Quality

We woke up in Reno. Reno may have a rich history as a mining and gambling town, but it is today, despite what came before, a horrible armpit of a place.

We're staying at the Quality Inn. This was clearly some sort of destination hotel way back when. This logo is from a decal on our sliding glass door. The same image appears on the grand fireplace in the lobby. Not the kind of thing Choice Hotels splurges for when putting up a new building.

Judging by the age of the tree next to the swimming pool, I would guess this hotel dates back no sooner than the 1950's. It could easily be older, but I don't think it would have weathered as well as it has, were it such.
