What guests think

Reviews of Quality Inn describe generally clean, budget-friendly rooms and friendly staff, with convenient highway and airport access, but a dated property where noise from traffic or other guests, inconsistent service, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness issues affect some stays.

Parking is easy, though several guests found the entrance signage and lighting hard to spot. Breakfast is included and often considered good value, but the room can be crowded and a 7 a.m. start is late for early departures. Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay.

Close access to Highway 8 and only about 15 minutes drive to Waterloo University. Two main drawbacks - bathroom sink in room very slow to drain (partially clogged), more importantly the inn’s vehicle entrance (off King Street East) not very obvious to see by arriving drivers and could easily be missed. There should be better signage at the road entrance and with good lighting (there is no lighting now at all) to make the entrance noticeable to arriving vehicles. This is a safety issue as well. Decent free breakfast with diligent staff who cleans vacated tables promptly, which is nice. Decent parking facility. Will stay there again in future visits to Kitchener/Waterloo.

Will never stay at any of this branded hotel chain again as their properties are derelict at best… and their fix was a joke… did I mention the mouse that ran through the room…. Disgusting

It was a comfy bed, great staff. Great location and amenities. Cleanliness: The rugs were stained, the table lamps shade super stained, grout in washroom and around faucets, backsplash quite dirty. I had to buy Lysol wipes to clean several areas of the room including a very dirty remote control. Bathroom door would not close properly and shower water pressure was not strong. Old faucets, lamps. Entrance to hotel was very tricky to find and not clear signage which made it harder to find at night. Having some benches by the front entrance would be a good idea for those waiting for visitors, taxis and just wanting to get a bit of fresh air. There was a patio type area out in the back but it was constantly being used by smokers.

I waited 15 minutes to check in because there was no one at reception. The curtains in the room were shabby and not entirely on curtain hooks. The breakfast was disappointing compared to other similar hotel experiences and no staff were present. My feeling is the hotel is understaffed. Or the reception desk wouldn't have been untended and easy fixes like the curtains would be addressed. The room did serve me well and the bed and bedding were comfortable.

The customer interaction from the front desk was extremely poor. It should be professional whether the customer missed a required payment card. The customer asked the staff if the payment deposit went through, and the staff rushed the customer to insert the credit card into the machine. The customer service should be improved.

We needed to stay another night so booked ok your app. Went down to office and co firmed and could keep same room . Manager advised all in order. Next day I was at an appointment in AM. A man from the total basically barges into our room and told my wife to gather or stuff and get out. She explained we had reservation to no avail. She went to office who couldn’t carriage anything ( in competent) and she explained we we were paying for a confirmed room with same card . Still basically wouldn’t Listen we had to go. Finally advised I was on my way back. Came back and asked them to pulll up our reservation and there it was!!!! No apology - nothing but continued arrogance. Worst travel experience of my life. Wife humiliated in public.

Check in was horrible! Was called at 6pm while traveling 5 hours to this hotel to be told my visa debit didn’t go through… of course it didn’t it was a reservation to pay at the property when I arrived. They told me if I did not provide a valid card for them to process now because they were “busy” they would cancel my 2 night reservation! Very unprofessional and did not give one care that we were a few hours away yet, I quickly obliged but trust me if I had another alternative I would have cancelled myself. I’m an avid traveler for sports with my family and I will NEVER use a Quality Inn again!

I feel like I can't complain too much given the price; we knew it was budget going in. But when you factor in a taxi to/from the airport, buying dinner etc. I wish I'd just spent a bit more money elsewhere. The staff are doing their best but the property needs a refurb, stained walls, ripped curtains etc. The breakfast was pretty good but the dining room too small so we ended up on lobby chairs with no table.
