Filled our need. Only small problem was poorly marked exit signs to I 75North, Passed and had to make u turn.
The white socks I was wearing turned brown walking around on the dirty carpet and bathroom floor. The room also smelled musty, and mildewy. Even the air conditioner smelled. But apparently that is what you encounter in Florida.
Nice people, but the hotel is very old. For the price, you can get a better hotel
Breakfast was great, Pool was great. Outside and room corners and tub were dirty & stained. Lack of Maintenance was apparent. Hotel Staff were polite. Over priced for the level of upkeep to areas.
This motel is for budget travellers who don't mind lack of comfort for the evening . I was unaware of the Laquinta inn reputation. They tried...but it was "clean" I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
For the price ,nice hotel. Pool was decent. The bath tub paint was fading so it seemed like the tub was dirty .
My stay was wonderful. I had easy access to shopping centers, restaurants, and historical landmarks. The staff was very friendly and my room was beautiful. From the outside it looked vintage but once inside it was more than I expected. "Best kept secret"
Friendly staff. Great hotel to stop-and-go. simple breakfast.
Good rate, clean room, friendly helpful staff- very quick to respond to needs. Our remote was broken and we had a new one in just two minutes-maybe less. The front desk clerk that evening was great- Very good service. Nice room, bed comfortable and good quality towels. :) I Would recommend this hotel any time. Good location for our visit to UF.
Clean rooms and the staff was nice and helpful. The rooms are small if you have more then two staying. I would recommend a different hotel
This hotel was ok. Not great. It appears the rooms are recently painted, but there wasn't much attention to covering water spots from apparent leaks. The beds were quite comfortable, so for our needs the room was fine. The cleaning staff needs to learn that corners need to be cleaned as well as everything else. I'd say cleaning style is a lick and a promise. It's the little things that earn the great reviews so this hotel needs to look closer.
Pleasant and courteous staff. Good breakfast. Clean and comfortable room.
The hotel was chosen for our pet needs. They are very welcoming and do not charge extra unless something is ruined by the animal. The hotel rooms and lobby had been renovated and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would stay at this location again!
Nice and clean room, pool needed attention but good overall hotel.
La Quinta inn was perfectly located for my visit - near my roommate's home as well as the cultural attractions of the university.
It was one night sleep on my trip. Very clean and comfortable room. Would recommend this place without hesitation.
Every thing OK. but just. We tried to have breakfast at 9AM on a Friday and nothing was left. Not even coffee, tea or juice. All that was in the breakfast room was overflowing rubbish cans.
Bugs in the rooms and creepy people pacing around outside
We stayed at this hotel 3 nights on business. Although the Bistro cafe in the hotel was only said to open for breakfast at 7am, in fact after 6am they were already serving coffee, which was great for getting out early. The rooms were very nice and clean and the beds were comfortable. Overall a good value for the price.
Forgot my IPad charger, they found one for me, breakfast was good, food hot, parking was readily available, an overall good experience!
