We ATTEMPTED to stay here during Spring Break in March of 2005. We made reservations for a double non-smoking room with a late check in. Upon arrival at 10pm, they had us in a king (wouldn't work for 4 people). The room smelled strongly of smoke. About 45 minutes later, still no room, and no one in charge seemed to know what to do.
We left and stayed at Comfort Suites, which was very nice. I'm from this area and was embarrassed by the condition of the La Quinta. Smelly rooms, rotten wood, sagging balconies; just generally run down and dirty-looking. I can understand a mix-up in reservations every now and then, but there's no excuse for a dirty, decrepit hotel.
