Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Generally praised as very clean by many guests, but there is at least one serious complaint (stained sheets, dirty carpets, door grime) that lowers the score from excellence to above average.
Service
9.2
Staff frequently described as friendly, helpful and impeccable (housekeeping, front desk, night staff), though a few isolated lapses were reported (front desk not mentioning broken door, evening staff ignoring guests). Overall service is a strong positive.
Location
9.2
Consistently noted as convenient and easy to access from the interstate with many nearby restaurants and shopping; location is a clear strength for most reviewers.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms are often described as clean and comfortable, but several comments cite dated fixtures, plumbing issues (slow drain, running toilet), occasional loud highway noise and a squeaky bed, pulling the score below top-tier.
Amenities
9
Breakfast, warm pool, cookies, pet-friendly policy and availability of accessible rooms were frequently praised; amenities are viewed positively and add clear guest value.
Value for Money
8
Most guests imply reasonable value, but a notable negative experience (booking.com rate not honored resulting in an extra $30) and occasional dated-room comments reduce the perceived value somewhat.
Food and Beverage
9.1
Breakfast is repeatedly described as well stocked, delicious and even 'amazing' by multiple guests; a few found it 'kind of boring,' but overall F&B is a strong positive.
Overall Experience
10
Majority of stays are described as great, excellent or would return; repeat guests, strong staff interactions and consistently good breakfasts drive a very positive overall impression despite a few isolated operational issues.

Great stay as always except for door issue…been stopping past 5 or 6 years on way to Arkansas to visit grandkids
Cons:

After checking in drove around back to bring luggage in. Sign on door said broke to not use. Carried all luggage around to front door. Front desk person should have mentioned it. Then to top it off she said oh you can use the door…why have to sign on it?

Best LA Quinta we have seen.
Pros:

Kat, the head of housekeeping was especially helpful. I had forgotten my shower chair being disabled and she let me shower in a disabled room. What a help!

Pros:

The room was very nice, but the toilet and sink needs attention. This old and needs a plumber to tighten up or replace. It made it seem dingy. But the bed was soft, I slept without being awakened, its jut dated and needs some TLC.

Cons:

Plumbing updated, sink drained very slowly, toilet tank needed jiggling to get water to stop running, filling.

poor management between booking.com and hotel.
Pros:

Breakfast and location ok

Cons:

Booking.com gave me a price which was not honored at the hotel. Had to accept a $30 increase to stay after a long day of traveling. Will not stay at this hotel again.
