[edit] History
Days Inn was founded in 1970 on Tybee Island, Georgia by the late Cecil B. Day, a real estate developer who later achieved note as a prominent Christian philanthropist. Two of Day's sons have pursued careers in politics. Clint Day served as a member of the Georgia State Senate and ran unsuccessfully for Lieutenant Governor. Burke Day, a Tybee Island author who wrote a biography of his father, serves as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives.
One of the first successful hotel brands, Days Inns of America Inc. began franchising hotels in 1972 and within eight years created a system of more than 300 hotels in the United States and Canada. There are now more than 1900 Days Inn hotels worldwide, serving millions of guests each year.
The brand is now owned by Wyndham Worldwide and is in the process of a major upgrade, offering free amenities such as a Daybreak Breakfast and High Speed Internet. It's also a member of TripRewards, the world's largest hotel rewards program.
