La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West, Orlando

I was concerned when I read other reviews of this hotel before I stay in Orlando. We stayed twice (one night before our Disney cruise and one after) and all was OK. The second time we actually took advantage of the pool which was nice and relaxing. The "odd" smell that people report in their reviews comes from the ventilation (so just turn it off if you do not like the smell). As recommended by other reviews, go eat at the Fish on Fire (right beside the hotel). It does not look like much but the food and services are GREAT.

We have used this property for groups and meetings for a number of years and have always found the management easy to work with and able to accomodate all of our needs. We will use them again if the need arises.

this hotel wasn't terribly bad, it had a few "down sides" i could of done without. the property is starting to show wear and tear. the staff were very helpful and friendly. there was free shuttle from the airport to the hotel(vise versa).the breakfast was your basic coffee, juice, bagels,ceral,fruit etc. but served it's purpose. the pool was nice and clean. the wasn't much around there to do except there is a restaurant/bar next door called "fish on fire" that had live music on wknds. and the food was decent. my biggest complaint was definatley the SMELL of the room when we entered it. im not sure what it was, but is smelled like to much CLEANER!! LAY OFF of it and have them professionally cleaned and use cleaners with less toxic agents. we got use to the smell the following day(thank goodness lol). the tub in our room also needed scrubbed a little better. probally would not return to this hotel.

I was extremely happy with this hotel. The gentlemen who drove the airport shuttle were both very friendly. The hotel itself was affordable and in very nice condition. It was also very clean. Jan was working the desk when I checked in and when I checked out. She was extremely helpful and courteous. She exemplifies good customer service.

very bad and boring it has horrible service the pool was HOT and the location looks nice buts poor the cost should be 2.50 per night not 55

"Nonsmoking" room reeked of cigarettes;property unkempt & clearly had been used a personal urinal in different areas of the property;several individuals frequenting the hotel (not guests) watching female teenage guests at the pool. Felt unsafe there.

We were pleasantly surprised during our one night stay at this hotel. We had a 8 a.m. flight out the next morning. They are in the process of refurbishing all the rooms & our room was one of the newly done. Clean, spacious,comfortable beds,and NONE of the previously reported mold smells. The continentail breakfast was a nice feature when heading off to the airport. Used the shuttle to get to the airport so we could leave our car there & not pay any additional parking. On the morning of our flight we took the shuttle to the airport.Just before we were able to enter the airport there had been a bad accident with the car upside down. We thought we were going to miss our plane but the shuttle driver knew just what to do he knew how to use an alternate route to the airport & we made it with time to spare. I thank him & LaQuinta for their pleasant staff & nice hotal. Highly recommend to all travelers especially when using the airport. When we returned the shuttle driver that picked us up drove us right to our car & wouldn't accept a tip. Doesn't happen often in this day & age. Only problem is that the shuttle runs just on the hour && not after 11 p.m. at night. It would help if early morning runs could be scheduled on the half hour.

The best thing I like of this Hotel is the Location, but most of all the people that work there. Also, the last time my wife and I stayed at your Hotel, July, 2005, we were able to see the launch from our room. The Continental breakfast is great. This is why I have made this Hotel La Quinta West my place to stay everytime I am in Orlando. Thank you for your great hospitality.

A bit of a disappointment. Room was clean and bed was comfortable, but overall the place looked like it needed some sprucing up. The desk help was courteous. The knob on the shower in our room read wrong - turning it in the direction of "hot" produced cold water, and vice versa. The complimentary breakfast (bagels, muffins, cereal, juice, coffee) was adequate. Convenient to the airport, though. My brother, who had made the reservations, said the La Quintas in Arizona were much nicer and also offered hot dishes for breakfast as well.

Had been warned (maybe on this site) of the moldy smell in this Hotel. Just spent one night coming from Disney and Ocala visit, as we had returned our rental car and figured we'd use the Hotel jitney( only runs hourly, and not late night Bad smell and wake-up call not happening led to a bad news visit. Get on side away from pool and maybe smell is not so bad Smell was really bad----- moldy-type. Offered new room after complaint, but we were too tired after time at Disney to move ,. Wake up call scheduled for 5 a.m. Never got any call and missed jitney to airport, Left over an hour late as we had slept over thru fault of Hotel. Panic that we would miss our flight. While I was ranting, La Quinta staff credited us with full cost of the room , which meant nothing if we missed the plane. Luckily I woke up a little after 6 and we had allowed extra time. Got there with 15 minutes to spare before the flight left mostly . because the jitney made its first stop at Delta Song instead of the other airline on their regular schedule,.because of our problem. When we actually got on the plane, and panic passed, we appreciated the credit to our bill and relaxed., A bad, bad experience. Yes....tipped jitney driver a little generously. .Price is good if they could get rid of the stink in the rooms (Possible?). Set the alarm yourself in the room, being extra careful with the a.m. and p,m settings,for protection in case the Hotel system is still messed up. Maybe rooms on side away from pool smell a little better.
