I was in town for a birthday party and reserved the room at this hotel due to the proximity of the party venue. When we arrived the outside looked decent and well kept but once I walked inside I immediately was met with a moldy smell, poor lighting and very dirty carpet in the waiting/breakfast area. When I got to my room it was much of the same, weird smell dirty carpet, hair in the shower. We were supposed to have two Queens, felt like Twins. It was only for a night but if you staying anymore than that I would stay far, far away from THIS location!

My experience here was amazing. I was in town with my disabled son for his surgery at a local hospital the following morning. I was distraught when we arrived, in tears, tired and frustrated with my own situation. The receptionist Cheyanna was so kind and helpful. She brought over Ms Karen, the hostess, and the two women prayed for my son and I. It was exactly what I needed at the time. I am so thankful for their compassion and love. It was extremely comforting to be treated like family by complete strangers. They gave us an extra blanket for my son's comfort and made us feel right at home. Sometimes it's not the facility, not the cleanliness, not the beds or the rooms that matter...but the heart and soul of the staff that make for an awesome experience. I'm forever grateful for their loving hospitality.

We stayed at the hotel for a concert at the University. If we had more time, we would have found another hotel. The room was FLITHY. The carpet needed replacement as well as the sofa which was full of stains. As soon as we arrived back home, clothes in the wash and in the shower. Never again will we stay at a La Quinta. I should have read the reviews before booking.

We booked a double queen room for a family of 4. After we checked in and inquired about our room with double full beds, we were told there are no queen beds on the property. We were given a roll away bed with 10 loose screws sitting on top of it and a matress as flat as a pancake. The room floor was so filthy we wore the same socks to walk around the room our entire stay. The used to be white socks are now black as tar and were thrown away. The pool was dirty and the hot tub was even worse and cold. All the staff were very nice and accommodating except the Caucasian lady at the front desk. I received a text to check out or pay for late check out. I approached the desk to tell her I was going to check out late and would pay. She rudely said "there is no late check out." I told her I reveived a text and link to pay for it and she rudely repeated herself. The property is old, outdated and doesn’t look anything like the pictures.

Absolutely disgusting!

It was absolutely disgusting! I made it a point to not take my shoes off in the hotel to include my own room. The floors were dark and stained all over. The bathroom floor was dirty and the shower was dark as can be. Instead of cleaning the shower they put a white adhesive over the bottom but that only makes the contrast that much worse.
