not pleased!
The gentleman checking us in didn't have much personality (it was obvious that he doesn't like his job). Pool was "temporality closed" and the main reason for going to this hotel was so my kids could swim in pool :(.

Ask if you can use the pool
I reserved this hotel because it has a pool. Of course it was closed. My husband asked why. Apparently it needs to be inspected by the state first and that they were dragging their feet. I was irritated as I could have booked a less expensive hotel without a pool had I known LaQuintas pool was not available. I cant get my money back, but at almost $500.00 for two nights, I,feel kind of ripped off.

Very mid experience. Good place to sleep if you’re on the road. Wouldn’t spend more than a night. Too expensive otherwise.
