Days Inn by Wyndham Fordyce — Hotel in Fordyce

Traveling with government business. And booked a room on the road to make sure it was reserved when arrived after traveling 14 hours. To only get treated like we were stupid even though you could not understand what was being said or explained. Manager even was argumentative when told we was just gonna cancel and was told we couldn't cancel. I asked Why because I was told we could cancel within 24 hrs and it wasn't even 12 hours. Something about where i was a reward member( whats that got anything to do with my reservation, just in case Im missing something here someone please enlighten me) Something about an extra charge. Why would there be an extra charge if cancelled before the 24 hr time frame? People are always being placed on the back rooms. The rooms need to be updated. Co worker remote did not work. Manager finally came to try and fix and stated that the thing on TV was not a camera that they get accused of which would been red flag to me. Stated children will be in rooms and they hook up play stations and not re hook cords back up. That's where housekeeping needs to be making sure each room after customers are staying need to be properly hooked back up if not at least checked. There needs to be the same stuff in each room, some rooms have blankets and others probably don't so that tells me the beds are not fully stripped and all are made the same. I think more people are living in the rooms instead of short stays. Alot of outside noises. The work out equipment needs to be somewhere else besides in lobby. Weird. The breakfast needs more variety and accessibilty of things. The dispenser for juices needs to have juices that aren't watered down. After reading so many reviews from others but you want to give benefit of the doubt and knowing that was their experience and each person have different experiences but it seems to be a pattern there and they seem to just not care or want to do better. Lets just say this will be the last time our government workers will be staying there even though it was very close to our destination but we will be traveling to Camden Ark to stay in a well maintained area and more professional and understanding staff or drive over an hour out of the way to stay in better place. Need to do better Days Inn!! I'm surprised it hasn't been shut down by now. But to each is own with their experiences...

I wish to begin this review with a positive comment: The Staff at this location was friendly and enjoyable to deal with.

The exterior of this hotel was welcoming and slightly misleading (we'll discuss that shortly).

The breakfast buffet included: Scrambled eggs, sausage (links cut up), biscuits and gravy and make your own waffle). They had "hostess" style donuts and cold cereal.

The room we stayed in was defined as an "exterior" room. I can not advise as to the condition of the "interior" rooms.

Upon entering the room, the only thing that resembled updates were the bed coverings. They were new and clean. The room had three (3) chairs and all three were so badly stained (see pic below) we placed towels on them prior to use. The show head, tub spout and shower curtain (see pics below) were in need of proper repair/installation.

I understand each location is independently owned and operated. I sincerely hope the owner makes an effort to update and improve this hotel. We are making an investment in Fordyce and plan to bring family, friends and business associates to this area.

UPDATED 01-06-2020: In December 2019 I made a second visit to this Days Inn and found ALL of our original concerns were addressed/corrected by the Management. It is truly refreshing to know that these reviews work, and the Management from Days Inn in Fordyce value their Customer base to provide a clean, safe and well maintained accommodations. I look forward to our next stay, and highly recommend the Fordyce Days Inn for your next travel...

The new management is TERRIBLY rude. The owner, I’m guessing it was, yelled at my mom because she simply asked him about a pet charge on her bill. Instead of talking and responding like an adult, he yelled that he was not told about the dog when he actually was told about the dog the day before about the dog staying only one night instead of 2. Next thing, check out is at noon, but at 10 o’clock the same guy was going up and down the row of rooms banging on the doors trying to get people up & to get out. We were already up and back and forth packing our car because we’d already planned to leave, but it was still incredibly rude and just unbelievable to see him standing next to our door with his “cleaning” supplies waiting for us to step out so he could come it. He actually woke up the lady next to us and when she finally got to the door to answer he was already gone and she was pissed! The breakfast is just a bunch of stale items that should have been trashed ages ago. The rooms are dirty and you can tell they take lots of shortcuts with the cleaning. And when we told the owner guy that we would be leaving a bad review, his response was, “So what? One bad review won’t close us down.” Okay you wait and see how many it does take! I would steer clear of this MOTEL and drive the 30 minutes on into...
