Overall for the price very nice place to stay. Looks a little sketchy from the outside but it is not at all. Wasn't a 5 star hotel or anything but it was clean, and the staff was very nice. Would definitely stay again.

We booked a room at EconoLodge and got a free upgrade to a room at the QualityInn, the nicer rooms in the same building, which was great for our family stay. Staff and service was excellent. The building itself is aged and needs better ventilation for the rooms, hallways, and breakfast area. Nice and quiet location with lots of parking.

Room was clean and smelled clean. The hallways needed to be vacuumed. The AC unit worked well enough but the room was humid. Quiet location and we did sleep well. Breakfast was better than average. The check in process was efficient.

Great staff very helpful. check-in was fast and easy. Love the convenience of the parking lot door. Rooms were very clean and well put together. He had all the amenities you needed. Breakfast was good. The coffee cup was a little tiny, but you have a coffee maker in your room. Very happy with my stay g I will be back....The only thing I didn't like was there were a lot of cigarette butt out in the parking lot.

Better than i expected!

The initial check in is confusing but our room was fine. We traveled with our daughter & dog & we had an entrance interior & exterior which was nice. The exterior can use some major cleanup but inside was good! Room was good but the frig didn't work.

Better then expected

The staff was very nice. The breakfast was surprisingly stocked and well attended to. Everything was clean. I slept very well. I will be looking into buying similar pillows. Bed was firm though as you’d expect. It is an old hotel and run down. It worked fine for our trip that had us gone a lot :)
