Well when the first bug crawled across the floor I took care of it but didn't worry too much about it. Then when the kids saw a big black bug crawling around in the bath tub I started taking a closer look. Turned on the lamp and in the corner was a group of 7 spider egg sacks and a... more

I don't know if the problem I experienced is just at this particular Quality Inn or if it is a corporate policy, but I think all travelers should be aware of it. While staying at Quality Inn, Newton, Iowa, October 3, 2007 both my cousin and I could only use our cell phones outside in the parking lot which is... more

We stayed at this hotel because of experiences with other Holiday Inn Express hotels, but we found that there are often obvious differences within hotel chains. This hotel was in the process of being cleaned throughout the facility when we checked in around 4pm. We found garbage bags and boxes piled in the hallways and supplies strewn about the breakfast... more
