I was pleased with my stay and would recommend this hotel.
Pros:

Room was very clean and comfortable. Desk staff were very accommodating and helpful. Location was close to East Town Mall where my board exam testing center was located. Overall satisfied with my stay at La Quinta.

Cons:

A few minor complaints were a plugged bathtub and bed side alarm missing batteries, which the desk staff were willing to fix both.

Overall, a good property and would be back.
Pros:

Breakfast was great, room was nice but bathroom needed more lighting. Bed was comfortable and lots of pillows a bonus.

Cons:

More lighting in bathroom. Elevator needs some updating and seemed dingy and not very well cleaned.
