Don't go!

Breakfast was cold... I stayed across from indoor pool so it was quite noisy. Bathroom light fixture was rusty and the bathroom was tiny. The WIFI was spotty and the TV service went out both times I tried to watch TV. If you have another option... stay somewhere else.

Staff was great, rooms were very clean and the breakfast was great! Trash was always in the parking lot and no cigarette butt ash trays, stop smoking in front of building, looks bad. But pool was great, it was quite and bed was comfy and tv had lots of channels. 4 and half stars and enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

The beds were not very comfortable. We were there for 2 nights. The only thing they did when they came in to clean. Um, let's make the bed. They didn't offer any clean towels. They didn't replenish coffee. Um, there was water leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom and had been so for a while. Cause the door swelled, so it don't, it wouldn't shut There was a gap underneath the door about 2 inches or more? So we were right by the pool. It was, it was noisy. We just did not have a good stay. The girl working behind the desk was very nice, though.

Will not stay again at any Quality Inn.

Hotel is old and run down. Amenities like shampoo and conditioner in shower was empty on arrival and never refilled with each days Room cleaning. Tv in room only had 6 channels that worked took a full day to correct this after informing them of the inconvenience. Offered us a different room so we packed up and moved for the last 12 hours of our stay. The owners need to invest in their business.
