Very clean, welcoming lobby/entrance. Pet friendly was important and they have a nice grassy area for pets with a pet waste station.

Overall enjoyed the stay here; only issue of concern is one of the side doors had the latch taped in an unlocked position so anyone could easily come into the side of the hotel without a key. Otherwise we really enjoyed this hotel.

Hotel smelled like weed. Pool was nasty. You could see where people have been writing their names in the scum on the pool walls. You can tell the pool has been there along time with not a lot of up keep. If the pool was cleaner overall its not a bad place.

We stayed for two nights as a break in our travels. The staff was very helpful, the room was comfortable and the area was quiet. We always look for a comfortable chair, microwave, refrigerator (this one has a freezer -- that's a bonus) and a way to make tea.We also prefer a roll-in shower with a chair. This room had it. The pool was the right temperature and very nice with an easy walk-in stairway. It was a pleasant stay.

Where do I start the entire hotel Smell like weed the entire time we were there. The pool area had tools and extension cords plugged in all over including by the pool that we moved our self because we had young kids playing in the pool. O then we had an employee come in and tell our kids to keep the water in the pool because they were jumping in. O and to make the stay even better we found a cockroach as we were leaving. Will not be staying here again

Road trip with family and decided to spend the night to rest from driving. Since we checked in around 11pm and we carried our sleeping children into the bed we didn't notice the stains on the sheets (pretty sure they were blood stains) and pillows until that morning when we woke up. If I was single or maybe a romantic night, then I would understand but definitely not a family place.

The hotel was nice, clean, and comfortable. The indoor pool looked great although we didn't have time to use it. The beds were very comfortable, but advertised as "queen sized" and were only full sized, so although they were comfortable, my fiance and I (who are used to our king sized bed at home) ended up sleeping in separate beds for the extra space. The exterior door (which should open with a key card) was propped open with a rock so anyone could come and go...except when my Fiance went out to our vehicle in the morning and one of the employees stumbled all over himself to move the rock and get the door closed before she came back in. But thankfully she had her key card and was able to enter anyway. And then that same employee was mumbling under his breathe to the other staff behind the desk as we came down for breakfast. We were on vacation, so my Fiance was in a casual skirt and halter top, but I assure you that it was far mor modest than a swimsuit. It rather concerns me that a man that is so openly uncomfortable around a woman is working in such close proximity to the pool... But I digress, aside from the creepy little man employee who could not hold his cool in the presence of a female, I would have given our stay 4-5 stars, very comfortable

Walls and ceilings are paper thin and you here every footstep in the room on the second floor. Lustened to people partying in the next room until midnight. The bathroom sink drain was clogged. Towel racks on the wall was loose.The drain cover in the handicap accessible shower was not attached which is a tripping hazzard for a handicapped person

We had chosen this room through Expedia.com, but when we arrived the Quality Inn had no record of our reservation. We had received confirmation of our reservation on this date and a reference # which we gave to the clerk. After a few phone calls, the desk person assured us the manager would look at the situation the following week. We did get a room, but It was not a smooth check in process. Can Not recommend.

As for the hot breakfast it needs improvement, we definitely didn’t go back the second morning.
