Awful property. It was dirty--walked into the room and clearly the bed wasn't changed (foot print on one of the beds and the pillow was indented; the other bed had what looked like dried blood stains), trash in the garbage can, spider web dangling, spiders in the room!, lampshade had a hole... Went to the front desk and clerk said it looked like they didn't clean the room (in a manner that seemed this happens pretty regularly)--no joke! Not enough lighting in the parking lot, the building was connected to two other businesses that were shut down with boards on the windows. The place was overall disgusting-- the front desk person said they get that comment a lot!--and you don't feel safe. Also a man was cleaning out one of the guest rooms late at night with a whole/excessive pile of towels on the hallway floor. It was strange. I can tell you more about a few other odd things and a person we encountered in the hallway as we were on our way out. Shady, old, dirty place. Looks neglected. Couldn't leave fast enough. The hallways, room, building, walls, parking lot, even to a certain extent, the staff...everything didn't make you feel comfortable staying here. We demanded a refund, which Orbitz handled quickly, found another hotel late at night. We told the front desk person of our experience and they grimaced and said the Quality Inn was one of the worst hotels in the area, you don't want to stay there.

Arrived at 10pm and was told I had to wait for a room to be cleaned. After about 20 minutes I was given a room and the card would not open the door. The hall smelled of cigarette smoke, I had requested a non-smoking room. Multiple rooms had people’s belongings outside their doors, bicycles, boxes, plants etc. Wondering if this is a shelter. Lugged my suitcase back down the stairs to the front desk and was told they didn’t have anymore clean rooms so they sent me across the highway to a Ramada.

Clean room but tub wouldn't drain. Breakfast was scant to say the least. Choice of breads, cold cereal milk out of pitcher tasted funny, make your own waffles, no juice of any kind, coffee but no decaf, no coffee cups, pre-made industrial eggs and turkey sausage that was rubbery and tasted freezer burnt, from refrigerator, instructions to microwave latter, few apples and oranges. Basically enough so they could say breakfast, big disappointment. No one else in breakfast area when I arrived at 8:00am guess that should have told me something. Basically pitiful breakfast nice room. .

Old and needs a serious remodel

The hotel is old to the point it hasa musty smell. The room was not cleaned well.We found food items under the bed and the pillows smelled of smoke. At 3am our last night the fire alarm went due to an issue with the wi-fi. Also only given 2 sets of towels. Never given the wi-fi password.

Don’t stay at this place.

The building was falling apart. The grounds were not maintained at all. The bathroom faucet was broken. The grout was splattered all over the tile in the bathroom. The halls smelled musky. There was a bowl of butter behind a plant in the hallway. The carpeting and furniture were old and gross. The lady who checked us in was super nice. Breakfast was non-existent. She was the only good part of our stay! I’m pretty sure this motel was a meeting place for some working girls too.

Place was dirty and smelled bad. the stench in the hallways was horrible! Advertised free breakfast and when we asked the response was there was none because no one bought supplies. Our room still had the bag of water in the ice bucket from the previous occupant. Coffee pot in room but no cups to use it. Horrible place: never again!

Room had not been cleaned at 8 PM when we checked in. Whole facility stunk like old cigarette /mold. Room window could not be locked on this ground floor room. We did not stay there and paid for another hotel in the area. When we got home we found out that the hotel had charged our credit card $121.68 besides the booked rate for the room. Manager (LORI) will not call me back after 1 week of trying to get the $121.68 charge corrected. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE EVER STAYING AT THIS HOTEL.
