Have stayed here several times. Waited for 20 minutes to check in with no staff response. Found a housekeeper who tried to help. Finally left for our dinner reservation. Returned two hours later and checked in with no issues.

Disappointing
The name of "Quality" Inn is a total misnomer! The individual who checked us in (and who I attempted to communicate with on two other occasions) did little more than grunt at me. He acted in a manner indicating he was not wanting to be interacting with people at all. I booked this hotel choosing an accommodation with a separate bedroom - my husband likes to sleep in and I'm an early riser. Though there was a separate room, the door was removed. I talked with the front desk (different person) asking if the door could be returned and was told it would be checked on. Nothing. Our bathroom sink didn't drain. There was a hole in the bathroom wall from a towel rack that apparently was pulled down. I suspect it has been quite some time since the carpet had a good cleaning. When deciding on hotels in the TC area, I avoided the budget and high end. This really was a budget hotel and is on my "never again" list.

ZERO STARS!!!!!
Quality Inn is an extremely low quality hotel. My friend and I booked a double bed room for a two night stay, it costed us almost $550 for the two nights, and it was the most disgusting hotel we’ve ever stayed in. To begin with, the staff was very rude when we checked in. When we first got into the parking lot to bring our luggage in, there were multiple sketchy men staring at us and making us very uncomfortable and we felt very unsafe. When we got to our room, we noticed how dirty the room was. The counter and the bathroom were gross. There was a half used roll of toilet paper on the holder, and the “clean” towels had stains on them. The sheets and blankets on the bed didn’t feel clean and the room had a bad smell. We could hear every conversation through the walls and it was very disturbing. We noticed how dirty the floor was, so we used a baby wipe to wipe the floor and the white wipe was completely black. So disgusting!! The ice machine in the hallway was broken too and the fridge was barely cold and dirty so don’t plan on having cold drinks. One of our beds was broken, and totally slanted and very squeaky because it was literally broke. Please do not come to this hotel and waste your money and time. This hotel totally ruined our trip. We love traverse city but we do NOT love Quality Inn. Please understand that this hotel is not worth your money at all. I recommend going to Comfort Inn or quite literally anywhere else. I can not express enough how nasty this place was!!!!

After a long day I returned to the hotel very late, around 1am, and for some reason my key card was no longer working to get back into my room. I was fearful I was going to be stuck outside my room since it was so late, however I went to the front desk and amazingly there was someone there who was able to help out right away. I was very happy to have that service!

After a long day hiking the sand dunes, I was looking forward to sitting in the hot tub to soothe my muscles. However, it was broken. The pool was moderately working, but small only one maybe two family's could utilize the pool at the same time. I opted for a hot shower. The shower couldn't keep a steady temperature, it would be cold then hot. And when I went to lock up for the night, the sliding chain lock was broken off the door! Luckily the deadbolt still worked but made me feel unsafe altogether. The sheets and blankets seemed cleaned, however they reeked of women's perfume - but, maybe that's what the detergent smells like, so it could be ok. Overall, I wish I would have paid the extra money and stayed somewhere nicer.

The room was infested with spiders. They were on the bath towels, bedding and walls. The bedding was dirty with red and black stains. There was an unknown substance on the carpet when we walked into the room. We were supposed to get a king bed it ended being a full. There were tons of guests yet limited parking. There was a lot of commotion resulting in police involvement. But at least when I mentioned the problems to the front desk attendant he understood and gave us a refund. Until they have the quality match the name I wouldn’t advise staying here.

The pool and hot tub were disgusting with who knows what floating around. For what I paid for the room, I certainly didn't expect what I got. Terrible

This place would work well for a 1/2 way house. 1/2 way there already from the condition. When we left this AM, there were 2 MI state police cars blocking people in. Definately some sort of problem. Definately misrepresented on the site. Best to remove it. Even better refund us the $289 we spent to stay there as everything else was booked! This was an online reservation. Never again!

Avoid this hotel at all cost it’s disgusting
Filthy dirty and complete dis repair smelled parking lot is littered with thousands of cigarette butts garbage smashed beer cans. The rooms are cobbled together and they don’t even feel clean. They smell the Elevator was disgusting. I mentioned to the manager, and the guy just shrugged his shoulders disgrace. I live in a beautiful town and this is just an eyesore I left. There was a homeless guy dead Outside next to the pool. To charge with a charge for two nights it’s just an abomination I’d like a complete refund. I don’t know how you people can charge so much for a room and a hotel that is so disgusting. I’m very serious. I’d like to have my money back, but they have a minimum so it cost me $500 to stay in a dump. Is that what you want believe me I will Not stopping complaining about this hotel and telling people never to go to it’s disgraceful it’s an absolute dump and when the guy shrugged your shoulders, I know Doesn’t that say it all?
