Rock Hill's BEST Kept Secret: Days Inn Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Rock Hill's BEST Kept Secret: Days Inn Review (You WON'T Believe This!) – My Unfiltered Take!
Alright, folks, buckle up. I'm about to spill the tea, the coffee, and maybe even some of the complimentary continental breakfast juice on this gem of a hotel. We're talking about the Days Inn in Rock Hill, South Carolina. And lemme tell ya, it’s a wild ride. And I’m not talking about the rollercoasters at Carowinds… although, after my stay, I could use a good adrenaline rush.
First Impressions (and a Little Ramble)…
Okay, so the first thing you need to know is… where is Rock Hill, even? (Okay, I'm kidding… mostly). But seriously, navigating to this Days Inn was easy peasy, and that's a huge plus after a long drive. The exterior… well, it’s a Days Inn. Functional, not fabulous. Don’t expect a Taj Mahal, folks. But hey, we're here for the inside, right? RIGHT?!
Cleanliness and Safety – The Most Important Stuff (and I'm a Germaphobe!)
This is where the Days Inn really surprised me. Especially given the current realities of the world. They are serious about cleanliness. And I mean serious.
- Hand Sanitizer EVERYWHERE: Seriously, you can't swing a dead cat (metaphorically, of course – I’m an animal lover!) without bumping into a dispenser.
- Rooms Sanitized Between Stays: My room felt, and smelled, clean. I felt safe from the get-go.
- Anti-Viral Cleaning Products: Okay, maybe it's just me, but this is reassuring. I'm happy they are doing the right thing.
- Daily Disinfection in Common Areas: The lobby, the… well, everywhere… was sparkling. This is what I wanted.
- Staff Training in Safety Protocol: The staff seemed genuinely well-versed in the new protocols, and I appreciated their efforts.
- Physical Distancing: I could see this being enforced… to a level.
Accessibility – More Than Just Ramps!
They are getting some things right on the accessibility front, but they could do more. Still…
- Elevator: A lifesaver, obviously!
- Facilities for Disabled Guests: They've got them, but I didn't personally use them, so I can't give a detailed opinion.
- Wheelchair Accessible: Pretty obvious, but important to call out.
Rooms – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (But Mostly Good!)
Now for the heart of the matter… the room itself. Let's break it down, like a real-life detective on the scene…
- Air Conditioning: THANK GOD. Summer in South Carolina is no joke. Plus it's in every room.
- Free Wi-Fi: Okay, vital. And it was fast and reliable. Huge win!
- Wi-Fi in All Rooms: Yeah yeah.
- Desk: A real desk! Good for working (or, you know, pretending to work while watching TV).
- Coffee/Tea Maker: Essential. I needed my caffeine fix ASAP. And the coffee was decent - no complaints, here.
- Mini Bar: Empty (sigh). Well, there's a fridge anyway…
- Refrigerator: Perfect for keeping that six-pack cold.
- Non-smoking rooms: Very much a necessity!
- Daily Housekeeping: It's good to get your room refreshed and clean.
- Satellite/Cable Channels: I was on a binge!
- Blackout Curtains: Hallelujah! Sleeping in!
- Bed: A big, comfy, and quite unexpectedly fluffy bed. I sank right in.
- Bathroom: Clean. Functional. No complaints.
- Toiletries: Some cheap stuff, but it worked.
- Additional Toilet: If you have a family!
- Towels: Clean and fresh.
- Wake-up service: I used the alarm on my phone, but nice to know it's available.
- Alarm Clock: You know, for when you're not using your phone.
- Phone: Yep.
Where it gets a little… "Days Inn-ish"…
The decor? Let's just say it's classic Days Inn. Not exactly cutting-edge design, but everything worked. The lighting was a little… clinical.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Fueling My Adventure (or, You Know, Survival)
Okay, so here’s the thing… the Days Inn itself doesn't have a ton of on-site dining options like a fancy hotel.
- Breakfast [buffet]: They do have a continental breakfast. Yeah, I think it was the same kind of bread for the last 3 days.
- Breakfast takeaway service: This is nice.
- Coffee shop: Nope. But the coffee in the room was serviceable.
- Restaurants: NONE.
- Snack bar: Nope.
- Poolside bar: LOL, no.
I did get some snacks from the nearby convenience store, which was handy.
Things To Do, Ways to Relax, and Not Much of Either (Maybe?)
This is where the Days Inn is a bit… thin.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: There is one. It looked okay. I didn't try it.
- Fitness center: Did NOT see.
- Gym/fitness: Nope.
- Spa Nope.
- Sauna, Steamroom, Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap: Hahaha, no way.
- Ways to relax: (Other than the bed, of course…)
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter
- Air conditioning in public area: A must.
- Business facilities: I did see a small business center.
- Cash withdrawal: A great option.
- Concierge: None that I observed.
- Daily housekeeping: See above.
- Laundry service: Yeah, there is something like that.
- Luggage storage: YES!
- Elevator: Yep.
- Facilities for disabled guests: yep.
- Doorman, Front desk [24-hour]: Yep.
- Safe deposit boxes: Safe.
For the Kids – Not Exactly a Paradise (Unless They Like Swimming)
- Family/child friendly: Seems fine. I assume kids can survive here.
- Babysitting service: I didn’t ask.
- Kids facilities, Kids meal: Nope.
Getting Around – The Logistics
- Car park [free of charge]: Phew! That's a win.
- Taxi service: Unknown.
- Car power charging station: Not sure.
- Airport transfer: Nope. You’re on your own.
My Unfiltered Verdict - Rock Hill's BEST Kept Secret?
Okay, so is the Days Inn in Rock Hill a "secret"? Not really. But is it a seriously decent, clean, and comfortable option for the price? Absolutely.
The Good: Cleanliness is on point. The staff is friendly. The bed is comfy (seriously, I loved that bed). The Wi-Fi is solid. It's a convenient location.
The Bad: The decor is dated. The amenities are limited. The food options are minimal.
Would I Go Back?
Honestly? Yeah, I probably would. It's a solid choice if you’re looking for a no-frills, clean, and affordable stay. I think it lived up to what it was, and I'd rather spend my money on the amazing local restaurant I found!

Days Inn Rock Hill: My Love-Hate Relationship (Probably Mostly Hate, Let's Be Real)
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread in the Beige Abyss (or is it cream?)
1:00 PM - Arriving in Rock Hill: Okay, first impressions. The airport? (LOL, who am I kidding, I’m driving from… well, let’s just say it's a long drive). So, the highway. Sigh. The billboards. The promise of…well, something promising. The feeling that I'm already regretting my life choices. I pull up to the Days Inn. It's…a building. With windows. And a slightly-too-cheerful-for-a-motel exterior. The parking lot looks like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie, but hey, at least there's a spot.
1:30 PM - The Check-In Saga: The front desk person is… well, let’s just say they have a face that hasn't cracked a smile since the invention of the fax machine. They hand me my key card with the enthusiasm of a sloth delivering a eulogy. "Room 212," she mutters. "Have a nice day." (Spoiler alert: I already doubt it).
2:00 PM - Inspecting the Room (and Fighting Off Panic): Okay, here we go. Deep breath. The door closes with a satisfying… thunk. A beige… sanctuary? It’s… functional. The bedspread is questionable (did a cat live here?), the TV is old enough to vote, and the air conditioning sounds like a dying walrus. But hey! Two towels! A little too thin, but hey, towels! I'll try not to dwell on the faint scent of… something. Maybe stale cigarette smoke? Maybe regret? It’s a mix.
2:30 PM - The Great Toilet Paper Debacle: I need to assess the situation in the bathroom. Always. The toilet paper is… thin. Very thin. Like, conspiracy-theory-level thin. This could be problematic. I’ll need a backup plan. Where's the nearest gas station?
3:00 PM - Exploring the "Amenities" (Emphasis on the Air Quotes): Let's see… "Free continental breakfast" - I imagine dry cereal and questionable pastries. The "pool"? Probably a petri dish of bacteria and disappointment. I'm already picturing myself, sunburnt and slightly depressed, sitting on a chipped, plastic chair. I might skip this.
3:30 PM - The Quest for Caffeine (and a Sense of Purpose): Okay, I'm experiencing the low-grade despair that comes with budget travel. I need… coffee. Strong coffee. Good coffee. The in-room coffee maker looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the Reagan administration. Time to brave the outside world. Gas station coffee it is! (Oh, and a lottery ticket. Because… why not?)
4:00 PM - Eating a Lot of Snacks, and Some Netflix: I bought a bunch of snacks and start to watch some Netflix in my room, nothing too exciting. Then I start feeling pretty tired and decide to stay in for the night and have a relaxing evening of snacks and netflix, instead of going out.
8:00 PM - Staring at the ceiling and the existential dread is back: I realize I forgot to get dinner. I will have to eat my snacks I bought, and I'm not looking forward to this. But at least I have some netflix. It's a shame they don't have more cool movies here.
Day 2: Culture and Consumption (Maybe Just Consumption)
7:00 AM - Breakfast of Champions (and Regret): I drag myself out of bed. The walrus is still wheezing in the corner. To the continental breakfast! Wish me luck. I prepare for a fight.
- 7:30am - The Cereal Confrontation: Oh god, it's worse than I imagined. The cereal…it's the kind you can build a small house out of. The milk is lukewarm. I contemplate the existential meaning of life in a world where this constitutes "breakfast." On the plus side, the questionable pastry is at least… plentiful?
8:00 AM - The Rock Hill Pilgrimage and "Historic" Tour: Okay, time to embrace the local culture. I'm going to visit… well, whatever Rock Hill has to offer. Is there a historical society? A particularly interesting gas station? I'll find something. I have to. This is what travel is all about, right? The unexpected joys, the local color, the… eye twitch.
- 8:30 AM - The Town Green Experience: "Look at the flowers" - A flower stands near the center of town, and it's a nice sight.
12:00 PM - Lunch: I go to a local restaurant, and it's alright. The food is good but nothing too special. I'm not overly fond of this place, but I'm happy to be here.
1:00 PM - Shopping: I go to the store, and I bought almost nothing. I saw some cool stuff, but my budget doesn't allow for it.
4:00 PM - The Library: There is a library in the town, and I decide to go there to relax. I decide to relax and read a book for the day.
7:00 PM - Dinner: I go back to the same restaurant from the previous day and get the same meal. I probably should explore the town more, but I'm tired.
Day 3: Departure and Catharsis (or at least, escaping)
7:00 AM - Breakfast, Again: Same breakfast, different day. The walrus is still wheezing (though perhaps it's just my own inner monologue at this point). I'm starting to suspect this experience is going to give me PTSD.
7:30 AM - Packing: I reluctantly pack my things. The bedspread is still questionable. The air conditioning is still…air conditioning-y. The key card, which has been my only companion in this time of struggle, is now a liability.
8:00 AM - The Final Inspection: I do a final sweep of the room. Did I forget anything? Did I leave any evidence of my brief existence in Room 212? I'm pretty sure I saw a cockroach last night, but i'm not 100% sure. I'll never know.
8:30 AM - Check-out: The front desk person is… still there. Still hasn't smiled. But hey, at least she takes my key card without incident.
9:00 AM - Leaving Rock Hill: Freedom! The open road beckons. I take one last look at the Days Inn. It’s… still there. I can't say I enjoyed it, but I survived. And that, my friends, is a win.
10:00 AM - On The Road: The car is packed and ready to leave. I drive away, but I'm already thinking about my next trip.
11:00 AM - Reaching the highway: I'm so happy to be leaving Rock Hill. The worst place I've ever stayed (so far). Never going back.
So, there you have it. My Rock Hill adventure. Messy. Imperfect. Real. And if I'm being honest? I’m probably already planning my next escape.

Alright, Spill the Beans! Is this Days Inn *really* the "Best Kept Secret" as the title suggests? Seriously, What's the deal?
What's the "Vibe" Like? Is it Sleek and Modern, or More "Grandma's Attic"?
The Rooms - The Real Nitty-Gritty. Are they Clean-ish? Are the Beds… Bed-like? Tell Me Everything!
The Breakfast! Oh, the Dreaded Complimentary Breakfast. What Horrors Await?
Okay, let's talk about the staff. Friendly? Grumpy? Invisible?!
Parking and Location? Convenient or a Complete Nightmare?
My MOST Intense Experience - The AC. Tell Me About the AC! Was it an Arctic Blast or a Humid Hellhole?
So, the Final Verdict? Would you recommend this place or is it a hard pass?
