Review of Days Inn by Wyndham Charleston Historic District 2*

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! They have a scam going with a local tow truck operator. He patrols the parking lot on foot and if he sees you park in their lot and you walk away they immediately tow your car. I walked across the street to use a restroom as we had been driving for a few hours and then was walking to the office to get rates and attempt to check in and my vehicle was raised so high in the air I was concerned for my dog in the back seat. I asked what he was doing and he stated I was illegally parked and it would cost $100 cash right then or he would tow the vehicle to his shop and charge $200 to get it out. I walked around and opened my drivers door to see if my dog was ok from being so high in the air and he said I was not cooperating so he was towing the truck, with my dog in it (WHO HAS A LIFE THREATENING EATING DISORDER) and MY MEDICATION. I am an insulin dependent diabetic. He absolutely cared nothing about my dog, my belongings, or me attempting to go to the office to check rates/vacancy. I was forced to pay this thug $100 cash so I demanded a receipt and immediately went to complain to the hotel manager. The manager had absolutely nothing to say to me and it was evident that they are running a scam as the tow operator walked into the office to hear what I was saying. He was treated like an employee. The other couple, (who posted a review about this tow operator banging on their room door), was in the office complaining at the same time as me. I understand about illegal parking being a problem, etc. But you don't even get a chance here. If you don't have a parking pass hanging from your windshield YOU WILL BE TOWED IMMEDIATELY regardless if you are trying to check in or not. Complete scam/sham going on between this hotel and the tow truck operator. Truly sad and pitiful. I will be notifying Days Inn corporate about this and my loss of $100 trying to get a room here. Do not waste your money at this hotel they do not care about you or your circumstances…
