I would recommend staying here because the rooms are cleaning the staff is courteous it's quiet and there wasn't any trouble plus I love coffee and they always have coffee made. It's also in a very convenient location

My daughter and her 4 year old granddaughter were making their first round trip alone from Cincinnati to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula this summer. She wanted to break the trip into two easy days and as an experienced traveler and TripAdvisor member, I offered to find a hotel for her at about halfway in the trip. Based on the information and photos on the hotel’s own website, I booked two nights for her at the Quality Inn & Suites Airport in Flint, MI. The website mentions free hot breakfast and a spacious heated indoor pool among the amenities and reasons to stay there. The website’s official photos show a very well-stocked and inviting breakfast area and a beautiful swimming pool. Those were my two biggest reasons for selecting this hotel for her, and she liked the looks of it. After several hours in the car on a hot August day, they were looking forward to a dip in the pool. That was the first big disappointment. The pool is closed and unusable, and furthermore, hasn’t been used in a long time. Whether it will ever be repaired and usable again is unknown. The next big disappointment came at breakfast the next morning. The free hot breakfast is waffles. That’s all, just waffles. Nothing else was available. While this does fulfill the promise of a hot breakfast, it doesn’t square with the photos of a very well-stocked and inviting breakfast area. There were non-working empty apple and orange juice dispensers, too. They went to McDonald's for breakfast. Needless to say, the next time my daughter makes this trip, she’ll be staying somewhere else. On the positive side, the front desk clerks were pleasant, and the hotel, room, and bathroom were clean and there were no unpleasant smells. The mattress had seen better days and was dished in the middle, and the 4 year old complained that it was uncomfortable. The whole place seemed tired and needs a major refreshing. Otherwise, it’s another once-nice hotel on the way down. If you stop overnight in Flint, do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else! My rating of the hotel is 2 stars, the same as its class rating. My daughter read this review and is in complete agreement with it.

I’ve stay at this location many times. Staff is always friendly, they know me by name. I usually get to check in early. The room are starting to show their age as last refresh was in 2006. Still a nice place to stay. It’s close to the freeway, stores, and food.

Very nice location. And great breakfast! Would recommend.
