We booked our room at the last minute and we were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and clean the room was. Great showers. Very friendly staff. Breakfast was good and the hotel was quiet and clean. Definitely would stay here again.
A bit on the older side as you can see the age in the restroom the most. But nothing to discourage you from staying. I stayed one night and was 100% happy with my stay. The hot breakfast was fine. there was a good selection of different foods to choose from. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Great place to rest, clean/ quiet, geat breakfast as well.
I was STUNNED when we were charged a "flat pet fee" of $40 DESPITE our animal (sm dog) being a fully trained SERVICE ANIMAL!! WE WILL NEVER STAY WITH QUALITY AGAIN!! We have been traveling with a service dog since 2017 and have NEVER been charged a fee!! My husband's dog alerts to upcoming seizures and lays upon him following a seizure to provide "grounding" during the post seizure phase. This is reprehensible that Quality charge a fee, as this animal is as vital to my husband's well-being as a wheelchair is to someone with the inability to walk!! SHAME ON QUALITY!! The nighttime front desk staff were wonderful (& we did not argue with them about the fee, as they were only doing their job and operating under "bosses orders!") The young man in that position was extremely helpful when the microwave in our room did not work.
Not the newest and most modern place, but our room was clean and spacious. Our bed (a true king size) was very comfortable and I actually rested well which I hardly do when traveling. We only stayed 1 night, but if in town, I would try them again.
I like staying here when im in town. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly. The breakfast is better than some others. The pool wasnt as warm as it usually is the last time we were there, but that didnt stop my fish for children from having a good time.
Both the receptionist that I spoke with to book my room yesterday and the lady that checked me in were both very nice & helpful (I don’t know if they were the same person). The rooms were great for the price and did the job of getting a good night sleep in between my roadtrip.
