Quality Inn Gaylord

As an older lady who's stayed at everything from air bnbs and motels to fine resorts in Hawaii and castles in Europe, I'd like to offer a bit of advice to any newbie travelers out there. Lodging reviews are very subjective. The core of each one stems from personal perspectives and what is important to the reviewer. There are one-star and five-star reviews volleying back and forth, back-to-back, making it tricky to figure out what's accurate! Well, they are all accurate in the minds of their authors, so you have to decide what's important to YOU. My best advice is to take common complaints into consideration, like mold or odors in hallways. Things that have built up over time and aren't strictly based on a particular room. Then, begin by sorting the date of visit. Choose the "most recent" or "newest" option, because the hotel ratings from 4 years ago don't really matter anymore, even if they are the most helpful. Next, try to look beyond issues that are based on a date, a single room or staff member. Variables that can drastically affect a stay, like bad weather, a special event, a city-wide power outage, several housekeepers out sick, or a particular front desk worker having a bad day, are random experiences. You're either lucky to get a room next to quiet neighbors, or unlucky to stay during a boy scout jamboree. Your room may have been cleaned by the best housekeeper in the business, or may have accidentally been forgotten altogether. So, try to weed out the chronic problem
