Ballston Spa La Quinta Inn & Suites

"Room needs a cleaning and an update. Peeling paint in the bathroom."

"This place is misleading and poorly maintained. It looks nothing like the photos shown on Expedia. I specifically booked a non-smoking room, but it was clearly a smoking room. The smell was overwhelming—so strong that all of my clothes and belongings ended up smelling like smoke after just one night. Cleanliness was a serious issue. There was visible dust on the chair and even trash left under it, which made it obvious the room hadn’t been properly cleaned. The bedsheets didn’t feel fresh and seemed reused, which was honestly unacceptable. Basic amenities were also missing—there was no soap provided, and the shower gel dispenser on the wall was completely empty. I understand this was a budget stay, but this experience went far beyond what should be acceptable at any price point. This is essentially a motel being advertised as something much better. I take responsibility for choosing this place, but I’m leaving this review so others can avoid the same mistake. "
