La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham St. Augustine

The mattress is very soft. I prefer a firm one. Breakfast was not special.

I have stayed here many times mostly because it is reasonable and convenient to Interstate 95. However, the front desk personnel my past few visits have absolutely no personality and actually act like they are burdened being at work. Most importantly depending on the hour of the day THE LOBBY SMELLS LIKE A BAZAAR IN INDIA. If its food smells all I can tell you it smells like very strong body odor. The rooms are large enough, the bed is satisfactory, but the rooms have an overpowering "cleaning odor". The place just feels dirty. I am sure the owners work hard and maybe their culture is accepting of these aromas, but I must say I find it quite obnoxious.

tl;dr This is a good hotel with nice, helpful employees. But it's rundown and seriously needs a refresh. The TV in our room wouldn't work. Exploration revealed the cable connection wasn't screwed into the back of the TV because it was broken. Rather than just bringing in another TV, they moved us, which was fine. In the new room the TV worked but the hvac was extraordinarily loud, to the point where we wanted to turn it off. Adjusting the temp so it wouldn't come on at all did not work. The on-off controls didn't work. So we had to just unplug it.

Was ok but convenient to attraction

Overall the stay was good. Bed was comfy, air conditioning worked great, no issues parking. Tub had a red stain in it and the hallway had a strong cleaner smell. Breakfast wasn't fancy but decent. Scrambled eggs, sausage patties, waffles and an assortment of bread items.
