place smelled bad, and my room reeked of cigarette smoke. It was filthy enough that I bought sheets to put over the bed's sheets. One of the grossest hotels I've stayed in. Even if it were free, I wouldn't spend another night there. Find somewhere else.
