Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel needs major updates. It screams they don't clean. The hallways had the same piece of paper for 2 days. No one decided to pick it up. A faint smell. When our room was cleaned trash was removed but the bed covers were just pushed up to the pillows. The comfort of the bed was good. The TV remote control barely worked. Bathroom didn't feel clean and the workers were looking at us like we were ghosts. It was ok for a weekend stay just to sleep. I won't return.

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.

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.

We have stayed here several times. I would never leave a negative review for there. I get it’s an older not the newest hotel in the area. But for the price and location. It’s perfect, always clean and always a friendly staff. Will continue to stay there, when we go to Carbondale.

Property was fine, honestly the only thing that made it horrible were the other people staying there. Smelled like weed constantly and you can hear every other person that goes by your door or runs above your room. Breakfast options weren't bad for what you're paying for.

Homecoming Visit to Carbondale

I have always enjoyed my stays at the Quality Inn of Carbondale. A quality stay, at an affordable price. The staff is warm, welcoming, and responsive. The 24 hour free coffee is good as is the early morning selection of breakfast juices; have as much as you want. The Quality Inn is conveniently located near a Kroger store, so it's easy to pick up some munchies and beer! Restaurants are located within walking distance. The Saluki Express bus service stops nearby at the Kroger and across the highway at Walmart, so if you came by train, you have another way besides driving to get around.

Stayed 2 nights in June Liked: friendly and helpful staff, breakfast, AC was not noisy and worked well, comfortable bed, the window could be opened and exited as fire escape if needed. Disliked: No pool, several patrons were noisy, window of ground floor was not locked; I was concerned about how easy it would be for someone to open from outside. I was unable to lock the window, but the night manager did secure it with great difficulty, room 110 It needs to be fixed.
