Trivia

  • On March 31, 1995, Yolanda Saldívar murdered Tejano singer Selena in a Days Inn motel room in Corpus Christi, Texas.
  • The original name of the chain was 8 Days Inn with a large number "8" in the sunburst area of the marquee sign.
  • Through the 1970's hotel guests could take home the Bible from their guest rooms for free. (In practice, though, most hotels will not object to a guest doing so.)
  • A large number of Days Inn locations are older hotels that were formerly franchises of more upscale chains such as Holiday Inn and Ramada.
  • During the chain's early years, many Days Inns featured Tasty World Restaurants and Gift Shops, along with on-site gasoline pumps to sell unbranded fuel to motel guests at lower prices than nearby Texaco or Exxon stations. During the first energy crisis of 1973-74 when gasoline rationing was prevalent in many areas of the U.S., Days Inn guests could not only reserve lodging but also a few gallons of gasoline for their vehicles upon checking in.
