Days Inn Pocomoke City Hotel - Page 2

It was a wonderful stay!

This hotel was awesome. The owners were very nice. The pool was clean. The breakfast possibilities were endless.

Don't be deceived by their expensive rates (we paid $120/night), this is one rat hole that shouldn't even be in business.

I'll sum up the reason they sell out and can charge so much: Location. We only stayed because it was the last room available at any hotel in the area. Do not stay here; it's totally worth it to go up the road 30 miles. This place is out of the question; you'd have to see it to believe it. Here are the top five problems we encountered:

1. A cockroach in the sheets of one of the beds (We called the front desk to request they change the linens or bring us a cot. The manager did not apologize and said that if we wanted a cot, we'd have to come get it and that it would be an extra $10 charge! Then she said she couldn't get us a cot because it was somewhere in the back of a maintenance closet and that if we wanted new linens, we'd have to come get them. She finally put me on hold, then said her Uncle could bring us linens, or we could check out. Too bad we had nowhere else to go because we were dying to get out of that room).

2. Black hairs on the pillow of the other bed (we had to sleep with the scratchy room towels over our pillows because we weren't sure if the pillow cases were clean).

3. Debris and dirt all over carpet, definitely not vacuumed (we had to wear shoes at all times inside the room).

4. A hole in the window's screen surrounded by huge spiders and bugs (since we couldn't open the window for ventilation without letting more bugs in, we ended up with headaches from the lack of fresh air and heavy cigarette smell. There were no non-smoking rooms available.

5. We couldn't sleep in the morning because of all the flies in the room (one of us woke up to a fly on our nose, and several more flying around and landing on the beds.)

There was dirt on the walls, cobwebs along the floor boards, the room's clock was set incorrectly, an hour off, no pen in the drawer, only a broken pencil, etc, etc. Basically, they do nothing to ensure a clean, comfortable stay because they know the location alone will always bring them business.

It seems this place is a family-owned franchise so it does not meet corporate standards. They may as well have transplanted it here from a third world country, literally, even the water smells. We opted out of the free breakfast because their standards were so low, we were concerned about how the food is prepared. When we went out to eat in Chincoteague and told our waitress where we stayed, she covered her mouth and said, "Oh no! Tell me you didn't stay at the Pocomoke Days Inn!" This place is infamous; don't be their next victim, unless you like being ripped off and sleeping with bugs and filth.

My family and I stayed here the weekend of the 4th of July on June 30-July 1, 2006. There are only 3 hotels in this town and all other ones was booked for the weekend. We have 2 rooms and both was very nasty. There were spider webs on the AC and the floors were really nasty. The bathroom were even more nasty. We had to go to the store and buy cleaning supplies to clean the bathroom before we could use it. We stopped at the front desk to express our concerns, but were told that we would get 10% off both room and they would ensure that both room get thoughly cleaned. To our dismay, returning back to our room last Saturday night, we assumed that the rooms would be cleaner than we left it. The only cleaning that was done, (and we are not really sure about that) was the lining was changed on the bed. Believe me, this hotel is nasty. If you just want somewhere to lie your head and not concerned about the cleanest of the room, you can stay here. Just nasty.

The hotel did not appear very nice from the outside. The landscaping was severely neglected. The room furnishings were outdated and it had a very 'dirty' feel to it. There was corrosion on the bathroom fixtures. It's not a very nice place and not very economical. There were stains on the furniture. The bedding seemed 'unclean.'

There was little hot water, the room was musty, and the bed was uncomfortable.

Days Inn Pocomoke City was as expected. That is good.

This Days Inn was absolutely horrible! it stunk horribly. The pipes were rusted so that when you showered this most wretched smell came from the pipes. Also, the water even smelled. We could not get the stench out of our room. The bathroom was disgusting.
