What guests think

Across many reviews, La Quinta by Wyndham Tyler - University Area stands out for very clean, modern rooms, friendly staff, and a generally satisfying complimentary breakfast, with a convenient location for UT Tyler, hospitals, and area dining.

However, many guests criticize a $150 incidental hold, especially on third-party bookings, that is charged rather than preauthorized and can take several days to be returned. Traffic noise affects rooms facing Loop 323, and several note the entrance is awkward to find and parking can be tight during busy periods. There are occasional maintenance and room issues, including TV or Wi-Fi problems, hot water or shower doors, and sporadic pool or elevator downtime. Expect a clean, convenient stay with some policy and noise caveats.

The elevator only went to the 2nd floor, my room was on the third floor. Free breakfast on Saturday began at 7:00, I checked out at 6:45 (there wasn’t even any coffee in the lobby at that time). Was told the elevator would be fixed (but after my departure time).

Parking can be a problem. My friend and I were in town to attend a play. When we returned from the play around 10pm there were NO parking spaces available. A bus had arrived carrying a group of teenage girls and had parked across at least 6 parking spaces. We went inside to ask the desk clerk what we should do. He said we should park at the hotel next door, actually about 200 yards away across a dimly lit street, and walk back over to the hotel. Then told us there are a few spaces at the back of the hotel but probably nothing available back there as it is more of a service entrance. We did find one narrow spot then had to walk all the way around the hotel to gain access. This was totally unacceptable for two women traveling.

I was very impressed with the No-noise from the highway that is located next to. I did reserve a king suite. All of the staff were friendly and nice. It is also very rare to find a clean room without any hairs. I'm a germ a phobe and I always bring disinfectant wipes and I was so impressed with the cleanliness of everything! Especially the bathroom. I stayed 2 days and I seen a lady spend over an hour on a room. They take their time and do it right. I will definitely stay again when I'm back in Tyler. Thank you Abigail for the mess I made that you had to clean. She is the front desk manager, she is not a maid. She was very nice about it also and helpful when I needed some glasses.

For a new looking property, I was underwhelmed. The staff was great; however, both rooms we tried has a musty smell of old athletic sneakers. It was pretty bad and did not matter if the room has hard surface floor or carpet. Linens were clean and bed slept great. The grout the bathroom was chipped and shower was not real clean.

The room was great, cold air, great shower and breakfast was very good. But get a room that doesn’t face Loop 323. The hotel is situated at an intersection and hot rod drivers use the green light as the starting line for drag racing! LOUD! Not really the hotel’s fault but it went on till past midnight off and on. Other than that a really nice hotel. Would stay again but not facing the Highway! Lol

Check in person had no clue what they were doing, took forever to get checked in to room. Incidental fee of $150 does not just show as pending then come back to your account upon check out, it’s actually debited and then takes 14 days to be refunded.

The most terrible experience ive had at a hotel. Checked into room and it was not the room I booked. The tv did not work so they put me into another room knowing the tv in that room did not work. Joel the clerk said there was nothing they could do. I told them I was going to check into another hotel in the area. Joel never offered to help me find another hotel in the Tyler area and refused to give me his full name incase I had trouble with my room refund. He said I wanted his last name so I could harrass him. Complete unprofessional. I will never stay at another La Quinta again.

The check-in was poor because we were sent a link go complete a pre-check in prior to arrival in order to save time. I did this, uploaded my ID and all only to be asked for it again at the desk. I was then also told about the incidental hold which is fine but that could have been done and taken care of when I booked or at the pre-check in. Pre checking in diff not seem to have any value or save any time. The agent was also very mundane and did not seem to be having a good day. The remote to the tv did not work, the sheets are not good quality and the refrigerator did not cool.
