6.6/10 (1,000 reviews)
The Quality Inn is a nice property, but needed to be cleaned outside. Our room had some problems when we went there like a light that didn't work and a plugged up toilet. We called the desk and they sent maintenance right away and the maintenance person took care of the problems. The toilet plugged up again the morning we left.
