We typically stay at LaQuinta hotels when a single night of lodging is all we need. The staff was great at check-in, breakfast and check-out.
The appearance of the building upon arrival gave me high hopes our stay world be pleasant. It appeared the exterior of the building was recently remodeled, repainted, etc… the parking lot was clean and the pavement in good shape. It appeared all of the lighting was recently updated as well.
Our check in experience was easy and streamlined. The lobby area was clean and well decorated.
As we headed back towards the elevator hall/lobby, the cleanliness observed in the main lobby started to change.
We stayed in the large family suite with a king bed, kitchenette and living room area.
The elevator vestibule seemed unkempt and we started to notice a few smudges and smears on the walls. The elevator cabs appeared dirty as well.
Our room, suite 302 faces the main road, over the main entry. The road noise was noticeable. Once we settled in, we began to notice lots of hair…long dark hair on the floors, in the bathroom, tub & shower curtain, sink…everywhere. The kitchenette is very tired with loose and sticky cabinet doors. More wall smudges here and there, dirty wall switches, grime on the baseboards and my socks were dirty just walking around the room. We thought of calling management up to the room, however we said it’s just one night and we would deal with it. Breakfast was acceptable and again, pleasant staff all around.
