Some Days (Inns) Are Diamonds, Some Are Stones

Where: 5068 Centre Street, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada, L2G 3N9

[ED. Note: One of our tipsters, Lindsay, decided to take a chance on the Days Inn Niagara Falls,, booking the room through Travelocity. Figuring it was a national chain, she thought her stay should be trouble-free. She was wrong. Here's her side of the story. Enjoy.]

First of all we are told this is a large king room with a desk and fridge. Well it was a king bed but the bedroom was more like a closet and the bathroom was so small the sink had to be in the bedroom. We are also told they have full cable television and high speed internet, we got about 10 channels, most of which were out by the time we wanted to watch tv (1 am or so) and the internet was wireless with a much slower than dial-up random wireless unsecured connection.

When we arrived we noticed a really loud dripping (heard over the tv and talking) but assumed it would stop when the rain did. Well around 2am when I wanted to go to sleep it was still dripping, tried to tough it out, but it was seriously so loud and I had the tv cranked. That is not okay, for a person not to be able to sleep in a hotel room, they have paid so much for. We contacted the front desk, who sent up security to confirm the drip and that it was coming from the floor above us. Thus, they could do nothing to fix it and had no empty rooms. They offered us $20 off our stay. Obviously we did not accept. We were told the manager would be in at 10am the next morning.
