Categories

Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews report dirty carpets, stained tubs, gray scum, visible wall damage and several reports of roaches — overall cleanliness is very poor.
Service
8.5
Mixed reports: several guests praise friendly, helpful staff and prompt responses; there are isolated but serious service failures (no one at check-in, careless front-desk handling of issues). Elevated to reflect consistently positive interactions reported by some guests while noting inconsistency.
Location
8.5
Generally described as a good location near food and shopping, though one reviewer called it 'questionable' — overall location is a clear positive for many guests.
Room Quality
4
Rooms show wear and tear: stained and ripped carpets, wallpaper and wall damage from leaks, bathroom in need of renovation, and at least one room reported missing a smoke detector.
Amenities
4
Pool frequently closed or out of service and no spa; breakfast availability is inconsistent. Positive note: some practical conveniences (e.g., allowed semi parking).
Value for Money
5
Mixed — some guests felt overcharged or had reservation/billing disputes, while others had pleasant, reasonably priced stays; scores neutral to balance varied reports.
Food and Beverage
4
Breakfast described as merely 'ok' by some but also as inadequate and unsanitary by others (little prepared food, no OJ in machine, staff brought bottled juice unsanitarily); some guests avoided eating due to cleanliness concerns.
Overall Experience
7.2
Mixed experiences: several guests had pleasant, quiet stays with helpful staff, but numerous strong negative reports (no reservation honored, roaches, hygiene issues, closed amenities) pull the overall experience down; overall leans slightly positive due to several satisfied stays.

The hotel is in a good spot as far as being close to food places and shopping. It was ok. The pool was not open and it doesn't have a spa.

Pros:

The cleanliness was fair, breakfast was ok, but when I booked on line through Choice we were quoted a price, but when we got there we were not given that price supposedly because the booking date was wrong and she had to charge the full price, but we would get our points!

Pros:

The experience was terrible, because when I arrived at the Quality Inn I was told they didn't have any reservation listed for me in their database. To make things worse they had no vacancies left, and I had to go find another hotel to stay at. I want to full refund for the price of the room. I have already submitted a dispute with my US Bank VISA credit card service about this expense.

Pros:

The room was clean. The bathroom definitely needs renovations. The mirror is in a wooden frame that is coming apart. The tub has a permanent gray scum looking area in the middle of it. Wall paper needs to be replaced. Parts of the actual walls in the room and bathroom need to be redone due to leaks.

Poor quality in Forsyth
Pros:

We opened the refridgerator and a huge roach crawled out, we eventually killed it. A smaller one was seen in the bathroom. The advertised breafast was less than adequate. It appeared to be less thsn 5 guest so it seems that a decision was made to not prepare very much. A small amount of sausage gravy was seen drying out in the bottom of the pan both days of our stay. There was no orange juice in the machine but a member of thestaff brought out a bottle for guest to serve ourselves which was unsanitary.

Pros:

After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try and thought maybe I would get lucky. NOT! Roaches in the room and bathroom. I mentioned it to front desk and he was careless. They just don’t care. The coffee maker had a thick crust of dust like it hasn’t been cleaned or used in months or a year. I didn’t dare to eat there, but I did walk by the kitchen area and the only thing working was the waffle maker. Overall gross!

Pros:

When we checked in there was nobody at the desk. The check in was not friendly, no communication.a friendly greeting would’ve made most things better. We had to ask for towels there was none in the room.
