Design Alternatives Inc. takes on the Days Hotel:

In the fall of 2016, Owner of Design Alternatives Inc., Carrie Fusella, took on the task of bringing the Days Hotel in Toms River, New Jersey into the 21st Century. The hotel located only 3 miles from the beaches of the Jersey Shore was ready for the 173 room establishment to be redesigned in order to provide the most comfortable experience for their guests.

The Project, headed by Project Manager and Designer Chris Presti, began to take form in April, 2016. Construction for the renovation then began in May 2016 with a new style on the horizon throughout the hotel. Each area of the renovation was carefully designed to meet the owner’s desire of a Casual Contemporary Tropic theme blending a timeless look with the fiery spirit of the Jersey Shore.

The renovations started in the guest rooms, bringing each room back to a blank slate to build a new look with a variation of fun design elements. Starting from the bottom up, each room maintains that Casual Contemporary Tropic theme. From the custom color carpet of  Shaw’s Private Line  to  the freshly painted walls colored with a vibrant shade of Blueberry Muffin by PPG Paint, Presti brought the rooms a clean & welcoming feel that is sure to keep guest coming back for years.

The team took on a multitude of other areas throughout the hotel such as the pool area, adding some updated details like wall tile and fresh paint color in the pool area bathroom. The Days Hotel lobby also gained a cool look with shades of blue and green in the sitting area and beautiful DalTile added throughout the quarter. In addition, the pre function corridor picks up the revitalized design with new light fixtures by Dale Tiffany.

Design Alternative’s work throughout the hotel has received rave reviews, but what may just be the show stealer are the updates that were made to the hotel’s Veranda Room. Illuminated by  stunning custom chandeliers by Elegant Lighting, the Veranda room is beaming with elegance from the ceiling to the floors, which are adorn with beautiful carpeting by Shaw Hospitality.

From originally opening as a Holiday Inn in 1978, the change to the TR Hotel, and then to the final transformation as the beautiful Days Hotels that is today, this establishment is continuing to grow and evolve. With talks of renovating the ever popular Atlantis Ball Room in 2018, the Days Hotel is on it’s way to being the most desirable hotel in Ocean County, New Jersey.

“Really enjoyed our recent stay at the Days Hotel Toms River. The renovations are very nice. The bed was very comfortable and the new bath was nicely done. We were a bit disappointed that the pool was being redone during our stay but the staff made us very comfortable and are always a pleasure. Thank You Jennifer and your team.”

“My wife and i recently spent a pleasant night at the Days Hotel TR. They are near the end of a major face lift which is providing a new clean look. we stayed in one of the new rooms which we found very comfortable and convenient upgrades such as WiFi building wide, plenty of outlets in room (big +), and room refrig. comfortable desk chair to name a few. As always the staff is outstanding and more than made up for any inconveniences. we look forward to returning when completed.”
