Positive Reviews
positive:
Good substantial breakfast
Unlike many other La Quinta properties, this one seems to include a wide variety of hot foods in its breakfast line-up. This seems to have made all the difference, with guest saying that it was a substantial spread, with enough variety that all could construct a personal breakfast that they enjoyed.
positive:
Spotlessly clean
Whatever other small problems guests may have had with their room, its cleanliness was not one of them. An incredible number of guests commented that they were very satisfied with the cleanliness of their room on check-in, even those who admitted to being very demanding in this area.
positive:
Rooms pretty spacious
Even guests staying in the standard rooms seemed to be very happy with the size of their rooms, let alone those staying in the suites. Aside from the practical considerations, guests clearly enjoyed the feeling of luxury that the additional space created.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A bit hard to find
Despite being very close to an I-95 exit, guests describe the hotel as a little difficult to find. It was said to be obscured by other buildings, so one couldn't simply look for the La Quinta board, but had to know which road to turn down.
negative:
Fitness center issues
A couple of guests reported that the fitness center, which didn't have a great deal of equipment to begin with, had machines that were out of order. Guests trying to get in a workout were upset that they had to skip certain exercises.
negative:
Problems with the Wi-Fi
While by no means a universal complaint, several guests did report problems when trying to use the Wi-Fi. The signal was said to be weak in parts of the building, and some also found they couldn't connect at all at times.
