Lehi, Utah - Avoid Like the Plague!
Lehi, Ut. Great location, right down the street from the famed Lehi Roller Mills (original Footloose). However, I stayed for 2 days over the weekend. Contrary to their website's information, their pool and spa was completely closed. I found out after first night that there would be no housekeeping on the weekend. There was one tiny wastebacket for the entire room. One. None in the bathroom, none near the beds, none by the desk, and no housekeeping. Blankets and bedspreads thin as sheets, nearly froze (late Mar). Was never greeted and we were in and out a lot. Supposedly non-smoking, but cigarette smoke blew us away on the elevator on day one, and the entire 3rd floor was drenched in it. The smoke didn't go away until day 2. I woke in the middle of the night (I'm allergic to it) with a really sore throat and a severe headache. So even though I couldn't smell it in my room, it permeated the hallway, and it got through the vents. Not a non-smoking hotel. Final blow was when I requested a late checkout on Monday morning. They weren't even at half capacity, but it was denied. When I challenged the denial, Max, the 'manager', admitted that they weren't full but said that they used a 'formula' to determine if a late checkout was available. It was not. I called corporate, they called Max, and Max hung up on corporate! Horrible, horrible manager. I filed a complaint with corporate and he sends me an apology email, blaming me for not requesting the late checkout sooner during my stay. WTH? Why would that matter? When I approached him to pick up a key, he sat on the phone for five minutes, refused to even acknowledge me and my toddler, waiting patiently, while he chatted away. Max is a discredit to Days Inn. He doesn't belong near people, let alone pretending to 'serve' them. Avoid this hotel like the plague. A dump, dishonest, disingenuine, and managed horribly by Max.
