I stayed at the Days Inn of Morganton for 2 days while visiting friends in the area. First of all, they claimed to have "lost" my reservation and put me in a smoking room that smelled like an ashtray. The room was decently heated, but the curtains, sheets, carpet, and bedspread were really worn-out looking, like it had not been replaced in years. The TV did not work either. I talked to a strange older employee (maybe the owner?) about the problems in my room, and he was very rude and short with me. He said to just go back to my room and "get over it". I have nothing against foreigners, but this guy was over the top.
Security was not very good either. I saw and heard people driving through the parking lot all night, and saw some suspicious characters hanging around. Fortunately, they stayed away from me-I got a knock on the door at 2 AM but did not answer it (they went away).
My wake up call was an hour late, which was not cool. The desk clerk acted like she had just been hired yesterday, did not know anything. No free breakfast, and the "coffee" tasted like muddy water. Not a good stay overall, but if you just need a flophouse kind of accomodation for cheap, this would fit the bill.
