Horrible Both Times -- Stay Somewhere Else!
We arrived exhausted after 12 hours of driving and flying. Got the room key, opened the door, and were greeted with a dirty room. Unmade beds and used feminine products all over the floor. Gross! Had to go back to the desk and get another room. This one was was cleaner by comparison, but our stomachs were still flipping. What a bummer.
We had reservations the following week for our return home. We thought we'd give it another chance. The room was clean, so we brought our stuff in. I took my shoes off and discovered that the carpet had recently been shampooed -- so recently that the rug was still wet. My traveling partner was irate, and I don't blame him. So was I. We just gave up and stayed. The room was dank because of the wet carpet, and the bathroom floor was sticky. No washcloths in the bathroom.
We requested a wake up call for 6 am. We never got it. It's a good thing I woke up on my own or we would have missed our flight.
I will never, ever stay at another La Quinta (Spanish for dismal) hotel. Wish I had spent a few dollars more and stayed somel=place else ... it would have been worth it.
