The usual thing you would expect from a property in the $50-$60 range. A little mold in the shower, yucky stains on the bathroom wallpaper. The room is a nice size so you at least don't feel too trapped. Iron and ironing board in the room which is nice but the iron could use a good cleaning. Curved shower rod which is always a plus for me. A micro and fridge in room which would be handy if you were going to be here more than overnight and is an unexpected bonus at this price range. Breakfast is the average cereal, toast, and pastries. I can't say I would want to stay here again but I would if I had to.

The Quality Inn on Kirkwood in Burlington, IA is a fine middle-of-the-road motel. All of the staff was very nice. It is centrally located in Burlington less than a block from the intersection of highways 34 and 61. The $10 per pet surcharge is a little steap for such a mid-grade motel. The place is a little aged and thus ragged around the edges, but everything was both clean and functional. The place DOES offer a military discount which is nice. Overall, you get a lot of amenities for just a few dollars.

Was the "Comfort Inn," has been recently renamed the "Quality Inn." This is your basic mid-level hotel. All areas we saw were very clean. It does allow pets for a $10/night charge. Is convenient to area, at the intersection of Hwys. 34 and 61. It is also within walking distance of the new "Fun City Water Park." Average decor, I think it has been recently renovated but nothing fancy. You can request rooms with a fridge and microwave which is handy. There is an outdoor pool, which is not worth the walk - think "large bathtub." Rooms are clean although somewhat small. There is also high speed internet access! The breakfast is somewhat small, but does include homemade biscuits and gravy which was a nice surprise. The breakfast area is very small and is the only "lobby." Lots of restaurants nearby - the local Chinese buffet is average. Ask for directions to El Taco Casa - excellent Mexican food near a nice put-put golf course. Manager is not friendly - not rude - but doesn't go out his way either. Price range around $65, but if you go to the website and request "Internet User Rate" it will get you down to $55. Also, some gas stations and truck stops in a 50 mile radius will carry those travel magazines and my mother-in-law found one for $35/night!! Definitely worth the trouble. Overall, nothing fancy, but good value for the price.
