Never Again

I have stayed at La Quinta's before and have always had a great experience but this one was one of the worst experiences in my hotels stays. I have to say the staff was nice but the quality of the rooms were terrible. We should have known by the dirty hallways that our room wouldn't be the best. The first room we had almost knocked us out as we walked in with a musty smell. We sprayed it down with deoderizer and it didn't make a difference. Then the toilet wouldn't flush, the phone didn't work, and the floor was damp in spots. Well we called the manager and like I said the people were nice but we were told the floor was that way because the air wasn't on, the chain was off the toilet, and the phone just probably needed the connections checked (well when connections were checked it still didn't work). He said he would get someone up to fix it. We left when we came back about 2 hours later it smelled worse, the phone still did not work, the floor was still damp and the toilet still did not flush. By the way we were with a group and they didn't have much better luck. So because of health issues (diabetes and emphysema0 we asked to be moved along with one other room from our group. We were given two more rooms to look at. They weren't much better so the one lady decided to keep her room, we found one with a dry floor and took it. Well the toilet had to be flushed 3-4 times each time (they did plunge it) and I saw a roach on the bathroom floor along with hair in the tub that shouldn't of been their and the paper around the toilet tissue had stains on it. My daughter said the lock on the pool fence was broken and as we watched out our window keeping an eye on our van there were people hanging around it making loud noises. Needless to say we couldn't wait for morning to come and have the complimentary breakfast (that's another story). I would not reccomend this hotel. By the way I forgot to tell you that someone tried to go into this other persons room down the hall and when the went to the door they took off.
