I didn’t like anything , The Bathroom was not clean My friend cleans the bathroom because the staff said housekeeping wasn’t coming until 12 pm I checked in at 8 am that morning and had to pay a early check in fee of 20$ none of the lights or walk sockets worked on the right side refrigerator was nasty the room was not clean the Most of the Guest were battling addiction I saw the sell of narcotics the Guest were r fighting in the room beside me early that morning and later that night the Guest to the right of me were fighting at 2:30 am this morning. It was a terrible experience all across the board . I booked your site to insure a quality hotel for a quality stay and I spent money to sleep in a dirty mold smelling dirty sheets not to mention that I had to clean hair in the sink in the tub it was horrible and the front Desk manager MIT could only say sorry I’m disappointed because I was out of $100 I could have slept in my car I need compensation

For the price I ought not complain… But, the cover sheet on the bed had 8-10 cigarettes burns… the bathroom towels were the cheapest I’ve ever seen. Z The carpet made my feet hurt. Pretty bad.

After working in the Memphis region for several years, I've learned this is favorite place to stay. The owners are very kind and pay attention to detail. It is always a pleasure staying here.

This is a hidden gem of a hotel. This is where I stay every time I visit the Memphis area. I always get a good night's rest and the owners are very kind and friendly.

This was a horrible place. They had 2 cars in hat were broke now o pulled up to get he free not door. There were 2 inappropriate dressed women in front of front door. Several people hanging outside the fro t door. It was a horrible experience and it was not a safe place.
- 5/5
Not bad. Price was fine. Room to match.
- 1/5
In addition to paying for the room with a cc, they took a $50 deposit for the night. They refused to refund the deposit upon chexkout this morning - inly saying it was non-refundable. So the $54 for one night was acutally $104 plus tax. This is a scam. I do NOT rexommend Shelby Inn. When I asked about getting the depsit back, they called security and threatened to call the police. I left. I still don’t understand.

Room was clean . Bed comfy...area is not the safest and breakfast would of been great.

Not at all what I expected. There was no lobby, you checked in through a little window like a walk up drive thru. I booked non smoking. The room wreaked of cigarettes. There were stains on the bedding. And there was a huge gap around the door, you could see outside. I did not feel safe or like I was in a clean environment. There’s a hotel across the street that had people sitting outside just watching from the parking lot. I did not feel safe and left in less than 5 minutes of being there. I turned in my key and booked somewhere else.

It was very dated looked like something from the 70s the smoke detector was missing and wires were hanging from the ceiling where it should have been ,I saw the actual detector in a drawer, it was the worst hotel I ever stayed in actually it was a motel, with room entrances from the outside,no elevator.avoid if you can.

The staff was very awesome and helpful. They get 100 on customer service and kindness. The room did smell like weed, and had open soap packets inside and the counter. Also the bed sheets had cig burns. The parking is very convenient, the place is quite. It was a great stay for a couple days. Thank you

Nice enough. But the floors need cleaning. I stepped into the shower and my footprints were muddy!
- 1/5
This was the worse motel I’ve ever stayed in. The sink was leaking onto the carpet. The toilet was leaking around the base. The was a huge cockroach in the shower. The leaks caused the room to really smell musky. Take my advice and pay a little extra to stay elseway.
- 1/5
This place should be shut down. It was disgusting. The bed spread was covered in stains and cigarette burn holes. The toilet had pubic hair all over it. The room also smelled like mildew. We did not stay and was not given a refund.

Overall I was pleased with the service I received. I just thought that this hotel offered a breakfast in the morning. It does not include breakfast and cable channels are very limited.

It was nothing like the pictures displayed, it super dirty where we were scared to step in the filthy tub, our toilet was clogged and they gave me a plunger since they state they don't have a maintenance person .Also the so called free breakfast is non existent as if I would eat anything they served. WORST stay ever
- 5/5
Smooth service
- 2/5
Our room was filthy, the carpet, the bathroom, there was a small amount of toilet paper on the roll, someone poured something in the sink and didn't clean it out. Holes in the ceiling, unpatched holes on the walls, the walls had cracks, and were dirty, did not trust the blanket because it had stains on it, so I took if off the bed, could not get extra pillows, very bad cleaning service, I used sanitizing wipes to clean the entire room and toilet, I sprayed the bed down with fungus spray because the room was just not clean at all. I could not hardly sleep because I was so uncomfortable. For the price they charged it did not meet the quality. It was a waste of money. We didn't feel as safe either, because folks was outside walking around making us leery of being there.

False advertising. This location is nothing like the pictures on this site. Unsafe location.

This place was horrible, rooms were very dirty, dirty everything and my no smoking room has burnt spots in curtains and comforter and bed smelled like motor oil. If I go to Memphis again and this was the only place vacant I'll sleep in my car!

Was horrible for the money. Hole punched in bathrroom door. Sink and bathroom sketchy. Tub looked like there were cigarette burns all down side. Burn holes in carpet and comforter. No breakfast even though advertised on internet and their sign. Worth only $50 a noght and not the $100 I paid.

DON’t STAY HERE! It’s not cleaned well. Debris in the floor , stains on the sheets and towels, poor plaster on the walls…. We changed rooms and the second room was slightly better but still dirty. We tried to leave and change hotels. We called Hotels.com and they were super empathetic, but when they called the hotel, the manager at the front desk said he didn’t have the authority to refund our money. Hotels.com tried three times. Additionally, the sight advertised free breakfast and there was none! Using Covid as an excuse when the hotel industry is back to providing breakfasts except when construction is involved. It’s clear this hotel is not a true Days Inn property and that they are suffering financially or the franchise holder is not investing in the property. Horrible horrible experience.

The room was absolutely disgusting! There was dirt and debris, EVERYWHERE. We were in a non smoking room that very clearly was regularly smoked in. There were burn marks on both bed coverings as well as the floor. The smoke alarm was non existent. The topper; a roach crawled out of the broken drawer of the dresser. I can forgive the filth and the smoke considering this is like a 1star hotel. I draw the line at bugs!!

Had to stand outside in cold to check-in. Was told my card was insufficient funds for reservation and then finally told it was good. Made reservation using points, but was charged full cost on credit card, and they deducted my points also. Tried to chat and after 2 attempts was not successful in resolving this.

The staff was not accommodating. the facility was deteriorating. linens were sparse.

The hot breakfast, pool, and lobby were unavailable. The door to room did not seal, so light and noise came in easily from outside. The bathroom wall had stains near the toilet as though it had been urinated on. The walls were thin. The room itself was comfortable, but dated with many uncoordinated colors (red bedspread, purple lamps, 1 lime green wall, 3 peach colored walls).

I don’t know if it was terrible really I didn’t even stay in the room nor check in and I was still charged.

This hotel was extremely dirty. The first room had stains all over the walls, a hole was in the wall, and belongings were left behind of a previous stay. I of course asked to be moved into a second room. In this room there was hair left on the blankets, the sheets were stained with multiple small spots, and yet again personal belongs were left behind in the room. I would not choose to stay at this hotel. The cleanliness is rated at 0/10. Even at check in many people had a problem with getting the correct rooms and I had wait about 50 mins for only 2 people to get checked into their correct rooms before I could be helped. Again do not book at this motel.
- 1/5
Really? Had a sign out of the motel across the street , newer and NICE for less than HALF what we paid. Will NEVER stay at a Days Inn again! Worst place ever in our many years of marriage. Bad choice Expedia! Very BAD. Probably use different company from now on.!! Oh, did I mention that walls are dirty and need painted,? Also the bed was OLD, and worn out.....NO SLEEP. Should have slept in car.

The room was clean, the shower was great but the desk clerk was on the rude side. I had wanted to pay cash at time of checkin but was told there is a 200 dollar deposit. Our bed was hard as a rock and the breakfast which was nice that they had it was just so so.
- 2/5
When we checked in, we had to use the outside night window. You weren’t allowed inside.The room smelled. The towel bar in the bathroom wouldn’t hold the towels (loose from the wall). The door to the bathroom wouldn’t shut( warped??). the door to the room at the bottom has an inch opening to the outside. When we left in the morning. the man was rude. Terrible stay.

The unique thing about this Motel is the price they charge for a substandard facility. The online presentation is misleading at best. I would never stay at this Motel or any Days Inn because of my experience during this stay. I would not recommend this Motel to anyone.

In the middle of the night a policeman banged on our door demanding to enter. He did not identify himself and we were frightened out of our wits. When we did not open the door he came back with the manager and proceeded to try to enter our room. He never apologized for the mistake and the hotel refused to refund our stay. He said he was mistaken and the person he was looking for was next-door and evicted them. This was absolutely the most harrowing experience I have had at a hotel. I am still having PTSD about this day.

On a good note the staff was very kind and accommodating. and of course we understood why the breakfast lobby was not opened to guests, but a voucher for a meal at a local restaurant like McDonalds or Burger King could have been offered.
