When pulling into the hotel at first glance it looked abandoned. I grew up in this town and this hotel was not like this a coupe years ago.. my son was just born about 6 months ago and i had him with us. I went to check the room first for cleanliness but not to any suprised there were food and soda stains on the walls. The beds had stains all over them. Fresh cup rings onnthe counter tops and thr bathrooms. Dont get me started. Forhow much they charge they should be ashamed for staying open.

Convenient, Clean, Affordable
I have always found that Quality Inn is a convenient, clean, and affordable location in Carbondale. A person can catch the bus nearby at the Kroger store or across the highway at Walmart. Also, there is a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant about one block down from the motel.

A good hotel for traveling on a budget. The staff was friendly and helpful in a special request while there. It was a busy time in Carbondale but they handled it with professionalism and good grace.

Good stay
I was very happy with our stay. My husband and I came for one night. It was a cheap hotel so I wasn’t expecting much but the guy at the front was nice, our room was clean, the beds were comfortable and it was quiet there. Would definitely stay again.
