Quality Inn

Are any of the Choice Hotels the greatest out there? No. But on a regular basis, they provide the best service and best value (with Holiday Inn in the same dance) available for the business and Family traveler. We chose this particular Quality Inn because of service in Schaumburg, IL and the legend carried on… I contacted Lori in the PM while rolling into Tallahassee and she carried the service legacy to the next level. On the phone she went above and beyond what was expected and topped it with the top notch personal service she provided when my wife and 2 daughters walked through the doors of the lobby. Room and hotel were clean and the service Lori provided made it a very easy decision to choose a Choice hotel one more night on the way down to the Sunshine state and one night (in Paducah, IL) on the way back! Great job Lori and Choice Hotels, I recommend you highly!

The building is older, but the rooms have been updated nicely, especially for a basic hotel chain. Flat screen TV with true HD, refrigerator, microwave… etc. The wifi, at least in our room near the office, was very fast and easy to sign onto. The water pressure was great and the shower does have the curved out rod, which is a definite plus when you are in a smaller, older bathroom. The staff were friendly.
A few negatives. I have a habit of checking the sheets as soon as I check in to make sure they have been changed. On this stay they had not. Both beds had short, curly hairs (body hairs) on the sheets. I’ve found this several times in even nicer hotels like Hilton and Marriott. Anyhow, the front desk clerk was very apologetic and have us a new room. This one had clean sheets, and the rest of the room was also very clean.
The beds slept fine for me, but I realize this is very subjective. It was middle of the road — I like soft beds, cannot stand hard beds — and this one was somewhere in between. The AC worked great! In Florida in August this is no small deal.
They do serve a free breakfast, but we did not get a chance to try it out.
Bottom line, there are not a lot of hotels to choose from in these parts. This is by far the best of the three right off the interstate (the others being a surprisingly horrible Holiday Inn Express and an Econolodge), Just check your sheets to make sure the maid didn’t get lazy and you’ll have a decent stay.
