Scene
Budget chain hotel with homey, predictable style, can be a good value for area
This budget property from the Quality Hotels chain comprises three buildings, two of which are low-rise motel-style structures with exterior hallways, as well as a larger brick building. Upon entering, guests are greeted in a small lobby cloaked in earth tones and a mix of patterns, including burgundy marble topping the front desk, marbled abstract art adorning the wall behind it, and a geometric area rug decorating a corner seating area. Furnishings are contemporary and decor is eclectic and homey, but interiors are pleasant enough, especially since most guests are out and about all day and night. There's nothing special about the decor here and perks are limited, but it's a solid choice for budget travelers seeking a good value.
