The front staff was rude. He answered the phone while I was standing there and said he was busy and hung up the phone. I asked for pool towels. I was handed 5, then asked to put them in the pool area for the employee. My room was outside the main building, you had only stair access to get in the room. We paid for a hotel room, not a motel room. The hotub was drained and out of service. The carpet was dirty and worn in the halls. The sink in our room would give you a small stream of water. I was so unhappy with the entire experience that I checked out at 7 am the next morning. I booked a room at a different hotel and had great service in Lawrence KS. I asked for a refund on our second night stay at the Quality Inn. There was no manager to speak with. I hope I am given my refund for the second night.

This property looks nothing like the pictures on the website. It's more like a motel than a hotel. We were assigned an exterior room and when we went to find it, the door was opened (at 2 am), not unlocked, but OPENED! I didn't even have to use the handle but just gently pushed it opened fearing there would be somebody already there to ambush us. The phone didn't work, so we couldn't call the front desk, so we had to go back to the front desk, only to find another couple who had come in jist before us, complaining about other issues , showing pictures of what they'd found, etc. Rooms are very small. Bathrooms are even smaller (door scrapes the toilet when opened). It's an old, dirty property. Pay a few more bucks and save yourself from this headache. No professional, problem-solving staff. No quality on this Quality Inn, for sure!

There are two buildings. One is from the 1960’s and the other is newer and probably where the ADA rooms are located. The 1960’s building is a two story motel with about 30 rooms. The owner needs to spend some money on updating that building, or better yet, tear it down. The advertisement picture did not show the old building. Decades of layers of paint can not cover up everything. First, our toilet plumbing broke, we got moved to a different room, but then the bathroom door wouldn’t shut unless you picked it up a bit, then the plastic cover on the window heat and ac unit fell off. The people next to us had two dogs that barked for hours while the occupants were gone. We almost left for a different place, but knew we wouldn’t get a refund and decided to stick it out and remember to never stay there again. At least the bedding appeared clean and we had hot water. Also the hot tub was empty with yellow caution tape around it. We certainly did not try breakfast based off of how lousy everything was. The owners clearly don’t care about the facility.

It was less than what was advertised on the internet. It looked clean fresh but when got there it was dark dirty smelly and the pool floor had dirt on it and it’s an indoor pool. It was bad that I tried to find something in my own. I found a new holiday express that is cheaper cleaner newer and offers a great breakfast. I will not use Expedia agin
