On the positive side, let me say that the room itself was nice and comfortable. It was clean, quiet, spacious, and had a comfortable bed. The only thing wing in the room was that one of the curtains was falling down, which of course was the first things you see walking in. There is a lot of good shopping and restaurants very near the hotel, and it's close to the airport without being too close, and has excellent highway access.
Everything else left a lot to be desired. As a former hotel clerk, and a reasonably frequent guest of La Quinta, I was embarrassed for them. The exterior is sloppy, with knee high weeds and pot holes and untrimmed everything. If I were just driving by looking for a place to stay, I would drive away.
The front desk staff were ok, but not especially helpful or clear. It took me nearly 15 minutes of wandering around before I managed to find my room because all he said was back side, not go outside, across the central parking lot and into the other wing.
Breakfast was...pitiful. A couple of bagels, apples, and two kinds of cereal. Coffee and milk, but no juice.
While I can understand requiring a deposit, $100 that you won't get back for 7-14 business days is ridiculous, and feels like they're just hoping you'll forget and won't notice if your deposit is accidentally not returned.
I'll be staying elsewhere in the future.
