Hotel Days Inn Taos (Taos, USA)

No-frills rooms are perfect for those that want somewhere to sleep the night for a very reasonable rate. Guests accommodations are surprisingly spacious and conscientiously cleaned, while big beds are exceptionally comfortable. For those looking to ski, party and then crash the night, this is the perfect spot.

In spite of its budget status, the hotel takes pride in some small details that guests greatly appreciate. Crisp linens, soft towels, lightning-fast Wi-Fi and a good selection of cable channels are among the list of things guests are pleasantly surprised to encounter at such an economical option.

Guests staying at hot times of year are often massively appreciative of the well-maintained air conditioning units that keep them cool throughout the night. Units are old, yet effective without being loud, allowing guests to sleep in a cool environment without jeopardising sleep with noisy fans.

By far and away the most persistent complaint has been leveled at the hotel's owner, who can be extremely ill-mannered and unfriendly. Guests have been left dumbstruck at the atrocious levels of his customer service, with more than one reviewer claiming he can be borderline abusive. Very recent reviews suggest new management are taking over.

Guests are frequently disappointed with the lackluster offerings of a morning. While acknowledging it is a budget hotel, many still feel the meager buffet breakfast spread leaves a lot to be desired, with some guests choosing to forgo the complimentary offerings and dine elsewhere instead.

Paper-thin walls are a frequent issue for light-sleepers who claim the sound insulation is so bad that even quiet conversations in adjacent rooms are annoyingly audible. On occasions where guests are unfortunate enough to be housed next to inconsiderate neighbors, nights can be long and sleepless.
