The property, staff, and room were all great.

The elevator hums loudly and makes noises when riding up and down. Not sure if they are still servicing it to be proper functioning without the noise.

Short of the elevator noise, it was perfect for my visit. I arrived late for the Continental breakfast which was on me. Seemed like was good as almost no potatos left. I didn't have time to eat as had to leave for business matter, and I was so comfortable and slept too deep.

The sleep was solid without noise or distractions.

We had to check out early due to the man in the front being controlling and telling my fiance and myself that we are not allowed to bring in our suitcases with our clothes in it because he said our backpacks which contained our work computers and folders and my purse etc was already brought up stairs. My fiance and I travel for work and we buy and sell antiques. We were supposed to do inventory of some things we have and we planned on doing inventory then bringing them back to our car. Well he said no and he threatened to call the police on us because we wanted our two suitcases with our clothes inside. We had to go out to the car just to get our clothes before we showered. Every time we would come in from work or even a store run he would eyeball us and run out the office door just to stare at us down the hallway to see what we had. He only did this to us, our business partners were livid that inventory wasn’t completed and my work computer that he made me leave in the car I was unable to do any of my work or data entry etc during our stay, the breakfast isn’t hot. It’s cereal and bagels. They are rude and very judgemental.. the first day we were here we used the cart to bring up some stuff like food and our work backpacks, we weren’t in the room for 2 minutes before our room phone rang telling us to bring it back. I was called 5 times within a 10 minute span. I would really like my money back because being harassed isn’t cool. They went in our room and invaded our privacy

We travel for work and we buy antiques and sell antiques and we were trying to bring some of our inventory in to post online and sell. The guy at the front basically told us no. That we couldn’t bring in our belongings. Then said he was going to call the police. I also make shirts and blankets and stickers and also sell them as well. The guy at the front told us no that we can’t bring it into our room although all we were doing was bringing in our inventory to put nicely into our other suitcases and bringing it back down to our car. He was very rude and didn’t even want to hear what we had to say. Last time we stayed here we left it as no one was even in the room. There is nothing stating what we can and can’t bring things in I have no clothes in the room.

The hotel is being remodeled, so it still had work to be done but the completed part of the hotel we're very nice. There is no smoking and a fine will be applied. But pets are welcomed. There is a security fee that I didn't know about. But the staff lowered it security fee to accommodate us. The staff is really what made the stay nice they had so many problems but they communicated the entire time. I look forward to going back when it's finished being renovated.

I booked for La Quinta, so I was very confused as to why it lead me to a motel 6. After 10 minutes when someone came out to greet me, I asked “is this supposed to be for La Quinta” he responded with “Any pets” and proceeded the check in process. The lobby smelled like food, and both elevator and room reeked of urine. The room was gutted out except for a bed, night stand and tv. Didn’t look like the pictures. So 12 feet of emptyness made it very hard for the room to cool down to 68 from 80. Kept it on high the whole night and still woke up semi cool. Didn’t need any covers. Rodents in the restroom. I would use the excuse that you get what you pay for. But I had a way better experience right across the street for same price. Only gave 2 stars because I didn’t die.

Everything about this one is dirty, and the said to be owner doesn't care about the property nor the customer's. The place need an inspection date. Don't waste your vaction here, you will be sorry the moment you drive up, then very disappointed once you walk into the lobby. The room I had for the moment was a view of a dirty pool. So, if you had room 207 on Tuesday evening. You got a clean room because i cleaned it, then was put out over front desk giving me a roll of toilet paper. ALSO, they won't let me add the pictures, I guess because it's going to make hotel.com look bad to.

I have stayed in some cheap hotels before, but have never felt the need to leave like I did with this one. The smell was the first thing I noticed. Strong urine odour in the room, so I checked the air conditioner/heater, and there was mould through it and it appeared that someone had peed in it. There were brown stains all over the wall including some spots of dried blood. There were clumps of hair on the floor as if someone had gotten a haircut but didn't sleep the edges. Many hairs in the sheets and I don't even want to think about how dirty the mattress cover was (I was too afraid to look at the mattress itself). We quickly left and went to another hotel nearby. The staff member at the front desk didn't even seem surprised. He had just arrived on shift to an empty front desk as apparently his colleague (who had checked us in) had just left before he arrived. He was nice enough but the person who checked us in barely said a word and walked away when we were trying to ask a question about having something delivered. I glanced into the room that was supposed to be the gym but it was just pieces of equipment scattered around with tape around them (not operational).
Would give less than 0 if it was possible.

Spoke to the manager who was very apologetic and helpful. Put us in another room on another floor that was cleaner. The rooms are run down. The manager said that they just renovated but i guess the people that stay there keep tearing the rooms up. Will not be returning at all. Only positive note was the manager was very helpful.

I checked in the lobby was nice. Went to the elevator and noticed that side was being remodeled. Got up to the third floor and had a horrific smell of cigarrette smoke. I asked one of the cleaning ladies if there was something they could spray she was very nice. Later went outside and there was dog pee outside by the front doors. The beds were a little stiff but not too bad. Later on in the night the neighbors were going at it talking about beating up someone for something. The next morning we were startled by the fire alarm and kids running up and down the hallways. At around 11:10 we got a phone call from downstairs that we needed to hurry up and check out. As we were leaving a lady said that kids will run up and down the hallways pulling the fire alarm which to me is a HUGE safety problem. Probably wont go back. There were also a lot of shady people hanging around the hotel. Hot water was honestly the best part of the stay.
