Days Inn by Wyndham Colchester Burlington

Overall the property met our needs for location and price. We read the reviews and knew it hosted community members in need of housing. What we didn't expect was a display of glassware for sale at the check in desk. They appeared to be from a private seller (not connected to Days Inn) and showcased religious and political themes. Regardless of your religious or political beliefs I dont think they should be displayed in a Days Inn National Chain hotel check in desk. Given our nation's current divisiveness, we would think twice about booking again.

The staff was lovely - very kind and accommodating. The room was clean enough, but I didn’t feel comfortable walking around in bare feet. Those are the best things I can say - beyond that, the hotel in the whole was run down, dark and dingy. I arrived late in the evening and the parking lot was pretty dark and felt sketchy.

Needed a place to stay for daughters graduation, Limited availability, reserved nearly a year in advance. Paid dearly for a dirty, smelly, worn out dump. Between the dirty rooms, barking dogs and constant smell from people smoking non stop in the parking lot nothing good to say about the stay except for the friendly staff member when we checked in. Days Inn should be ashamed and embarrassed that their name is on such a dump. Can’t believe the staff actually charged us the rate we paid for such a disgusting place. Shame on them, we should have just slept in our car.

Booked this inn for the eclipse. The Staff was Great and did their best to be accomodating. Having said this, however, the place is a dismal, bare bones dump. Furniture - what little there was - was shabby, the bare floors in the room were sticky, and the hallway carpeting was dirty, and the hot water went out one morning... and the whole place absolutely reeked of cigarette smoke. It's bad enough that it is located directly under the flightpath of the jet airport but it's also being used as a homeless shelter (with all the positive community but highly negative social and environmental aspects therein). This was the worst place we ever stayed in 37 years of travel.... and we were charged $300+ per night.

The staff members were great. They were friendly and helpful; however due to the long term residence there it made the experience unpleasant! Across the hall from from us there was a domestic disturbance with long term residence and above us there was a long term residence that seemed to like to move furniture around and stomp on the floor starting at 7am and continuing past 10pm. We even went to the front desk at 930pm about the noise above us and they stated they knew who they were and they would address the issue! Nothing really changed! In the parking lot there was a lot of smoking and drinking everyday. Not to mention there was construction going on at the hotel which started at 730am right outside our window! I would also like to address the pictures of the rooms on the website did not match what we got! The rooms seem to be out dated!

The pictures they put up are from a time when the hotel was in a better financial situation. The parking lot was filled with old derelict cars, some had no license plates. People were wandering around the parking lot, “hanging out” and “smoking” in cars. There was junk on the outside of the parking lot, abandoned stroller, bike, garbage, etc. There were plants or pictures in some of the windows, signs that people were staying there long term. Some of the curtains had black spots on them that were visible from the outside. Mold? Mildew? There were just so many people walking around in the parking lot smoking or waiting for rides? Or whatever…. It’s my place to say what they were doing. They live there. This is their home and they have every right to walk around the parking lot. The ones who did not belong were, us. It’s like if you went to an apartment complex and tried to stay in a bedroom there. It’s inappropriate to be booking rooms. People are living there. I have known people who have worked in these type of hotels and they do not get the same maintenance as a regular hotel. And clearly this place has not been maintained. The pictures are misleading and they are charging way too much for such a dirty gross place. My heart goes out to the people who live and work there.
