Hotel in super bad area with homeless and drug heads BUT oddly enough it’s kept up if your just in town for a cup of coffee it’s perfect for that only REAL issue I have is the checking in at 3pm part especially if you there at 1pm and room ready they still won’t let you check in early cause they say you will be using water and electricity so the way they try to save is making you wait to check in so be prepared to sleep in car while you wait so THAT sucks! Oh and owner seems real nice but his cousins not so much

I don't know how this is a Quality Inn, toilet looks to be coming off the wall, breakfast didn't have any bacon like other locations, the dude checking me had a issue with me questioning the incidentals charge shrugging his shoulders while walking away, I will never stay here again, Does Quality Inn have any clue on hotels that are franchised ?

Room was ok, but hot water was inadequate and tv did not work well. Wouldnt come on easily and wouldnt stay on. Breakfast was terrible. No selection, eggs but no meat, very small muffins that remained in there for the entire 4 days we were there. Very tiny yogurt and very few. Watered down waffle batter. Very disappointing and will likely choose other accommodations on future trips wherever we go. Also staff difficult to talk to due to their foreign language.

The hotel and room were very clean. Bed was super comfortable and there was plenty of light in the room. Room appeared to be revently renovated with hard wood floors and nice bathrooms. Breakfast was adequate with scrambled eggs and make your own waffle option; a meat (bacon, hame, or sausage) would have been a nice addition to breakfast. Ample parking and a gym were available at this hotel. Staff was pleasant though we not quick to greet you when entering the lobby or wishing you a good day. Check out was efficient.

We did not even stay there. Checked in- loud party was going on and people outside smoking drinking. You could smell marijuana coming from the rooms. People had their doors propped open and we did not feel safe. Homeless man walking the property with a garbage bag. The back end of the property was completely abandoned with garbage, broken and boarded rooms. I went to the front desk told them l wanted to cancel my stay and get my money back and they refused, even though it was only shortly after we checked in. We did not even go in the actual room, and left after they refused yo return our money. This was completely misleading as the pictures look wonder and we were excited to stay here. Utter disgrace and disappointment on how terrible this place was.

This hotel was run down, advertises that they have a pool which they certainly do not. The photos they have posted must be from several years ago. The “hot breakfast buffet” is nothing more than a continental breakfast with soggy eggs and if you don’t get there within about the first hour you won’t even have that. The room was gross with sticky brown gunk stuck to the bathroom door and hair in the bed. They also must keep the ACs off until a guest checks in because when we entered the room the AC was off and it was so hot in the room that the first night we couldn’t sleep. If you have children I would highly recommend AGAINST staying here, there were people just standing outside their doors smoking pot. It was disheartening to have to walk our 3 and 1 year old through pot smoke.

The woman at the front desk was horrible. She was so rude, couldnt find my reservation that had already been paid for. I showed her my phone an she said its in someone else's name. Then tried to put me on 2nd floor after i put in notes about fluids being built up on my legs an i also called the hotel th week before just to make sure. She said they disnt have any more rooms on 1st floor an i said i cant be on swcond floor so i guess you will have to give me my money back. She huffed an look thru her card thing an handed me a key to a room on first floor. As i was standing there for waiting for me someone called about reservations they had made for several actors cuz she had messed it up an she told him it want her problem an hung up on him an two of them was walking dead actors.
