Quality Inn & Suites at Airport Blvd I-65

Nice looking hotel on outside, but several issues. Hallway stained. Water leaking from under ice machine in hall. Upon entering room, there was a very strong smell of mothballs. All the drawers and cabinets were open, sofa bed was half pulled out and refrigerator was pulled out of cabinet, which was strange. No toiletries, except for one small bar of soap. One of the washcloths was dirty. Very strong smell of mildew around the bed. Corners of floor in bathroom were filthy. Shady looking characters in hallway. Charged extra for safe. Don't think we would stay here again.

I remember when this property was first built. I hardly resembles the same place. The housekeeping staff is less than eager to do their jobs as they walk through the hallways like zombies staring down on their cell phones. I was reserved to stay for 10 days but left after only 3 because of the uncleanliness. There was hair and a tampon string left in the shower that me and my family were supposed to use. No thanks! The front desk and breakfast was awesome, but that's where it ends.

Please , STAY AWAY!! I travel all the time ( in fact I have a blog about affordable travel ) and stay in all kinds of motels and hotels so I’m an easygoing person but ..... I have NEVER experience anything like this horrible, horrific slum!! If I can save even one person from what I experienced at the Quality Inn on Airport Rd in Mobile, Alabama it will make me feel somewhat better about this motel destroying my vacation. I am back at home three days early as I write this, with an already paid for rental car to boot ( all wasted $$ now ) because after I realized I simply couldn’t sleep with a giant urine and blood stained comforter, feces smeared walls, multiple lamps that don’t work because the cords have literally been RIPPED apart by someone .. etc, after I left this hellish space in the wee hours of the morning, there were no other vacancies left for hundreds of miles in every direction ( Friday night -beach season on the gorgeous Gulf Coast ) so I just drove my fancy rental that I splurged on for my beach trip ALL THE WAY HOME. THAT’S how filthy this place is!! Never before have I stayed in a room where I was actually afraid to put down my belongings on any surface ( I hung my backpack on the towel hook.. that’s how filthy the tables were...) Let’s start from the beginning... I arrived late to check in ( around midnight ) because I drove from Pensacola where I had been to the beach and dinner. So right away the rudeness I encountered from all three front desk staff was Outrageous! I worked as a hotel manager for years so I always try to be extra friendly to employees... but these people were straight up MEAN. They even told me they don’t get paid enough to do their job ... and that “they need a raise” they also told me to “be quiet” after I was informed that my original room was overbooked. For about 20 minutes they tried to figure out where to put me ( remember I had booked a queen room through Priceline ) they even contemplated calling their “other property” when I tried to ask questions is when they told me to “just be quiet!” Finally after a lot of deliberation they said “ we have a room, it’s not nice but it is a Room!” Meaning my original room had already been given away to someone else....Hmm 🤔 So since there is literally nothing else for hundreds of miles around, I take the card to check in ... room 127. When I entered the room the first thing I noticed was white powder spilled on the floor and the dresser... then I tried to turn on the light .. the lamp didn’t work , in fact it couldn’t even be plugged in ( see video ) I tried the lamp on the nightstand ( again no go ) also that lamp seemed to be caked in some kind of brown sludge.... ( see video ) I got online to see if there were any other lodging options but there weren’t any so I decided to just try to stomach it and deal with it.. Oh also you can’t walk barefoot on the carpet in that room because it is sooo sticky, and frankly, filthy ( ZERO pride of ownership of this p
