Top Santa Claus Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Rockport - Owensboro North (GOLD AWARD WINNER)

Quality Inn & Suites Rockport - Owensboro North (GOLD AWARD WINNER)

10/10 Excellent
"My entire three-day experience was very pleasant. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. My room was very comfortable. I appreciated the soaps, hair products and other health and beauty aids. The breakfast was very convenient. I was intrigued by the privacy shade on the window, where I could see out but which provided total privacy. My only problem during my stay, which was in no way connected with the hotel, was that coming back from Owensboro to the south, the highway exit leading to the hotel was blocked due to road construction. However, there was a turnaround a mile or so up the road. I will definitely plan to make reservations at this hotel during my future trips to the Owensboro area."

"Clean room and facility. Good temperature control. No smoke smell. The breakfast was good, though crowded and out of stock of several items. Convenient access to Holiday World & Splashin' Safari. Our particular room had a bathroom with no fan or other ventilation, and a sign that said the door must be kept closed to prevent a fire. I don't know if other rooms were similar. A bathroom should have a fan or other ventilation system."
