Beaver's Best Kept Secret: Days Inn Comfort Awaits!
Beaver's Best Kept Secret: Days Inn Comfort Awaits! - A Review That's Not Just Copy-Pasted! (Promise!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to dive into the Days Inn in Beaver, and let me tell you, it's a mixed bag. They claim to be a "best kept secret," which, let's be honest, is what every hotel says. But is it? Is it REALLY? Grab your coffee, because this review's gonna be longer than the elevator ride to the top floor (which, by the way, does have an elevator, a big accessibility win, which is more than I can say for some places I've been!).
Accessibility: Seriously Good, But Not Perfect (Like My Life)
First off, accessibility. They actually do seem to give a darn about guests with mobility issues. Big plus. Wheelchair accessible isn't just a checkbox – they've got elevators, ramps seemingly everywhere, and the front desk, praise the travel gods!, wasn’t a climb-up-Mount-Kilimanjaro situation. Now, finding the accessible parking spots? A mini-quest. I circled for a good five minutes, channeling my inner Indiana Jones. But, alright, I eventually succeeded! Their Facilities for disabled guests tag is actually… accurate. Good job, Days Inn. Now, about those hallways. They were okay, but, you know, could be a little wider for a full-on wheel-chair dance-off. Just a thought.
Cleanliness and Safety: Germs, Be Gone! (Maybe?)
Okay, I am a bit of a germaphobe, so this area gets a TON of attention. They're touting all the right things: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer dispensers EVERYWHERE (thank you, Days Inn, my anxious heart is soothed!), Rooms sanitized between stays. They even had a Room sanitization opt-out available, which, okay, is a bit extra. It’s like, “Do you really trust us? Because if not, fine, we’ll let you do it.” Love it. They had a Professional-grade sanitizing services (I hope!), Staff trained in safety protocol, and Hot water linen and laundry washing, but the thing that I think helped me the most was seeing the Anti-viral cleaning products. Made me feel a little more at ease!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Journey (Or Just Trying To Survive)
Let's get real. Hotel breakfast is a gamble. Breakfast [buffet] at Days Inn? It was… there. I mean, it existed. There was Breakfast service, but I saw a lot of the same things. A selection of Asian breakfast options… or maybe the leftovers from the night before. There was a Coffee shop, which I took advantage of to fuel my caffeine addiction. On other things I saw the Coffee/tea in restaurant. I had not the time to check any Desserts in restaurant out. I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time in this motel just going from one area to the next, and that sounds a little exhausting. They had Breakfast takeaway service, so I was sure to prepare each day.
This is a big area, especially for me: I require food and drink, and the Room service [24-hour] service was essential for me. I don't think I've ever been to a hotel that has any kind of Poolside bar or a Snack bar in sight.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day Dreams in Beaver?
Okay, so the brochure promised a Fitness center, and a Swimming pool [outdoor]. I, unfortunately, didn't make it. I heard the pool was alright, but nothing to write home about (unlike this review, obviously!). I did not see the Spa, the Sauna, the Steamroom, or any other of those fancy spa dreams.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (And Sometimes Don't)
So, let's move on to the services and amenities. They had a Concierge, which was nice, even if I didn’t really need one. The Daily housekeeping was appreciated, because, well, I'm messy, and even though the Ironing service, I didn't actually use it (shhh, don't tell anyone). They had an Elevator! (Again, crucial for accessibility). Plenty of Luggage storage. And oh, the Wi-Fi! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (and, crucially, Internet access and Wi-Fi in public areas), and it actually worked. I mean, I managed to stream some cat videos, so it passed the test!
One slightly weird thing: the Car park [free of charge]. It was free, great! But finding a spot? Another mini-quest. Again. Beaver is apparently popular. Good for Beaver, bad for my parking karma.
Available in All Rooms: The Nitty-Gritty (and Sometimes the Grimy)
Alright, into the rooms! The Air conditioning worked like a charm – a necessary mercy in the summer heat! I loved the Additional toilet! I saw the Complimentary tea and Coffee/tea maker, and that helped me get my mornings started. The Hair dryer was a life-saver (because my hair is a disaster). Internet access – wireless didn't flinch. I got a room with a Window that opens! I love that! It felt amazing. They had a Desk, but I didn't actually use it. I'm more of a laptop-on-the-bed kinda gal. The beds? Meh. Functional. I thought the Mini bar was helpful, but I didn't use it. I didn't want to be drinking in a hotel room. They had a Refrigerator for the goods. The Seating area was nice. The Sofa was comfy. I got a room with a Shower. I needed the Shower to relax. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a Bathtub. I wanted to relax, but I couldn't.
For the Kids: (Not Really My Forte, But I'll Try)
Babysitting service? Kids facilities? I’m guessing it's kid-friendly. They didn’t throw off any major "stay away, children!" vibes.
Getting Around: Beyond the Room
Airport transfer was a possibility, though I didn’t need it. Car park [on-site], see above. Taxi service available, and I assume they're reliable. Good to know. CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property - safety first, which is always a plus. They've got the security bases covered, which meant I could relax a little easier knowing I was safe.
The Verdict: Is it REALLY a Secret? Probably Not, But It's Okay.
Look, the Days Inn in Beaver isn't going to win any awards for swanky elegance. It’s not the Ritz. It's… Days Inn. But it's a solid option. It's clean (mostly), accessible, and has the essentials. The staff were nice, the Wi-Fi worked, and I survived. And hey, for the price, you get a decent experience.
So, is it "best kept secret"? Nah. The secret's out. But would I stay again? Yeah, probably. Especially if I needed a quick, clean, and relatively easy stay in Beaver. Just maybe pack your own snacks.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to embark on a whirlwind – or maybe just a mildly gusty breeze – of a trip to the legendary (or at least, the “Days Inn in Beaver, Utah”) . Forget perfectly manicured itineraries. This is gonna be a hot mess, a glorious, slightly-too-detailed hot mess, and you're lucky enough to be along for the ride.
Days Inn by Wyndham Beaver, UT – The Unofficial Itinerary (Prepare for Mild Chaos)
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread in Beige
1:00 PM: Arrive in Beaver. Okay, so the drive was…long. Like, really long. And I'm starting to suspect my GPS has a vendetta against me. I swear, it tried to send me down a goat path at one point. But hey, we made it! Now… where's the Days Inn? (Checks phone…again). Found it.
1:30 PM: Check-in. The lobby is… beige. Not just beige, mind you, but aggressively beige. Like, "beige as a lifestyle" beige. The front desk person – bless her heart – seems to have seen it all. Probably. I ask for a room not overlooking the parking lot, hoping for a miracle. (Spoiler alert: miracles are hard to come by in Beige-ville).
2:00 PM: Room reconnaissance. Okay, the room isn't as beige as the lobby. It's more… cream-colored. And the carpet? Oh boy, that carpet has seen things. Years of spilled coffee, questionable stains, and maybe a ghost or two. But hey, the AC works! That's a win in my book, especially since it's probably 90 degrees in Utah already!
*(Personal Note: I'm already feeling that weird, hotel-room-induced existential dread. You know the one. What am I doing with my life? Why am I here? Did I remember to pack enough snacks?) *
3:00 PM: Exploring Beaver! I'm going to hit the road (a bit) and see what surprises this little town has to offer.
4:00 PM: A stop at the local grocery store. I needed some snacks. The selection is interesting. I got some things I want and some things I might regret.
5:00 PM: Drive around town. Driving around to see what things are. Beaver is quiet. I like it.
6:00 PM: Dinner at the local restaurant. The food was good and I am happy.
7:00 PM: Head back to the room, and then work on this itinerary.
9:00 PM: Bedtime. Maybe I'll read a bit. Probably watch some bad TV. Hotel TV is the best/worst, you know?
Day 2: The Great Outdoors (or, At Least, Looking at Them)
8:00 AM: Wake up. Coffee, obviously. Hotel coffee is… well, let's just say it’s "functional." I need to find a decent coffee shop.
9:00 AM: I really want to do something adventurous. But I should probably just rest.
10:00 AM: I'll just stay here and relax.
11:00 AM: Relax.
12:00 PM: I should get lunch
1:00 PM: I'm relaxing.
2:00 PM: Ok I'm going to do something.
3:00 PM: I really did something.
4:00 PM: Now, back to the hotel.
5:00 PM: I'm hungry. I don't know what to eat.
6:00 PM: I decided on dinner.
7:00 PM: Still in the hotel room.
8:00 PM: Now I'm going to watch TV.
9:00 PM: Sleep.
Day 3: Departure and the Unfolding Mystery
8:00 AM: Alarm clock. I hit snooze. Twice.
8:30 AM: Okay, fine, up. Check out. That beige lobby is even more beige in the harsh morning light.
9:00 AM: Last look around. Maybe visit the gift shop.
9:30 AM: Hit the road! Bye-bye, Beaver! Thanks for… the experience.
12:00 PM: Something happened during the drive.
3:00 PM: I think I figured it out.
6:00 PM: I'm just glad to be on my way home.
7:00 PM: I'm feeling something.
8:00 PM: I'm home.
(Final Thoughts: This trip was filled with imperfection. I'm okay with it I guess.)
So there you have it. My less-than-perfect, totally subjective, and probably slightly insane itinerary for the Days Inn in Beaver, Utah. Remember, folks, the real adventure isn't conquering mountains or exploring hidden gems; it's about embracing the unexpected, the slightly-off, and the pure, unfiltered messiness of life (and hotel rooms). Now go forth and make your own glorious mess!

Beaver's Best Kept Secret: Days Inn Comfort Awaits! (Or Does It?) - An FAQ (Sort Of)
Okay, seriously, is this place *really* a secret? I mean, the billboards on the highway are practically screaming for attention.
Ha! Good point. "Secret" might be a *slight* exaggeration. More like a... well, let's say a *hidden gem* that’s been, shall we say, *adequately* signposted. The secret part, I guess, is in the eye of the beholder. For me, it was a secret until, like, a Tuesday last month. My car broke down, and the tow truck driver, bless his soul, pointed me towards this "oasis of comfort." I'm still pondering the definition of "oasis," though. Let's get back to it.
What's the deal with the "Comfort Awaits!" slogan? Is it… honest?
Oof. Depends. On the day, honestly. I'll let you know the time I thought it was *all lies.* One time, the AC was on the fritz, the TV was older then me, and the "free continental breakfast" was stale bagels and instant coffee that tasted suspiciously of yesterday's sadness. I mean, come on! But then there's that *other* time... More on that later. Comfort? It's a fluctuating variable, let’s say that.
The website promises "sparkling clean rooms." True? Because my standards are, shall we say, *high*.
Ah, the dreaded "cleanliness" question. Prepare yourself for a mixed review. The first time I went, it was like a surgeon's waiting room, immaculately clean, you could eat off the floor (though I'm not recommending it). Everything gleamed, the sheets smelled of sunshine...I could actually *breathe freely*.
Then there was the *other* time… let's just say I spent a concerning amount of time contemplating the life cycle of a dust bunny under the bed. And I swear, I saw a crumb, not a huge one, but a crumb, from a week ago. So, "sparkling?" Sometimes. Bring a pack of those disinfecting wipes, just in case. It's the *thought* that counts, right?
What about the beds? Are they, you know, *actually* comfortable? I need a decent night's sleep!
Okay, the beds are… a gamble. Sometimes, you sink into a marshmallowy cloud of bliss, and wake up feeling like a reborn god. That's the good side.
Other times… This actually happened the *one time I went for a wedding*, I swear, they felt like sleeping on a sheet of plywood covered in a thin layer of sandpaper. And the pillows? Rock hard, like they were designed to knock you unconscious.
Bringing your own pillow is *highly recommended* unless you like to be mad.
Free breakfast? Details, please! Is it worth getting out of bed for?
The breakfast... oh, the breakfast. It's a performance art piece, a culinary adventure in the realm of the predictable. There is toast, blessedly, the bagels are... brave, the plastic wrapped muffins are, well, there. The coffee is strong. The juice is... orange-ish.
Honestly? It's free. So, yes. Absolutely get out of bed. Even if it's just for the people-watching.
And if you're lucky, they'll have those little individual boxes of cereal which are a nostalgic blast from the past.
*Don't get your hopes up for fresh fruit. It's more of a "fruit-adjacent" situation.*
Anything else I should know before I book? Like, anything *really* important?
Oh, yes. Several things. First, the Wi-Fi. It's... spotty. Pack a book (or three). Also, the elevators, well, they exist. Sometimes.
Then there's the *location*. It's on the outskirts of town, so you'll need a car or a really dedicated Uber driver. And remember what I said about the AC? Sometimes, it *can* get a bit warm.
Oh! And the pool! It *usually* is open. *Sometimes* it's sparkling. *Sometimes* it's closed for maintenance. Call ahead if you are picky.
Oh and! And finally, there's that other time I was there... it was after a huge snow storm... and I have NEVER experienced such a warm, cozy feeling from a place after being freezing for hours. The staff were just wonderful. Making rounds providing coffee, and actually trying to make a fun experience while everyone was stuck.
So, yeah, it's a mixed bag, but *that* one time... it earned a special place in my heart. So, you know... go in with realistic expectations, embrace the imperfections, and you might just have a decent stay. And maybe, just maybe, you'll discover your own "secret" about Beaver's Best Kept Secret. Maybe. Or maybe not. Still worth going to.
