Detailed Reviews
Location is close to venues we like.
For the price, we agree it is high for the shape this property is in.
First of all, the heater was on so high in the hallway that it made our room uncomfortably warm.
Ceiling in our room had a big ugly obvious patched leak mark all the way across the width of it.
Beds were very uncomfortable.
We had a 2 queen bed room. The one bed was all the way next to the corner of the AC unit so we had to climb over it to get in.
Room was clean and staff was nice!
Toilet needs to be fixed. We had to hold down the handle to flush. Then it wouldn't fill some had to remove the lid and pull up on the water dispenser.
The included breakfast was continental style. Eggs & sausage were bland. Waffles were good.
We stay at a lot of hotels due to my husband's job. This one needs to do some work to the place in order for it to be worth the price charged. We think it is taking advantage of the location being close to 2 popular venues.

Reserved Executive Suite. Bed felt old, uncomfortable. Bathroom absurdly small and bathtub old with a broken fixture for the drain.
Pet fee policy of $25 per pet per night and not advertised in advance.
Smoking area is outside within feet of the closest door to access the elevator. I’d estimate 85-90% of clients would use the elevators as it is a four story hotel.

Looked to Book with La Quinta come to find out. It was through hotelplanner.com after I paid almost double of their advertised price of $97 for one night. After checking out On their website I see a charge for a hundred eighty three dollars Instead of ninety seven dollars Tax and recovery fee $72 and $14 refund protection fee AFTER payment. Tried to cancel within 2 hours and they refused. BE AWARE@! La Quinta should NOT be doing business with this Company. Hotelplanner.com is a SCAM

The hotel's rooms are immaculately kept, with pillows of exceptional comfort, necessitating removal of some from the bed. Breakfast presents a wide range of choices, encompassing prepared dishes, self-service options, and beverages. Staff members demonstrate remarkable courtesy and assistance, augmented by a convenient facility offering food and drink provisions. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, I was fortunate to find refuge in this outstanding establishment.

The greating on arrival set the stage for a very pleasant stay. Staff was good natured and accommodating. Building and grounds are attractive. Room was spotless, bed was comfortable and pillows were good. Even the air conditioner was quiet with no stale odor and the curtains were not blowing all around. Breakfast was very good and plentiful with a good natured hostess.We were so pleased with this hotel and it was representative of the original LaQuinta qualities.

This is the first time I have stayed in any hotel with my 2 dogs. We weren't vacationing, we evacuated from Fort Myers due to Hurricane Ian - the staff was courteous to my dogs, not just me.
They have a safe grassy area behind the hotel to walk your dogs and there is a trash can dedicated to poop bags. This was an incredible stay even if I didn't have pets. The king bed was comfortable- the spacious room had a fridge & microwave and good coffee downstairs every morning. The photos on their website are 100% accurate so I won't add any of mine. Minutes to a Super Walmart if you forgot anything. Jeff, the assistant manager did an outstanding job with 2 requests I had. While the breakfast consisted of only juice, Belgian waffles, yogurt and cereal it's free

We traveled to visit family for 5 nights. The hotel was quiet, never heard people in the rooms next to us at all! There was plenty of coffee in the lobby as well as a few single cup packages for the small brewer in our room. We don’t eat breakfast, but there were scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles, cereal, yogurt and fruit in the lobby every morning 6 -9 am.

Very very clean, looks so pristine, must have been recently renovated. No negatives we saw. One minor positive that was a big hit for us: the soap for use in the shower were wonderfully scented Dove bars, but of a slightly larger size than the typical tiny flat soaps found in hotels. Sounds trivial, but it made this wonderfully clean establishment stand out for us.

AWFUL experience! We had stayed here a few months ago with our kids and had a good experience, but this time was a different story. We checked in and the first thing we always do is check for bugs. We lifted the mattress and found several dead bugs that appeared to be bed bugs. We went back to the front desk and told them about the bugs, and that we wanted a refund because we were going somewhere else. The manager offered us another room and when he declined he acted like we were absurd for wanting to go somewhere else. We felt that clearly it was not clean, the bugs were very obvious, so we just wanted to go somewhere else. First he argued with us about a refund at all ($650 was our total for the stay and this was our first night), and then he said the only way he would refund 3/4 nights is if we didn't book through a travel site, which we did not. He wrote out a handwritten note that he had us sign saying we refused another room and reluctantly agreed to refund 3/4 nights, even though we were in our room for less than 1 minute. He said that was their cancellation policy, but we felt this was different circumstances than a typical cancellation and we deserved a refund. Very bad experience and we will not be back!

I was charged $30 to check in two hours ahead of typical check-in time. I travel extensively for work and have never had this happen. The room was ready, so there was no extra work involved. I feel like ever since Covid, We are being nickel and dime to death. Then I had to wait 10 minutes to get into a room I paid extra for. Elevator smelled like bug spray.
The rooms were clean though.

Yes!
I believe the pool opens at 8 a.m. and yes, there is a biker bar next door, but only one night a week! Nothing like the sound several hundred Harleys! On the other hand, the "music" is very loud, but stops at 11 p.m.
Yes! We are pet friendly!
We are 40 to 45 minutes away from the clear water beach, which is the very good beach.
