Our annual December trip to see Santa and Shamu was changed up a bit this year by staying at this Days Inn for 4 nights the first part of December. It had good and bad.
The check-in process was a little slow but they were polite and apologetic for the delays. They also apologized for the tree not being fully decorated but it smelled wonderful in the lobby. Rec'd an upper level floor towards the back of the property as requested.
The room is nothing spectacular. Two beds, tv, mini-fridge and a micro, your standard things. The odd thing that I didn't like was the bathroom. It was small but what was worse was the towel rack was in the tub enclosure opposite the shower head. While things didn't get wet it is just awkward showering with that in there. Outside of the enclosure there were plenty of spaces where this would have seemed to have make more sense but I am not a room designer so maybe it holds some purpose.
The pool area is all the way at the back of the property so you don't hear any noise from screaming kids. PLUS!! It is surrounded by trees and even though you can hear the cars whizzing by behind them as long as you don't envision them crashing through the trees you will find yourself relaxing. The hot tub was a nice distance from the pool so that it offered privacy but yet enough of a view to still see your kids swimming. A bathroom complete with changing area and rinse off area proved beneficial in the slightly chilly December weather. Pool area was clean and well maintained.
The laundry room is huge! Yes, I am one of those stange ones who does laundry on trips. I just can't stand to come home with dirty clothes. Nice comfortable chairs and lots of space to fold. There is a tv in the room so you can watch while you wait.
The PamPam Grill was sufficient. A little pricey but equal in price to the quality and quantity of food.
Overall, a pleasent stay. Extra touches of pool towels in the room and the staff arranging the kids stuffed animals after makind the bed were very appreciated.
