Top Darlington Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Florence Civic Center

Quality Inn & Suites Florence Civic Center

8/10 Good
"This is our third stay at this property. We use this as a one night stopover on our to Florida. The staff are all very courteous, friendly, and professional. You couldn’t ask for a more engaging and helpful hotel staff. My issue with this trip was the location of our room. We were in Room 111. Unfortunately, the ice machine sits between rooms 110 and 111 on the opposite wall. At 4:30 am and 6:30 am, we were awakened by other guests using the ice machine. We also had the misfortune of having a group of guests having a loud conversation outside our door at 12:30 am. I realize this isn’t the fault of the hotel, but for our one night stay, we had three separate interruptions of our sleep. This is a nice, economical hotel to visit and we will stay there again, but will request a room in the back of the hotel and hope for more courteous guests as neighbors."
