I've had some terrible hotel stays recently within the Choice Hotels chain, so this Quality Inn was a pleasant surprise.
The first thing you will notice is that it looks a little different from most Quality Inns (and trust me, as a Diamond Elite member, I've seen a LOT of them). If it looks familiar, it's because it used to be a Jameson Inn. Lovely exterior, though some better landscaping would be nice. It's winter though, so there may be more flowers at other times of the year.
But what you really want out of a hotel is a clean bed, right? This hotel returns to the Quality Inn standards, presenting a comfortable mattress, clean white sheets, fluffy pillows, a down comforter, and a gold bed scarf.
There was also a table but no desk, and your choice of a straight backed chair or an office chair. The vanity was really nice -- long counter and sink area and bright lights above the mirror.
Fridge and microwave worked well. I didn't use the coffeemaker as I bring my own. The iron was missing, but I didn't care. Lights and locks worked fine.
Electrical outlets, like in most hotels, were a bit sparse, and I ended up using the extension cord I always carry. Wifi Internet worked well, even though I was far from the main office.
I was in building three, and it was quiet, clean, well-lit, and felt safe. There was also a small area of grass for pets -- this hotel does allow dogs for an additional per night charge.
I did not eat breakfast here and doubt I will. Quality Inns are not known for great breakfasts. There are plenty of fast food places nearby as its on the main drag through town.
There is a Walgreens and Sonic very close, and Walmart is about a half a mile away on the same road.
After so many bad stays recently, I was almost ready to leave the Choice Hotels chain. This hotel changed my mind. Solid five stars. I'll be back soon. read more
