It was what we needed

We needed a place to stay to and from our vacation destination and this was the best value. We always need a pet friendly place and La Quinta seems to be the best choice for this.

Incompetent staff, rude night maager, and dirty.

Checked in at 3:35 PM. Went to room 216 assignment and room had not been cleaned from previous occupant. Returned to front desk and was reassigned room 149 - at least the beds were made - but the room was dirty, silverfish, a roach, and a grasshopper had taken up residence in the bathroom. Neither toilet, nor tub were clean and a dirty towel hung on the back of the bathroom door. After returning to our roomlate that night, we discovered we only had 2 towels, but there were 3 of us - and I had registered and paid for 3 guests. When I went to the front desk to obtain a 3rd towel, the night manager said he had no towel left, but gave me 4 hand towels. He then said that only 2 towels were issued to a room and that if I didn't like it I could leave and find another motel, which I would have done had it not been past midnight and I was able to get my money back from checking into this Inn.. There must be better places to stay in Baton Rouge!

La Quinta - Baton Rouge

Hotel was good location. Get what you pay for. Can't get from room to office without since rooms only open to the outside. Good value for rates. Rooms clean but not spectacular. Free daily breakfast. Free internet.

For Sleeping It Was OK

The staff was great. I couldn't ask for friendlier staff. However, there were a few dead larger flying insects on the bathroom floor. I saw a live bug crawling across the wall. The bathroom tub had caulking that was installed unprofessionally - someone smeared it across the top of the outer tub shelf. Because I was staying alone and only sleeping there at night, it was ok, but I would have left and went somewhere else if I had my wife with me. The breakfast offered was ok, but nothing outstanding.
