Dirty and doesn't cater to customer

Cons: dirty, not customer focused
Dirty floors (cigarette butt, trash). neither keycard worked so had to go all the way back downstairs after 11:00 pm to get new cards. Family of 4 reserved king suite with sofabed. No linens for sofa bed. Had to call downstairs. Brought 1 sheet, 2 pillows and skimpy blanket. Had to send back down for 2nd sheet. Only 2 towels/washcloths. Had to send back down for 2 more sets. In the morning, complained of dirtiness and frustration with having booked the room for 4 people yet they "stocked" it for only two. Was told that their POLICY was to not put extra linens in the room. I told her - she knew that there were 4 people booked for the room. She said they followed POLICY. Obviously, they don't look to see WHO is booking their rooms and consequently, they don't take care of their customers. My POLICY will be to never go to another Quality Inn, if that is their POLICY. What a pain.

only if nothing there is absolutely nothing available anywhere

Requested a suite with a sofa bed;so my grandaughters had their own space to sleep.Opened the sofa bed...OMG...Soiled linen and blood stains on the mattress.Needless to say we managed with all of us sharing the other beds;but word of advise...Open the sofa bed and look at as soon as you check in;don't wait until you decide to turn in for the night.

Don't do it!

I just stayed in this hotel on August 13th. While the staff was very helpful and friendly, it did not make up for the poor condition of the hotel. The entire hotel had a musty smell to it and all of the carpets were severly stained. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, bathroom was dirty and window looked like it had never been cleaned. I stay in hotels 2 or 3 times per month, and have been doing this for years, and this is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Check out the Ramada Inn wich is right next door. Very nice facility and costs just a few dollars more.

Good Stay for a family overnight

We were travelling through Waterloo and looking for a clean, comfortable place to get a good night's sleep before continuing our journey. While the room was just average, the breakfast the next morning was beyond our expectations. Advertised as a continental breakfast, it was much more. For this reason, we would definitely stay again!

When In WATERLOO you must stay here!

If you are there on vacation, like my brother and I were, it was walking distance to many bars. Also there is great gentlemens club FLIRTS right down the street. We had a great time and we felt safe walking down the street

Nice Place, BAD soundproofing.

This was a very nice facility, not the best of locations, but didn't feel at all unsafe. The staff was awesome, had drunks show up at 1:00 am in the next room, and as I said, NO soundproofing in the entire inn. Could only handle them for about 30 minutes, had to call front desk, they handled it immediately. Didn't have that to deal with again till they started vomiting at about 6:00 am, as I said NO soundproofing. I could hear car doors shutting, and I was on the fourth floor. I stay at motel on average twice a month, and I have never seen a inn quite as noisy as this one. This is the ONLY reason I would not stay at this facility again, but overall a good experience. Like I said staff was great from check in to check out.

Never staying there again

It was dirty, uncomfortable, and in an unsafe area. What was supposed to be a romantic weekend was awful.
