Quality Inn Mineral Point

The Goldilocks and the Three Bears story comes to mind. Some things were too hard, such as getting into our room with the poorly functioning key cards. Some things were too soft such as the lukewarm hot tub, the "continental" breakfast being mostly cheap packaged baked goods, the typical waffle machine, and the lack of freshness. But, for the most part Goldilocks knew what she was getting into when she booked the budget hotel. And, I have to say that some things were just right. The room was clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The staff were helpful. And the location just 4 minutes from downtown Mineral Point was awesome. We had wanted to stay in the downtown at the Mineral Point hotel, but they only allowed two people per room and my wife wasn't about to leave our son in the car overnight, especially in the winter. So, all in all the Quality Inn is just right.

Paid extra for a room with a Jacuzzi bathtub and it was filthy dirty! Filled up tub and turned on jets. Black guck came spewing out and the water was BROWN!!! Drained the tub and took pictures of the filthy jets. Then went to take a shower. Shower head was so gross and covered in what appeared to be hard water calcification crud. The shower bar had filth on it and when I tried to turn on shower, it only drizzled while the water poured out of the tub faucet. Had to wash my hair by leaning over side of tub. Ridiculous! Called front desk and complained. No cleaning staff on duty, as it was night time. Asked for refund or discount. Was told to ask front desk personnel at check out next morning. I did, but was told only a manager can authorize that. I asked for the manager's name and number. Contacted manager and was told sorry but no refund or credit. Will NEVER stay there again. We stay in Platteville now when we visit relatives in the area. Horrible experience and terrible customer service. Oh, and yes I'm a CHOICE MEMBER!!

My stay at this hotel was great! My room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The staff was always cheerful and very helpful. The continental breakfast was sufficient for me. If I return for another class at Shake Rag Alley, I’ll definitely stay here again.

This hotel is clean and quiet, and the breakfast is solid. The only bad thing was that I was going to shower on the second night and the faucet handle snapped off in my hand...as it was late on a Saturday night, they weren't able to get someone in to fix it that night, which I totally understand, but said a maintenance guy would be there the next day, and that's pretty good for a small town like this during a weekend. I just was concerned that such a serious mishap occurred in the first place.

The room was decent and comfortable. The TV was old and not impressive. Check in was slow until a very nice lady came to the rescue and took over to complete the process. The first desk clerk was not experienced and stared at the screen until help arrived. The hallways are dark and lighting is horrible. Bring a flashlight. Breakfast is ok, not exceptional. Asked for AARP or veterans discount and received a stern no.

We stayed in the King whirlpool suite during the week, Monday through Wednesday night. The price was a steal, we payed half of what you would normally pay for that type of room. Room was clean and everything was in good working order. There were two USB outlets on each nightstand lamp which I always appreciate. The bed was comfortable with ample pillows, with a few being soft and a few being firmer, giving you options. I’ve had back surgeries and couldn’t find a comfortable fit, but I usually bring my own pillows to use. Temperature control for the room was good, but we needed to leave the bathroom door open when not in use because it was cooler in there. The shower showed a few signs of wear and tear (which is to be expected) but functioned fine. I don’t understand people who expect everything to be brand new and perfect all the time in hotel rooms that get used repeatedly. The shower head was nice and high, and my husband appreciates this because he’s 6’5”. Whirlpool tub was nice after a day of hiking at Tower Hill state park. It was nice to sit on the couch to watch TV rather on the bed. Refrigerator was fine. We didn’t use the microwave. Two big windows to let in a lot of sunlight. The hotel was quiet and we both slept well. Good breakfast options. Surrounded by beautiful, rolling farmland and not far from area activities- Taliesen, state parks, farm markets and historic downtown Mineral Point. We would definitely stay here again.
