This hotel was booked for me by my parent, thinking it was as nice as the other La Quinta hotels that they have stayed at. Apparently it is was recently bought by them. I stayed here July 2006.
The hotel staff were pleasant and friendly. We were allowed to get our room prior to check in time. The room hallway smelled so bad I literally covered my face with my shirt to breathe. I didn't like the smell of my room either, so I went back to lobby and told them of the bad smells and asked for another room. I was given a new room immediately, which although not perfect in smell, was significantly improved.
I asked for an extra cot, and received one quickly.
I noticed that the door connecting our room to an adjacent room wasn't locked and a key was needed for that, so I called the front desk. Maintenance person came quickly and locked the door.
Room carpeting was stained and overall appearance of room was run down. Hallway carpeting is also dirty.
Overall look of hotel interior is rundown.
When I returned later that night, smell was gone from hallway, so I assume they corrected the problem by putting on the hall a/c and using some type of spray.
I will say that they were very prompt in handling all my requests. The hotel was pretty empty at the time of my arrival. Later that night it looked booked. I'm just glad I checked in first and had an opportunity to check everything out before heading out for the day.
I was not impressed with the free breakfast. I liked that it was free but it was hard for me and my 2 kids to find something we really wanted to eat. I'm probably partially biased because my Dad had stayed at La Quinta before and told me they had a really nice breakfast. His description wasn't what this was!!
Breakfast was as follows:
Fruit: apples and bananas
Bread: bagels, english muffins and bad tasting pastries
Cereal: Frosted Flakes and one other choice
Beverage: coffee, milk, orange juice, tea
This hotel is not a place I would enjoy staying at again.
