I will n-e-v-e-r stay at Days Inn in downtown Dover again!!! Two weeks ago, my husband and I decided to plan a trip to Dover Downs for my birthday. I never gambled before, and we both wanted to have a spring getaway. We rented a car, and hunted for a place to stay overnight online. We really wanted to stay... More

"pet room" has a smoke detector hanging off wall, bathroom door barely connected and costs an extra $25 bucks. Rip off. Don't bother if you have pets. Dump. More

My son and I like to go to Dover Downs and usually stay at the hotel there, but because of the holiday weekend they were booked. I searched online and found the Days Inn and booked two rooms for Sunday night. I was delighted that I could get two king bed rooms for the price of one at some of... More

Although typical for a Day's Inn (with USA Today, internet, microwave, fridge, iron and board, in-room so-so coffee, and towels on the small and thin side) this one had beds dressed up a bit like more upscale ones, with extra pillows arranged at an angle over bedspread which was turned down, showing blanket encased in two sheets duvet-style. The room... More

First and most importantly, this hotel was very clean. It also had great extras like free internet, free breakfast, free USA Today, microwave and fridge in the rooms, HBO. These are pretty important things for me when I consider where to stay and the Days Inn checked all the boxes. So why did I say it's not for everyone? To... More

A Wyndham promotion attracted me to this Days Inn, and the price was right. The room was nice but not fancy and included a fridge and microwave. There were some hairs and old soap in the tub and the control for the shower was broken making it difficult to control the temperature and pressure. The doors to the rooms open... More

We stayed for two nights in August 2011 and found this motel clean, comfortable and well-presented. It is located on the main Dupont Highway which bypasses Dover, close to Dover Mall and other stores and restaurants. It's not quite accurate to describe the location as "downtown", as it's at least 20 minutes' walk to the Dover Green Historic District and... More

I made the reservation directly with this Days Inn over the phone and reconfirmed over the phone several days before arriving. During the re-confirm phone call I specifically said we would be arriving late and asked for assurances they would honor our specific room request (2 double beds, non-smoking). The agent said the room would be available. When we arrived... More
