Pros:
Friendly/helpful staff (specific positive mentions)
Convenient location / easy interstate access
Comfortable bed reported by some guests
Attentive breakfast attendant
Cons:
Very poor cleanliness (dirty rooms, bathrooms, stains, fear of bed bugs)
Room maintenance issues (noisy AC, broken TV/remote, rusted fixtures, cracked toilet, no door lock)

Dining/food quality poor; hostess behavior during breakfast
Property layout/wayfinding (maze-like corridors, long walks to elevators)

Categories

Cleanliness
2
Consistently reported as very poor: multiple guests described filthy rooms and bathrooms, stains, worn-down and dirty common areas, and fears of bed bugs.
Service
8.5
Multiple reviews praise individual staff members (breakfast attendant, Mr. Fais, Ms. Ana, Ms. Gabriella) as very friendly and helpful; one cancellation incident and a rude reception encounter noted but outweighed by frequent positive service mentions.
Location
7
Generally positive: easy access to the interstate and a convenient location were mentioned; minor complaints about a confusing roundabout and signage.
Room Quality
3
Rooms reported with several issues: noisy air-conditioning, broken or missing locks, non-working remotes/TVs, cracked toilets, rusted fixtures and overall worn condition.
Amenities
5
Mixed: breakfast service staff praised, but dining/food quality and layout/wayfinding (long walks to elevators, maze-like corridors) criticized; AC and TV reliability issues affect perceived amenities.
Value for Money
3.5
Value seen as poor by guests who encountered cancellations (forced to pay much more elsewhere) and by those who felt the property was too dirty/declined for its price.
Food and Beverage
4
Food quality received negative mentions (not good) though breakfast staff were appreciated; service issues in dining (hostess complaining to guests) noted.
Overall Experience
6.2
Mixed overall: strong, helpful staff and convenient location improved stays for some guests, but severe cleanliness and room-quality problems (and an egregious cancellation experience) lowered overall satisfaction.

An ok stay
Pros:

The location
There was one staff (an old lady) at the breakfast place who was really good to us and every guest. She brought a lot of joy at the breakfast space. I enjoyed I with her and her many stories.

Cons:

The air conditioning unit was very noisy. Sleeping was a problem with the noise from the unit. Had to switch it off to sleep which made the room very uncomfortable

I didn't stay, my reservation was cancelled. Booking.com dropped the ball, I will not use again.
Pros:

Nothing!

Cons:

Before my travel dates to the Quality Inn, I confirmed my reservation on Wednesday, 10/14 and Thursday, 10/15. At no point did the staff inform me that my credit card wasn't validated and they cancelled my reservation on my day of travel, mere moments before I was going to check in. They did try to call, but I was driving and unable to answer the phone, and an email was sent, but again, I was driving. I then had to make last minute reservations at another hotel paying triple the price of my reservation. The persons at the reception desk that I spoke with were rude, and completely unhelpful. I was told the rooms were not very clean, and the television and remote control weren't working. It was highly frustrating and disappointed of how poorly they treated us. I would never recommend this hotel, and strongly suggest booking.com removes them as an option. I was also incredibly disappoint that booking.com did not sent me a notification about this discrepancy in advance of my trip. Overall, this was a horrible experience, and am seriously reconsidering using booking.com and recommending to my family and friends who travel often.

Heard rumors of horrificly bad hotels at Carrier Circle? This is it!
Pros:

The facilities management staff were incredibly nice and attentive. We overheard one being berated by the hotel manager or owner.

Cons:

The facilities and room were so dirty and wore down we were afraid to trust the food.

Pros:

The staff was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. The bed was a little firm but not uncomfortable. Bathroom water pressure was great (for me). A great night stay while traveling through the area.

Cons:

The hotel staffed helped with this and just a quirk of hotels but locating my room was a little bit of a maze.
(Not hotels issue/something they can change) I didnt like the huge ass round about to get to the road to the hotel. Felt the labels on it weren't great.

STAY AWAY. BETTER TO SPEND A FEW MORE DOLLARS TO STAY AT A DECENT HOTEL.
Pros:

The only positive thing about this property is the staff. They were all very friendly.

Cons:

This hotel shouldn't even be open for business. I understand they are under renovation right now, but my God, this was the dirtiest, most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed at. The bathroom was filthy; it was worse than a rest-stop restroom. We wouldn't even sit down on the toilet to pee because it was cracked and covered in old stains. We slept in our day clothes because we feared bed bugs. AND this was the room they switched us to because the first room was covered in bleach, and my mom slipped on the wet floor as we were coming in. Every corner of this hotel was dirty; they had beat-up sofas everywhere.

Pros:

Comfortable bed, good sized room

Cons:

Rooms very dirty and outdated. Floors in particular need a good clean. My feet were black just from walking around the room. Breakfast is absolute basic. Staff not visible to assist.

Custo-benefício e conforto das camas
Pros:

Para quem está de carro de passagem pela região compensa ficar por aqui, tem estacionamento de graça e restaurantes para escolher, sempre de carro.

Cons:

Café da manhã fraquinho, o básico e de gosto americano, nem café solúvel como opção, fica difícil para um brasileiro tomar o café americano...

Would not stay again. Would find a different place if more surgery was necessary.
Pros:

Checking in. After that. NOTHING.

Cons:

Checking went well but it was down hill after that. The room smelled, couldn’t figure out tv programming. Guide on tv was not the same as actual channels. Front desk was unable to provide hard copy of tv channels. As we had to stay two nights due to surgery, this was so bad. Air in room was so cold we had to ask for extra blankets. Couldn’t get any heat. When you walked outside to car all you could smell was marijuana being used. Maintenance person said he could do nothing about temperature of room
