Plenty of hot water and the beds were nice. Rooms were very clean. The room was chilly but it's July. Best part was the breakfast. It was INCREDIBLE. Great waffles, apple juice, sausage, and Lemon poppyseed scones. Would definitely stay here again.

I made the mistake of staying at this hotel on a business trip. The front desk staff is very nice,…read morebut that's where the positive points of this hotel end. When I was getting ready to go to sleep, I discovered a huge hole in the wall underneath the bathroom sink (photo attached.)It appeared to be located where the drain used to be, so there is a strong possibility that sewer gases (and who knows what else ) are escaping from this hole. Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well thinking about what could crawl in through that hole. The next morning, I was going to take a shower and then go downstairs to ask to switch rooms. It was then that I noticed that instead of replacing the bathtubs, they tried (unsuccessfully) to coat it with some kind of material which is peeling off in several places. I went down to the front desk to try to switch rooms and was told that the same situation with the hole in the wall and peeling bathtub exists in several rooms. They offered to discount my room, but that really wasn't what I was looking for...... what I wanted was a functional room with no holes in the walls and a decent place to bathe. I thanked them for their help and told them that they probably needed to fire whatever contractor they used to do the work. Luckily, I was able to move across the street to the Holiday Inn Express who very graciously gave me an early check-in.

Great location...would definitely recommend visiting Dollys Diner just steps away from the motel.

My wife and I got the pet free room due to allergies and when we arrived the manager/owner was very nice and even recommended a good breakfast place (dollys diner) which was very tasty but that's another review. The beds each had 2 pillows and clean bedclothes. Bathroom was clean and well stocked. Overall I was quite surprised. We had a good rest and felt like it was great for the price. I will stay here again as I go through Princeton and have no qualms telling others to do so as well.

We had requested a king suite and got a king handicap room by ice machine. The window coverings do not keep the light out very well. TV set up took over an hour because it was so old. One overhead light was inadequate. No electric plug at desk. ADA issue in a handicap room. Mold in shower with no incredably poor caulk job. Bath sink has no faucet aireator so it splashes all over. Coffee maker had a pod in it from the last tenant & only one cup. Poor insulation. Noisy all night from sides and above. Big label on toilet service line was not removed by maintenance. Door locks are butchered. Totally unacceptable shower water temperature. Only one key rather than two provided. Breakfast was good. I asked who owned the hotel at check out. Told an LLC did. I asked if it was foreign owned. They said no it was a Dr. I asked if he was foreign. I was told yes. Somethings never change.

This place needs some serious maintenance work!! The first room they gave me had no quarter round on the door casing and you could see INTO THE ROOM from the hallway with the door closed. I immediately asked for another room. They offered to put more of the foam weather stripping around to block the view?? . Foam does not make a room safe.!! The second room they gave me was safer. But the shower rod was severely drooping and hanging out of the wall, the shower handle kept doing 360's all the way around And had a screw hanging out of the bottom of it, there was a hole in the tub, whatever type of glue they put up the shampoo, conditioner, body wash bottles with was dripping all over the tub , and the bed squeaked like Grandma's old trundle bed. I did not sleep well because I did not feel safe. This hotel is on my never again list.

The room was set at 60' on this cold winter weekend. They do not lock all entrances so doors not secure. TV remote stopped working, got a new one, it didn't work either. The toilet paper holder was not affixed, and was coming out of the drywall. The refrigerator made loud noises all night. The pillows were little and were like bags of chunky foam, and pillowcases did not look laundered. Good points, staff were polite and helpful, the heat heated the 60' room quickly, bathroom was clean, and of course, it was cheap. Won't be staying there again. Private owner needs to pay attention to this place or it will fall apart quickly.

During my time in Princeton, West Virginia, I spent three nights here at this Days Inn hotel. It…read morewas arguably the cheaper ones in the area without having to be outside of the city of Princeton, West Virginia. And so that was that. Days Inn is a brand that commands budget friendly as well as being the type of hotel that gives you basic comfort and a reasonable price. It gave us that and so much more. It was safe and definitely felt comfortable enough to wear. It was just a home away from home. The fact that the beds were comfortable were very good and definitely a place for me to relax and enjoy my vacation time here in Princeton. I found this hotel on Hotels.com with a nice discounted rate. I bought this hotel for three nights in November 2025. Upon arrival, I checked into the lobby at around 9 PM and the process was pretty good. Don't need issues that I have with my stay was the fact that sometimes the hotel room he would time out a few times and I had to go to the lobby to get the key re-energized. I did not have it near my phone, but somehow the key wouldn't open the hotel room door where it needs to. The frustrating part was that they put me on the second floor and at the lobby was on the first floor, so I had to climb stairs every time I had to get the key re-energized. Other than that, it was a pleasant day for the most part. I feel like the hotel property is a previously converted apartment building. Lots of budget friendly hotel brands typically are converted apartment buildings or structures. This property in Princeton West Virginia seems like this there's no difference. I was on the second floor and while it was nice, going up and down the stairs, unnecessarily to be a slight annoyance. Too bad they did not have elevators. That would have been better. Truth be told that this hotel was good because of the price and the location for me. While the amenities were basic, and I didn't know if there was a pool on site, they had OK Wi-Fi, and the breakfast options were very nonexistent. The overall experience here at this hotel in Princeton, West Virginia was fairly good and comfortable. The price is per night were on point and very budget friendly for me. I found this hotel through Hotels.com and decided to book for three nights in November 2025. The hotel check-in process was early decent and fast and the times that I had to pre-energize the hotel room key, the hotel staff at the front desk did not ask to see ID or whatever, he just knew that I was staying there because he already checked me in the previous night, which is pretty cool. This Days Inn hotel is very typical and not luxurious. The room itself had 2 queen beds and wasn't that large but could support 2-3 people at any given time. The room itself was clean, although there wasn't any good outlets in my unit except for the one next to the bathroom. Had to try all the outlets before finding a good one to charge my phone and accessories. And so, if you need a place to stay for cheap and in the Princeton, West Virginia area, or even passing through, consider coming to stay at the Days Inn property. The only amenity that I used during my stay besides the WiFi was the ice machine, if you can call it an amenity. This Days Inn hotel is branded by the Wyndham hotels group. They're known worldwide for their excellent comfort and stays. I particularly enjoyed the bed because they provided some comfortable beds and got in decent amount of sleep during my stay here and not be deprived of it. This Days Inn hotel is located at 150 Meadowlane Drive in Princeton, West Virginia. Like many hotels in the industry, they accept room bookings directly thru their website or thru 3rd party bookings. I happen to book thru a 3rd party and it went well. The only disappointment was the breakfast option. Whether I slept in or the quality of the breakfast wasn't there, I didn't care for it and looked elsewhere for something to eat. As far as parking goes, best bet would be to have your own personal vehicle or rent one for convenience. If you are like me, you can get here thru Amtrak, greyhound bus, and the regional Princeton / Bluefield public transportation system. And if you have it available to you, there's always uber and lyft to get you here from the airport, although the distance from the nearest commercial airport is long (CLT) or (CRW) that come to mind. Whether whether you're here on business or pleasure or simply passing thru, consider the Days Inn hotel. It's comfortable and budget friendly. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! B

As a women if i would have been alone and someone came into my room i would have lost my mind screaming. I got an apology but not much else really. I couldn't sleep all night because I thought they might come back, so every sound woke me up again and again. This maintenance person also tried the door next to us and got a similar reaction. They screamed at them to get out and go away. Very unsettling and scary. Staff basically said oh that happens sometimes. I don't think I'll be staying here again.

MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH BED BUGS…read more I wanted to participate in an event at Concord University in Athens, West Virginia, the evening of Wednesday, February 24th. Since I knew I wouldn't be done until after 9:00 pm, and I didn't want to drive two hours home to Charleston, West Virginia, I thought I would just stay at a hotel in Princeton, West Virginia, which is only about eight miles south of Athens. I could have stayed in a nicer, more modern hotel, but I decided to stay at Budget Inn and save a few bucks. So I made my reservation online. Upon checking in at about 4:00 pm, the very nice gentleman told me that if I ever wanted to stay there in the future, it would be best to call the hotel, and he would give me a better rate than having to reserve a room online. I was given room 111. The room was rather poor, with a very musty smell of the sort one might expect in a motel that has seen better days. Towels left by the previous occupant were still hanging on the shower rod. But the TV and AC/heat were okay, and the Wifi was pretty fast, and since I'm not a high maintenance sort of guy, I thought it would do for $66 including tax. After getting back to the motel after the event at Concord University, I started settling in for the night, but I decided (just to be safe) to check the bed for bed bugs, and when I pulled the comforter off the bed, I found a bed bug, a little appleseed-sized critter scurrying away, which I dutifully crushed between my thumb and forefinger. It was just ONE bed bug, but like roaches, if you see one, you know that there are more nearby. The very last thing I need in my life is a bed bug infestation at home, so I packed my things and turned in my key at the front desk, telling the manager what I had seen. Then I drove the two hours back home to Charleston, West Virginia. As soon as I got home, I threw all the clothes I had taken with me into the washer, sprayed bug spray into my luggage and took a shower. Maybe it was overkill, but I just can't deal with bed bugs on top of COVID-19. The whole experience was tremendously dismaying. Next time I'll pay more for nicer digs.
