Stayed two nights, very noisy from outside traffic. Breakfast was good but there is no bar or restaurant on premises, this should be removed from hotel description because there is nothing close and you are in the hood. Not sure if pool was open or not but water and area around it was gross, parking area is also on the shady side. Hotel is dated, generally our room was clean but the bathroom could use a scrubbing and painted, windows are atrocious.For sure taken off my list

Overall it was decent. Very close to downtown is what I liked. The hotel parking area could use a facelift with better lighting I like that they have cameras and security walks the parking area. The basement overflow parking area steps need cleaning. The hallway smells old. One of the elevators had a broken button. The pool is now open but needs a good scrapping and painting. The pool area could use a good power spray walls and all. They are trying to get it together I will say that.

It was decent for a no frills overnight stay but the bed was hard and the walls were dirty. There were no bedbugs and there was a complimentary breakfast. The highway noise did make it hard to get a decent rest and the pool was very small and sad. I wouldn’t feel safe walking anywhere so uber or a vehicle is a must.

Not great, too many other options !

Starting with the booking; as soon as I entered the Information I was using a gift card the room rate increased by 40+ dollars. Total scam ! Booked anyway. We were sent to the 7th floor, the hallway walls were in need of repairs, even had a large piece of shipping paper covering a 4' spot of damage. This place is obviously old and rough ! Our room wasn't any better. Patchwork on the walls , tiles that didn't fit around the tub/shower , dirty everything. We were considering just taking the loss and leaving. We brought swim suites but decided not to even go look at the pool , feeling its condition wouldn't be any better than our room and the hallways. The parking garage is also very uninviting, old and neglected. I did take a couple pictures, one of the hair laying in our shower and a couple of the filthy /half assed repairs. This is my last time ever staying at a Quality Inn, other hotels were only 20-40.00 more and worth it !
Seriously?! Im no electrician....
The steel door between rooms, didn't even fit the door jam. It obviously had been kicked in at some point paint missing from hinges never touched up.

My room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. There was a good variety of breakfast foods and the dining room was clean. My room faced the highway and a gas station so it was quite noisy each night until about 2 p.m. with loud motorcycles and cars sqealling there tires and peole shouting. On Friday night someone pulled the fire alarm on some floor above me. The alarm rang the fire dept. arrived and we all assembled out on the sidewalk at 5 a.m. Coming down the stairway it was very filthy and there was no security to help some elderly people who were really struggling to get out.

Okay for overnight stay

The room was on the tenth floor and heard traffic all night, so not a good nights sleep. Breakfast for the weekend was strict so didn’t get to experience it, same with getting coffee. Bed was comfortable but the pillows were the postage stamp size so made it uncomfortable. Internet connectivity was spotty as sites would connect and reconnect if you were lucky. Hotel was advertised as being downtown. Not being from the area I expected to be in the city, this more like on the outskirts of the city, so needless to say there wasn’t any amenities around like food since the hotel didn’t have a restaurant. Nice play to stay overnight if all you need is a place to rest but wouldn’t recommend for any extended period.
