Not advisable
Pros:

Dirty, locked out at 8am because you get one key, & main door was locked with no pass key access . Broken safety lock in room. No ice found, coffee maker but no creamer. More of an extended stay, people hanging around the parking lot at night, creepy! Smoking in their lawn chairs outside the doors.

Pros:

They are rennovating so things like plumbing and smells can be expected. Staff was great and gave us a different room when the tub drain backed up with yuck.
All in all we enjoyed our time there and would stay there again.

Pros:

I would not stay at this facility again nor would I recommend it to anyone I know. First, I noticed that when entering the wing that my room was on, there’s definitely a need for some TLC. My room in particular had a very musty smell that was very irritating. Another thing that really bothered me was in the parking lot, there were three broke down vehicles with flat tires and at other times I saw two other guests (I assume) that had the hoods of their cars open and we’re working on their vehicles in the parking.

Pros:

Old , was probably great 50 years ago. Paint in rooms is peeling, rugs look decrepit. No laundry facilities for guests. We rode in on motorcycles and were caught in a near monsoon. Staff doesn’t even know if there is a local laundromat nor offered use of their industrial dryer to dry our riding gear.
Many other better choices including other Days Inn in this town

Nope! Hard pass on this one.
Pros:

I have NO idea where the other pictures or reviews came from but it is NOT this hotel. This hotel is extremely dirty & run down. There are holes in the walls, mold on the ceilings, stains on pretty much everything, the walls are thick with dirt & grime. It is absolutely disgusting! We arrived at 2am, exhausted. As soon as we walked in to the room I started calling to try to find another hotel but there was no availability anywhere. We ended up sleeping in our clothes on top of the bedding. This place needs to be shut down! I should have taken more pictures because the few I have don't show even close to what the conditions actually are.

Nice and Clean
Pros:

had a great experience staying at the Quality Inn in Clinton. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The staff was especially friendly and professional—they made me feel welcome from check-in to check-out. I really appreciated the complimentary breakfast in the morning, which had a nice variety and was a great way to start the day. The location was convenient, with easy access to restaurants and local attractions. Overall, it was a great value, and I would definitely stay here again!

Pros:

I refused to stay here! The property was totally misrepresented on Expedia! The area outside the entrance was dirty, the lobby was worse. Before I would check in I asked to see the room. The hallways were dirty, there was a huge hot water heater in the hall appeared to be in use and leaking. i opened the door to the room and the smell was overpowering! The carpet was stained and dirty. I left, went to the front desk and told the clerk I would not be staying due to property conditions. I won't be dealing with Expedia again!
