The hotel now offers brand new billboards and entrance signage that showcases the new Days Inn color scheme of brilliant blues and bright yellows, and new carpeting and furniture throughout the lobby and breakfast area.

“With the new signage and landscaping on the outside our guests expect something new on the inside, said General Manager Shirley Rayhon. We didn’t want our guests to be disappointed, so we are delivering in a big way.”

Beautiful new carpeting in Schooner’s Landing and new furniture were added to show off the Key West theme where the complimentary deluxe continental breakfast bar is served. Additionally, new carpeting, paint, furniture and a new beach décor completes the lobby to offer a great first impression and welcome all of our guests. Other really exciting new features are a 90 gallon salt water aquarium and a complimentary computer work station with 24 hour access.

The most anticipated change will be a beautiful unique hand painted mural on a 10’ by 80’ wall at the center of the lobby. The mural was completed by Buddy Hale, a local artist out of Jacksonville, FL who graduated with honors from Kansas City Art Institute. Buddy started his own business, Noblelements, 10 years ago and has worked in many artistic trades such as sculpture, ceramics, woodworking, sign painting, and faux finishing. Also on Jekyll Island and most recently, Buddy has just completed a beautiful new mural at Tidelands Nature Center.

“We are so excited about offering these many improvements for our loyal returning and new guests. Not only are we doing the public areas but we are replacing carpeting, and upgrading the bedding in the guest rooms. Additionally, plans are in the works for a revamping of our north pool to include a separate kiddy pool and
hot tub,” said Ms. Rayhon.

The Days Inn & Suites is owned and operated by Budget Motels, Inc. out of Manassas, Virginia. BMI has owned this property since 1998 when a complete 4 million dollar renovation was done. These many new improvements simply support BMI’s philosophy and continued commitment to offer the best in customer service while providing a clean comfortable stay for their clientele.
