This is a playbook of what a budget hotel is to be like, clean, comfortable, well maintained, plenty of tv channels, a nice pool area, (I didn’t use) nor did I go for breakfast. I spent 2 nights and I wish other hotels in budget friendly price range would be like this Quality Inn!! Definitely a first choice if in this area.

The hotel was clean, the breakfast was very good. This hotel perfect location if you are visiting a student staying in a dorm on the south side of the campus. The big complaint we had is one of the outside door’s latch was taped open. Anyone get in the hotel and walk around the hallways. Not a very safe feeling!!

I liked the fact that the property was lit up all around for safety and that the office was open all night long. In case you needed someone. What I didn't like was that in the website it did not have a price for animals. Just said "pet friendly" when you got there you had to pay additional $25 per night.
