Staff was very friendly and helpful. Property was in very poor condition. Room has cobwebs in ceiling in corner by door. Floor was dirty. Trash cans around building were routinely overflowing, cigarette butts in several locations. On first walk to our room (upstairs), rough group of guys sitting on stairs drinking beer, cussing, smoking. Light switch in room non-operational, known to turn on lamp missing. Hair on bathroom floor in corners upon first arrival. Shower was very nice though.

I booked this room on the wrong day. I canceled it on the very next day. I still have yet to receive my refund for the room. I called quality Inn about my refund and I was called dumb by the person who works there. I will never use Expedia again and I definitely won’t ever book a quality in.

This property was surprisingly pleasant, especially for the excellent price! The area is decent but there were a few people hanging around the property that were not staying there. Check in was great and all staff were friendly!

Older property; doors open to outside, rooms are quite small. Moreover, while I realize that a motel can't select its clientele, this facility seems to have been chosen by a large number of certain motorcycle types. So if you like to be awakened at 2:00 am by inconsiderate LOUD Harleys, then this is the place for you.

Convenient to the downtown area. Older hotel, needs some ground work. Room was clean. Staff very nice and helpful. Would stay there again, but hope to see some improvements.
