Escape to Clayton, GA: Your Cozy Days Inn Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because frankly, this Escape to Clayton, GA: Your Cozy Days Inn Awaits! review is gonna be a wild ride. I’m not your typical polished travel writer, I'm more like the friend who spills all the tea, the good, the bad, and the hilariously awkward!
First off, the vibe here is… well, it’s Clayton, GA. Picture this: rolling hills, small-town charm, and maybe a few friendly (or maybe a little too friendly) locals. So, the “cozy” promised in the title? Yeah, it fits. Think grandma's house, if grandma had a penchant for… well, you get the idea.
The Good Stuff (and Some Not-So-Good Stuff)
Let's dive in, shall we? Gotta be honest, the Accessibility is okay. They say they have Facilities for disabled guests, but I didn’t exactly get to, you know, test them. It's a bit vague. The Elevator is definitely a plus, especially if you're hauling luggage (or, like me, a slightly excessive amount of snacks). Seeing as, there is not a lot of detail about the accessibility of the site on all areas.
Cleanliness and Safety - Can We Trust 'Em?
Okay, so, the big question these days: are they ACTUALLY cleaning? They claim to have the whole shebang - Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Hand sanitizer everywhere. The staff supposedly is trained in safety protocol. They even have a Doctor/nurse on call, and a First aid kit. I kinda believe it, but I also feel a little suspicious. I mean, the Room sanitization opt-out available makes you wonder if they really do it for everyone… but maybe the option is actually appreciated. I need to ask more questions on this section. Are you using Professional-grade sanitizing services, even though they seem to be present in all areas of the hotel.
The Internet – A Modern Necessity
Alright, let's face it: internet access, is, a thing now. Good news! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! And it's actually decent, unlike some hotels where you're basically tethered to the dial-up era. They offer Internet access – LAN, too, for those old-schoolers. But who uses that anymore? Wi-Fi in public areas – check. The Internet services are pretty basic, but hey, you're in Clayton, not Silicon Valley.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Feed the Beast!
Okay, now we're talking! Food. Let's start with the Breakfast [buffet]. I'll be honest, it was… well, it was a breakfast buffet. Standard fare. Cereal, pastries, maybe some sad-looking scrambled eggs. I did appreciate the Coffee/tea in restaurant—essential fuel for any adventure. They have a Restaurants, of course. The Poolside bar is nice, if you're into that sort of thing.
Important to note: there's a Snack bar for those late-night munchies, but the offerings are limited. The only downside, there is not a Vegetarian restaurant so be sure to pack some foods, if you're a vegetarian diner. I’m always looking for a decent salad, and I'm glad they have Salad in restaurant. But honestly, the thing I remembered from my stay at this place was the Bottle of water: for that reason, it was a great experience.
A Tangent Regarding the Buffet…
Okay, so picture this: I'm cruising the breakfast buffet, feeling optimistic. The scrambled eggs… well, let's just say they weren’t exactly winning any culinary competitions. But then, I saw it: a tiny, sad-looking croissant. I grabbed it. Took a bite. Disappointment. Now, I understand that it's just a hotel breakfast, but c'mon. That croissant represented so much – a lost opportunity, a dashed hope. I’m still bitter, tbh.
For the Kids (and Those Who Act Like Them)
Okay, the Family/child friendly aspect is certainly there, they have Kids meal and Babysitting service, for example. Even tho, there is a Kids facilities, sadly, it's not described.
Things to Do – Beyond the Breakfast Buffet
Alright, so you’re in Clayton, GA. What's the damage? The listing doesn't go into detail on the actual stuff. But there is some stuff.
They have a Swimming pool [outdoor]. Now, the Pool with view? That’s what I’d really care about. Maybe it’s pretty. I didn’t get around the pool.
Services and Conveniences – The Nitty-Gritty
They offer a lot, but let's be real, a lot of it is standard procedure. Daily housekeeping (thank goodness!), Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Concierge. They have a Convenience store, a Gift/souvenir shop, a Cash withdrawal, and Cashless payment service. They also have a Business facilities and Meeting/banquet facilities, for those looking to mix business with pleasure.
Amenities in Your Room – The Essentials
Let's see, what do we have? Air conditioning (bless!), a Coffee/tea maker (essential!), a Refrigerator (score!), and a Free bottled water (always appreciated!). They also boast Daily housekeeping, Desk, Hair dryer, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Linens, Mini bar, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], and a Window that opens. Oh, and the Blackout curtains, which are a life-saver after that sad croissant. The Mirror is good but I'd prefer a Mirror in the room. There is Interconnecting room(s) available, which could be useful for big families.
Getting Around
They offer Airport transfer and Taxi service. I was, however, disappointed that there was not much information on Car power charging station.
The Quirks and the Charm
Here's a truth bomb: the Days Inn in Clayton isn't perfect. It’s not the Ritz. But, it has charm! The whole motel/hotel has an outside corridor, which is my favorite, it makes you think of an 80s movie and you feel like you are in a different period (or movie.)
Overall Vibe

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Bolero, Sirmione, Italy - Your Dream Vacation Awaits!
Alright, here we go. The Days Inn by Wyndham Clayton, Georgia. Population: probably more cows than people. This ain't the Ritz, folks. This is… well, this is Clayton, and we're making the best of it. Buckle up.
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread in the Smokies (and a Surprisingly Decent Microwave Popcorn)
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The usual chaos. Delayed flight. Luggage smelling vaguely of disinfectant. Commence deep breathing exercises. Atlanta traffic is a special circle of hell. I swear, I saw a squirrel driving a minivan. Probably heading to Clayton, too.
- 4:00 PM: Finally! Arrive at the Days Inn. The sign… it's… well, it's a sign. A little faded, a little hopeful. Reception is a lovely woman named Brenda who seems genuinely happy to see me. This is a good start. Check into my room. (Spoiler alert: It's a room.)
- 4:30 PM: The room. Okay. Clean enough. The air conditioning is humming like a tortured robot. The bedspread… well, let's just say it has seen things. I suspect it's hosted entire conventions of dust bunnies. Breathe, remember Brenda's warmth, breathe.
- 5:00 PM: A quick scan of the amenities. Pool? Empty, and looks like it hasn't seen chlorine since the Reagan administration. Breakfast included? YES. Of course, the "breakfast" is… uh… "continental" being a generous term.
- 6:00 PM: I'm starving. I NEED sustenance. Head out to explore. The "downtown" of Clayton is… charmingly compact. Found a little diner. Ordered a hamburger. It was… a hamburger.
- 7:00 PM: Back at the Days Inn. Feeling a vague sense of… "what am I doing with my life?" I flip through channels on the ancient TV. I start to realize how good microwave popcorn is in these sorts of situations.
Day 2: Waterfall Whimsy and Mountain Mishaps
- 7:00 AM: The "breakfast" lived up to its not-so-high standards (stale bagels, individually wrapped processed cheese). The coffee, however, was surprisingly potent. Prepare the existential dread, I'm trying to take on the day.
- 8:00 AM: The plan: explore the mountains. This beautiful scenery will make up for the questionable hotel.
- 9:00 AM: Driving through the winding roads of the Smokies. The views are breathtaking. Seriously, stunning. This is why I came. It clears my head, it washes away the stale bagel. I feel… good.
- 10:00 AM: Found a hiking trail! Ambitious me, chose the "moderate" one. Hmm… turns out "moderate" in mountain terms means "near vertical incline". I am sweating like a pig, legs burning, lungs screaming. Stop for hydration, only have a bottle of water. I've never been more grateful for a bottle of water in my life.
- 11:00 AM: Reached the waterfall! Absolutely gorgeous! The water is cool, the air is crisp. Worth the near-death experience. Feel the cool water, close my eyes, and enjoy nature's power.
- 12:00 PM: This is where it got messy… On the way down, I slipped. Landed squarely on my… well, my dignity. (Don't worry, no serious injuries. Just bruised pride, and the distinct odor of pine needles.) I'm laughing about it now, but at the time, I was terrified. Mountain trails and my lack of coordination don't mix.
- 1:00 PM: Back at the car, battered but unbowed, I found and ate a bag of chips that had been baking under my seat, because, reasons.
- 2:00 PM: Tried to find a local restaurant. Failed. (I'm starting to wonder if there is only one diner, and that I'm the only customer.) Settling for gas station snacks.
- 3:00 PM: Nap time. Need it. The exhaustion is hitting. The humming air conditioner in my room is no longer annoying, it's a lullaby.
- 5:00 PM: Back at the diner! Second visit! This time I'm chatting with the locals. Their accents, their stories… this is what traveling is about. Making a connection.
- 6:00 PM: Back in the room. Contemplating life. My life. This trip is a good choice.
- 7:00 PM: The microwave popcorn is not quite as good as last night, and the TV is still bad.
Day 3: Farewell, Clayton (and Brenda)
- 8:00 AM: The same sad breakfast. But the coffee is still a hero.
- 9:00 AM: Checkout. Brenda, the angel of reception, asks how my stay was. I tell her it was… an experience. We laugh. Give her the best tip I can afford. This is a community, a shared experience.
- 10:00 AM: Driving away. Leaving everything behind. The mountains, the diner, Brenda… I'm a little sad to go. A little bit. But I'm also relieved.
- 1:00 PM: Back in Atlanta, stuck in traffic again. The squirrel is nowhere to be seen. But, hey, at least the air conditioning works in the car.
- 2:00 PM: The flight is boarding.
- 3:00 PM: Landing, and I'm ready for the next adventure.
Conclusion:
Clayton, Georgia, and the Days Inn: Not perfect. Far from it. But it was a real place. A place where I could breathe, laugh, and maybe even learn something about myself. And that, my friends, is what travel is all about. Or something like that. I'll probably forget all about this in about a week. But the popcorn will survive.

Escape to Clayton, GA: Your Cozy Days Inn Awaits! ...Maybe? (A Truth-Telling FAQ)
Okay, spill the tea. Is the Days Inn in Clayton, GA, REALLY "cozy"? I saw a picture of a... well, let's just say, *vintage* looking bedspread...
Alright, alright, let's be real. "Cozy" is subjective. My definition of cozy? Fireplace, fluffy blanket, maybe a puppy snuggled up. The Days Inn in Clayton? Depends. The bedspread situation... yeah, some rooms definitely have that retro vibe. Think less "cabin chic," more "grandma's spare bedroom." And you know what? Sometimes, that's *exactly* what you need. After driving for, like, a gazillion hours, that slightly faded floral pattern can feel... comforting. Like a hug from your weird but lovable aunt. And the beds? Surprisingly comfy. Don't expect a cloud, but you *will* sleep. Just maybe bring your own blanket if you're feeling fancy (and slightly germophobic, I'm not judging, I get it!).
So, the location? Clayton itself... what's the vibe? Should I pack my hiking boots or my party dress?
Clayton is... well, it's charming, but it's not exactly Vegas. Think "peaceful mountain town" with a healthy dose of "down-home hospitality." Hiking boots? Absolutely. There's hiking *everywhere*. Tons of trails, beautiful scenery. Party dress? Maybe save that for the *dinner* you'll wear with those hiking boots (unless you want an awkward photo op at the gas station, then, hey, more power to ya!). Seriously though, Clayton's all about the outdoors. Expect fresh air, friendly locals, and enough natural beauty to make you question your life choices (in a good way, hopefully). I once went to an old, *old* antique store, I swear, it smelled of time. It was so wonderfully dusty and cluttered, it felt like I was walking through a film set. I bought a silly little glass figurine, and I still have it; I think it was a good purchase!
Breakfast. The most important meal. Is the complimentary breakfast as sad as it sounds? Or is there hope?
Okay, deep breath. The breakfast. Let's be honest, it's a *Days Inn* breakfast. Don't go in expecting a Michelin-star experience. Do expect: likely, pre-packaged pastries, instant oatmeal (though sometimes the hot water machine is... temperamental), maybe some questionable sausage, and definitely those individually wrapped, rock-hard bagels. BUT! Here's the thing. It's *free*. And you're probably hungry. And, sometimes, there's a waffle maker. And warm waffles? Even slightly burnt waffles? They're still a win. So, manage your expectations, grab some coffee (which, again, might be a gamble), and focus on the fact that you're not paying extra for it. Plus, it's a good opportunity for people-watching. I once witnessed a tiny human completely demolish a mini-muffin in under 10 seconds. Incredible. And slightly terrifying.
The pool. Is it a sparkling oasis of relaxation, or a murky swamp of regret?
Ah, the pool. This is where things get... interesting. It *is* a pool. It usually has water in it. Sometimes it even feels... clean. But let's be real. It's not the Four Seasons. Inspect before you leap. Check for stray leaves and rogue insects (because nature, you know?). Pool towels? Probably. But bring your own just in case. And the best part? The *vibe*. You might have a few sun-worshippers, maybe a family with boisterous kids. Sometimes, you'll have the place to yourself. Honestly, the pool is the most unpredictable element, in my experience. Like opening a box of chocolates – you never know what you're gonna get!
Let’s talk about the staff! Are they friendly, helpful, or just trying to survive another shift?
The staff? Honestly? They're generally lovely. They're working, so, you know, remember that. They're usually pretty friendly. They'll offer towels, answer your questions (hopefully), and pretend not to notice your bedhead at breakfast. They're doing their jobs, and they're probably dealing with a million things we don't even see. Tip them! Kindness goes a long way. I once needed help with my room tv, and the guy was there in a flash, and the tv worked! I was so impressed, that I almost gave him the entire roll of quarters I had.
Seriously, what are the REAL pros and cons? Give it to me straight!
Okay, here's the unvarnished truth: **Pros:** * **Location, location, location.** Close to everything in Clayton. * **Price.** It's usually budget-friendly. * **Convenience.** Easy to find, ample parking. * **The Quirks.** The slightly-off vibe can be part of the charm. * **The staff!** They usually try their best. You can't always say that! **Cons:** * **The Decor.** (See bedspread comments above). Embrace the vintage! * **Breakfast.** Don't expect gourmet. * **Pool Vibe Variability.** Can be awesome, can be... not. * **It's a Days Inn.** Manage your expectations (I know I keep repeating myself, but it's important!). * **Noise**. Thin walls can be an issue. Bring earplugs if you're a sensitive sleeper. I *wish* I had brought mine last time. Ultimately, if you're looking for a good value, clean-ish room, and a jumping-off point for exploring Clayton and the surrounding mountains, the Days Inn is a decent choice. Just... pack your sense of humor, and maybe some Lysol wipes (just in case!), and remember that sometimes, the most memorable trips are the ones that are a little bit... imperfectly charming and honest! That's my honest take. Take that anyway you like!
Speaking of "imperfectly charming," what are the BEST things to do in Clayton besides lounging (or not lounging!) at the Days Inn?
Oh, Clayton's got plenty! Here's the short list (my personal faves included, naturally): * **Hike Amicalola Falls**: Majestic! Just unbelievably scenic. Bring water! I underestimated how hard it would be, going up, um, well, up a giant waterfall. But the pics were worth it! * **Explore Black Rock Mountain State Park:** More hiking, more views. Take your camera! I swear, I ran out of memory cards on my last trip. * **Downtown Clayton:** Cute shops, restaurants. Get some ice cream! It's a must! * **Go chasing waterfalls (literally!)**: Rabun County is waterfall heaven! Check out some waterfalls and take some pictures! * **Drive the Tallulah Gorge:** (This is a bit of a drive, but well worth it.)Ocean By H10 Hotels
