The Days Inn in Lisbon, OH: My Unfiltered Take
Alright, let's be real. When I booked this, I was picturing something… well, let's say "budget-friendly". Lisbon, Ohio isn't exactly the Bahamas. But "Unbeatable Deals," it promised. And me? I’m always up for an adventure, especially when it (hopefully) won't break the bank.
Accessibility - The Big Picture (and My Own Struggles):
Okay, here's where things get… interesting. Officially, the Days Inn says accessible. They have facilities for disabled guests, but my experience? Let's just say I'm not in a wheelchair, and navigating the narrow hallways with my oversized luggage felt like an Olympic sport. The elevator? Slow. Like, painfully slow. I actually considered taking the stairs… until I saw the stairs. Let's just say I'm not in tip-top shape, so the stairs weren't really an option, so I was stuck with the sluggish elevator that would make your grandmother feel old. The point is, while they technically offer accessibility, it might not be the best option.
- Wheelchair Accessible: Yes, but… see above.
- Services for Disabled Guests: Mentioned above.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: I did not see any specific on-site accessible restaurants or lounges, so I can't really provide any useful information on this.
Check-in: The First Impression (and a Minor SNAFU):
The front desk staff were… fine. Perfectly adequate. Not overly friendly, not downright rude. Just… there. Check-in was relatively quick, thankfully, because I was STARVING. Contactless check-in/out? Nope. Good old-fashioned key cards, and a smile that felt more mandatory than genuine.
Rooms: Cleanliness and Comfort (with a Side of “Almost Home”):
My room? Okay, and I need to mention the fact that I booked a "non-smoking" room and could still smell cigarette smoke from the hallways. It wasn't disgusting, but you could tell the place had been heavily smoked in at times.
- Cleanliness: I'd give it a solid "B". There was a whiff of cleaning products, which I appreciate (especially these days), but also a faint hint of "lived-in".
- Amenities:
- Free Wi-Fi: Worked like a charm! No complaints there.
- Air Conditioning: Yes, thankfully! It was Ohio in summer, and let me tell you, it's hot.
- Internet: Had a LAN connection and the Wi-Fi which I found very convenient because I needed to work.
- Coffee Maker: Check. Instant coffee, naturally. But hey, caffeine is caffeine.
- Desk: Functional. Not the fanciest setup for my laptop, but it's better than nothing.
- Other amenities: I had complimentary toileteries, Ironing feautures, hair dryer, and a mini bar.
Internet Access: Gotta Stay Connected (and Vent a Little):
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: Yes, and thankfully fast! I needed to work.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: (Breakfast Adventures):
This is where things got… interesting.
- Breakfast [buffet]: The "buffet" was a bit more of a grab-and-go situation, I think it was pre-packaged pastries, some kind of cereal, and… questionable coffee. I didn't risk the coffee. I did grab a pastry but I had to throw it away.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant: Yes. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I won't drink their coffee!
What to do… in Lisbon? (My Attempt at Entertainment):
There's not a whole lot to do in Lisbon itself. This is an important heads up. I did a quick search. The area felt slightly "off the beaten path." I found a used bookstore.
- Things to do: (This is more about the area than the hotel)
- Car Park [free of charge], Car Park [on-site], Valet parking: All Available.
Services and Conveniences: The Day-to-Day (Mostly Okay):
- Daily housekeeping: Yes. The room was tidied.
- Laundry service: Didn't use it, but it was available.
- 24-hour front desk: Always a good thing.
For the Kids (and my inner Child):
- Family/child friendly: I saw a few families, so yeah.
- Babysitting service: I didn't see any
Cleanliness and Safety: (Let's Get the Pandemic out of the way)
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Not sure of the brands, but the room smelled clean.
- Hand sanitizer: Available in the lobby.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Seemed like it.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: I hope so!
Getting Around: (Because You'll Need To):
- Car park [free of charge]: Yeah, loads of parking!
- Car park [on-site]: Right there.
- Car power charging station: Didn't see one.
- Taxi service: I took my rental car.
The Verdict: Unbeatable Deals? It Depends…
So, are the "Unbeatable Deals" actually unbeatable? Well… it depends on your expectations. If you're looking for a basic, affordable place to rest your head while exploring the area, it's acceptable. If you're expecting luxury, turn around now.
Overall: It was fine. Fine. Would I stay there again? Maybe. If the price was right. But I'd pack my own coffee. And maybe a Hazmat suit, just in case.
Escape to Paradise: North Bay's Best-Kept Secret (Quality Inn Awaits!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into… wait for it… a stay at the Days Inn by Wyndham Lisbon, Ohio. Sounds glamorous, right? Right. Let's see if we can inject a little life into this… endeavor.
Day 1: Arrival & Mild Panic
1:00 PM: Check-in – The Saga Begins. Okay, first impressions. The lobby? Let's call it "functional". Not exactly the Four Seasons, but hey, I'm not here to judge a book by its cover, or a motel by its lobby wallpaper. The clerk, bless her heart, looks like she's seen things. Like, real things. You know? Places I shouldn't ask about. Checking in was painless enough, though. The key card? Slightly less so. Kept glitching. Gave me a moment of existential dread, like my whole weekend hinged on getting into room 117. (Spoiler alert: it does).
1:30 PM: Room Assessment & Existential Crisis. Room 117. Deep breaths. Okay, the bedspread… it's… yeah. A pattern. A bold pattern. And the carpet, oh the carpet. Let's just say it holds secrets. Secrets I'm probably better off not knowing. But hey, the room's clean-ish. And the air conditioner actually works. This, friends, is what I call a win. The desk? Slightly sticky. Pretty sure it's been used for a million things I don't want to picture. But, I have a desk! And a chair! Oh, the chair… it's seen some things too (I swear, everything in here has seen things!!). Overall, mild panic is setting in. Is this really where my vacation goes?
2:00 PM: Unpacking (Sort Of). I'm not gonna lie, unpacking is a struggle. I'm a terrible packer. More of a "shove everything in and hope for the best" kind of gal. So my suitcase looks like a bomb went off every where I go. I'm basically living out of my suitcase at this point, which isn't ideal. At least I found snacks. Thank goodness.
3:00 PM: Exploring Lisbon (Maybe). Right, the plan was to check out the local sights. Lisbon! Sounds exciting, right? Well, right now, the thought of leaving the comfort of my questionable motel room feels about as appealing as a root canal. Thinking about it. Maybe later. I'm suddenly very content to plop myself back down on the bed and turn on the TV. What channel is cable again?
6:00 PM: Dinner & A Movie…Literally. There's a Perkins nearby! Classic. Comfort food is the way to go when you're feeling slightly adrift in a sea of motel-ness. Got a massive plate of something or other and watched a movie on my laptop. Excellent move.
Day 2: A Day of Doing… Stuff
8:00 AM: Breakfast Drama. Continental breakfast! Anticipation was high, my expectations were… not. The coffee tasted like sadness, the "waffles" were, let's say, waffle-adjacent. But the bagels? Edible. Maybe. And there was some fruit of the not very ripe kind. The important thing: We. Survived. Breakfast.
9:00 AM: Actually Leaving! Finally out of the room. I'm thinking a hike. Because, you know. Exercise? That's what healthy people do. Right?
10:00 AM: Hiking (Almost). Found some trails! They were actually rather enchanting. Until I tripped over, and sprained my ankle! Ouch. Okay, that was less enchanting. Turns out, I didn't plan quite so well, so I will definitely not go hiking.
12:00 PM: Lunch and Lamentation. Had to hobble back to the car. Found the nearest fast food place. Sad salad and contemplation of sprained ankles. Should've taken the day off and stayed inside.
2:00 PM: The Lisbon Street Fair. Whoa! There's a street fair! Perfect! I'm in my element here. Now this is what I call vacation. And the food! Fried everything! Perfect! Even if I'm on crutches.
6:00 PM: A Second Look at the Perkins. Had dinner at the Perkins. Because, you know, it's the only place I really know. And because I was hungry. Nothing exciting happened. Except I saw the same lady as yesterday. Does she live here?
9:00 PM: Back to Room 117 & Netflix Binge. Ah, the sweet, sweet embrace of room 117. TV. Netflix. The end.
Day 3: Departure & The Sweetest Relief
8:00 AM: Farewell Breakfast (And Avoiding the Waffle-Thing). Okay, I know the drill now, I had cereal and an apple. That was the safest option.
9:00 AM: Packing (Again, Mostly Ineffective). Packing up. Leaving. Freedom! Well, soon, freedom. And my suitcase… I think I'm going to wait until I get home.
10:00 AM: Final Check-Out & Escape. Check-out. No broken keys. No existential crises. Just a mild sense of triumph.
10:30 AM: The Road Home. Honestly, I wasn't ready to go, but I am. Ready to go home.
The Days Inn Review: A Retrospective
Okay, so… the Days Inn in Lisbon, Ohio. Let's not mince words: it wasn't the luxe experience. It wasn't the dream. But, you know what? It was… an experience. It had a certain… charm. And honestly, the fact that I survived, the fact that I laughed more than I expected. Maybe I had a good time. I'm not sure, really. But, now I'm home. Maybe I will come back next year. Maybe.
Yale's Hidden Gem: Courtyard Haven Awaits! (New Haven, CT)
Alright, Lisbon, Ohio? Really? What's the *deal* with this "getaway"?
Okay, okay, I get it. Lisbon, Ohio. Sounds like a place where time goes to... well, to slow down. And yes, initially, I was like, "Lisbon? Next you'll be telling me about the *thrilling* experience of watching paint dry!" (Spoiler alert: I might have done that at *some* point during this adventure - more on that later.) But, hear me out. It's a *getaway* in the sense that it's a break from the *insanity* of life. And, let's be honest, the Days Inn deals are pretty darn appealing when your bank account is screaming "emergency fund!" This whole thing started with... well, let's just say I needed to *escape*. Don't judge. We've all been there. So, Lisbon. Budget-friendly. Clean sheets (hopefully). The perfect storm of "I need a vacation but I'm also broke."
Seriously, the Days Inn? Is it... *haunted*? Or at least, *clean*?
Okay, the *haunted* question is fair. My imagination runs wild in places like this. I'm a sucker for a good ghost story, so naturally, I spent the first hour listening for whispers. (Didn't hear any, sadly. Though, I *did* swear I saw a dust bunny smirk at me, but that could've been the lack of sleep.) And the cleaning? Look, it's no Ritz Carlton. Let's just say I did a *thorough* inspection of the sheets before committing to a cuddle sesh. (Don't judge! Again!) But honestly? It was... adequate. Surprisingly so. The bathroom wasn't radiating some biohazard, and the bed didn't feel like sleeping on concrete. So, a win! (But keep an eye out for those smirking dust bunnies, just in case.)
What IS there to *do* in Lisbon, Ohio, besides contemplating the existential dread of budget travel?
Okay, here we go. This is where I fully confess my "research" consisted of Googling "Lisbon, Ohio, attractions" while simultaneously eating a bag of chips. So, yeah, the options, shall we say, are not *abundant*. But, and this is a *big* but, that's kind of the *point*. You're not there for a whirlwind of tourist traps. You're there... to *unwind*. To stare at the clouds. To ponder the mysteries of the universe. (Specifically, how the heck the Wi-Fi at the Days Inn could be so spotty). But... there are a few things.
- The Lisbon Square: Okay, it's a square. With some shops. And a gazebo. And more than one antique store (bonus points for an antique store!). Spent way longer than I thought exploring the shops. Found a weird porcelain cat. And a vintage hat that probably saw some serious action.
- Local Eateries: The food scene is...comforting. Found a diner that made a decent Reuben, and a pizza place that was surprisingly delish. This wasn't fine dining, but I enjoyed it.
- Driving Around: The surrounding countryside is pretty, if you enjoy rolling hills and the occasional abandoned barn. I might or might not have gotten a little lost. More like... a lot lost. Which was kind of the point, right?
Let's get personal. What was the *best* part? And the *worst*?
Alright, let's get *real*. The best part? Total and utter peace. Seriously. No emails. No demands. Just... quiet. (Except for the occasional truck rumbling by the Days Inn at 3 AM. That was less...peaceful.) The worst? Probably the Wi-Fi. Oh, the Wi-Fi. I'm not sure if it was dial-up, or if they were just using carrier pigeons to deliver data. It was maddening. I needed to scroll through my Insta. I needed to see my cat. It was a dark hour, I tell you. But hey, it was also good. I had to actually talk to the person I was with.
The Lisbon Square: More details on the *antique stores*? Spill the Tea!
Okay, let's dive deep into the antique store universe of Lisbon. Prepare yourselves, this got into some deep territory of time, history, and dust. I can't even remember the names. It was a blur of chipped teacups, porcelain dolls with vacant eyes, and enough moth-eaten velvet to upholster a small couch. I spent what felt like *days* - which was maybe an hour or two - rummaging through dusty shelves. The owners were characters, to say the least. One, a woman named Agnes who looked like she'd seen things, regaled me with tales of the "good ol' days" while I was probably trying to hide my phone. (Guilty). Another, a man who smelled strongly of pipe tobacco, seemed to know every single item in there. He was also a font of local gossip. Honestly, the antique stores were my highlight. The objects *felt* like they had stories. And I love a good story. I almost bought a creepy clown painting. (I resisted. Mostly.)
Days Inn Deals! What are we actually *talking* about here? Are we talking rock-bottom, or "slightly less expensive than a luxury hotel"?
Okay, the *money*. The driving force behind this entire adventure. Let's be perfectly honest, the Days Inn deals were the main reason I even considered Lisbon in the first place. We're talking *rock bottom*. Like, you could probably afford a stay even if you accidentally spent your grocery money on a questionable online purchase. And honestly? For the price? It's hard to complain. You’re getting a bed, a shower, and the illusion of a clean space to rest your weary head. Was it luxurious? Absolutely not. But did it fulfill its basic purpose of providing a roof over my head? Absolutely!
So you said you got lost. Details, please! What's the *rural driving* like around Lisbon?
Oh, the driving "experience." Where do I even begin? Firstly, GPS? Questionable. Especially if you're in the mood to get lost on purpose, and then discover your phone doesn't have service. Secondly, the roads are winding. There are rolling hills. There are *a lot* of trees. And occasionally, there's a deer that looks at you and goes, "You're lost, right? I could'The Stay Journey
