Quality Inn & Suites Vandalia near I-70 and Hwy 51

The hotel layout and room was exactly what I was anticipating in terms of a Quality Inn right off the Interstate. We were only there for one night looking for a place to lay down and sleep and it was absolutely perfect for that. The room was perfectly clean, the amenities were everything we needed. The cleanliness of the room was better than I was expecting for middle of nowhere right off the Interstate. Above and beyond what I was expecting.

I booked a suite because I needed somewhere to stay for several days with my two energetic young boys and our dog and cat. The pet policy alone is very hard to find these days! The rooms were very spacious and had been modernized. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of space in the kitchen area. I was also thankful for a fridge in each of the rooms. The microwave was a big help too. The bed was huge and comfortable, the bedding was nice and there was extra which definitely came in handy. The shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The tv in the bedroom meant I could keep the boys occupied if they didn't want to watch the same thing. The living room area was well furnished with a chair, sofa that could pull out into a bed, a coffee table, desk and office chair, and a tv. There was also a swingset my younger son took advantage of regularly during the several days we stayed. Breakfast was good, you can make your own waffles (the boys LOVED that option!), with assorted toppings like syrup, peanut butter, or jam. There were Jimmy Dean sausage sandwiches, yogurt, cereal, orange juice, milk, and coffee. Overall a very solid breakfast option. Another really great feature was the free laundry. It was very easy to operate the machines, and trying to stick to a budget with an unexpected extended stay, I was very grateful for the option. The staff were very friendly and answered any questionsI had and offered help when I needed it. I was greeted every morning by staff. It's obvious the staff have worked hard to make this an inviting place to stay. It truly exceeded my expectations. The cost was budget friendly. I couldn't have booked a hotel suite for this much, and if you're on the fence about staying at a motel, I would say this one will change your mind. I am happy I chose Quality Inn & Suites, and would happily stay again in the future.

The nicest looking property with coverage over the sidewalks so we didn't have to leave in the rain. Cute landscaped area with tables & chairs which happened to be right outside our room.

The breakfast was fair but offered no eggs or meat, per se, not many protein choices. Otherwise, it was good. We always appreciate the service of an ice machine and need a bag upon arrival and again when we leave. It is critical to provide ice to travelers and you did. Also, we loved having a bathtub as I must have a hot bath, for therapy reasons. It was quiet; we had Room 123 and the motel was not heavily booked; we liked that so much. The front desk people were friendly and welcoming.

The property was better than anticipated! The breakfast had sausage gravy, biscuits, eggs, variety of instant oatmeal’s, yogurt, fresh fruit, waffles!!! The room smelled clean and fresh. The bed was comfortable. Nice bird sanctuary outside. Pool was not open yet but looked like a nice one! Staff was very friendly! Will stay again!!
