Not what was expected. And my expectations were not high. Remodeled room still had holes in the wall and bandaid painting with no ceiling fixed just painted over cracks. Waffles for breakfast were supposed to be the greatest. NO. Dough seemed overmixed and chewy. Very nice overworked staff. Poor night girl was working all by herself with very needy guests and no assistance. Spend the xtra $100 for the next level hotel. Okay to use this one if bookings are full. It is clean and bed was king size and comfortable. Just don’t expect a super nice remodeled hotel as they did the cheap budget job on minimal refresh for upgrades in my opinion.

The front desk attendant was very friendly and welcoming. The room smelled nice and clean when we walked in the door. But then when we got into the bed we noticed a huge brown stain on the sheets. So that was not pleasant to see. I know the hotel is under remodel at the current moment. So they definitely should work on having clean sheets on the bed with no stains. But other than that it was okay.

The dining room floor was broken up with caution, tape around the dining part where you eat breakfast The elevator was broken, which did not accommodate my disability. The hotel smelled like mold. The floors were filthy. The carpet was shredded, which caused tripping. They did not have pillows for the room. They substituted a blanket for a pillow. When we arrived, the person on duty was on their laptop playing a game with someone and seems irritated that they had to get up and wait on us to check us in. We checked out after the first night stay even though we had an extended stay. The place was horrible. We would never recommend it to anyone.

Well the place was filthy. The bathroom doors had splashed drips and were literally rotting apart at the bottom. I pulled the hairdryer out to use and goop was crusted on it. And the bed was a terrible mattress. The shower water wouldn't turn off. I was astonished at how nice the Homes 2 Suites was next door. Do better. Will never stay at a La Quinta again you've ruined it.

House keeping knocked on the door at 915 while we were sleeping. When we didn’t answer the door they entered the room! Do they not communicate to the housekeepers which rooms have checked out and which haven’t?

The staff were very nice and accomodating. The room left a lot to be desired, however. In the first room the bath tub was free flowing and rusted. The room only had one light at the bedside and none on the desk. There was only one trash can in the entire room. The second room still only had one lamp. This time at the desk, not bedside And again only one trashcan!! But the tub at least was not leaking. The microwave/refrig seemed to work properly Breakfast was a little more that continental: hot boiled eggs, sausage, waffles, bagels, bread, toast, yogurt, and juices ans coffee. The 55" LG TV in the room was nice.
