Days Inn by Wyndham Cedar Falls- University Plaza

The room smelled like urine. The halls reeked of curry. The bed was hard. The pillows were flat. There were no instructions for where to get ice or any accommodation. You get what you pay for I guess. Keep this in mind if you’re desperate for a place to sleep and aren’t picky about things like comfort.

They charge an extra hundred dollars and do not inform you of such or even have a receipt stating the fact. Then if you’re traveling with pets they put you in the dirtiest room possible and expect you to be ok with it. Check your room before you stay.

Ok for a one night stay. Nothing fancy. Descent bed and no outside noise during our stay. Good location.

Why Wyndham allows their brand to be tarnished by this smelly, dirty rundown hotel is a mystery. Avoid at all costs. It’s disgusting.

We booked a room for 5, and they gave us one for 4. Seems there are no 5 beds ones… after some conversations we were borrowed a matress, sheets, and a blanket. reallybdissapointing

We had an issue with the room when we first got to it; the manager was apologetic and took care of the issue immediately. We were impressed with her caring and professionalism. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathroom consisted of the tub/shower and the toilet. It is a tight squeeze to get into the bathroom and around the small door to close it. The bathroom door itself begged to be scrubbed. The open lavatory and a small open clothes rod constituted the rest of the "bathroom" area. There was one small towel bar on the wall by the sink next to the toilet/shower room. The light switch for the privacy bathroom is under the towel rack, so you have to move the towel to get to the switch. I shared this room with a friend; friends though we be, I prefer to be touching only my own damp towel or washcloth. There was no other space to hang towels or wash clothes.

Room reeked of smoke. Dirty. Old soap left in tub. No A/C or heater. 1/2 of the lamps had no bulbs the rug needed vacuuming

Although I did not book this hotel and I understand why it was chosen (price), unless you are fresh out of college or trying to save, not worth it, stay away from this hotel. It looks like it has never been updated since the 80’s. No elevator to take bags up to second floor which was fine for me, but for the ladies or elder folk traveling alone, not very good. If was hot and musty. Smelled like a nursing home and everything was retro fixed instead of being properly maintained. The room was standard and was really hot as the heater was set to 80 F. I tried to turn on the AC to get it down to 70 and it just shut off. Obviously, to save on electricity, but not convenient for the guests. The tub faucet was running and I had to close it with more than normal force. The bed sheets were scratchy and the bed was meh. Breakfast was cereal, bread for toast and waffles. The advertising said hot breakfast. Ok, not so much. Again, it was only $62/night which should have been the first clue. I am curious as to why the Franchisor, Wyndham, hasn’t made them update the facility. Maybe the FA is weak in that area I don’t know, but this is a specific instance where one location can help to diminish the rest through a simple visit. With all that being said, I will never be back to this site and probably will never book at a Days Inn again which is unfair to the franchisees that actually do a great job. Shame on Wyndham for not keeping its locations up to date and I can almost guarantee that it is not up to code somewhere. I am thankful that I only had to stay one night. Oh, by the way, if you get in earlier than you planned, find something to do b/c they won’t let you check in early unless you put up a stink and then they will only let you in an hour earlier than check in time. Mind you the hotel is dead. As the famous Gomer Pyle once said, “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise”. Ugh.
