The worst hotel I have been in. It was so bad that we left the room early evening and went to another hotel. Cleanliness is the worst. Smell terrible. Couldn’t even trust if sheets and towels are washed. Do Not Go there. Expedia: please de List from your websites. By The Way, I am usually very positive and traveled domestically and internationally. I dislike being so negative but am compelled to do it for travelers sake.

The place was scary. The security doors did not work. The building looked as if it had never had any upkeep too it. The curtains were hanging by three connectors. The bed was not bad. The walls had water damage. Could not open the bathroom door because the floor was warped. The place needs to be inspected.

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.

Property is in disrepair, entry door B, door frame has been broken, repairs were poor. Dirt, leaves and trash in the breeze way. The room was clean but not inviting. Bathroom has broken wall tile in the shower, and the drain plugs were missing from both the tub and sink. No breakfast, coffee was empty in the lobby. Will not recommend this place.

This hotel needs to be closed. It’s old and needs updated. The entire place looks beat up. Room was dirty with black mold in bathroom. Shower head was so nasty we would not use the shower. Offered free breakfast in listing, but the was no free breakfast. The court yard was also a complete mess. Quality Inn should be embarrassed to have this hotel.

Affordable and convenient to highway

Great price, but the hotel is not much to look at. Lol. The bed was just ok but the room was clean. The one thing we really liked was the restaurant connected to the hotel was delicious and convenient for a hot breakfast/dinner, we actually ate there twice. The staff was very friendly and check-in was fast and easy. If you just need a place to rest your head while on the road, I would recommend Quality Inn & Suites in Albert Lea.

I waited at the front desk for over 10 minutes without seeing a living soul. Using the Travelocity number to call hotel before anyone showed up. Poor guttering on outside our window. Rain run off came down on top of plastic air conditioner most of the night. Very hard to sleep. Shower facuets did not work properly. A child or slow moving adult could be scalded by the hot water from the malfunctioning facuet. I also slipped in the shower. The shower head was covered in lime scale. Breakfast options were poor.
