Do not recommend. It’s very dirty. I found so many bugs on “clean” towels and on the “clean” linen. Shower had pink mold. Looks like no one cleaned it. Spend that extra $40 on a different hotel.

The property is old, cleaning won't fix, Upholsterd chair in room so old the foam in cushion gave off a bad odor. Similar odor to the mattress and box spring. I could tell that the maid staff to pride in their work, but nothing they could do could fix musty furniture. I had to leave in middle of night because I just couldn't handle it any longer.

We are frequent stayers at La Quinta Inns everywhere we go due to having a dog accompanying us and they are pet friendly. This is by far the worst location we have ever stayed at. From check in to check out it was a very disappointing stay. Upon unpacking we noticed the TV didn’t work looked behind and seen it was unplugged which was an easy fix. Walked into the bathroom and it looked like something that has not been kept up and the tube seam was separated from the wall and the plug was rusted and looked as someone rinsed their paint brushes out in it. The ceiling above has mold and was painted over before. The sink has been dripping long enough to change the carpet below white. The hallway ceiling shows signs of water leaking and mold has grown on it. I went down to the front and asked the male individual available if we could get a fridge, as our friends had on in their room, he looked at me and said all the rooms were booked. There were only five cars in the parking lot. Our firmed had to change rooms as their TV would not work and was given a choice of a room close to us which had a fridge in it. So much for the all the rooms are booked. Leads us to believe he didn’t want to help so gave that false answer. The next day my wife and I went down to partake in the breakfast at 9:10 and upon arriving the gal had removed almost all of whatever was offered. My wife conveyed that the hours were until 10:00. We got a cup of coffee and left. No bags at dog station. Trash in hallway
