Nice clean friendly place

We just needed to get off the interstate and get some rest. I looked through Hotels.com listings and the reviews were good so we gave it a shot. Check in guy was friendly and helpful, the room was dated but clean and well laid out. The shower pressure was amazing! Over all it was good for the price and the breakfast was nice.

Darren

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very courteous and friendly, room was clean, good breakfast options. The room was spacious, but seemed empty because of a lot of unused space. Would have liked to have seen a little bit bigger TV, but it was sufficient. I would say this may not be a good option if you are a light sleeper, as it is close to a busy road with traffic throughout the night. Not a 5 star hotel, but I would say it was worth the price.

Damp room

The floor (not carpeted) was damp, air was humid even with A/C on and the shower dripped loudly. We’d been driving all day and needed a few hrs sleep before getting back on the road so we dealt with it but I would not return.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
There was many things that needed attention like chipped bathroom ceiling , cracks in ceiling molding, broken bathroom faucet , sink was dirty and it stunk like cigarettes even thou it was a no smoking room , iron holder was coming off, bathroom door was ruined at the bottom and bathroom had mold at the ceiling. The staff barely had friendliness or a smile. Only the dining room lady was so helpful and friendly. She was always ready to help and give a smile. The other workers don’t even know how to do that That's part of customer service greeting and treating customers with a smile and be friendly. I’ve been to other Quality inn. Never seen anything close to this bad condition
