Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Nice Stay!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Nice place to stay.

"Poor check in process and surprise charges."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
I reserved our room at 1pm through a reservation line. I should have known then when it took the hotel 26 minutes to answer the telephone to ask a simple question about parking. They then told the reservation person whom I was on the line with that the hotel was 1.7 miles from Delgrosso's amusement park. Definitely not the case! We did not check in until after midnight, ( my credit card was already fully charged the $176 for a one night stay) when we got to the hotel after a long day with three kids, the front desk person preceded to tell me there were not any more Queen bed rooms left and they would have to give me a king. two adults and three children in one kind bed! Seriously? Why did they give our room away after it was fully charged? After about 20 minutes at the front desk the guy finally “finds” a two bed room. THEN he ask for $100 deposit, this was never mentioned through any of the reservation process! They usually just put a hold on your card until check out, not this place! By this time it is 12:30am, with three small kids whom are exhausted. My husband has to go back out to the locked up truck to retrieve $100 we did not know anything about! He also said it would be on hold for about three days! That is absolutely ridiculous! Not sure what took so long after that but our total check in process was about 36 minutes! Absurd! I know we definitely will not stay with Quality again! I should have known when everything else in the area was books and they were not!
Jessica T. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
08-Aug-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Aug 07 to Sun Aug 08 2021 at a $131.99 average nightly rate. "Last Minute Change of Pet Policy Meant No Stay."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
We had booked prior to our attempt to stay at the hotel on July 20th and we arrived at July 24th. Upon arrival at the hotel we performed the normal check in process and informed them we had a pet due to the additional deposit. After completing the paperwork for the pet, they suddenly remembered that they do not accept pets at the hotel as of July 22nd and basically stranded me and my family (wife, two year old kid, dog and me) without a place to stay. The hotel management should have reached out to those who booked prior to the visit to inform them of this sudden policy change, which was not reflected on the hotel's website at the day of arrival. This would have complete avoided this situation and not have required us to find a new place to stay at the last minute during one of the busiest weekends in the town.
Zachary A. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
26-Jul-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Jul 24 to Sun Jul 25 2021 at a $91.99 average nightly rate. "Price of stay was cause for poor rating."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
My wife thought she was booking the stay through the hotel. Turns out it was Reservation Support. We were charged $117.84 to our Discover Card for the July 8 night stay. In the morning we got up to a statement under our door showing that $71 had been paid to the hotel by a Master Card. That difference of $46.84 must have been the profit Reservation Support made for booking the night's stay. I will be very careful in the future to know who I am dealing with. Something is not right when the booking charge is more than 50% of what the hotel makes. And to top things off, there was a sign in the lobby stating that hot breakfasts would resume on July 12.
Catherine L. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

The hotel was adequate. Clean. Comfortable bed, but older and a bit worn. The carpet was old and in need of a upgrade. The staff was very friendly and nice. The breakfast was also good.

Service was good, rooms were clean with the exception that I found a centipede in the bathroom 2X which creeped me out! However the staff was pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was an awesome value for my traveling family for our Reunion. we have stayed here before and will stay again!
