This hotel was very close to I-81. Check in was easy and there was plenty of parking. Perkins restaurant is right in front of the hotel, so you can walk there.I will definitely stay again.

Perfect for traveling with our dog, this property has plenty of lawn, disposable bags and receptacle, and dog-friendly rooms. There are also BBQ grills and picnic tables for travelers who need them, free breakfast, and friendly staff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend! My stay at the Quality Inn was excellent. The check-in process was fast and easy. There is a sign that explains if you pay with a debit card or prepaid credit card, a $250 incidental hold will be charged (and later returned). I paid with a credit card and was not charged any additional fees. Breakfast was simple but nice — muffins, waffles, and coffee — very American. The front desk also has a convenient refrigerator stocked with water and drinks. Staff at the front desk were professional and helpful throughout my stay. The location is also great, surrounded by all the stores you could need. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!

When I arrived to the hotel the clerk informed me that there would be a $250 deposit via my debit card for incidentals. Evidently they have had a negative xperience with a customer or some customers and felt that it was fair to charge every person $250 up front. What that means is they take $250 from every single person that rents a room, they keep that money for a week drawing interest on it, and then return it to you at their convenience. I explained to her that I was not willing to do that and in addition she did not accept either one of my debit cards that I was trying to pay for my pet fee with. I simply canceled the reservation to Expedia and got a refund and I will never stay there and I wouldn't suggest it anybody else stay there unless you have an extra $250 laying around that you don't need for 2 weeks.

Surprising & great affordable stopover right off the interstate with well-lit parking lot. Check-in was a breeze and the employee on duty was super friendly & efficient. Room was clean and pet friendly with a nice pet "rest area" with bags & disposal container.

My wife woke up with over 12-15 flea bites on each leg, there were also ants on the desk. When I told the front desk man, he did not express any regret or apology regarding the fact that the backs of her legs were covered in red bites. When I asked him about how they handled comping a guest for this sort of predicament, he said “maintenance has to check the room before we can do anything” as if he didn’t even believe what we were reporting. My first statement to him was that they were going to have to treat our room for fleas and ants, and he just responded with “I'll make a not of it”. Completely inadequate response for a business.

Not worth the money that I paid to stay at this place. It was under construction. They gave me a room that had already had some construction done to it. The wallpaper was pealing off, the toilet was broken, the bathroom was dirty and the shower didn’t drain.

Bathtub was “partially clogged”, and I say partially because we had to drain it manually with the shower diverter valve 😣 it felt so disgusting to have stagnant water while taking the bath. Also, we found a used towel behind the bathroom door, and the hand towels looked like there were used too, and lastly the floor was terribly dirty, we had to throw away our socks. I had to give 2 stars because of all of that… the reason why I didn’t give 1 star was because personnel was good, and the bed was comfortable which helps to the purpose of the hotel. The reason why we didn’t not try to change bedrooms was because we checked in close to 11pm, we were tired and we just leave it as it was.

We arrived in the pouring rain, So we didn’t pay much attention to the area around the hotel. It was convenient to the highway. It took three rooms for us to be assigned a room that was clean; the first room had hairs all over the bed covering the top sheet, the second room had multiple stains on the inside of the bed of unknown origin and hair in the bed, the third room was clean enough to sleep. The hotel did not match the reviews and images we saw when booking online. However, the staff were pleasant and ready to help us. The breakfast was basic and had fewer options than similar hotels we’ve stayed in the past, Traveling with children the breakfast was very disappointing. Would I stay here again? No, I would find another hotel.

We travel a lot and we are frequently staying at Quality Inns across the country. This one by far is worst because it attracts the wrong people. We stayed next to room that’s decided play tv and Music so loud all rooms around them couldn’t sleep. Two calls to front desk did absolutely nothing. We have never had any issues at any other Quality Inns but this place never again

Tiffany, went above and beyond and was able to fed ex them to a location that we were in, out of the country. I paid them after the fact and the efficiency and care that they gave us was beyond the norm. Wonderful people and would definitely stay in this location again.

The hotel was in a very convenient location and staff were friendly . The room was very clean which is always a relief . The only thing that let it down from my point of view was the terrible breakfast - it was almost non existent - nothing hot and what was available wasn’t either healthy or appetising . It would be better to close the dining area down and advise customers to go out for breakfast .
