The room was spacious, but there were tiny ants in the bathroom. We stayed 3 nights, came and went in the car during the day. On the last day when we packed up to leave, we noticed these tiny ants in the car. I killed ants for 1500 miles. I guess they got into the engine or somewhere in the car. Still finding ants days after getting home. Other than that, the hotel was fine. Breakfast needed to have scrambled eggs or omelets rather than just hard boiled eggs.

First - there is nothing 'obviously' wrong with the QI-Walnut, and the staff were vaguely helpful when help was firmly requested.

But there is nothing 'good' about this property, either. Rooms are average, and the property looks dog-eared and needs renovation. Staff are pleasant but indifferent. Location is a mixed blessing - near the freeway makes it handy to get around for appointments, but also there is some noise.

Telling details: when I check in, there was no chair at the desk in my room. Uh ...??? A chair was brought with a weak "sorry 'bout that" - I didn't seek nor need an apology, but the tone conveyed annoyance at having to come up with the chair.

The room smelled slightly musty and stale; the heater was old and even at low setting heated up the room to a near uncomfortable level.

Several metal door frames in the corridor have, over time, simply separated away from the wall where they meet the floor. Rust is evident. This is not a security risk, but looks bad.

The lobby is clean with ample copies of the USA Today for those inclined. Breakfast was ... bizarre in its minimal aspect: cold cereals, and a few donuts, and some very bad coffee. That's it. Why bother?

There were no cracked mirrors, no visibly dirty linens, or anything of that sort - but the place reeks of either no budget, or else a lack of care. The price is right, and if location is important, you won't be miserable staying here for a night on business. But for anyone on a pleasure trip, move on to another place.

I travel continuously on Southern California. I have stay in Quality inn in walnut about 7 times. Let me tell you this Quality inn in walnut is a dump. In my 8 year of traveling on business this is the first time a classify a hotel as a dump. I don’t know what the previous reviewer was smoking when he said that this hotel is one of the nicest hotels he stay inn... Yeahh Right...... I bet this is the manager or the staff trying to pump up the reviews.. Or the reviewer stay on caves. Let me tell you about my experience there 7 out of 7 times I stay in Quality inn Walnut , there something that dont not work in the rooms. Internet not working, phone, lights, fridge, ext..... what really sucks is the beds very old. 5 out 7 times that sleep on theirs beds I end up in a sink hole. It seems that most of the staff there are young people and they don’t seem to care about their jobs. One time I requested for the person who check me inn to bump up the hotel rate( from 76 to 110 ) to get extra points since the company pays for the hotel. That was a mistake this young buck started to give me and attitude, for a minute there I though I was asking to date his girl friend or something to that effect? I did left a note to the manager and I never got a reply back.
This place is a dump avoid it, now if you want to try great hotel just travel a few miles north and check out comfort inn in the city of El Monte, Wowwwww
Fairly new hotel, great staff, beautiful rooms... cleans......

NO I don’t work for them... I just travel all over southern California... on a weekly basis... I am just trying to save you some frustrations..

Good luck

We actually used this hotel with Choice points we'd earned by staying at Choice brand hotels. Most of the time I have found Choice brand average if that but this place was by far the nicest of any in their chain. Clean, clean, clean and the room was LARGE and BEAUTIFUL. The surrounding area is just so so and you do need to drive to go eat but there are LOTS of nice places within a couple miles. The free breakfast was a plus and it was not too far from the racetrack for the Nascar race. I would stay again even if it wasn't a freebee for me. Also I don't remember it being pink in color as someone else stated....it was beige.
