What guests think

At Quality Inn Newton at I-80, travellers describe a convenient stop right off the interstate with some refreshed rooms and comfortable beds, but experiences vary widely, especially around cleanliness, breakfast quality, staff responsiveness, and pool conditions.

Reports range from very clean rooms to strong odors, dirty floors, and maintenance problems like slow drains, AC noise, and door gaps. Staff are often friendly, yet multiple guests found the front desk unstaffed and breakfast poorly replenished or limited. Amenities are basic: the indoor pool can be cold, occasionally closed or unclean, and there is no elevator. Expect a simple, budget-friendly stop with inconsistent quality.

Our room wasn’t bad, our bathtub didn’t drain and we had to kill a roach. Our air conditioner kept making thumbing noises. I think the main thing was we went swimming and the pool is indoor and was freezing when it was supposed to be heated

Rooms looked like they were updated in this older hotel. No elevator. Hot breakfast was waffles, mini sausage links, and looked like microwaved egg patty. Wasn't for me. Rooms were comfortable and bed was perfect for me. Easy to find.

It was good for the price. The rooms were clean. It was lamanant floor instead of carpet, which I liked. The continental breakfast was standard. I would have preferred a carafe made coffee. It had the NesCafe machine coffee. The pool was nice but needed mild repair. The pool floor needed repainting, but that was it. The employees were nice. I enjoyed my stay.

The beds were comphy. When we checked in the front desk guy was very friendly he made sure that the family we were traveling with were on the same floor. He made sure that we knew there was no elevator. My kids went to the pool but didn’t stay long said it smelled like fish. Went to breakfast at 8:30 the waffle machine was empty there were no plates no forks there was 1 egg left in the pan. My friend went to the front desk and tld them it took them 20 min to come fill the stuff when she did finally come fill stuff it was almost as if we were bothering her sometimes actions speak louder than words. I tld the breakfast person thank you I got no response.

This was the worst hotel we stayed at in the last 16 days. No elevator to the 2nd floor. Room had a terrible musty smell plus it smelled bad thru out. No drain stopper in the sink or bath tub. When you turned the bathroom light on the fan was so loud. Checked out early no one at the front desk.

Upon entering the room we stayed in I noticed a 2" gap under every room door. This is a fire hazard and lights your room up at night and also gives you no privacy at all. Took my daughter to the pool to swim only to find out we were swimming in hair and human feces. Totally disgusting! Water didn\'t smell like chlorine at all. Went to go to bed and my daughter told me to come smell her bed, so I went over and smelled it. It was still soaking wet with urine. The bed linen and the mattress. Went up front and complained. So was moved to another room. He said this happens all the time? I think? He could barely speak any English or understand it. Told them I wanted a refund on my stay and got nothing. Do Not Stay Here. Grab bars were barely hanging on the wall by toilet. Cobwebs in every corner. Room chair looked like someone threw up on it and left it to dry.

The room was very clean. Towels were clean sheets were clean. I always bring Clorox wipes and wipe remote, light switches, and surfaces. They were clean! The wipe was not dirty at all. There are a few updates that would make this a 5 star review. A few more options on the breakfast buffet, an attachment on the bottom of the doors to the rooms (there is a gap) which makes it noisy. Our door also didn’t latch, had to push it, or pull it, to latch. I would stay again because it was clean.

The room was filthy...dirty counters (spilled makeup and sticky cup/glass rongs), dirty mirror, their notepad was even dirty. It appeared something was spilled on it? The television didn't work and the lamp quit working after i plugged in my phone charger. The room smelled like stale cigarette smoke, even though they had numerous no smoking signs. Staff was very nice, though. To be fair, I didn’t contact the front desk about these issues due to checking in late. I only stayed one night.

Rooms have nice updated hard floors and fresh paint but furniture is lacking and rest of the room and lobby feels very dated. Staff was friendly. First room I got, the card reader wasn't working so had to go back to the desk and get a new room. Location is convenient for traveling on I80 without having to pull into a city. From the outside, looks about as nice as other hotels in the area.

This hotel is exactly what I expected for the cost. The owners have try to vamp up the older hotel and it looks nice, but you can see the age. The bed was cozy and the pillows were nice. The shower was hot. It was a nice place to get my rest for the night. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. We ended up grabbing breakfast elsewhere.

Breakfast was very nice....
