Days Inn by Wyndham Willmar 225 28th Street Southeast, Willmar, MN 56201

"I paid for and reserved a room online during a winter storm because I was unable to make the 45 minute drive home. I got to the help desk, and the guy told me that I can't have my room because the town I live in is too close to the town the hotel is in. I asked him where it says that, and he pulled up a website and showed me that it says that they don't allow "local" customers to use the hotel. Nothing stated any distance from the hotel that was considered "local," but he literally told me that I will just have to, "sleep in my car or something." I am very disappointed, and I will never recommend this hotel to anyone."

"Hotel super clean , bed comfy & friendly staff ! I definitely enjoyed my stay Ps. Can’t believe some of the bad reviews ! I stayed here from March till November & I never had any problems with management/staff . They were very respectful and kind"

"The most disgusting nasty hotel with the rudest management I’ve ever saw in my life. Has no care about hospitality besides stealing money from people. Watch your rooms and your belongings! I wouldn’t trust anyone here. Charged over $325 in deposits for ONE NIGHT. Said there was a “smell” in the room but there’s no smell besides the nasty mold mildew smell from the hotel it’s self."

"Upon arrival to the property. Looks nothing like pictures online. No greeting by front desk person (it was 2am) directed generally to our room. The smell from the hallway permeated into the room chemical/curry kind of smell (I love curry- but in a kitchen or restaurant not my hotel room I just PAID for. Complaints: 1) Disgusting floors with debris including fingernail clippings and God knows what else along the entire edges of the floor 2) dents scuffs, holes, cracks, marks, stains all over walls and doors 3) no sink drain 4) rusted out hairdryer- did not work 5)all lampshades cracked, torn, stained, 6) multi plug wall unit is barely hanging into wall and switch toggle is shorting out 7) fire sprinkler completely rusted 8) key cards not working for room door AND outside entrance. 9) spots all over mirror 10) 1/4 inch dust on lamp bracket in between the beds 11) toilet seat slips almost off toilet 12) toilet base loose and rocks 13) headboard broken-put my hand on edge it fell down I scratched my arm and hand 14)window opens but doesn’t lock 15) all furniture is mix match, scuffed, edges broken off 16) hairdryer rusted and not working. 17) heating/fan unit was also very dirty and the vents were smeared with grease or something 18) towels beige and crunchy-check out the pic I was going to let these things slide and write a bad review. But on day 2 I went to desk to get a working hairdryer from the gentleman whom later refused to give me his name or title (any “staff” I saw were also not wearing uniforms or name tags.) and after waiting for him to write down my room number I was like just forget it- it’s not worth it now. I am frustrated, I get to my room and the key doesn’t work again so now I have to go back down to desk and I angrily told him that so many things were wrong and I can’t even get into my room. SO, he tells ME that everything works (the tv, microwave, refrigerator he said specifically) and that he was checking me out and I could just leave. WHAT ?? He said he didn’t like my attitude. So he checks me out! At that point I’m thinking now anything’s better than this. So Because the keys don’t work, he has to walk behind me to the room all the whole yelling “drugs drugs, you do drugs!”Again, WHAT? Then he’s yelling at me to keep my distance and sees the ice bucket on the floor and yells “DAMAGES DAMAGES!! I then get into the room, turn around and put the chain on bc he’s still out there yelling at me. He yells why did you put chain on? You’re a squatter and never leaving” he yells again “ I’m calling the police!”. Which HE DID, by that time I’m packed, and leaving. The kicker is he’s actually charging me for damages!!! ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE"

"Horrible experience at a hotel. The rooms were old and outdated. There was dust bunnies all over the floor. The rooms carpet was damp. The room smelled of wet dog and dirty socks. There was smears of something brown on the walls in the bathroom. The beds were horribly uncomfortable. It was hard to sleep because it smelled awful. I am shocked I didn’t find bed bugs or roaches in the room. When packing up a woman knocked on the door. I said we were hurrying since we had 11 mins left before check out. She made an incoherent sound and signaled with her hands in a circular fashion. Which made me feel like I was garbage. I would recommend for people to stay in their car than stay in this awful hotel. I paid 140.00 and that was a completely waste of money. I am hopeful that I can save another person from making a mistake and staying at this hotel with my review."
