This place is very clean and comfortable, and the price was way under everyone else and I did my lookin before bookin. And I've stayed in others around here before as well and I'd pick this one for the comfort. Cleanliness and the price, only thing I didn't like was 1 washer and 1 dryer in the entire building as far as I could see with a 10am to 10pm use time. I'm on business leave at 7am. And most times didn't get back until 9 or 10pm so I followed rules and did not use. But that the only thing I didn't like. Free breakfast every morning was nice. And was pretty good tasting. 2 thumbs up on stay over all.

There were multiple ice machines broken, so I could not get any. The room is set up oddly with a tv in the middle of the room without a mount to adjust the tilt/angle. The room is divided in half by a partial wall, so it causes tv view issues. There was no elevator in sight.

We liked breakfast. In the hotel, we saw a small dog on a leash running. Not only did it pee and poop in two different places ,It wasn't contained by the owner. Our room was in the back of the building. You could smell weed in our room and hall many times a day! Once in you could see the bathroom, it looked okay but really old. Then I saw the RED MOLD growing in crevices around the shower and shower head wasn't attached to the wall! I have pictures to substantiate this.. Also the outer door, #7,would stay open and we would check it a lot out of fear Of the people who were smoking and staying for an intervention class Here's a biggie, I needed a plunger and went for one and no one new were IT WAS! THERE'S ONLY ONE PLUNGER FOR THE WHOLE PLACE? It was finally found so I could use it. THEN A ROOM IS ONLY CLEANED AFTER 3 DAYS? ABSOLUTLY UNACCEPTABLE! I will NEVER go to a Quality Inn again and will let everyone know how bad it is.

The property around the hotel was nice and and well landscaped. The interior was in poor condition and in need of remodeling. The staff was courteous and attentive. After we checked in, including signing we would not smoke in the room, we were given our keys to a second floor room. It literally stank from cigarette smoke. We immediately requested another room which we were given. It smelled very musty, even though there was an attempt to remodel. There was a newer vinyl floor and some new fixtures but the old wooden cupboards did little to enhance the room. We had a king size bed that was butted up against the counter so you had to either climb in from the opposite side or the bottom. After checking in we went out and bought air freshner and candles. While i appreciate kind and welcoming staff (the reason we didn't complain) it is doubtful i would stay in another quality inn.

Here's my feedback on my recent stay: What I Liked: **Breakfast:** It was very convenient for me, filling, and the options were cool. **Location:** Extremely convenient for work, highway access, food, dining, and gas. What I Didn't Like: **Room Odor:** The room had a persistent unpleasant smell, like stale urine and possibly pet odor, which felt poorly masked. **Cleanliness Issues:** I found hair in the tub (emerging from a crevice) and around the base of the toilet, contributing to an overall unhygienic impression. **Room Size:** The room felt notably small.

Our room was very musty-smelling when we first came in but it was clean. We didn't ask to be moved. Bed was comfortable, shower was hot with good pressure. Breakfast was better than anticipated with egg patties, biscuits, gravy, waffles as well as the usual assortment of breads, cereals, yogurts etc. Front desk staff was friendly. Location is very good near eateries. Would definitely stay there again.

Breakfast was better than expected with eggs, sausage, potato cubes, biscuits etc. front desk staff friendly especially young woman with long brown hair. Definitely a good value.

This property was far enough away from the stadium so that it didn’t seem super busy, but close enough where it was an easy drive especially at the end of the night. The walls are a little thin, but overall, not bad for the price. Breakfast was better than most places. I’d stay here again if visiting Crew Stadium. Tons of dining and shopping options nearby.

The room was extremely small and outdated. So, outdated that is was hard to tell how clean things were. There were only a handful of TV stations that worked. The TV remote was falling apart. However, If all you need is a place to lay your head and sleep, this will work. It is reasonably priced compared to the others in the area.

Place is run down and front desk staff is not always trained well and is sometimes rude. Had issue with reservation getting double booked and it took three calls to get a person on the front desk that could handle the issue. The room was not cleaned when I returned in the evening. The bed was not made, trash was in the room, no fresh towles.

I enjoyed my stay and will be back soon.
