Won’t be returning

I rarely leave reviews, but our stay at the Quality Inn was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share. First off, the pool—which was one of the main reasons we booked—was closed, with no prior warning. We were also rushed out of our room in the morning, despite being told check-out was at 11 AM. Housekeeping knocked on the door well before that and made it clear we needed to leave. Breakfast was another letdown. We were told it would be available until 11, but by 9:45 the attendant was already cleaning everything up, leaving very little to choose from. The room itself was messy and clearly not cleaned thoroughly. We found a bag of Nerds Clusters and a lone malt ball on the floor, along with random stains on the comforters. It just felt dirty and neglected. This was not the experience we expected, and we definitely won’t be returning. One star.

Cleanliness is the biggest issue at this place

Cleanliness is the biggest issue at this place. Hallways smelled, room wasn’t cleaned properly, the pillow cases were visibly dirty, one of the bed had hair in it and the sheets were clearly not changed, and we found a centipede in that bed. The other bed was less visibly dirty, so we slept in that bed. Floors were disgusting and bathroom cleanliness was average.

Just Fine

We just stayed for one night, so it was fine for that. Room was somewhat clean, but there was a sunflower seed and hairties on the ground, a small stain on the bed, and other areas were visibly dusty. Pool was open so that was nice. Property overall is average. Got an email from the general manager the night before saying we were upgraded to a room with 2 beds, but that was not the case upon check-in. Bed itself was really comfortable though. Our tv did not work in the room
