Great Customer Service

The hotel is a bit aged, however, it is well kept and clean. The staff, from the counter to the room and everywhere in between were professional, accommodating and friendly. I cannot say enough about how great the staff and service was at this hotel. Furthermore, the continental breakfast is a feast. The breakfast offers waffles, cereals - cold and hot, fresh muffins, bagels, breads and doughnuts. Boiled eggs, juices, milk, coffee, fruit and yogurt were among the choices. The dining area always neat and clean. This would be a definite do again! Even if the hotel is older than other newer ones with similar prices - because of the service.

one night stand

Convenient location with a reasonable price. An older hotel with modest level amenities, this hotel was clean and had an excellent daytime desk staff person. The sound proofing between rooms isn't good and even worse through the hallways. Otherwises, no issues.

The OK type

This hotel was not upto the mark. They were unable to figure out which Laquinta we booked and we have to travel back to another location for our room.I didnt saw any housekeeping done and my room was untidy when i came back from my outing. I had to experience one of the nosiest AC ever (With no cooling effect!)

Great All-Around Stay

Overall, the experience was great. Only complaint is that the hallways smelled musty & stale (like there had been a flood & hallway rugs not cleaned enough. Other than that, we we VERY satisfied with the service & condition of the room. I DO want to say that the "Continental Breakfast" area was OUTSTANDING!The selection of choices for breakfast was FANTASTIC & the attendants did an EXCELLANT job of making sure that there was PLENTY of EVERYTHING available. All personnel were VERY friendly & helpful whenever WE had a question about ANY subject. I would be VERY happy to stay at this facility again in the future!
