“Don't waste your money!”

La Quinta Inn Gulf Shores

Feb 5, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

I wished I had checked here before staying in this place. I would not recommend this hotel. It took over 45 min to check in and that is just the start of the problems. I should have gotten wise at that point but was too tired. We checked out ASAP the next day and went to the Best Western on the Beach. Much better hotel and only $19 more per night.
Here is a list of just some of the issues:
Staff was rude
"Pool" (and I use that term loosely) was Awful
Beds were nasty
Bathroom was tiny and nasty
TV was broken
Room smelled like animal Urine

I have no wish to go on. My 12yo even asked me if we could go somewhere else. Please don't waste your money on this "Hotel" (and again I use that term loosely)

Decided to give LQ Gulf Shores another try. This time pool/hot tub area was closed for much needed renovations. Also, there was hardly any breakfast food for the free continental breakfast. Rate was $55/night for double queen room. Room has been renovated since our stay in Feb. 2007. Fresh carpet, paint, and furniture. If you are looking for a place close to the beaches of Gulf Shores, this is a decent place but don't expect the pool/hot tub to be working or a hearty breakfast.

I hadn't planned on staying at this hotel and had reservations elsewhere, but due to overbooking I was sent here. This stay was pretty good. The bed was comfy, and there were no major issues with the room. The staff at the desk and the housekeepers were all quite nice. I would stay here again.

“very bad experince”

La Quinta Inn Gulf Shores

Apr 21, 2007
7/7 found this review helpful

Stayed during spring break. When checking in, desk sent some guests to Comfort Inn. Stayed on second floor. Dog barked for two hours in the evening. Happen to ride elevater with guest who had dog. Told us dog was 14 years old and expexted us to understand. All I know is that animals that old don't bother going outside to do their job. Five inch hole in top bed cover. Might have been chewed by animal. Guests are asked to put all dirty towels in hall. Two bath towels, two wash clothes and one hand towel per room. Milk in small cartons on ice. You can find more behind bar. Most mornings someone needed to find some. No cream for coffee or I could not find any. Waffel mix was only avaiable on our last day. No waffel machine. Constant leak in shower. Don't bother writting company about conditions. They don't respond.
