The room was nice and seemed remodeled but that stopped right at the bathroom. The bathroom was absolutely dilapidated and extremely gross. It seemed that they just didn't want to invest in repairing the bathrooms. I probably won't be back unless I really really have to.

Filthy dump, avoid at all costs

Believe the other bad reviews. This place is a dump. The rooms smell and haven't been deep cleaned in 30 years, the water pressure is terrible, there is trash all over the exterior corridors, the bed sheets all have holes in them. I was honestly scared to touch anything. There's a reason it's cheap- the building should be torn down. They are in the process of renovating, but that doesn't justify taking your money to stay in a room in the current condition. Absolutely horrible.

Corporate needs to come down and take a corrective action or shutdown this establishment. The first room I had received did not have the amenities of a standard room. Our microwave was broken and towels weren't available to accommodate 3 people for a double queen room. The biggest issue was the water pipe under the sink for the bathroom which was leaking out water that had gotten all over the floor. I tried to call the front desk to notify them immediately and to my surprise no phone was present within the room to call the front desk. So I ended up walking all the way up there to let them know verbally. Other than my personal experience with the rooms, outside the rooms I had seen two vagrants in the hall ways with their bicycles and stuffs. One of them was watching people park and standing in the parking area looking closely at people. Cars were speeding off outside our room and some of the parking spots had shingles from the roof falling onto cars parked nearby. It does not help that there is a Hooters eating establishment nearby since one of the nights 4 police cars pulled up to that eating establishment to handle a situation inside. There is limited space and only one entrance to go in and out of the hotel are that is in front of the Hooters. I would give zero stars instead of one and won't ever be returning back to that hotel again. Also would reconsider never staying at a La Quinta Inn again either.

Absolutely Disgusting! Avoid La Quinta Inn Like the Plague! I don’t even know where to start with how horrific my experience was at La Quinta Inn. If I could give this place negative stars, I would. From the moment I stepped into the room, I was hit with an overwhelming stench that screamed “health hazard.” The bathroom was absolutely vile, covered in mold as if it had been abandoned in a horror movie. It's hard to believe that any establishment would dare to rent out a room in that condition! And then there were the bedbugs. Yes, you read that right—BEDBUGS! I didn’t just see one; I felt like I was in a creepy crawlspace nightmare. The disgusting, filthy bed linens looked as if they hadn’t been washed since the last century. Who knows what kind of germs and filth were lurking on them? I wouldn't have let my worst enemy sleep there! To make matters even worse, my partner and I faced outright discrimination during our stay. We were treated horribly by the staff solely because we are gay. Instead of being welcomed like any other guests, we were met with disdain and hostility that was completely unwarranted. It's appalling that in this day and age, a place like La Quinta Inn can still harbor such bigotry. When I demanded a refund after realizing that there was no way I could possibly stay there without risking my health, the front desk staff treated me like I was the problem instead of taking responsibility for the horrors they are offering. Never again!

The front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room accommodations were limited. The bathroom, tub and shower were black. We decided not to shower it was so bad. For a last minute bed with low cost pet friendly stay, it was what we needed, but i wouldnt stay here for an actual vacation.
