9.3
Consistently praised for being right off the interstate, convenient parking and nearby restaurants (e.g., Cracker Barrel); location is a strong positive.

Pros:

The staff was very friendly

Cons:

The bed was hard, they didnt have a elevator, and the breakfast was lacking. The price seemed high for what little was offered. The building is very dated. They shut down the lobby bathroom and work out room! The bed was very hard and not comfortable. I wouldnt stay here again.

Couldn’t stay there. Just left and traveled on. Rooms smelled like smoke and were old and dirty. Carpet had holes in it.

Safe place to sleep and very convenient to the interstate.
Pros:

I stay here a lot. It is the only hotel in Alma Arkansas that allows me to feel safe. It is clean enough. Staff is mostly friendly, with a rare exception. Parking is convenient.

Cons:

I would have liked to have the $10.00 incidental fee charged to my bank card refunded since I did not use any incidentals or leave any damage to the room I used. It's just $10.00 to Quality. For me, it's two gallons of milk for my granddaughter.

Pros:

Easy check in and check out. Friendly staff. Bed was comfortable and bathroom wasn't to small.

Cons:

Bathroom floor was dirty. It was noisy it could be due to being close to the interstate. Had a hard time finding a parking space.

Not sure if I'll come back
Pros:

I liked that the room was big

Cons:

I didnt like that there were no elevators and there was hair everywhere in the "clean" room I was given. No vending machines or anything. Couldn't take breakfast into your room. You had to eat in the food area. To basic for price

Pros:

The bed was comfortable. I liked the little pillows.

Cons:

The lobby floor and stairs were dirty. It needs to be vacuumed. Our bathroom floor was not clean. There was hair on the floor. The room needed paint touch ups. No elevator. Really??

Very nice, if we’re ever in that area again we will stay there again
Pros:

Location. Cracker Barrel next door you can walk to.

Cons:

We went to breakfast at 6:30, and there was very little hot items. No one came in to check on breakfast during the time we were in the dining area. (30 mins). Other Quality Inns we stayed at were constantly checking the breakfast items.

I had a great time and slept like a baby in their comfortable bed.
Pros:

I stay here every time I go see my sister. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is clean, though not as clean as my home. I have to make allowances because I am a clean freak. Close parking is great.

Cons:

Noisy neighbor. All night long, loud talking, banging against something in the other room. But that is not the staff's fault. Some guest just do not have any respect for other people.
