Quality Inn: Q Is For Questionable
Quality Inn is a conversion brand. A lot of Quality Inns are questionable, which is why it has the letter q in it's name. I'm sure y'all know what to do, read the reviews online.

The joke went over my head as well, but I agree with your point.
There's no consistency with Quality Inns - some are incredible values (Port Angeles WA and San Luis Obispo CA come to mind) and others are filled with low-caliber permanent residents (College Park GA or South Portland ME Comfort Inn). Choice has 12 (twelve!) hotel brands and I find it hard to differentiate between them.
What's the difference between a Rodeway Inn and Econolodge? What differentiates Comfort/Sleep/Quality Inn? Even some Ascend hotels (Somerset NJ) are worse than the Quality Inns I mentioned above.
Seems each individual hotel is its own fiefdom, for better or worse.

The QI in Wyomissing PA is the only hotel I've ever felt unsafe in. There appeared to be something of a quasi brothel operation on the floor I was on.

We once booked a room at the Days Inn Florida Mall, and were woken up by a lady of the night pounding on our door looking for her john. We reported it to hotel staff after our insistence that she had the wrong room had her pounding on the next door over. Their response was something like, 'Oof, so sorry, don't ya just hate it when that happens?!'

I remain convinced that you use Flyertalk to get text for a blog or something, some of the threads you start feel a little off. But you did just make me giggle - you're right, and the hotel clerk was right, everyone hates it when that happens =p

Aurora, Oregon?
There is no Quality Inn in Aurora, Oregon. In fact, there are no Choice Hotels of any brand in Aurora, Oregon.
Could you be thinking of a town nearby, or even the town of Aurora in another state?

It's actually much simpler than that. There are no hotels at all in Aurora, Oregon. It's a very small town along a secondary highway (99-E) a few miles from I-5. If you search for hotels in Aurora, Oregon, you actually get hotels in Wilsonville just 4ish miles away (at I-5), but some websites don't explain that the hotels are in Wilsonville (they just give the brand and how close it is to Aurora). And that includes a Quality Inn. So it's most likely the Quality Inn Wilsonville, but gotten by a search for hotels in Aurora, and that's why someone may have associated it with Aurora even though it was actually in Wilsonville.
