Days Inn Wrightstown

This hotel was my worst experience we arrived for Memorial Day weekend which was also my sons 7^th birthday. I’ve stayed at different hotels around the area before without pools but I decided to go with this one because my son loves getting in the pool and since it was his birthday I was like ok it looks pretty nice. Yeah it looks nice online but totally different once you get there. Mind you I did not bother to look at Unilocal reviews before booking which I should have done. When I arrived I asked at the counter what time the pool closed and the employee told me oh the pool is not opened it had an inconvenience and it is out of service. WHAT!!! I paid extra $$$ for a pool and it’s not available? No one contacted me or anything to let me know. I feel like the manager should of contacted me to let me know especially since it was memorial day weekend. We then went into our room and it smelled disgusting. It smelled like old and dirty. The bed smelled horrible and the sheets smelled old. The bathroom extractor didn’t work, and had a bunch of dust in it. I would not recommend this inn at all. Disgusting!!!

So let me start off by saying that this is not my account. I am OP’s boyfriend. I am not the type of person to take the time out of my day to go onto the Internet and write a review about the hotel that I stayed at. The staff was great. Very friendly and personable. No issues at all with being treated nicely. Unfortunately the rooms is where the two star rating comes into play. The first room that we were given was all right up until the point where the toilet broke. Specifically the chain in the tank came undone and I was unable to fix it myself as the counter for the sink just happen to cover the top of the tank making it an extremely awkward angle to get my hands inside. I eventually gave up and told the gentleman at the front counter about the issue and with very little dispute he said he would be up there in 5 to 10 minutes to fix it. We had left for the day and when I came back it was fixed but unfortunately it didn’t take long for it to break again. We told him the next day and he offered to give us a new room at no extra cost. That was nice. Unfortunately the new room had more problems than the previous one. We are pretty sure that over half of the outlets in the room did not function. At first I thought it was just the lights but when we tried to plug our phones into the outlets they were not working. My girlfriend had mentioned that the floors felt grimy and as a joke I laid on the floor to see for myself, but was taken by surprise when I got up and I actually felt sticky and had to go clean my hands because they felt so disgusting. Like they actually started sticking. I used to work in the housekeeping and I’m pretty sure the floor has never been cleaned. Now the worst part. The ants. There was a lot of them. They seem to have found their way onto the tea and coffee packets. One of them was open which we thought may have been the source of the problem. We killed what seemed like three or five ants and thought that that would be the end of it. But when we got up the next day there was almost double the amount and there was no open packets so we were a little bit confused. My girlfriend drowned the ants and wrote a note about how we had ants and let them sit they dead as proof. Picture attached. Also, the Wi-​Fi is terrible. Constantly dropping and constantly fluctuating. Extremely frustrating. Ended up just using my data. We have not concluded our stay here yet, but I felt that the issues we were facing warranted writing the review before we even finished our stay.

Do not bring your girl here. She willforever hate you because the bathroom is a NIGHTMARE.
I came here on company orders.
Place is a dump. You need a hazmat suit to stay in these rooms:
1) non-​smoking room smelled like smoke; strong odor;
2) Some of the rooms were located in dimly lit areas, appeared unsafe to check in at night or leave room at night;
3) Rooms are dirty, dingy. Carpet is dirty, dusty; smells bad; Furniture is dirty.
4) Bedspread is dirty; smells bad;
5) old tv
6) bathroom is a nightmare. I did not shower. I was scared I’d get sick.
7) I slept in long sleeves, pajamas, socks, hat.
Overall I would not go back unless my entire body was wrapped in saran wrap… or I had a hazmat suit… or both. Definitely DO NOT bring a girl here.
It was a company thing but id rather sleep in my car or pay for my own hotel elsewhere

I booked this hotel for two nights in late July 2015. Before I go on about the negative, the only positive thing I have to say about this hotel is that the staff was very pleasant, polite and helpful.
First I booked a non-​smoking room and then received a smoking room. I tried to change this but was told the entire hotel was booked for the weekend so I had to deal with this which disgusted me. For someone who isn’t a smoker or has kids this was a total disappointment.
Next the bathroom door was completely hanging of the hinges. There was no way to close the bathroom door at all. It stayed propped open as each person used it. When trying to shower there were black hairs along the shower wall and not just one. The next day I noticed ants in the bathroom. All in all this was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at and I wished I had looked at the Unilocal reviews before booking.

My family and I stayed here because it was the least expensive hotel in the area. You get what you pay for. The hotel itself is outdated, but the technology has definitely been updated. New flat screen TVs with direct TV, fridge/​microwave/​coffeemaker combo in each room, and REALLY strong wifi. My sister found a couple flies in the bathroom, but they could have flown in while we had the door open. Giving them the benefit of the doubt here. The continental breakfast was good. Unfortunately, one of the two waffle makers was out of order, so the wait was extremely long. The wait was worth it in the end because the waffles tasted so good. The attendant was constantly filling empty ingredients, and was kind, polite, and attentive when asked questions. I wish she would have wiped the tables down though. The clientele here is subpar, but that’s because of how inexpensive this place is to stay. Again, you get what you pay for.

The reviews I read here are so different from my own experience that I have to wonder if this place is under new management or what.
Anyhow I’m a union organizer so I stay at a lot of cheap motels, mostly Red Roofs, and the quality differs greatly. I got a smoking room, but unlike most smoking rooms at cheap motels, or even some at better quality hotels, it didn’t smell of stale smoke. Now a non-​smoker may have been able to detect it, but to me it smelled like a non-​smoking room. When it comes to cheap motels that’s a good sign they’re doing things right. Fridge was cold and in working order. Nothing falling apart, only real complaint was the shower, which was fine for heat and water pressure but the curtain was a bit off so you couldn’t close it 100%, but that was okay cause it’s not like water got everywhere.
The rooms at the Quality Inn down the road are bigger and a bit nicer, but that’s more than offset by the Wifi internet quality. I mentioned this to the manager who said he was glad to hear that because he’d recently upgraded so he’d have the best Wifi in the area. Also Dunkin Donuts right next door which is awesome in the morning– yeah they got the free breakfast at the hotel, but I didn’t even check it out, just walked a few steps to DD for a bagel and coffee.
A word about the manager (probably owner too)…younger South Asian guy, probably in his 20s, hungry to grow his business. He was asking me about getting my group to stay there instead of Quality Inn down the street (which some of my crew and team leader were at), and due to the nature of organizing campaigns, I told him it was unlikely such a large group would be down again, but if they sent me back for a contract campaign I’d tell the union to send me here, and that I’d give him a good review on Unilocal and he asked me if I’d also review on TripAdvisor, I said yes, so that’s what I’m doing now.
The reason I mention this stuff about the owner is a young guy hungry to grow his business will do his best to make sure you have a good stay, especially if you’re with a group. If I were a contractor for McGuire AFB/​Ft. Dix, I’d definitely take that into account. Days Inn gets less business than the Quality Inn at the moment looks like (I’m guessing due to some of the stuff mentioned by other reviewers here), but the guy is upping his game to try to attract more business so give the place a look at least.

This is one of those times the rating system should have something less than 1 Star. But I do appreciate the meaning behind the 1 star.
This will be rough but worth the read if you are considering a place to stay when visiting the parks or base.
This is for the ones that just want the final verdict — AVOID!
For those that want to know why, continue reading.
The check-​in and wifi, did work well. After the check-​in process it’s a down hill spiral.
So, a friend, not on Unilocal,picked the site, because of its close proximity to Great Adventure. First, there is a Days Inn that is closer and many other hotels that would have been better, I’m sure. After reading the reviews, I was a little unbiased but hoped for the best.
The room — We walked in and on the floor was little plastic tag holders. You know, the piece of plastic used to hold on the price tags. Yep, 4 on the middle of the floor. I picked them up and placed them on my 1980’s TV. Just getting in after a day at the park, we were hot ans sweaty, so the shower was my next stop. Shower was disgusting. At least 3 long black hairs. One on the shower wal, very visible and two others hanging from the handle, not as visible but nasty. If I were not a real outdoorsy kind of guy, I would have ran out of there screaming. but, I just took pics to share later and took my shower, one eye on the hairs at all times. The one on the wall was missing after my shower. Not sure where that one went. Will haunt me forever…
So, the next morning, I learned that the staff can not read. clearly marked on my door was the hotel supplied door hanger stating what I thought was Do Not disturb. I guess that was for other guest, not the not so good cleaning people. Well, since your here asking if I need towels, waking me from my slumber, take a look at what I found on my floor last night when I checked in. No seriously, take it, not take it. I insist. Reluctantly she took the tags as I began to explain the filthy room she began to take defense, gained her intelligence quickly and apologized. she would return in a few minutes to tell me how sorry she was and that she would personally clean my room when we left for the day.
Well, we were in town for the hottest days on record so ice in the coolers would be a plus. After spending 5 minutes at the dumb machine, same cleaning lady come up to try. This machine was working earlier she said… I was giving her the senior lips by this time. There was no evidence this machine had ever worked. Well, it did not produce any ice for our entire stay. Ice in this small town may be their source of income sine what would have been $ 2 in DC and MD was $ 4 in this town.
On to the continental breakfast — we arrived about 8 am. Not too early or too late. Coffee was out and they were out of forks and knives. So, my son and I waited for the guy to prepare a knew pot of coffee, which he questioned my ability to determine empty or not. Did you push here? In my mind I was like, dude? you push the button. Did you not here the empty gurgle and slurp from over there? He walked over to push and confirmed my earlier finding. OBTW, I was the 2^nd person to do the push test and confirm and advise. Needless to say, he made the coffee and raced out to get forks I guess. My son and I made our waffles, which were very good BTW, and buttered, syrup-​ed and ate with our hands. Not a problem, I like licking my fingers. We should have sat on the floor. Did I mention he raced out? So, the phone rang… and rang… and rang… new customers walked up. Did he leave no one in charge while he raced out? He returned to a full room. Phone ringing off the hook and I just shook my head like. Was this his 1^st day?
Back to the room after a day at the park. Hair was still in the bathroom, and my coffee packs had not been replenished. Guess here you only get one cup.
So, now, I decide I am going to really start to look at my room.
Smashed flies and moths on the walls were just starting to be noticed.
If we would have been here with girlfriends or wives, we would have been here for 5 minutes tops. this was a fathers and kids trip.
Thanks for keeping it nasty.
They did have a pool, but after seeing how they kept up the rooms, the pool was not an option.

I booked the Days Inn for an Air Force reunioun I was attending and thought that the bad reviews didnt matter since I would only be there for a couple of days and the hotel was 50% cheaper than the one up the street, I was wrong!
I’m rating the hotel 2 Stars for effort; the staff at the front desk were very freindly and the sheets were clean. Unfortunatley very little else seemed clean; the carpets were sticky… yes sticky, the bathrooms had missing sealant all over the place with the subsequent musty/​mildew smell. Towels had seen better days as well as all of the furniture in the room. My first night a small army of drunk GIs partied until the wee hours of the morning in the parking lot… needless to say but it was very loud!
No thank you; I’ll spend the extra $$$ next time and stay elsewhere!

I only booked a room here because it is close to Six Flags and we were too beat to drive all the way to a nicer hotel. This hotel was barely even one star. I booked a 2 Double Bed smoking room for one night.
The Bad:
The floor looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in awhile. There were crumbs and a bunch of stuff I rather not know what it could be. The hair dryer was broken. Now it was three girls including myself in this room. A hair dryer is ESSENTIAL. The continental breakfast was okay. The cereal was stale and the milk was simply poor quality. The coffee tasted burnt. It was just all over gross. The bathroom in the room looked like it was out of a horror movie and the hot and cold indicator on the shower was WAY off. I don’t even think it was supposed to be for this shower. The tv channel list had 8 channels listed on it that weren’t even correct. All the plugs in the wall were coming loose and barely worked. The woman who checked us in was very rude and did not want to answer any questions. When I asked her about the pool, she told me it was down for maintenance. Then when I asked the woman in the morning she told me that it was never down for maintenance and that it opens at 10am. The Days Inn Wi-​Fi was horrible. I kept losing signal and had to sign in and out numerous times.
The Good:
The tv was a big hdtv. The microwave and fridge were newer and clean. The shampoo made my hair silky smooth. Even though we got a smoking room, it definitely did not smell like one. It was quite refreshing. The shower head was amazing and the water pressure was amazing. They had a lot of channels to watch. They have everything for breakfast out at night so I was able to grab some oatmeal and spoons and such.
Overall, this hotel was disgusting and definitely not worth $ 95 a night. It was this tiny little Days Inn. I have been to Days Inn in the past and it was never this bad. I hope no one has a similar experience.

Great place to stay for the homeless, heroin junkies, and the wandering infested. Caught dozens of bed bug bites here while I wasn’t on watch for rapists. Drained pool and standing water in the parking lot provides a breeding ground for thousands of mosquitos. Maid service is good, but can’t make up for the old person smell in the room and the nappy comforter. Come to the Days Inn Wrightstown only when your addiction has forced your suicide plans out of the house.
