“Tries Hard but Comes Up a Little Short”

Quality Inn

28 Nov 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

We wanted so much to like this place because the staff is outstanding and very helpful.Still, this older facility presents its guests with problems that should not happen, and the staff then has to scramble to catch up.

First, the facts. Decent location right off the interstate. Nice grounds and a really nice looking unheated pool and kiddie pool. Rooms
are relatively clean with old appointments, and the bed was not overly
comfortable.

They started by booking us into a smoking room, but were more than willing to change when we told them our nonsmoking preference. The next room was okay except when we woke up in the middle of the night and turned on the bathroom light, a bunch of little bugs headed for the hills. There also were a couple of beetles that I captured and removed. We mentioned all this to the manager the next day, and he agreed to move us upstairs, where we stayed for our last day in bug-free comfort. The manager said this sometimes happens with a first-floor unit that opens to the outdoors, as their rooms do.

Before moving, we had trohble with the room's telephone. The cord kept shorting out. We mentioned that and a repairman took care of it instantly. When our laptop would not recognize the hotel's wireless internet service, the manager on duty even let us use his laptop to check email. That's being extremely accommodating, in our book.

Breakfast is a sort of standard mini-buffet, with a waffle maker, cereal, juice, pastries, doughnuts and sausage patties. Not bad. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful.

“don't stay here”

1/2 found this review helpful

Room we requested was king n/s with micro/frig. Told N/A when checking in so took one without micro/frig. Ice machine so noisy we asked to be moved and they gave me room next to first room. Said "no way" and got room on side of parking lot. Latino in room above me up all night. Thought he might leave but he didn't. Called desk next night and they sent someone to threaten police visit. Next day we checked out--2 days early. Think they have long-term construction people living there. Bird in reception area so noisy I hated to eat free breakfast. No smiles at reception desk even on check-in. No apologies for noise. No customer service attitude. I hear the Holiday Inn Express at Wesley Chapel is decent. Had fair experience at Qinta near Busch a few years ago. Will not return to Quality Inn if they paid me.

My room was very clean. I liked the pool area. The was a Perkins next door but otherwise you needed to drive and turn around as main access to interstate was the other way.
The only disappoinment was that I had read about some nice cxomments about their breakfast. It was not all that great.
I would go to the Perkins or the Cracker Barrel

My family stayed there Memorial Day weekend. The Hotel and the room were clean. It was within 6 miles from the zoo and Busch Gardens. Hotel staff were friendly and the breakfast was great. Well worth the cost of the room. The only issues were the pool area was used for partying after 10:00 p.m.

“Good value”

2/2 found this review helpful

Older inn, but safe and clean, excellent breakfast, friendly staff. Wished we could have had larger beds than doubles, and the AC unit seemed to be disconnected somehow with its housing in the wall, letting in some moisture. But otherwise, this inn, though older and in need of some updating, was a great value. The rating above would be "above average" in its price category, but I gave it a neutral because it's certainly not as nice as more expensive and/or newer properties.
