First time I have ever felt it was absolutely necessary to check for bedbugs when I have stayed in hundreds of hotels around the planet. The curtain rods were broken. So being at night, I had to leave all the lights off for privacy otherwise you could see right in. The floors were disgusting, hadn’t been mopped in at least weeks. Literally didn’t take my socks off until I was in the bed with my feet hanging off and put them on before standing out of the bed. Paper cups for the coffee machine were filled with mold on the interior - not at that point like I would have made coffee anyway. Who knows what was done with that coffee machine. People coming and going at all hours, noisy and slamming their room doors. My headboard was covered in lubed handprints. If I wasn’t arriving at 1:30am after a ten hour drive, I would have protested but at that point, I wasn’t even sure where to go. Got a minimum of sleep, maybe 3 hours, and high tailed it out of there. If anyone knows the reputation of the Days Inn in Oakland, CA…. This was league’s worse. The staff was pleasant enough, doubt they have much control over what I experienced. This is a management/owner issue. Absolutely do not recommend this hotel. Avoid at all costs.
