We had to move rooms as the floor was soaked from the window to the wall. The bathroom was covered in hair and dirt. The walls had drywall mud on them in multiple places and the furniture was broken. It smelled like mildew. The staff was very upbeat and acted quickly to get us into a new room.

The staff was friendly and doing their best in an old, run down building. The third floor is a smoking floor except for four rooms- if you don’t smoke stay off the third. The room we were given was dirty and neglected. We requested a room change and we were moved to the first floor- which was better, but the cigarette smell permeated the building. Sheets and towels were clean, but the entire building had a neglected unkempt feeling to it. Toilet bowl wasn’t scrubbed, loose tiles in the shower floor, dirt along the walls and window frames.

TERRIBLE and DISGUSTING

We booked a double room. Took a nap in the bed and woke up with bites on my face and arms. In addition, turned in the lights in the bathroom to see a bunch of roaches. We were switched to a king room, which they said had a fold out couch; which it didn't. So a guest in our party had to sleep on a fold out bed, which was horrible. Lastly, the room they switched us to was dirty (toilet, cobwebs, and dust balls hanging from the ceiling).

General cleanliness was poor. In my room the bathroom trash was in there, in the coffee maker a used dry coffee pouch was in there, using the elevator it was always smelling of tobacco use. The front outside could be improved by cleaning and tendering the area to look smart and inviting. My stay did not meet my expectations. There were positives like the staff were very helpful. The closeness to Walmart and other shops is very convenient.

Great staff, but an older hotel with cockroaches. Our room smelled bad, like an old smoking room maybe. Bed was very uncomfortable. Won’t stay here again.

Yikes! We survived, but just barely...stay away!

This was an unfortunate choice to stay at this establishment. Both our room and our friends rooms were just not clean to a standard level (debris & dust all over and the carpets in the non-walking areas, bathrooms looked mildly like they were wiped down, the table tops were sticky and most of the walls looks like various incidents of residue spilt sporadically over them). But more importantly the rooms had very bad odours...unbearable really. Unfortunately we had travelled quite a distance and with the hall of fame weekend, much of the other surrounding accomodations were sold out or exponentially over priced. We almost didn't stay for our two nights (all the parties), but a trip to Walmart close by to secure some plastic sheets, sleeping bags, pillows and loads of assorted air fresheners...and with the AC cranked to keep the air "fresh" allowed us to "grin & bear it". No comment on the breakfast, we weren't taking any chances considering the existing experience. The rooms (ourselves & friends) we stayed in and the 3rd floor especially (terrible odour through the corridor) just should be allowable/pass suitable inspection. A very unfortunate situation, that has ultimately blacklisted any future consideration for any Quality Inn stays ever again. Hopefully the management team takes these reviews/results seriously and takes some action...not for us, but for the decent employees at the hotel who are just looking to work & not have the place shut down. Do NOT stay at this hotel!
