This hotel was roomy and confortabe amd a great price. The staff was friendly and helpful. That morning while on our way, the manager call to notify me the room had been double booked and asked if i would like to upgrade at no additional cost. Thats a first that i was called prior to instead of not knowing untill i showed up. It was a great stay

Stayed here on my way through McAlester. Made reservations the morning of the stay for 3 rooms, the reservation required 3 rooms and the clerk I'm sure assisted me by putting all the rooms in the same area. Greatly appreciated by my family. Checked in with Lisa (at least I think I remember that as her name). Very personable and helpful. The rooms were clean and without issue, I feared a huge quantity of noise on our floor from some young men who were destined for deployment soon and entered w/ large quantities of beer but the night and accomadations were quiet and peacefull. To those young men and to the staff of the McAlester La Quinta I want to say thanks for a great stay and good luck.

We checked in for an overnight stay on our way to Branson. Things I liked: 1) Price; 2) Comfortable Bed; 3) Clean; and 4) Pet-friendly

Things I did not like: 1) Every time I went to the front desk - had to ring the bell for someone. 2) While this is a non-smoking hotel - on several occasions had to walk through cigarette smoke at the front door because guests and even the front desk person (manager?) was also smoking at the front door. 3) The room smelled heavily of Febreze or some other type of refreshening spray. It really aggravated my throat and nose. and 4) I had to go find someone (again having to ring the bell) for someone to make coffee at the breakfast area. Went upstairs to finish packing up to check out and when I came back down the coffee was STILL not ready.

All in all - if I went back that direction, I would probably bypass the area all together since this is the "nicest" hotel in the area and was not my favorite.

I spent a couple of days in McAlester for a funeral and stayed at this Hotel. When I told the Front Desk Girl, Lisa, she was so comforting. She made it a point to check on me each day of my stay. The rooms were very, very clean. The staff so friendly and the breakfast great. It sure made my sad time easier. I really appreciate all of the Staff at this La Quinta!
