Convenient, Clean, Affordable

I have always found that Quality Inn is a convenient, clean, and affordable location in Carbondale. A person can catch the bus nearby at the Kroger store or across the highway at Walmart. Also, there is a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant about one block down from the motel.

I liked that the hotel interior was surprisingly well kept and clean. I say surprising because the outside looked a bit worn down and dingy so I was going in a bit skeptical. Not only that the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.
