stayed at the Quality Inn Carbondale University and overall had a pleasant experience. The room was clean and comfortable, which I really appreciated. When we arrived, the receptionist wasn’t at the front desk, and I had to call the hotel for someone to come check us in. However, once he arrived, he was very friendly and helpful, which made up for the short wait. The breakfast was just okay — they offered toast, bagels, make-your-own waffles, yogurt, cereal, milk, coffee, orange juice, and a small fresh fruit basket. It was enough to start the day but could use a bit more variety. Overall, it was a clean and friendly place to stay, good for a quick trip or overnight visit.

The hotel needs major updates. It screams they don't clean. The hallways had the same piece of paper for 2 days. No one decided to pick it up. A faint smell. When our room was cleaned trash was removed but the bed covers were just pushed up to the pillows. The comfort of the bed was good. The TV remote control barely worked. Bathroom didn't feel clean and the workers were looking at us like we were ghosts. It was ok for a weekend stay just to sleep. I won't return.

On the bright side, staff were very friendly. Building seems to be in disrepair. No ceiling on overhead area where you park to check in with electrical wires hanging within reach. Our room was missing outlet cover, candy wrappers on floor, coffee maker missing tray to hold coffee (so couldn't be used) and we came across a roach in the bathroom. Alside from that, great stay.

We drove through the parking lot. Saw a drug deal and a motel that is rotting away. Paper over some windows. We had a truck full of my items that were going to have to stay in truck overnight. Did not feel safe leaving the truck in the lot. Did not check in. Went elsewhere. Lost the $, but it is so inaccurately displayed on Expedia, I don’t think I will use Expedia again
