I've stayed at this Days Inn before several times--the last time was 2 years ago. So I knew it was a good value with friendly staff and a nice deep pool, conveniently located off I-80 and not too far from Skydive Chicago where I compete in national championships and world records, etc. I was looking forward to returning to the Days Inn for this year's Nationals competition and was DELIGHTFULLY surprised to find that many improvements have been made to the (already adequate) hotel since my last visit. It seems that they have replaced the carpeting so it is pretty much brand new and super clean--wonderful for me since I spend a lot of time stretching on the floor! The towels also seem brand new, fluffy white and soft. The shampoo and conditioner are now a really nice brand. And they have upgraded the TVs and phones in the rooms--my TV was huge and got great HD picture, with tons of channels. The pool, as always, is heated just the right amount and immaculately clean. And the nice night clerk who was there two years ago is not only still there but he remembered me. I could not have been happier with my stay--what a wonderful value! Funny how the motel still looks pretty run down and sketchy from outside, but once you get inside, you realize that you won the lottery--it's rare to find such a clean place with so many amenities for this price. Be aware, however, that the breakfast has quite limited variety for those seeking healthy food. Make a stop at the Wal-Mart right across the highway for food provisions if you're looking for fruit or yogurt or anything like that in the morning. The rooms have fridges and microwaves, so keeping the food you need in your room is no problem. My compliments to the management and staff for all the improvements you've made! See you again next year for sure!!
