Second Quality Inn in a row lacking quality For the second night in a row, I checked into a Quality Inn that had a decent-looking lobby thinking things would be fine. As I left the lobby to go to my room, the people in line behind me told the clerk that they needed a different room, as theirs was "filthy" and "stunk like marijuana". Oh, no... not again... Well, I don't think they got much happier with their new room, which was just a couple doors down from mine, because my initial reaction was "Second dive in two days." Generally outdated, grungy, no fault of the housekeeping staff, just poorly maintained in general. Also, I made this reservation by phone on the morning of my stay, and the associate I spoke with mentioned that I could "enjoy the pool"... I didn't plan to use the pool, and a good thing too, because all over the lobby there are signs apologizing that the pool is "closed indefinitely" and that if it's a problem to let them know before checking in. No problem for me, but they might want to let the Reservations folks know of their status so they won't go promising things that aren't there. At least the internet worked at this one. As others have mentioned, room access is all outside-only and there are no elevators. Parking is all the way around the building, which is inconvenient to those with mobility issues, and in the morning I found (and reported) three vehicles in handicapped spaces that had no plate or placard. The clerk didn't sound surprised. I remember a few years ago when the Econolodge and Rodeway levels could be a bit of a gamble, but I would use them on long trips to save money. However, at the Quality level you almost never got let down. This stay at least saved me some money, because I was "only" ten hours from home and decided to drive through rather than risk booking a third dive.
