Gave me the ick

First of all, the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was extremely dirty (carpets), and needed updating. We were afraid to go barefoot in the hotel room. It smelled musty and moldy and the carpet felt damp. The bed was clean and comfortable though. We felt somewhat unsafe due to activity outside and some of the guests in the building.

Honest review

Worst experience so far. The place is completely neglected, there are signs that say remodeling but it seems that in reality nothing is happening, they should be ashamed offering this kind of accommodation under the current conditions.

I will start with cleanliness- or not so much. Upon entering the front entrance the carpet was severely stained and looked nasty. The sheets had a stain and there was a chewed piece of gum stuck on lamp. The room door didnt shut properly so when housekeeping left room, I arrived to my room being open. The window didnt lock and I was in 1st floor, so that was a concern. The staff when alerted was very responsive & friendly. Doubt I will return to Laquinta again.
