### Quality Inn

8/10 Good

"The rooms were very clean, i didn't care for the big gap at the bottom of the door, I think that is the design but it is a bit weird. I am not a white noise fan person, so the heater was a bit noisy for a good rest. Underground parking 6'7" height. There is only about 25 spots in the underground parking, maneuvering a 6'5" truck was tricky, spaces are meant for cars not trucks. Street parking is the only other option and there didn't appear to be any close spots with apartments in the area. Kind of a sketchy neighborhood so you would want your truck box full of stuff that is easy to grab. The staff were great and friendly. No access after 11:00 if the front desk person is busy, you have to call the number to get back in."
