Very friendly staff. Trash was overflowing in most public trash cans, (in the front of the building, parking lot, and public bathrooms). Pool was not in operations and the room sink had no stopper.

Convenient, Clean, Affordable

I have always found that Quality Inn is a convenient, clean, and affordable location in Carbondale. A person can catch the bus nearby at the Kroger store or across the highway at Walmart. Also, there is a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant about one block down from the motel.

The room smelt real musty, the toilet wasn’t cleaned properly. General upkeep seemed to be lacking. Overhaul we not happy with the experience. This was not what I expected from Quality Inns, I always look for your motels when traveling because of cleanliness and great service,and affordability. I hope this helps you in making changes at this location!

The hotel was filthy and smelled horrible. The room appeared to be alright until we started noticing the floors werent clean and I dont even know what all over the walls. My bed didn't have a fitted sheet, only 2 top sheets - which had what appeared to be pubic hair on them. Do not recommend.

Property was dirty and smelly worst hotel I ever stayed at!!! Was afraid to lay in the bed! The toilet and tub looked like it was never cleaned. A dry towel was hanging on the back of the door that was used by the previous people. I would never stay here again!!

Terrible. Took smelled like smoke. Sink, and lamp shades had stains from cigarette smoke. There was a hole by the piping of the sink. Tissue box had no tissue in it. Water pressure in the shower was nice but shower bar was broken which did not keep the curtain covering the tub- water easily got all over the floor. Hallways smelled like piss and vomit and the flooring was very uneven and bumpy. Are they even up to code?

Kind of disappointing.

The drapes were mismatch and shredded. There were muddy footprints on the tile in the hallway our entire stay. We were there for 2 days and they were never cleaned. The "continental breakfast" was a couple containers of yogurt and some toast. The room had a weird musty smell when we got into the room. We had called a week early to see if we could get an early check in, they said we could not do noon, but 1 should be no problem. When we got to town we were there around noon. I called and asked if they would be able to do a noon, the man told me no and we would not be able to do an early check in at all, even though we were told a week prior we would be able to. We ended up getting to the hotel around 1 and figured we would go in and see if they could do an early check in. He told us he did not think he would be able to, then gave us our room keys 3 minutes later. The room served the purpose of giving us a place to stay, but definitely not the best place to stay. Definitely get what you pay for here.

Safer to sleep on the street.

The hotel should be condemed. It stunk and the carpets were all stained. The pool vending machines were not working. The morning breakfast was lacking alot. The parking had garbage everywhere. I did not feel safe there. I could go on and on. This was the last time i stay at a Quality Inn.
