Quality Inn & Suites University Area Reviews
5.6
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
When I stayed, it was under renovation, so the facility was not in excellent condition. Maybe the facility will improve after the renovation. The excellent staff made up for it though. They were very friendly and accommodating. I will give this a shot again though. Hopefully it will be a different experience when the construction is completed.

We read some of the reviews and we did not have the same experience. Our room was clean and the breakfast was great. I had Belgium waffles and my husband had biscuits and gravy. Did hear one person complaining about the cleanliness of their room.

Great service, clean room.
Customer service was great. The room was clean, but a little humid. I think the AC unit was alil to big, so it cooled the room fast but didnt condition the room, so it was left a little humid still. Otherwise good.
They didn’t have the correct room ready. We tried multiple other rooms, but none had what we needed. Staff member was helpful but not trained well. No breakfast available. Pool unavailable. Rooms and lobby all had strong smells
Our first room was very musty. The staff kindly gave us another room, which was better but had been a smoking room at one time. Everything felt grungy - unvaccumed, stains on bedding, stains all over the carpet, ceiling paint peeling, empty vending machines, no coffee…. We usually pick a budget hotel, but have never had one that felt this dirty. We bought Febreze and sprayed clothes after we left.
People often leave reviews when things are all bad. But I will do one for them being amazing. My family and I was stuck here until our house was ready and being new to this state we were upset about it. From the moment we walked into the doors until the moment we left everyone on the staff went above and beyond and I do mean everyone! The housekeeping lady who was so sweet. The property managers everyone was kind. Even the other people at the hotel. We felt welcome and comfortable and I just wanted to tell all of the people at this establishment that your staff is AMAZING!
Wasn't very clean. Front seat was not friendly. We had to ask for extra bedding, pillows, and towels as we had 4 people in a room but those items were not provided. The housekeeper lady was very friendly and helpful when getting the extra items for us. Our room needed a good cleaning and a few things fixed that would be simple, if they'd take the time. (Toilet paper holder, and curtains falling off the rod.)
Staff fighting, torn carpets, load noises in the halls, half the lights out. This place has it all!! This includes junkies (and maybe prostitutes I can't be sure) roaming the halls, plus drug deals in the parking lot. I am not kidding.
If you still want to stay, enjoy the loaf of bread, half container of milk and Lil' Debbie snack cakes that are put out for you at the complimentary 'breakfast'. But get there early before the Meth-Heads grab them all up.
There is no pool. There aren't even towels.
It is truly frightening and needs to be torn down. Shame on Hotels.com for allowing this to be booked on this site.

At check in the lady wasn't very pleasant. When I asked why the amount I was charged was different than what I was told, she tells me there's a 2.50 fee for credit card processing. Who still charges the consumer a processing fee? We got to the room and I immediately began checking the room for cleanliness and bed bugs. Kudos to the housekeeping staff! The room was exceptionally clean! The rooms are older and it's easy to tell that but for what you pay it can't be beat. The bed was comfortable as well! Breakfast was a little disappointing. Oh and we booked a king room for two guests but there was only one towel and one wash cloth and no bath mat. The young lady who worked later in the evening was much friendlier.

Look elsewhere...
This is not somewhere I would ever stay again. The only reason I gave one star was because the lady working the front desk was friendly. We arrived at 7PM and it was about 40 degrees outside and there was no heat turned on in the room, there were also no towels in the room... they delivered when I called. The paint in the bathroom was peeling off the ceiling in many areas, the curtains were hanging off, there was a stain on the bed spread and the lamp had crusty dirt on it. The bathroom was mostly clean are were the bed linens which is the reason I stayed. I was also travelling with a young child and didn't want to start looking, not be able to find something and then have to convince them this was safe to stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel itself is perfect if you’re on a business trip (like myself). But the staff, absolutely terrible. My first night, the attendant appeared to be drunk. Arguing in front of your customer, while on the job, not very professional. Another night, I waited almost 30 minutes at the front desk for the attendant. Only to be rudely argued with because he wasn’t present. Come to find out, it was actually the manager. I will be making a corporate complaint because it’s just unacceptable. If you’re in this kind of service, you’re expected to provide it. The cost and room are absolutely affordable and accommodating. The staff is not suitable to represent the hotel at all.
When I booked my trip to Muncie for 2 nights with my 7 year-old son, I had options and chose this hotel. Good location, good photos, I’ve stayed at a Quality Inn before, all good. It was terrible, especially for $103 + tax per night. Pretty dingy, smelly, outdated overall. The remote control had leftovers of the body fluids of the past 10 guests. There is no breakfast to speak of. Pics show hot trays for eggs and bacon, all you get is a granola bar and watered down juice. We brought our bread, luckily, but they had no butter and I had to beg for jam. The toaster doesn’t work. Instead of bfast, we thought we’d go to the pool before our 4-hour ride home, but our room key didn’t open the door. The guy at the front desk couldn’t help, said to wait for the cleaning crew to show up. We didn’t have 90 min to waste. Positive: comfy beds and quiet room, we slept well.

Checked in and unpacked and had to leave for an event. Noticed immediatly that the bathroom was covered in dirty boot debris and the shower had remnants of some kind of chemicals in it. The bathroom counter had a used soap bar on it. Laid down to watch tv about 1130 pm and the tv didnt work. We went downstairs and stff confirmed a plumber had unclogged the tub earlier. I guess they disnt check to make sure thr room eas cleaned after. We were given a room with a working tv and packed up. The next morning staff was upset that we had 'dirtied' the first room and got upset. The guy who appears to live at the hotel is very odd and we coupsnt tell if he was on something. Would not stay alone at this place as a women.
The staff was very good. There was an issue with the first room. We went back to the desk and talked to Steve about it. he gave us a different room. before he gave us the room he made sure the room was in good shape. If we make it back to the area we would stay there again. thanks again Steve for going beyond taking care of us.
