"No"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Clearwater Central

8/10 Good

Our only disappointment was our room was 10’ from the pool, which became noisy. Also we were given an adjoining room, which we did not request and their dog and several around us were barking quite frequently…our only complaint is the acoustics were a little thin… "
