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.

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.

Average stay overall. Doorlocks to outside door did not work causing a lockout. Room was clean but musty. Breakfast was not what was advertised. Once we finally found the location (had to ask the cleak taking a smoke break outside) we found the options were minimal and much was empty. When replenishment happened, it was frozen sausage patties and frozen eggs we had to nook and the made up more batter for the waffels. Waffel was good. Nooked egg, not so much. Just need a quick noghts sleep? It will do. Staying longer? Try to upgrade just a bit.

It looked good until we drove around to the back of the building, but she had warned us to be cautious about the pavement from truckers had damaged pavement. There was a seeer drain cap sticking up above the pavement about 6-8”, dips in pavement & som holes & a ridge we walked across that stuck up above 3”, but it was lit so we saw it. Door F entry was probably original to the building & missing deadbolt & really worn out handles, etc. the first thing we saw was the refrigerator sticking out of a cupboard caked with dust on top…figured maid had forgotten to clean it & pushed it back in.. it was clean inside fridge. The musty mildew smell made us open the window to air it out. Beds were clean checked for bedbugs, didn’t see any evidence & it was getting late for us, so we unpacked & went back to truck to get rest of st. Got back in & smelled better. Went to bathroom & noticed bottom of door was broken & possibly moisture damaged & there was mud, or? Smudge drip marks on side of tub & decided against using it. Then noticed lamp next to outside wall didn’t work & neither did one by coffee pot. Slept , woke up & was going to make coffee, couldn’t see without the light working, so grabbed my emergency flashlight out of purse. Was going to pour water into coffee maker, saw mildew& white stuff & ? Coffee grounds & decided it was too disgusting to use, so went to get it at breakfast area& saw sign that it was closed, went to the lobby & asked about it. They said that the ceiling had
