Ehh…

Front desk worker was very friendly. Once we got to our room, we noticed our door was VERY hard to open. Come to find out the door safety device that is attached to the door frame was broken and only hanging on my one screw. The bathroom door handle was broke. The top blanket on one of the beds was visibly very dirty! Black marks all over the blanket. The beds have lights underneath that seemed to be detected by movement so they would turn on( great feature!) except they would randomly turn on in the middle of the night The room darkening shade was broken so we had the parking lot lights shining right into the room. Being someone who is used to complete darkness when sleeping, there wasn’t much sleeping. The mattress was comfortable though!

Disliked: Amenities
We were in our room a total of 5 minutes. It had the very worst odor. Stale smoke and it only got worse after we tried to move the air more with the AC. We walked out and left our keys at the desk. Very expensive hotel room that was NOT ok for guests to stay in and NEVER should have been booked. The bathroom and tub was also disgusting. Decided to just drive home after a very long night!

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the Quality Inn. The bed was very comfortable and the room had all the amenities we expect. Breakfast was also very good. The Inn does not have an elevator, which would be difficult for anyone booked on the second floor who didn't handle stairs well.
