"This was an okay hotel that was made better because the staff was so friendly and efficient. They are the best thing about the hotel. The hotel common spaces was very clean and I felt my room was as well. I traveled with a dog and they were accommodating to her. The location was good, though not at all scenic. There were some areas that could be improved. The breakfast was quite basic and the same every day. One day, the waffle mix was way too thin and half ran out as you flipped the waffle to cook. Needless to say, there was no waffle that day. They also ran out of coffee one morning. There was no fruit at all and no sweet rolls or turn overs. Although there were VERY few guests on the day we arrived, we were put in a room that I felt was poorly maintained. It also looked directly out over the cheap hotel behind it. The couch in the room had foot prints imbedded into the covering and scratches as well. I guess we got this basic room because we had a dog. I want to add that my dog is small, very well behaved and non-shedding. Since we were there during a time when there were very few guests, I thought the hotel could have done better. I would stay again if needed, but we visited another pet-friendly hotel on the lake and near the beach, and the slight difference in price for that hotel would have been well worth it. La Quinta - you need to keep your staff in this facility. Without them it would not have been a good experience."
