At this point you should know what to expect from a Quality Inn. You’re not paying for luxury. I was in town for a few days for a conference and this suited my needs very well. The staff were all very friendly and competent. Moe, especially, went above and beyond to help me figure out the bus system here. The location is very close to a bunch of restaurants and a quick walk from other downtown attractions. Very easy access to the beautiful Riverwalk, which I traversed several times. Even if rather small, especially for a big dude like me, the room suited my needs pretty well. It was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and well-equipped. I do wish the bed was bigger, but the room had a desk and working WiFi. Breakfast was ok. But like I said, you know what you’re getting.

Our concierge Anthony was very friendly and welcoming. We are from out of town and he was kind enough to inform us of local entertainment and accommodations. A very warming welcome and impeccable customer service. Very refreshing and it is greatly appreciated.

I had a great stay at the Quality Inn Downtown Jefferson! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. My room was spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a relaxing place to unwind. The location is perfect, with easy access to nearby attractions. Another big plus is the free parking, a rare and much-appreciated perk in a downtown area. Overall, this hotel offers great value, comfort, and convenience I would stay here again! Highly recommend it!

After a long day of traveling, my partner and I just needed a place to rest. Kia, the front desk manager, went above and beyond to help us get settled. Even while dealing with a difficult customer before us, she stayed kind, professional, and genuinely upbeat. Her positive attitude and proactive approach made us feel truly welcomed and cared for. Thank you, Kia, and quality inn for turning a stressful travel day into a much better night. You really saved us!

Neat and clean. Centrally located close to Little Caesars Arena. Took short UBER ride to arena saving at least 40.00 in public parking fees. Free parking at Quality Inn

It really is possible for one person to change the world!! I’m at the Quality Inn, in Detroit, Michigan. I am touched by the charity I was just shown downstairs. The front desk attendant, Kia, applied a generous discount towards my bill (it gets better)…AND she gave me a bag of clothing that she was planning to donate to Good Will. I feel like a princess….. She built up MAD Karma points today, wouldn’t you agree?!
