Breakfast and location

Bad

Hotel was clean, bed was comfy, breakfast was good...all around I had a very nice stay. They offer things like early check-in and late chec- out ( for a fee) but to have the option is great! I have already booked a room for future travel plans. Parking areas were very dark...more lights would make things feel safer when having to go to your car after dark.

Ingrid, who takes care of the daily breakfast area, is absolutely wonderful! She keeps everything clean, organized, and well stocked, and you can tell she genuinely cares about the guests. Starting the morning with a nice breakfast and Ingrid’s friendly personality made our stay even more enjoyable. The excellent service from people like John and Ingrid really makes a difference. They are both a great asset to the hotel and helped make our stay feel extra special. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Great and friendly staff! clean lobby and hallways and the property overall was very clean and welcoming the rooms could be a little more renovated and cleaner but were still very comfortable!

Bad

Ended up I took 4 cold showers before I thankfully left. The room was dated, orange peel wall finish was peppered with unprofessional repairs that had smooth spots instead of matching the original wall finish. Looked like something amateur hour inc. would do. Wanted to watch Thursday night football while I did work, best I got was local weather and a school of rock rerun. I checked out, the desk couldn’t provide a printed receipt because I purchased from Expedia (a third party). Really??!! 1999 computer technology?? Don’t know but …. It’s a receipt I needed to turn in, and they couldn’t pull it off. Breakfast buffet was late, I had to leave by 6:15, and it may have been fully operational by then. Overall, I think this facility was equivalent to a motel 6 on an average day. Now La Quinta is a hard pass for me unless I have a limited or no other option….and I liked them before. Sorry, you sent the email asking for a review, but the cold showers really was bad.

Breakfast

It was value for money Not any

This hotel is perfectly fine for the person who is passing through for a night or two. It is dated but the room was clean, the hotel seemed safe and the staff were all very pleasant and helpful. I will say that the A/C cooled the room and was blowing cold air but definitely did not have the room at the temperature I had set… still I was very comfortable. The breakfast was great for a complimentary continental breakfast and more than I expected. If you’re expecting a room that smells of rich leather and mahogany or an all inclusive family resort then this is not going to be your vibe. However, if you are looking for clean, simple, safe rooms with great customer service, you can find that here. Needs some updating.

Good

Beds were very comfortable. Staff were very helpful supplying a product my daughter needed. The driveway entrance is riddled with potholes, the shower flow was very poor and the temperature fluctuated severely mid-shower, there were large cracks in the ceiling of the shower. Nobody from reception every looked up to greet us on the way in or out during our whole stay of 4 nights.

Good

It was a great location. Room was comfortable. The faucet top kept falling off.

The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Unfortunately, the room itself was very disappointing. The sofa was extremely dirty, and both the bathtub and the sink were clogged and did not drain properly. There also appeared to be mold in the bathtub. The room did smell nice, but overall the condition and cleanliness of the room were unacceptable.

The location was convinient and the staff were super friendly. The breakfast was real good. They also accept dogs.

Breakfast was not so great . Wverything ran out if you are not early
