Days Inn Benson

This hotel is okay for a one nights stay. The bed was comfortable, lots of extra hot water, refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave were helpful! Didn’t try the breakfast but perfectly located across from a Dennys.

Clean, reasonable prices, friendly staff. I was genuinely concerned about staying at a hotel in Benson, but I was pleasantly surprised. Its an older place, but seems well maintained. The bed was comfy enough and there were no icky bugs in the room. The lifesize cardboard cutout of «Wyndam Wizard» was creepy as hell, but as a corporate hotel I don’t think that was a personal design choice. Its right by the door too, so its the first thing you see walking in. Creepy! Otherwise a pleasant stay.

Terrible terrible terrible. The room was infested with bed bugs. Within minutes my husband and I were being bitten. We moved the bed and instantly found loads of bed bugs behind the bed and in between the wall. We immediately told the manager and he tried to tell us it was OUR fault and that we brought bugs in from using the side door. Absolutely ridiculous. Do not stay here.

So here I go… I had been going into this Days Inn as I became acquaintances with the Main Manager. I had always been very thankful to be allowed to hang around as I live out in the country and do not have a place to do my paper work for my job as my cellular phone lacks signal at home.
One night I was sitting in the lobby at a table in the breakfast area and an inquiring person about being a guest walked in and no one was at the Front Desk. That is fine as they have a nice sign that says please ring bell for service thank you management. The person rung the bell and waited a while, no one showed up. The person said hello and again no one showed up. The person rung the bell again and same thing, no one showed up. Finally the person looked over as I looked at them wondering what was going on and the person saw me.
Mind you, the lights are off in the breakfast area at night and only a lamp by the television was on. The person thought I was a worker ignoring them, after they noticed me.
After someone eventually arrived at the Front Desk and finished checking in the person, I was asked to leave and no longer do my paper work at this Days Inn because the guest got upset thinking I was ignoring them when I am not even a worker and never have been.
Now, I have to be punished and lack doing my job because I have no where I can properly do my work as I need signal on my cellular phone to use the internet. I was getting my leads, contacts and paper work done at Days Inn and it had been nice as it often had been quiet at night. Benson needs more places for people to do their office work besides the library where no one can talk and a motel that has issues.

So, this is not the typical clean and modern Days Inn, this is far from that. Trusting the name of the brand, we picked this motel to stay for the night. The whole place looked rundown and the cleanliness was average, wouldn’t call it dirty yet, at least I didn’t see stains in our room or in the bathroom, but the overall impression of the motel was dated, and one night is enough for me.
They serve breakfast till 9am, but I don’t care for it. They have milk and juice from concentrate, coffee, lots of carb-​loaded items like toast and waffles that I wasn’t sure if they were freshly made (no waffle machine). I’m glad they have a kettle of oatmeal, at least it’s something hot and made fresh (hopefully). They’ve got some fruits so I grabbed an apple and mixed the slices into my oatmeal. The apple was probably the cheapest apple you could find. I was just glad at least it wasn’t bad, but it was far from tasting good or fresh.
Wifi is free without the need of a password, which might explain why it’s so slow.
Just pay a bit more for a better stay. I saw a Best Western across the freeway and it has better reviews.

Dirty walls, stains on sheets along with holes. Being a days inn I expected it to at least be clean. I expect this from no name motels in the middle of no where, not a decent chain like this. i Was not impressed and won’t be coming back.

Pro:
*Right off 10 freeway
*Very fast wifi (no password required)
*Free breakfast (6−9am, if you can get up)
*Spacious room and giant king size bed
*Room has microwave and fridge
*Bathroom has coffee maker, Matrix hair products and hair dryer
*Very friendly staff
Con:
*No elevator
*Room has a dated old perfume smell
*TV only has antenna channels
*Water pressure is just ok
*No outlet near the bedside table (unless you move the table and unplug their lamp)
*No outlet near the table (unless you unplug microwave or fridge).
If you book through Hotwire, most likely will be it in this area.
good value and quite comfortable for my stay.
Avoid if you can’t climb stairs and sensitive to the smell.

We had 2 rooms. One was clean and just «ok» but the other room had bugs dead and alive everywhere. I am not kidding. One dead bug was in the coffee maker. Gross. The pool was filthy but the hot tub was nice. The staff was very nice.

Here’s another road trip my Motorcycle Club is doing, a 3 day overnighter to TOMBSTONE, AZ a rally held every year in October, we chose to attend HELL-​Dorado week.
We made our reservations away from tombstone in a little town called Benson, we’ve learn from the past that it is not always necessary to stay close by to the rally and then get caught up in paying the high prices. (Benson is short motorcycle ride to the event location).
Our MC club stayed at this Days inn, what a quaint little hotel, it had basic necessities, our room was on the second floor, WHAT?!, no elevator, this might be a deterrent if you have bad knees and your lugging your luggage up & down the stairs, definitely not good for the elderly. The second floor does not have much for a view from any room or from any angle. Our room had a little refrigerator it served it purpose, the bathroom was not spotless but it just an ok type of clean. The sink had a small leak which drip on to the floor and the shower did not have much pressure but it had hot water and you were able to have a hot shower.
Its late fall and the pool was open but not heated and the water was freezing cold! Although they did have a heated jacuzzi which made up the difference, All in all, this motel served what we call the 3-​s, sleep, sheit, shower, it was good enough for this bike club.
As usual, the continental breakfast was just ok, not the best but it was free, remember you get what you paid for and this was cheap.

Most likely the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Looks nice from the outside but on the inside it is gross! Outdated on the inside, the carpets are filthy covered in you know what stains, the walls have buggers smeared on them, found dead bugs in the bathroom, cigarette burns in the blankets, great place to bring the family… Bring your kids so they can crawl on the carpet and eat bugs off the floor.

Clean room, friendly staff.
Good value $ 59 per night as advertised online.
Easy access on/​off I-​10, several fast food and super market within walking distance.
Parking for trucks, trailers, and RVs in the lot next to the hotel.

This hotel served it’s purpose for my GF and I visiting the caverns and Tombstone. The hotel was nothing great, but it doesn’t try to be, and at the price they charge you, you can’t expect it to be anything beyond a place to sleep.
The breakfast was your standard continental breakfast. The rooms were standard size and felt clean enough. The bed was fine. Wifi worked fine. Front desk staff did their job.
Overall I can’t complain, and I would return.

The room smelled like someone spilled a bottle of perfume in it when we arrived. The ice machine had leaked. There were towels on the floor for two days and the carpet was wet. The hot tub was broken. The pool area had broken tables. Front desk service was the best part of our visit.

This place could have been better if it was cleaner! I opted to spend more $$ for the jucuzzi tub.
Upon check in I noticed our tub was so dirty we didn’t feel we could take a shower, the tv in the bedroom didn’t work and the top lock wasn’t there… I called to see if we could just move rooms and the manager said he’d take careof everything tomorrow and give us a discount for that night’s stay.
Everything was fixed when we returned the next day. The discount… a whole $ 6.00 off… wow, really?
For the price, it was just ok… thinking I’ll stay at Best Western next time.

Can’t beat the price and location just off the freeway. My wife and I stayed here before heading to the Kartchner Caverns and Tombstone the following day. The grounds were clean and room was good. I’ve paid a lot more for a much worse room and motel/​hotel.
There is a small pool and plenty of parking. The continental breakfast in the morning is cereal, juice and muffin, toast and bagels.
The bed was very hard and pillows a little too fluffy and soft.
The room served the purpose, a nights rest, shower and a bite of food before starting our day in Southern AZ.

Place is struggling but the service is super nice. Non smoking room reeks of cigarettes. Trying hard to not be a dump and only barely succeeding — however the dedication of the staff keeps it livable. Stay here if you must, it aint great but you could do worse.
