My wife, two kids and myself stayed one night, April 28th at this hotel. We went to bed late, and the kids feel asleep right away. We didn't get in bed until it was too late. The mattress smelled like cat pee, but too late in the evening to complain. The hotel was booked and nowhere to move too, even if we could. When we were checking out I noticed they were swapping out mattress in other rooms for new one, so I suspect they knew of this problem, yet let us and others still stay without warning.

I'm fine with pet friendly hotel (we have a dog, but left him home), but the hotel should make sure the rooms are clean, fresh and sanitary.

When i told the desk clerk in the morning he seem somewhat apologetic yet, he really didn't care.


This review is for the 816 North Atlantic, Daytona Beach location. We have stayed at many La Quinta's in the past, but don't recommend this one. Awful experience. I filed a complaint with La Quinta and they mentioned they would forwarded it to the management, but we have yet to hear back.

Word to the wise, ask to see and SMELL the room before checking in, unless you like sleeping in cat pee.
