Review from Liza M.

I made a reservation at the Days Inn, thinking since it was part of the Travel Lodge chain, it had to be okay. OMG, did I regret this mistake.
We checked in at 2 am Thanksgiving Day. King sized bed, non smoking room. Being that it was 2 am, we were not up to checking things out in the room except to get some sleep. One thing did stand out though, the plug in outlet that the TV was plugged into, was hanging from the wall with exposed wires. Thought to myself, there have not been any building inspectors here recently. Oh, and it smelled like smoke.
Woke up and went for our free breakfast. Stale danishes, frosted flakes, raisen bran, hard boiled eggs and not to good tasting juice. Made metal note to myself, no breakfast tomorrow. Stayed out all day and came back really late. Went to sleep only to awake to pain because of the uncomfortable bed. So I decided to shower. This is when I really started to notice how bad things were. Opened the shower door (that was broken and would not stay shut) and looked in. The soap dish had so much soap sweat in it, the build up looked about a years worh of soap. The bottom of the shower, which was supposed to be white, was black from body oils. Discusting. Dried off with a smoked scented towel. Too a look at the toilet and realized it was sitting at an angle, and thought to myself, it is not long before this toilet falls through the second level and down to the first.
Paint on the fixtures in the bathroom, the floor had a darkened layer on the peach colored tile. The luggage fold out support looked like it had been retrieved from the garbage. The floor under the luggage support felt like it was about to give way.
My family and I left for the day to be with family. The Days Inn really was not my cup of tea that I expected in California, Mexico maybe. So I called the headquarters. They said I had to take it up with the owner. So I did. I thought that I was being pretty reasonable requesting to leave and not be charged for the next night. And I probably would not have taken the time to write on Yelp had he done what I asked. He kept wanting to look at another room. Why would I want to look at another room? They were supposed to clean this one and keep it up to standards.
Sorry to say this, but I will not be staying at a Days Inn again. This owner does not take pride in owning his business and keeping his business out of the slums. On the other hand, the corporate office of the Days Inn contacted me, appologized profusely, offered to send me a two night refund and promised to work with the owner to change things at the Yuba City Days Inn. Hopefully he will take their advise and clean things up. In the mean time, if you visit Yuba City, which is a nice little town, stay at the Bonanza Inn. You will feel as if it is a 5 star hotel. -
Review from Joseph T.

Being a so-called "almost" professional amateur bowler, I have to travel all over the place. Unfortunately, some of these locations are totally absurd and in the middle of nowhere. This year's 2007 CA state tournament happens to be in Yuba City and Oroville.
After my friend Joe and I arrived at Sacramento, we had to drive almost an hour to this hotel. Fortunately, being the best navigator in the damn business, I told Joe to take the I-5N to CA-20E (instead of the direct I-5S to CA-99N), which was a very nice scenic route that consisted of total emptiness and cows moaning at 1am in the morning.
After arriving at the hotel, we had to knock on a locked door and wake up the front desk attendant. I swear... everywhere I looked in the office said "this Days Inn is owned by Sheikvendher Singh." I must have been very watery-eyed because I thought it was saying Sh*tvendher. Maybe it was just ironic I would think about this considering the quality of our room.
After Sheikvendher gave Joe and I our card key, I proceeded to try and get into our room. The card key wasn't even activating the stupid light. We're struggling to get into our room while watching all the hobos outside screaming at Shi*vendher that their cable TV was not working. That already gave me bad vibes that this hotel was going to be sarcastically entertaining.
After Shi*vendher was yelling at all of the hobos that he would fix the cable TV issues, he told me that our door was broken and we had to hold the handle up to activate the lights. I guess since I have a very high IQ, that means I cannot open doors. Anyways, we go inside and it was probably ten degrees hotter than outside! I start turning on the A/C and we proceed to eat our Carl's Jr. that we bought across the street. Joe and I start trash talking the hotel accommodations and then the funniest thing happened... the artwork on the wall fell and hit Joe on the head.
I don't know how to react to this moment other than saying "DAMNIT, SHI*VENDHER HAS CURSED YOU FOR INSULTING HIS HOTEL." That brought us a good minute of laughter.
Since we weren't able to watch any TV, we read the hotel information guide. Of course there was more propaganda that let us know about Shi*vendher owning this particular Days Inn. I go to use the bathroom and the freaking toilet was stopped up. At this point, I felt that Shi*vendher was beginning to curse me too, so I decide to call it a night and go into the covers. That was a bad choice, since the insides were WET!!! I'm really praised that it wasn't wet and sticky or else I would have tossed the sheets out into the street.
Well after sleeping, we had a late squad to bowl, so I think we got up around 9am. Now it's time to take a shower. I try shutting the shower door, but it was broken. At this rate, I'm asking myself, "is there anything in this fuc*ing room that isn't broken??" I started to block out the fallacies of this hotel and just let the water spray all into the floor. I finish up and I let Joe take his shower. About 5 minutes later, I hear this big thump in the bathroom and he starts screaming out like an Indian. I first misunderstood it as a mating call, but he was in agony that the shower bar broke and fell into the toilet. Just beautiful...
I'm sure I could go on and on about the great experience we had at this hotel, but I don't want Shi*vendher to send anymore of his curses to me. I give this hotel 5 stars for giving me a great story to tell though.
