This is an aging hotel, with years of wear and tear evident in everything from the bathroom floor to the carpet.
I was staying at the La Quinta on business, having flown into MIA and working nearby. The location was convenient for me as I had stayed at a nearby hotel a few weeks prior.
On checking in I was surprised to note that all rooms open to the outside. Not a major issue for me, but maybe a little unnerving to someone with security issues.
The choices on cable were limited at best (no FNC...I hate it when Fox News Channel is censored). Bed sheets were well worn.
I went to bed early and was awakened at 9:45 p.m. by someone opening my door with a key. This is one of those places where you have an actual key, not a key card. I yelled and the person went away very quickly. When I told the front desk what had happened, they said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'll check with housekeeping and see what is going on." I'm not the kind of person that needs groveling, but the apology was on the order of what I would expect if they had been a little late with an extra set of towels. I never did hear what happened, and I won't be returning.
