Only if you have to

You pull up into a ghost town, it’s almost sad really. The vibrant past of this location has definitely gone away. Dominos pizza is your only choice of food after 9pm and the bars near are barely open. The cost for this hotel is ridiculous, but they charge this because they can. It’s sad. This is a $139 a night on the weekends and $89 during the week. Seriously, if you have to stay here, it’s comfortable and clean with a great staff. Simply put, this place is someone’s write off at the end of the year.

    Reviewed 24 September 2023

    In my experience, Quality Inns tend to be a bit inconsistent. This hotel may be the best one I've stayed at. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and have unique but functional and tasteful decor. The only reason I didn't give an excellent rating is both our A/C unit and fridge were not working properly, which we only realized around bedtime. Since we stayed 2 nights, I can attest to the attentiveness and effectiveness of the maintenance staff who came in the next day and swapped out both units for ones that worked just fine. Usually when this happens we just get offered another room, which we didn't want since we were settled in. This was much better! The pool is large and they also have a sauna. Highly recommend this property if you're visiting the Iron Range.

    Room tip: Parking is behind the hotel and entry opens directly onto the street, we parked on the street to check in.

    My husband and I spent Labor Day weekend at the Quality Inn in downtown Virginia. The hotel and service was great. They took great care in maintaining the heritage of the original Hotel Coates with the lobby and room decor. There’s a large and well-maintained indoor pool and our room was spotless. The breakfast space was large and comfortable and had a lot of options. The front desk clerks and maintenance folks were available at all times and someone was always cleaning - indoors and out. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

    Room tip: Most of the rooms in the newer portion of the hotel surround the indoor pool.There is on-street parking in front of the hotel.

    I would have rated at a 1, but the gentleman at the desk was very helpful and courteous.
    The bed was ok.
    I did not get the room that I reserved!
    Very poor WiFi
    WiFi is 1.09 mbps down & .78 up
    All of the hard floors were sticky like a soda had been spilled and not cleaned up.
    The shower head was high enough if you aren’t over 5’ 6” tall.
    It has a tile tub/shower surround and there is mold/algae in the grout.
    The toilet was short. About as tall as the toilet in the preschool area at my church. If you’re a man, you know how nasty it is when you’re genitals hang in the water.
    We stayed in a 2 room suite. There was only 1 window a/c in the main room so it was difficult to get the bedroom cool enough to sleep comfortably.
    I guess maybe I expected too much from a Choice Hotel.

    This old hotel was renovated a few years ago. The room was very nice, clean and quiet. The pool was a showstopper with a three story atrium. It was very clean. My only complaint was the very small parking lot in the back that didn't feel safe at night and the low shower pressure. Despite those things, I would stay there again.

    Rooms were large and very clean. We were in a king sized suite. We asked for ground floor, and were placed on the third floor, but room was close to the elevator. We had NO hot water even after running for a long time. There was a wonderful pizza restaurant across the street. The front desk staff were not friendly-really edged on rude. Parking was minimal in front of the hotel. Parking lot was out of sight of our room.
