Hotel in super bad area with homeless and drug heads BUT oddly enough it’s kept up if your just in town for a cup of coffee it’s perfect for that only REAL issue I have is the checking in at 3pm part especially if you there at 1pm and room ready they still won’t let you check in early cause they say you will be using water and electricity so the way they try to save is making you wait to check in so be prepared to sleep in car while you wait so THAT sucks! Oh and owner seems real nice but his cousins not so much

I don't know how this is a Quality Inn, toilet looks to be coming off the wall, breakfast didn't have any bacon like other locations, the dude checking me had a issue with me questioning the incidentals charge shrugging his shoulders while walking away, I will never stay here again, Does Quality Inn have any clue on hotels that are franchised ?

Room was ok, but hot water was inadequate and tv did not work well. Wouldnt come on easily and wouldnt stay on. Breakfast was terrible. No selection, eggs but no meat, very small muffins that remained in there for the entire 4 days we were there. Very tiny yogurt and very few. Watered down waffle batter. Very disappointing and will likely choose other accommodations on future trips wherever we go. Also staff difficult to talk to due to their foreign language.
