Staff was nice. Rooms are dated. No elevator so if you have trouble with stairs, make sure to get first floor. The second floor hallway smelled of Cury and was very over powering. Made my wife nauseous.

I have been there twice before and this is the third time I have gone there. It seems like the building has gone down hill since I last been there. The door to the room was weird where you had to pull up the handle to open. And to get in the entrance near my room you had to jiggle the card in and out just to get the door to unlock. Overall not impressed this go around

Staff was nice. Room was quiet despite being on the first floor. The hotel is getting old but still comfortable. Good, if you just need a place to sleep.
My 3 night stay was pretty average. Checked for infestation and found none. Nothing in the room was broken. Plenty of toiletries and linens provided. The manual door lock from inside the room wouldn't latch and stay locked. My non-smoking room smelled of cigarettes with a cinnamon cover up scent. Was a very confusing smell. Oh well, can't smell it when I sleep.
I reserved two rooms with one person in each and received a confirmation from Hotels.com for just that. Quality Inn gave us two rooms when we got there, but then called me down to let me know that they only had a reservation for one room with two people and needed one of the rooms back. NO ONE at Quality Inn spoke English well enough to contact Hotels.com but kept telling me to call. What good would that do? We still needed another room. Lobby wreaked of curry and rooms were not completely clean anyway. Now I’m fighting for a refund since the card I used for the reservation has been charged as well as the one I used at check in and we were told we would both be refunded. Total poop show.
Room was disgusting. Dead mice, bugs, bathroom and counters didn't look cleaned. Appliances were not installed or operable. Front desk acted like they didn't understand until they were taken to the room and physically shown the dead mice in the sticky traps they laid out. Photos will not upload. I have them as proof of the heath hazzard that was in that room.
