It seemed us at 2 o’clock in the morning to get a car rental after our plane flight was canceled at midnight and the next plane we could get on was at 9:00 PM the next day. We needed a one-way car rental that they don’t like to do since we live in a small town in Montana., But you made it happen!

Breakfast was great. The lady that ran the kitchen was super nice and cheerful. Room was nice. The only complaint was our hand soap and lotion bottles were empty. We told the front desk and they were going to take care of it but they didn't. Otherwise, we had a great stay.

Our room was a nice size. I especially liked the bed and pillows. Everything in our room was spon on. There was a floor drain somewhere before you walk into the pool. It just needs water poured down it because it stinks.
Also! The information on the back of the door states check out time is noon. The front desk shows it's 11. I was here not too long ago and they weren't aware the times were different. They need to change the signs in the rooms!
The pool was small and a bit chilly. After we left, they called us to let us know I had left my makeup mirror there and we went and picked it up. I really appreciated that. We'll be back

I asked where ice was when we came in and went to second floor to get it and the desk clerk met me up there with bag and ice bucket to save me an extra trip. Very thoughtful gentleman

Everything about the hotel was great except the weekday breakfast. It was awful. Ran out of food by 8:00am. Nothing but eggs and cereal. The weekend breakfast was much better - different cook.

The room was clean and comfortable, as you would expect from La Quinta. The hotel had nice carts available for moving the luggage in and out. It also had something a lot of hotels should have - 2 elevators. Check-in was quick and simple. The breakfast was very good. They eggs, sausage, hash browns, waffles and more. Nice stay, I'll go back again.

The front desk service here is exceptional; the gentleman who checked me in was amazing and truly made me feel at home. I really appreciated the hot food options for breakfast in the lobby, and while there wasn't an outdoor dining area, there was a great grassy spot outside that was perfect for my dog. Very welcoming stay!

Room was dirty. Brown marks on wall near toilet, greasy slimy marks on door and peephole. Frozen refrigerator. Wall had weird drop marks. AC didn't work. Orange stains on comforter. Shower flooded the room. Stairs and exit door kept me awake until 2am. Pool was closed because they over chlorinated and got people sick (according to recent review)

I would like to rate the staff higher however this is the second year I have had an issue with the housekeeping staff. My husband and I attend an event not far from this hotel around the same time every year. Because the event doesn’t start until later in the day, I asked for a late checkout. For $15 I was given until 1 pm. But even though I had a late checkout, the housekeeping staff began knocking on my door at 9 AM. I told them to go away, which means I’m obviously occupying the room and I had not checked out. They then knocked on my door at 10 AM which I said please go away. I have a late checkout. And then at 10:30, I could hear someone trying to use a key card to open the door without knocking. Luckily, I had locked the deadbolt. At 11 AM, I received another knock in which I walked up to the door and said please go away. I have a late checkout. Call the front desk. And then again at noon, they knocked on the door. At this point, I was very upset. I told the housekeeper to please go away, that I had a late checkout, and that she needed to call the front desk. She just stood outside my door until I walked back to it and told her if you don’t leave, I’ll call them and tell them you’re harassing me. Due to a health issue it is difficult for me to sleep. All of this made it impossible. I used to work in a hotel- this was ridiculous.

Breakfast was the same all 3 days so that was a disappointment. Had to ask for towels multiple times to get them as they were not sent to the room as they stated would happen. Pool area needs to have adult supervision enforced as many young kids left alone to be obnoxiously loud while their parents gathered to drink in the lobby.

We had a great experience. The staff was great! We had an issue with the internet but the front desk was quick to help us fix it. The room was clean, beds were comfortable. They had a nice breakfast in the morning. The noise from the highway is pretty loud so if you are noise sensitive you would want to have a noise machine. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

Options for dining in the area, but not a lot of shopping options. The room was clean, but the carpet did have a rip.in it and the edges were fraying...most likely needs to be replaced.

No tub for soaking, but the shower was very nice, the room was very clean and the overall facilities were nice and clean.

The hotel was very nice, clean, spacious and well decorated. The staff were all very nice and attentive.

The hotel was very nice. The only problem I had was a very present loud buzzing noise that persisted throughout the entire night. It never relented. I couldn’t find the precise source to see if I could turn it off so I had to do my best to try to ignore the humming buzzing sound. It sounded like an alarm was going off somewhere in my room and couldn’t be tuned off.
Other than the incredibly annoying buzzing alarm constantly sounding in my room, it was a decent hotel.
