Once again readers, I thrilled with my stay in a small "Inn" which offered me everything I needed at a very reasonable rate. Food, parking, great Internet, breakfast in the morning, comfortable bed and spotless bathroom. Yes there are newer hotels close by but the Quality Inn Waddling Dog offers travelers a true "inn" experience. A room that has charm! More

Waddling Dog is a treat in our view. Yes the "residents' lounge" furniture is worn -- and there are 2 or three patterns in sight at any given time. Feels like grandpa's in Hertford England! (complete with basset hound.) We have family living around the corner and they join us in the evening; we have dinner in the hotel and... More

Very nice hotel, friendly staff and dog "John" welcomes you at the desk. Lots of character in the architecture, very cosy. More

Rooms, lobby and breakfast area all need to be refurbished. Service was fine. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast left something to be desired (hard boiled eggs, toast , sad looking fruit, cold cereal and coffee) What can I say....This hotel has definitely seen better days. Needs to have a whole new facelift or torn down and start over. The location was... More
