The City of Port Huron has changed its tune a little after red-tagging rooms and threatening to shut down the Days Inn by Wyndham Hotel on Pine Grove Avenue in Port Huron. The motel now has a little more time to clean up its act.
The Days Inn has been under intense scrutiny by both City Code Enforcement, Law Enforcement, and the neighborhood. The blighted and crime-ridden property has been given more time to get things in order and a court-ordered shutdown has been postponed.
City officials met with the owners of the Days Inn property, along with the Fire Marshall and the City Attorney, to discuss the persistent problems and to look for solutions.
City Manager James Freed reported that he believed the meeting was fruitful and the expectations were made clear. The new property owners have demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvements to the property and to their business practices.
The Days Inn has room remodeling underway and is adhering to the Consent Agreement. It is currently still red-tagged and has very low customer reviews, but the City remains hopeful that the business will be brought into compliance.
