The front desk staff, particularly the front office manager, demonstrated exceptional customer service during my stay at this property. However, regrettably, I experienced several issues during my visit that have left me with an overall negative impression of the establishment. This was my second stay at this location, and on both occasions, I encountered problems. During my first visit some years ago, I was chased by a dog and had to seek refuge by jumping onto the front desk counter, despite the owner's assurance that the dog did not bite.During my most recent stay, I paid a fee to check-in early and requested a poolside view room, which I did not receive initially (335). However, the hotel staff was accommodating and promptly changed our room upon request. Although a tree obstructed the pool view from the new room, we decided not to move again (301). Unfortunately, the room was in a deplorable condition, with evidence of leftover food, hair in the sink and on the toilet, and candy stuck to the nightstand table. We brought this to the attention of the front desk, and they promised to clean the room while we were out. Upon our return, the room was still not clean, causing further frustration.We were relocated to another room (635), which also did not provide a pool view. Although the hotel advertised the sixth floor as a pet-free, business-level, we discovered that this was not entirely accurate, as a resident sneaked in their dog through the back door. Additionally, the hotel hosted the Ruff Ryder biker club for their annual meeting, which resulted in overcrowding, noise pollution, and general disturbance to other guests. The biker group hosted a meet and greet event in the parking lot, which resulted in loud music and motorcycle revving, leading to a more unpleasant stay.The hotel advertised an early breakfast start time of 5:30 am; however, when we visited the breakfast area at 6 am on Sunday or Monday, the attendant informed us that breakfast was not ready as she had to run both the kitchen and the front desk. Although the GM, Bill, had his contact information displayed throughout the hotel for guest concerns, I did not reach out to him as I was eager to leave the property due to the numerous issues encountered.In summary, while the front desk staff, particularly the front office manager, provided exceptional service, the issues encountered during my stay have left me with an unfavorable impression of the La Quinta Inn brand, regardless of location.You would come out cheaper just going to Super 8 or Motel 6 and get the same or probably better quality than you get here.
