"Was not expecting such a great experience! I've stayed in countless hotels over the years. The staff were all excellent and clearly took pride in their work and it showed. The hotel was clean and modern. The coffee bar was a nice touch. Pool was great. Breakfast was really good. Seriously one of the nicest places I've stayed in a long time. Would recommend without any hesitation."

10/10 Excellent
"Ok so google goofed with the directions to the property it said Quality Inn was Days Inn that's not good. So you arrive at the property and the outside looks like the property had been in a horror film. very outdated and really not an appealing place but for the cost you should expect it to be that way, rooms outside door looked as if it had been kicked in before go inside beds are the old style but like I said for what you pay its expected hand wash towels had stains on them but did not see that on the body towels toilets you have to hold the flushed down so everything in the bowl goes down updated wash station. A/C does work well but if its on it leaks on the floor but A/C did keep the room cool. But overall I got what I paid for did not stay for the continental breakfast so cannot comment on the food."

"My sister and I shared the apartment for a short stay. The rooms were so cute and clean. The bathroom was adorable. As soon as we exited our room, a view of the outside garden area was availe with easy access to relax and sip on a glass of wine. We loved our stay and would definitely stay there again. We would love more information on the history. We remember dining there years ago. A bar and dance lounge was added at some point. We peaked in the windows. It would be great to have something posted with history that visitors could review. In summary, it was a beautiful place and we lived staying there."
