Hotel Review - Quality Inn St Louis Airport
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2014
- Long story short: I live in St. Louis, but I spent a few months in Jefferson City this summer. During that time, my apartment was unavailable because of construction. Then, when it came time to catch a flight to New York ( • TRIP REPORT - United A... ), an airport hotel was a great option for the night before my flight. I picked this Quality Inn because it was the cheapest option that included parking for the week. The included hot breakfast was an excellent bonus. With a rate this low, all the hotel really had to do was hit the basics to impress me. Unfortunately, it still fell a bit short. Since I spent quite a few hours in the room, I ended up with a lot of footage--hence the highly detailed review. Hope you enjoy!

I lol'ed so hard when you were talking about the pillows.
Hahaha, as your reviewing the room I'm yelling at you not to touch things. I started watching your videos on the aviation side but am really enjoying the hotel reviews also. Good stuff.
These are what I watch before going to bed
Yeah, this guy could be doing asmr videos. I like how everything is low key.
I stayed 3 weeks ago on the one near Universal Studios on Kirkman road, and the hotel is pretty good for it's price. Breakfast is good, no much variety, but satisfying. Hot coffee from the morning to late night or until its over. The tv on the room was a cable, no hdmi, but reminded me of the 90's tv nostalgia so I liked it. I slept like a baby every night. The staff on the hotel were great, very welcoming. If you wanna save money and have a decent hotel room, this is it.
I have been a Quality Inn, they are o.k., but not the worst either. I prefer La Qunita or Hampton Inn, never been disappointed.
Problem with Quality Inns is that they're one of the Choice Hotels conversion brands (meaning that they're almost always repurposed from something else). They tend to be really inconsistent just for that reason. By contrast, Hampton Inns are always built specifically to be Hampton Inns.
We had a Comfort Inn & Suites that was recently changed over to a La Quinta Inn just 5 minutes from our house. They updated the exterior before the switch. Stayed there a few years ago and it was very nice. It had an Otis Series 1 hydraulic elevator, not sure if it got modernized.
The older Quality Inns rarely are quality. There are exceptions, so I always check Trip Advisor. But the newer Inns and Suites are usually pretty good. It really depends on what you expect. But working plumbing and basic cleanliness are expected.
I do a quick check for bedbugs at even the swankiest hotels. It has nothing to do with cleanliness, and everything to do with prior guests.
And I've found the Don't Leave Valuables in Your Car Notice at every Park and Fly hotel. Thieves know the cars will be abandon for days and so they come through often.
9:00, a previous guest may have actually dragged the table from the dumpster or similar place because he wanted a table there. housekeeping didn't know any better and left it.I've done things like that on extended stays, along with a few pranks.
great job working on editing this video!! and nice hotel by the way
Looks like the Quality Inn in Rock Hill, SC complete with the nonlocking outer doors.
The one in Baltimore was… interesting. Certainly worked for Otakon since I was at the BCC most of the time away. Definitely different when you're used to a Hilton or Westin ^^;
Stayed at a Quality recently that had just been renovated, but they really needed more attention to the cleanliness. Definite inconsistencies, as you've noticed.
if you visit lancaster pa. you should stay at the lancaster host and review it. its on 2300 lincon hwy.
Just came back from the place where I stayed which was same company as you but was really good
You should try a holiday inn, holiday inn express or candlewood suites. They are very good.

Hi, HIE, and CWS are almost always over $100/night as well. QI is a lower tier of hotel than those and the price reflects it.
Aside form the maitnence/housekeeping issues, the room seems pretty nice. It does have quite a bit of potential if they paid a little more attention to detail.
That's really what drove me crazy. The whole place was ALMOST a good deal. A good manager could literally make this place great in less than a week with a really tiny budget. Though when I came back from the airport in the shuttle after my trip, the entire hotel was sold out. Looks like they aren't having any trouble selling rooms, so more power to them.
Hey (once again) what was the music you used called from audio micro?
Thanks.
...Because i'm uploading another Metra train video soon but some obnoxious lady was yelling on her phone while I was taping. So i'm going to have to put an audio track over it and this sounds perfect....

The new was the day I was going to go to the movies and I was just wondering if you had a chance to
That's a really good room for the price!
Lancaster, PA Location was way worse. My favorite part was that you could only hit your floor in the elevator or it got stuck.
@ 5:13 Hi The Elevator Channel!
You think it's hot at 68 degrees? My house's thermostat is set at 75 and my mom still complains about it being too cold. Sucks even more for me since my room is on the second floor. You have no idea how hot it gets up there sometimes.
Actually at least that the furniture at the Embassy Suites Don't fall apart. like the table that you said was found out of dumpster.
They need to change their name to "Inn" because this place is lacking quality.
Does it have an elevator?
And the onsite restaurant had such a nice salad bar. . . Weren't you even concerned about how easily the window would have allowed entrance for a thief?
Wow, I don't know how you touch those stains and those hair.... You are brave sir. I can never do that.
This budget hotel reminds of the Embassy Suites that I stayed in Philadelphia last year except for the bed sheets and the hair on the sheets.
The other room you had has a different chair in it.
Had to find this one again to see the famous "Golden Pancake".
Hi Elevator Channel. I have 3 comments to make.
1. This is the first video of yours that I have seen. Actually, this is the first video I watched in its entirty. A 23 minute hotel video? I was intrigued. Very interesting video, I must say.
2. Youcall yourself The Elevator Channel, yet you review a place with no elevator?! Irony, perhaps?
3. Thnat table by the chair does serve a purpose, actually 2. The first is, if you're sitting on that chair and reading a book (remember those?), you have a place to put the book down if you need to. Second, that table fills the void between the bed and the chair. Granted, that 1st table was a little rickety, but I'm sure a little glue and maybe a couple of screw and some paint/varnish and that table could be rock solid. Of course, that should have been taken care of by the hotel, and not necessarily by the guest.
I just stayed at this Quality Inn in Jan. 2020 Room 124 This Hotel Stopped Severing any type of Breakfast in April 2019 because they have an on site Restaurant . You Get NO DISCOUNT for Staying At The Hotel. This Hotel has NO ELEVATORS. Being Disabled this was an issue but the Nice front Desk Clerk Changed My Room to the 1st Floor. No Microwave in Room but there is one in the Lobby. The Water was Hot and there was Heat in the Room so I was Happy. I was lucky to get this room for $45.00 I would not pay more to stay at this Hotel
That place is a good deal, however it would be nice if they got rid of those cleanliness issues, and that old table
In my Q I stayed at it was nice and clean because I cheeked out early but had my card so I walked into grab stuff I left they took everything out and started cleaning
ok so dont ever try the ramada hotel in burbank los angeles because i went there and there were ants in the tub, and vomit in the sink mk?
celine EWW IM NEVER EVER GOING TO A BUDGET HOTEL!!! 🤢🤮🤮
What's the point of remodeling the rooms if they can't even maintain the place? Seems a bit ridiculous!
I am agreed with you
how much you pay for the room if you don't mind me asking
$79 (plus tax), which included airport shuttle, hot breakfast, and up to 14 days of parking.
Loler
It looks like an old apartment from the outside
At least dropping your rental car off at Hertz is a breeze.
Well this isn't the only place with the mini-pillow's, apparently the hotel that i'm siting in has them too. And a dated hair drier.
being able to avoid the front desk is a design error. shower looks nice. interesting collection of different styles in that room. strange bed looks comfortable. I call it a double review. modern cell phones have power alarm. it turns on at the set time.
1:48 America baby!
I just avoid discount motels. I'd rather just pay more and know what Im getting into.
AroundIndiana yeah I agree I when I’m on a road trip I usually go to a holiday inn express or a Hampton inn!!!
10:02 I stayed in this hotel and really wish I had brought my own pillow. Those little square ones were awful.
Is there an elevator here?
No elevator. It's only 2 floors.
Are thear spiders in motels
Disney's budget resorts aren't that great either. I wonder if "Quality" is run by Disney? :)
Well that's uh....some hotel there lol! I remember a long time ago staying at a Quality inn and the showers being total crap.(The story with this one was that it was real dirty.) The room does look really nice, defiantly great for the price. Weird that they switched out your room though, I would have thought that they'd have just looked at the plumbing issue's. (It was even weird that they left early.) That lady probably got upset that she got double charged, it was good that you checked your bed though. Because, who knows it could have been the story all over again of the guy who found dry blood on the mattress at Motel 6. But overall uhh.....weird hotel!
Grade=C+(I guess, I don't even know.)
Yeah, I ended up 3-starring it on TripAdvisor (just realized that I forgot to link the review--working on that now). My experience is that the Choice Hotels brands that are intended for conversions of existing properties (Rodeway Inn, Econolodge, Quality Inn, and Clarion) tend to be all over the place in terms of quality. I try to avoid them unless the reviews look great (not very common) or they're a really good deal (like this place). Sometimes the more run-down properties make for the most fun reviews since I actually get something to criticize.
***** Oh yeah. Expensive does not = good. I've stayed in higher-end places that I could have bashed a lot more than this place. I always try to balance my reviews with how much $ I paid for the room. A place like a Days Inn or a Quality Inn like this one really just needs to be well-kept and clean to earn a good review from me. Check out my review of the Shangri-La condo complex in Puerto Vallarta if you want an example of a place that I could not criticize... at all. Absolutely amazing.
***** That's so true. Exhibit A. The Sheraton.
+MGIII Dry blood is nothing. How would like to find a condom (not sure if it was used or not, but it doesn't matter) in between the mattress and box spring? Almost 30 years ago, my frined headed to Los Angeles to try to get on Card Sharks. He asked if I wanted to go. I said yes and off we go to Tinseltown. Well, since we didn't have lots of money, we got a motel on Hollywood Blvd. with a single bed. My friend said we could take off the matress and one of us could sleep on the matress and the other (meaning yours truly) could sleep on the box spring. We take off the mattress and WHAT THEudie magazine and said condom. YUCK!!!!
+Jack Rotter Jack, I'm no expert, but perhaps the first place to start is find a place that has elevators????
7 quality Inn employees disliked this video
Now, it's 11
Don't forget KAG! He's whining about gettin' laid.
Now 17
The hotel was a little better quality than i thought
in fact I Don't think they have those small Square Pillows Anymore today.
Plenty of Choice hotels do.. but most are actually normal pillows folded in half..
I stayed at a Quality Inn once for an event because there was no other choice in that small town. I'm very picky when it comes to hotels/motels, and I was very disappointed. Hallways and stairway reeked of cigarette smoke and something else disgusting that made me cover my nose. Blanket on bed had several stains, room needed dusted. Tv remote so overused you couldn't read the numbers on it and tv was confusing to work. Will not stay at one again.
That os,why,j,just use,my phone for a,alarm at a hotel
This is like an older hotel.
At 3:31, those snacks are not my favorites.
This looks a tad nicer than the Quality Inn I stayed at in Alabama. This QI was really old and downright creepy. The building had this musty, smoky smell that I just couldn't handle. The bed was uncomfortable and there was this red light in the room that wouldn't turn off and made it difficult to sleep.
That wasn't even the worst part. The hotel didn't have an elevator! What kind of crackhead builds a hotel and doesn't put a single elevator in it?
I left that hotel at five or six in the AM and went right across the street to the Holliday Inn which was way nicer.
People say first impressions last a lifetime so after that experience I'm very reluctant to stay at a QI again.
Like I said this is definitely a cut above that Alabama hotel but it's a budget hotel so you can't set your expectations too high.
+Sonny Rosenblatt Let's hope Elevator Channel goes to that Quality Inn and does a video.
That is untrue it is a policy they wash the bed cover it is required by law
Required by law does not mean it actually happens. Theft is forbidden by law and plenty of people still steal now don't they?
And the bed spread or bed cover does NOT have to washed, it is made for you to lay your luggage on.. not sleep on.. only the sheets have to be washed.
My pass exsperence with qualty inn hairs sweat bugs on the bed smoking smell to
Because you got a smoking room which is cheaper
PROMISE ITS NOT AS BAD AS DRURY INN ATLANTA AIRPORT
Choice hotels are totally hit and miss.. some are great.. some are disgusting.. there is brand uniformity standards that I can tell.. like you would see in a Hilton or IHG branded hotel.
hit and miss on late check also
I think it was blackmail
where a elevator
@William Stonehocker That's illegal.
Weird room
Extended stay America beats this place hands down.
After being given a room at 2AM where a couple was having sex at a Extended Stay I will have to disagree. It was so bad I got like 12 free room vouchers from the manager from 2 different properties on opposite sides of the country (Washington State and Florida)
Not that bad. I seen worse
The low quality inn is garbage. This room kinda tricks you. When you look at photos for the place it looks great but then you stay & you have a very bad time.
Yeah, not a fan of the Low Quality Inns LOL. They're always run down and sketchy most of time. If you ever make it to Orlando, there are several Quality Inn locations, and let me tell ya, they all suck and reek of drugs...
