I wasn’t staying there for a four star experience. It was a place to sleep. It was nice for that. It was just a little.
Pros:

It’s a good location. It felt relatively safe. It was easy to get where I needed to go and there were amenities nearby.

The breakfast was decent. It was pretty much the same every day.

Cons:

There was a washcloth that was not part of the hotel room left on a shower on the shower rod. It was a different color and it was gross and I threw it off. It was in my shower. The floors were kind of wet when I walked in there, and it was kind of gross as far as the floor is in the room the smoke detector was pulled from the wall. The water itself was extremely hard and wouldn’t even my shampoo wouldn’t even like foam I couldn’t my shampoo and the conditioner because the water was so hard and then it stuck to my hair. Everything stuck to my hair in my body.

There were some people there who were I don’t know they were a little different than I would’ve expected. I didn’t really get to check out the pool, but it looks like there were some nice things about it. It just was a little bit rundown and it wouldn’t take too much to make it nicer, but it needs a little bit of an update.

Great location, enjoyed the indoor pool and jacuzzi
Pros:

The person at the font desk was very nice and was willing to help in any way. The place has an indoor pool and jacuzzi, which was amazing. The value was amazing, and the location was great too.

Cons:

The stairwell has a bad smell. It's an older hotel and could use an upgrade.

We won't stay there again. I'm sure this review won't make the reviews.
Pros:

Price was fine. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Tub was very outdated and was hard to stand in. The sides slanted to the center. The air conditioner cooled fine , but sounded like a lawn mower motor. Ended up turning it off because of the noise and was extremely hot that day and evening.

Bad pool experience!
Pros:

Everything was fine except the pool experience! There was a group that were playing very rough in the pool and then a group of baseball player kids that wre throwing balls outside the pool. Actually hit a younger child and caused a welt on his arm. The adults were out on the patio paying no attention and very loud until at least 10:00 pm. We could hear them well outside of room 313. We went and got the front desk guy once but they paid no attention to him when he came in. This was our first bad experience at this laquinta. The younger kids also took over the hit tub several times! Like 10 of them.
