Quality Inn Lake City

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice! Was clean, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff, nicely landscaped! Our only drawback was we had to park at restaurant next door as you are only allowed to 1 space and we had our 12x7 cargo trailer. But overall this was amazing! Wanted to book for another night but was sold out as hurricane Iseasia’s presence."
