I'd rather deal with the cockroaches than the customer service.
Pros:

Parking is not sufficient to accommodate all of the guests so we (and many other guests) had to park on the grass along the road. Check-in went smoothly and the room initially appeared to be fairly clean. However, we did discover several dead cockroaches in the room and more in the downstairs hallway. Our stay was largely uneventful aside from several very loud guests that the hotel staff was unwilling to address. I suppose they handle that the same way they handle the cockroaches - by ignoring them.

It is also worth noting that this location does not honor the published pet policy. It states: "Max 2 pets for 25 USD per night per room to a max charge of 75 USD." However, the fee charged is $25 per pet per night and there appears to be no limit on the amount they charge as we were charged more than $75. When we requested that the charge be adjusted to reflect the published fee schedule, they refused and told us it "isn't their problem." They blamed it on Wyndham, but Wyndham only publishes exactly what the hotel provides. Over one month later and the hotel continues to publish the above written policy, but in practice, continues to charge more. We would not stay here again.

Save yourself the headache(literally)
Pros:

The double queen suite was very spacious. The pull out need was more comfortable than other pull out beds.

The two queens beds were extremely uncomfortable, the slanted down towards the feet.

There was a terribly strong air freshener smell that i noticed right upon checking in.. it lingered in the rooms and hall our entire 4 day stay- i confirmed with the front desk and the gal showed me the freshener they use. It was giving me and my kids a headache. Its strong, smells like harsh chemicals, and is overused throughout the whole property.

Breakfast was mediocre. Flavorless waffles and wet scrambled eggs.

The pool was so heavily chlorinated we didn't stay very long. It was hard just to breathe.

Our beds had black hair all over it. When called the front for new sheets, they gave us sheets with brown streaks on them. Also, the curtains do not fully close. There was bright light in all day and night.

The shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were all completely out. I found out in the shower trying to get ready for church.

They also don't have any water on site. I asked for any water fountains or anything to drink and they said they didn't have anything available unless you bought bottled water.

So, if you're just looking for a big room- this is your place. If you're looking for any type of quality, go to a different place. I have used this hotel chain before without problems, so I'm guessing this is just a management issue.

Night attendant saved the day, and don’t stay here if you want a well maintained, clean property.
Pros:

If you don’t like dive bars, and have a lot of money to spend, this is not the hotel for you. The property is not well maintained, lots of cleaning is needed, found a hair in the shower, BUT, the night attendant went out of his way to accommodate my family. Through my OWN fault, I thought I had reserved a room with a queen and a sofa bed. Turns out it was one room for 2 adults and 1 child. Night attendant (I want to say his name is Keith(?) went above and beyond to bring us a rollaway and set it up for us. This was a one night stay, and I wasn’t expecting much, but the night attendant was apparently a hard worker and cared a whole bunch about the property, but you could see clearly he was beaten down by poor management and lack of staff. There are still good people in the world, and shout out to night attendant for giving me hope in humanity in a dark world.

Best hotel we have been to in Rochester, MN.
Pros:

Have been to Rochester 3 times in the past year for 6 days at a time. La Quinta was the best. Clean, good breakfast, friendly staff and wonderful pools to take our grandson.

Very nice hotel for the price!
Pros:

Clean, modern decor, free breakfast! I wish they would have softer sheets and out soap dispensers were all out. So we had to call for refills. Other than that inexpensive close to bars and restaurants and movie theaters.

Great Service at La Quinta Motel
Pros:

My daughter had an appointment at Mayo and as we were checking in, the front desk clerk was So Helpful with the Shuttle information and made us feel Welcomed. We tried out the pool and Hot Tub and loved that it was a Salt water pool. Our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We both slept well. After we got back home and as I was unpacking my suitcase I realized I had left my swimsuit hanging on the bathroom door in our motel room. I called the motel and asked if they found my swimsuit. They took my phone number and called me back saying they have my swimsuit. I am So impressed by the wonderful Service we received from La Quinta Motel! We will definitely stay there again!

Worst hotel ever.
Pros:

We paid $500 for 2 nights for everything in our room to be dirty or broken. First impression was our door had a chunk missing out of it. We walk in and it smells damp and gross. The front light by the main entry flickered nonstop. The floor of the bathtub was yellow. Our hand soap was completely empty. Our lampshade on the night stand was broken off and didnt stay straight up. You had to lean it against the wall. Another lamp shade looked like someone punched it and the other was peeling. One of the curtains had a huge stain on the bottom. Assuming that was from some sort of water damage because in the same corner the trim was separating from the wall. And to top it all off our phone in our room had the cord cut. The worst hotel I've ever been to.

Nice room! Friendly staff.
Pros:

We stayed at the La Quinta in Rochester MN. We had a nice room on the 4 the floor. It was clean and roomy. Big bathroom!
No complaints. There's a microwave, refrigerator and a Keurig coffee maker. Free breakfast downstairs. Full breakfast, scrambled eggs, waffles, cereal, bagels toast, muffins, apples, sausage gravy, mashed potatoes (weird), fresh coffee and juices. Staff was super nice. My friend and I stayed here a month ago in a different room but same type. It was really bad. The lamp shade was totally busted up, the dresser had broken drawers. Dirty under the beds. It was a totally different experience. Even though there were issues with that room we both agreed we'd stay there again. So here we are!! And we got a great room this time!! They allow pets (for a small fee $25) I brought my Chihuahua Hickory. He was a perfect traveler.
I recommend this hotel! I'd rate it a 7/10.

Beat Down Hotel
Pros:

For a newer hotel, the rooms look beat. Lots of mold in showers. Rusted bathroom door frames. My fridge was broken. Four days arguing with then, it finally froze all my food solid! Painting done by a 2 year old, they painted tiles and mirror. Dresser was sitting on shims, but still not level enough for drawers to open. Microwave didnt have a working turntable. Lampshades had holes in them. I think this room had a wrestling match! Sure was not a room to rent out. Needs lots of work La Quinta!!!!

Pros:

Close to hwy, close to businesses. Rooms were relatively clean (some minor issues need to be addressed) and comfortable. Hot breakfast was served, not just continental

Cons:

Some minor damages in the rooms
