Great hotel for the price
My wife and I stayed there overnight for 1 night only. We thought that the room was very nice for what we paid. Like I said we only stayed overnight, and got in late. The desk clerk called me by name as I walked in. Very nice touch, guess I was the last reservation that hadn't shown for the night. I would recommend this hotel to friends, and would stay there again.

Convenient & Friendly
Stayed just for one night before traveling to the Phillie airport super early in the morning. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were what you'd expect for the price. I can't complain.

The good, the bad, and the really ugly
First disappointment was that we booked for the Econo Lodge but found out that it had been burned down and was therefore not in operation. We were given accomodations at the Quality Inn. The room we were allocated was not cleaned when we went in so we called the front desk about that. After waiting for about 15 minutes we went back to the front desk and they issued us with a new room. After we unpacked we discovered that the carpet on one side of the bed was soaked wet so we called agained and got transferred into a third room. The location was great and the breakfast was excellent. The overall service and location was good for the price.

decent place for a weekend
I was there with a group of friends to watch the wrestling NCAA National tournament. We just wanted a cheap place to stay. We were only there to sleep pretty much, so the place got the job done. It was quiet at night, clean enough, helpful staff, shuttle to the airport. Nothing special but I've been in worse.

The worst hotel I have stayed in
It was old and outdated. It made you feel unsafe. It gave the appearance of a place where unlawful acts were done. [...]

Horrible place to stay!!!
Room smelled clean thanks to excessive air spray, but carpet was dirty. Paint was peeling off of the toilet seat (yes, it was painted). Carpet must have been laid over holes in floor as walking across room there were multiple dips severe enough to trip. "Free continental breakfast" was provided by Hunan Garden Chinese restaurant next to hotel prior to the restaurant's own hours of operation instead of being served by the hotel itself. This was too strange for me so I passed. This hotel is in a bad area, so I'm just thankful that my car wasn't stripped or stolen during the three hours I was actually able to sleep. I would have offered my feedback to the hotel at time of checkout, but at 5:45 AM the door to the lobby was locked so I had to leave my room key in the room and drive myself to the airport. I wouldn't stay here again if you paid me.
