"The hotel is very safe. I was a woman traveling alone and I always felt safe and comfortable. Everything worked in the room. I didn’t have an issue with the bed or using anything. The fridge and microwave were great. There was hot water. I forgot to mention the issue with the bathroom before I left. There is a small hole in the ceiling above the shower.

Desk, blackout curtains, iron/ironing board, free WiFi

"Quality Inn was great as was the check in clerk. What we do not like is Expedia not backing what they promise: the hotel booking protection plan my sister paid for in case she needed to cancel...and she did but got NOTHING in a refund...we would have expected to not get the $9.00 back for the protection but she also did not get the $94.28 for her room she cancelled in plenty of time for Expedia to rent out that room with it being graduation weekend. Pitiful on Expedia's part."

"It was a great stay; the room had been freshly painted on the inside and had new flooring. The bed was clean and comfy. The quiet room was small but efficient for an overnight or weekend stay. Check-in/out was easy. The banner outside states new management; I think there will likely be outdoor makeovers to match the rooms. "
