first room assigned to us was dirty...food wrappers and trash scattered about. The alarm clock was covered with a sticky substance and didn't work. The coffee pot didn't work either. Most troubling was the lack of telephone service in the room. There was a phone, but no dial tone, so we couldn't call the front desk for assistance. Had to walk the length of the building to talk to the desk clerk, who stated his apology, and informed us that the new owners weren't investing any dollars to fix broken equipment. He said there were two unoccupied rooms and would see if one had everything working. This room was marginally better..at least the phone worked if we needed it. Air conditioning unit was extremely loud, so it was difficult to get to sleep. Missing plumbing fixtures were tolerable, but we chose not to shower thinking that if the floor was sticky underfoot what could we expect from the shower itself? Water stains on the ceiling, holes in the sheet rock walls,sliding door interior handle was broken...luckily the lock still worked.
No, I will not be recommending this La Quinta Inn, or any other in this chain..
