| - We stayed here the night before my girlfriend's flight and didn't really know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised that it was a pretty good business hotel! I'll list the good and bad separately.
Good: The sheets were clean, the room was clean, the water was hot, the amenities were good for the price point and the beds were fairly comfortable. Wifi was easy to connect to and signal was strong.
Bad: We saw dozens of dogs in this hotel...I know people love their pets, but allowing pets in a hotel without proper fogging is just asking for flea problems, especially since most people let their pets on the bed. Fortunately, we didn't have any problems with fleas. We DID have a problem with the night staff, though. The clerk was nice enough, but the second lady (who did the cleaning, I suppose) has a SERIOUS attitude problem. She was very rude to my Chinese girlfriend, who doesn't always pick up rapid English when it's not spoken directly to her. We also heard this unpleasant woman tell our neighboring room that "YOU DO NOT TELL ME TO GET YOU ANYTHING. YOU TELL THE FRONT DESK AND SHE TELLS ME TO GET THEM. THAT IS HOW IT WORKS. " All in a loud, echoing voice.
I suppose the breakfast was just OK. Very light on meat and heavy on cheap carbs, but it was enough to get us out of the door in the morning. We liked this hotel, but might avoid this particular La Quinta because of that lady. After hours of driving, we want smiles and not rude barking from a staff member that rivals the dogs that bring fleas into the rooms....
Also of note: You can reserve a room with a card, but you must ALSO let them put a hold on your card for the full room amount until checkout. You can pay cash at checkout. This wasn't explained to us until we were at the counter.
