    Quality Inn - Crap pillows

    Quality Inn

    As a Yelp reviewer, I'm not usually on the low end of a rating scale but I must confess I'm a wee…read morebit baffled by the 5-star love for what is a perfectly fine but definitely not stellar hotel experience here in the otherwise lovely Rochester, Indiana. This Quality Inn used to be a Comfort Inn, a fact that is apparent from some of the local decor and other hotel features. It appears it never quite entirely switched over - either due to cost or simply lack of investment in completing the switch. On the flip side, the front lobby decor is warm and welcoming even if it is primarily cosmetic. Rochester has only three motel/hotel options with two being right next to each other - this hotel and the Super 8. The Super 8, at least from the outside, looks newer and fresher. However, I had to laugh because every time I looked over there I could see an employee out front smoking. On the flip side, at Quality Inn the employees were either inside working, inside watching their satellite television channels, or outside taking care of a cat and her recently born family of kittens that seemed to have been adopted by hotel employees until a better home option could be located. If there's a key reason to stay at Quality Inn, it's the employees. They were friendly and welcoming across the board. They were always helpful - frequently arriving at their front door to open it for me even before I had a chance. While the front entrance is old school - for example, non-automatic doors and a worn, slightly broken curb cut - the employees definitely poured on that sense of welcome. The accessible room was mostly workable, though the room was relatively small and the furniture made it a tad difficult for someone in a wheelchair to get through the room. I kept thinking it would likely be difficult for someone in a larger power wheelchair. Quality Inn offers free wifi, a free hot breakfast, is pet friendly, and has both a small fitness center and a business center. I was impressed that when someone needed to print something, a hotel employee even unhooked their own printer and brought it over to make that happen. While the hotel is close to retail and restaurant options, the parking lot/street around the hotel could sure use an upgrade. It was a difficult wheel in a wheelchair due to your usual wear and tear. I'm also baffled why there's been no effort to create a connecting path between the Wal-Mart next door and the two hotels. It's an obvious benefit. While I realize most who walk would just walk across the culvert, that is more challenging than it needs to be. There's a McDonald's at the front of the parking lot, hence the street name, though be warned I was informed by locals they have an established reputation for slow, questionable service. They are also one of the test sites for the self-serve kiosks and I sat there a couple times smiling as locals clearly aren't happy about it. The breakfast nook area offers your average breakfast, though, it's not really very wheelchair friendly with the tight space having multiple tables in it and if it was crowded there's no way a wheelchair could get in/out with items in hand. The room itself? Clean and comfortable, though the faded paint is again indicative of an interior in need of a little TLC. The satellite options were decent, though it did go out at one point on my 2nd night in Rochester. I would also say that Quality Inn has always been more of a "budget" option for me and this particular location seemed a bit overpriced. I would have expected it to be a mid-range option. Upon further research, Quality Inn was about $20 higher per night than the Super 8 next door. Both, however, had only modest occupancy during a holiday weekend. Overall, I would likely consider returning for the service. The staff is super friendly here and the accommodations comfortable enough that the two nights I spent here were restful and pleasing. The kindness involving the cats and the 5-week old kittens was fun to watch. Geocachers should also note that there's a cache within about 300 feet of the hotel. Go for it. I found it! With a bit of an upgrade and some standard maintenance, the Quality Inn could easily return to being a 4-star hotel. However, for now it seems like a 3-star rating and a modest thumbs up are most appropriate.

Upshot is - I think this is a good place and we're very likely to stay here again the next time we're in the Peru, IN area. The hotel is welcoming with a bright, open lobby, good, safe parking and friendly, helpful staff. The lobby was clean and featured a lot of conveniences for which snootier places would charge. Breakfast, as others have mentioned, was a real treat and Nicole was a whirling peach helping everyone out while evincing friendly interest in all guests. Our room was perhaps less perfectly clean than it might have been (either a large white-haired dog or a polar bear had recently been housed there, and housekeeping's noble struggles to mop up all the residue weren't 100% successful) and the bathtub drain was slow and allowed water to pool around my ankles during just a quick shower. Here's the thing, though: we were headed to a wedding shortly after we arrived and were only there for one night. I'm CERTAIN that if I'd mentioned these issues to the folks at the front desk, they would have been rectified tout suite. I didn't, though, because I didn't have the time. (I mentioned them in response to a "How Were Things?" email from management - hey, and that email itself is a great sign, eh? - and got a royal apology and a promise to jump on fixes.) And other family members staying at the Best Western Circus City Inn had nothing but high praise for the cleanliness and functionality of their quarters. Ours was just bad luck - what are you gonna do? It happens. So, while _our_ experience was maybe a little flawed, I think that was unusual and the hotel itself is a solidly good place to stay in Peru.

The place stinks like Indian food and it looks like it's just a rundown, empty, U-Haul place because there is U-Haul's all over the parking lot but no patrons. It's such a racket. I'm not even sure it's a legit business. They also run the one next-door, which is a quality Inn, but nobody's there the windows are boarded up and it's just awful. A total rip off. Not to mention they charged us for things that we didn't do. There's nothing to pay for there so they made up these charges and these people are just crooked crooked crooked. I'm posting pictures so you can see for yourself how disgusting it is. The toilet seat was so gross and literally you can get a toilet seat for under $20 but no, they'd rather have you sit on something so gross. The bed was way too small for the frame so slid around everytime you moved. Not even worth one star!

The sink didn't drain properly, the toilet seat was disgusting (torn up, burned and discolored), We didn't shower because we were too afraid of the condition of the shower. The pillows are like hard throw pillows not even regular size pillows. After being up 28 hours loading to move and load a UHaul we were too tired to just leave.The hotel is overpriced for the condition it is in. I was charged $70 for an early check in charge and left by 5 pm the same day. That is completely unacceptable and ridiculous. I would not recommend anyone stay there.

Saturday night the guests had taken over the entire breakfast seating area with crockpots of food and delivery pizza. I wish we would've made friends and ate with them instead of next-door at the Farmhouse Restaurant. It was terrible. I wrote a different review on that. We booked a 2 queen room for our family of 3. The room was spacious and had a view of the woods and walking trail behind the hotel. There was a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room. The shower had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. We did have problems with our door unlocking, but it was no issue. The main reason we stayed here was for the pool. The pool is 3'6" deep with a basketball goal and water spraying into it. There is a kitty pool that was 1 foot deep and two small slides. There was also a hot tub that went indoor and outdoor Saturday night the hot tub was too hot for my son to get in but Sunday morning it was warm. Lots of kids in the hot tub. The pool is not heated. It was pretty cold. I preferred the hot tub temperature. The staff at check-in and check out were both very friendly. They do a continental breakfast with two waffle makers. My son loved making his own waffles. They also had scrambled eggs, sausage, links, ham, hard boiled eggs, bagels, toast, muffins, oatmeal, and cereal. Plus a machine with orange juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, and water and of course there was a coffee. We enjoyed our stay! As loud as the hotel was Saturday night. I expected to be woke up by kids running down the hallway or slamming doors and I'm happy to say we all slept all night. Great destination hotel.
