Horrible hotel
I am writing today to let everyone know to STAY AWAY from the Days Inn San Diego near Sea World. It had to be the WORST hotel we have EVER, and may I emphasis EVER, stayed at! After we had checked in and got our room key we went to ouI am writing today to let everyone know to STAY AWAY from the Days Inn San Diego near Sea World. It had to be the WORST hotel we have EVER, and may I emphasis EVER, stayed at! After we had checked in and got our room key we went to our room, arms loaded with our luggage, and found that the clerk had given us the wrong room. She was friendly though and gave us the right room. As we walked inot the room there was a terrible order. It seemed as though the room had never been cleaned. But it looked ok and so we stayed. later that evening as we were preparing for bed I took my socks off and of course they were black. which was grose but have had that problem before in a hotel. As I went to turn on the light near the bed a horrible order came from the carpert near the bed. Everytime I turned over in the night I'd smell that horrible smell. I have no ideas what it was. 2 days after we checked in the toilet broke and we had to manuel flush the toilet until tghey came to fix it. which was later that day. The very next morning the light over the sink, which is where you have to do your hair, burnt out. So we called the front office and they sent a repair man to replace it a half hour later. Which irritated me because we were trying to get out of the hotel to go to Sea World. But that ewasn't the worst thing. The very next morning, 3 days after we checked in we went to get in the shower to get ready for the day and there was NO HOT WATER!! We contacted the front desk and they informed us that the boiler had gone out and there was no hot water. They told us that they had some rooms available across the steet that we could go shower in. So we had to load up all our personal products and trapes across the street to shower. Let me tell you it was a big hassle. When we returned that evening from our daily activities there still was no hot water. The front desk told us it wasn't fixed yet but should be in the morning. Which of course it wasn't so once again we had to load all our personal stuff up and trapes across the street to shower but this day it was raining so that made it ever worse. By this time I had had it with this dump and began to look around the area for another hotel. There was hardly any rooms available and the ones that were available were very expensive. So I couldn't afford to change hotels. Which really made me livid. We asked them if they would move us into two rooms across the street, with hot water, that had ajoining doors but they said they couldn't do that. Much later that evening the water was finally fixed and we were able to have a warm shower that next day. But when I showered the following day there STILL was no hot water. I refused to pay full price for that hotel and told the front desk that I wanted a discount for the inconvience teir hotel caused me. They told me that they could give me a 25% discount of two of the days. Which was only a measly $30. I refused that offer and told them I wanted the suite room for the cost of a regular room. The clerk said she'd have to talk to the manager. After some wheeling and dealing they finally agreed to my offer. Which saved me much more that their first offer but even that wasn't worth the problems we endured at the HORRIBLE hotel. I would NEVER, EVER, EVER stay at the Days inn near Sea World again. Even the terrible area it is located in doesn't compare to how rotten that dive of a hotel is. Bums everywhere, nude bars on every corner, and panhandlers on every street don't even come close to explaining what a scummy place this hotel is. Day's Inn should net even want their name associated with this hotel. I would be embarrased to say this hotel was in my chain of hotels. It's a good thing I've stayed at Day's Inn before because if this was my first time it would have definatly been my last! r room, arms loaded with our luggage, and found that the clerk had given us the wrong room.
