Wonderful place for short stay

We stayed at the Days Inn at Taunton Deane (southbound) and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. Our first room, had a strong smell of damp and stale cigarettes, and the carpet appeared to have been recently washed, leaving the room feeling unpleasant and uncomfortable. We didn’t feel able to walk barefoot and kept our shoes on throughout. We requested a room change and the lady on reception was helpful and friendly, assisting us to move. Although better in terms of smell and cleanliness, the décor felt dated and mismatched. The wider service‑station environment also felt run‑down, and the general atmosphere wasn’t welcoming. Food options on site were standard and overpriced, and Days Inn offer a 25% discount for their customers. The service at the Costa was very good. Breakfast seating outdoors seems to have to be taken in the designated dog exercise area. This made the experience unpleasant but it seemed to be free from mess, Travellers should also be aware that the hotel is only accessible southbound. Approaching from the northbound side requires an additional detour of around 15 minutes. Overall, the stay did not meet expectations, and we would not choose this hotel again.

The room was large and airy and comfortable, and very clean. The bathroom had a rainfall shower over the bath, which was lovely - the shower had a decent flow rate (sometimes they can be rather inadequate). The receptionist was friendly, and check-in was simple. The Ways Inn is rooms only, (no restaurant) but the nearby services are more than adequate. There is outdoor seating, if the weather is good. Despite being just off the M5 the Inn is very quiet. Parking is included. For an overnight stop it was brilliant, and I'd happily book it again.

The staff were helpful during check in, but unfortunately that was where the positive experience ended. The room was poorly maintained, with an unpleasant smell, and the level of cleanliness fell below what you would expect.

The room was nice and clean and the staff were very helpful

very friendly and helpful staff clean and quiet and tidy room

Cheap and cheerful (ish). Did exactly the job we needed. Shannon on reception was very helpful

Reasonable amenities. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Limited things to do as was on a motorway services

they dont say they take a credit card for damages taking £1.00 but they dont seem to put it back in. wouldnt stop again

Dish have breakfast

This was an emergency stop over for me as I needed a break and sleep. Mattress was not very comfortable at all the bedroom was tidy and clean. Breakfast choice was either McDonald’s or Costa heated sandwich …not exactly what I would class as a breakfast and being a motorway service station everything was excessively expensive as well. but as I said, this was an emergency night stay and it served its purpose perfectly for me.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely clean room with very comfortable bed and nice shower.

Room was very clean, staff lovely but pretty noisy. Rooms aren’t soundproofed at all (you can hear people going to the toilet as well as doors in the corridor) and the gap under the door lets light in. Very cheap and cheerful for an overnight stay. Wasn’t my worst night sleep ever but have slept better.

Very good

Basic hotel which is fine for the price but the whole hallway smelt musty and strange and the room also had a damp/cabbage smell. Which meant all our coats and clothes smelt too and we only stayed for 1 night. The staff were friendly though. Hotel needs updating.

The hotel was in a very convenient location, the room was warm and comfortable, and the shower was good.

Ross, on reception, was exceptionally professional

We were looking for something cheap and cheerful and Days Inn seemed to fit the bill. When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely member of staff on reception (unfortunately didn’t get him name ☹️), he couldn’t do enough for us! Room was clean, quiet and comfy bed. Great value for money!

An ideal place to have a night away from home, but still carry on with daily life
