Check in was a breeze. Staff was very efficient and friendly. The room is very clean, nice bed, bathroom is clean and hardwood floors!!. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling with pets. Not to mention there is NO PET FEE. I looked elsewhere and fee's ran as high as $75 per night per pet! Don't overlook this place.

I spent less than 12 hours at this La Quinta but walked away being very impressed with what they did. I stayed the night of an ice storm which resulted in numerous flight delays and cancellations at BWI. As stressed out as the front desk woman was, she still managed to keep her composure and was quite professional and friendly during the check-in. The room was quite satisfactory - no major complaints at all. However, this is a 2 star hotel, not that anyone thought otherwise. Not only do they have breakfast available at 5 am (earlier than I've seen anyplace else), it was actually ready to go at 4:45 am the morning I left. Perhaps the best part of the stay was that I was allowed to park there for free and ride their shuttle back and forth to the airport.

The La Quinta has changed from a Fairfield Suites property and been extensively renovated in the past year. It's minutes away from the BWI airport and they have their own van to get you back and forth and can take you to light rail or nearby malls and restaurants.

The front desk staff are friendly and very efficient. They have recommendations for places that deliver Greek, Chinese, and Italian food or you can walk across the street to the Marriot's sports bar. The Continental breakfast in the morning is a nice plus and Angie will even help you make your own waffles if you can't do it right! The rooms are comfortable and clean and unlike other nearby properties, quiet.

I've seen the general manager of the property sweeping up the lobby a couple of times, which made a positive impression. I stay here quite a bit and I like the place.

Most of the hotels near the airport are fairly expensive just because they have a captive market. Depending on when you make your reservation, you can get a good rate at the La Quinta, and they have a decent frequent stay program.

My husband & I needed a place to stay after the movers took away all of our furniture and we spent the day cleaning. We booked online directly thru the La Quinta website about 30mins before we checked in. Our room was spotless. The hotel looks like it's either new or just went thru a complete remodeling. The pillows were nice and fluffy, plenty of TV channels, thick towels, and cordial reception. The rooms are decorated in a warm burgundy and tan color and even though they have patterned bedspreads (as opposed to all white linens that make me feel more comfortably clean) I didn't throw them off the bed as they looked and felt truly clean.

One thing I should mention is that food is not available for the latecomer. We noticed on our way there at 1am that even the McDonalds was closed and if you're not from around here it might be difficult to find a place nearby that is open w/o getting lost. And breakfast is only served until 9am...something we sadly found out about at 9:18.
