Still searching for a warm pool!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/13/11
This hotel has 1:00 check in, and I was able to check in at 2:30. I asked for a room near the pool. They gave me one on the fourth floor. It was fairly clean, except the recliner was dusty and the windows need washed. There was interstate noise, but I did get some sleep. The bed was very comfortable. The public areas were hot, especially the elevator. Stepping off the elevator, it was like being hit in the face with cigarette smoke. I am allergic to it. The breakfast area was hot. Breakfast was a little less than average. There is only one ice machine and vending, on the first floor. I was so looking forward to a swim, and they advertised heated pool. It was ice cold! That is a deal breaker for me. I have given the neighboring Best Western the boot for the same reason and thought I would check La Quinta out . You all are trying to save energy (money), but if you want return business, you need to make your guests comfortable. I had stayed at a La Quinta in Colorado that had a very comfortable pool. Sorry, you lose.
