What guests think

At La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lake City, travelers consistently note friendly staff, a convenient location near I 75 and restaurants, clean, comfortable rooms, and a generally satisfying free breakfast, especially for quick overnight stays.

Common complaints include humid, musty or damp rooms, intermittent hot water or temperature control problems, thin walls and door noise, and housekeeping or maintenance lapses such as moldy showers, odors, or occasional pests. Facilities draw mixed feedback: the small indoor pool is very warm (and sometimes closed), the fitness room is appreciated, parking can feel tight despite good lighting, and the property is pet friendly with a fee. Overall, it suits road trippers seeking convenience and value, but those sensitive to humidity or noise may want to check room conditions at check in.

The staff was a solid 10/10. The rooms were spotless (and I’m an extreme germaphobe so that says a lot). The breakfast buffet was incredible with so many options, honestly the best I’ve ever had at a hotel. The gym was amazing too, super clean, plenty of free weights and lots of equipment choices. Do I recommend? Absolutely, without a doubt. Also great area to be in, close to everything.

The stay was good for 1 night. Room was clean and most everything was as it should be. The room did have some loose power receptacles but that is the same as any hotel. (should buy hospital grade receptacles). Pool was clean and accessible but smaller than the pictures showed. Great stay and was near everything that we would need. Great selection of restaurants.

We were very happy with the cleanliness and comfort of our room and the condition of the Fitness center. They did a good job with the breakfast.Our only disappointment was the size of the pool.

Hotel looks freshly renovated. The breakfast was fabulous. Parking is a bit tricky, that's my only complaint. If you like to sleep in a cold room, the AC is excellent.

Very nice hotel except pool is closed ( which is why I chose this place) and construction workers were sitting in back lot eating and loud talking right below our window til 9:30 ish . On a bright side breakfast was great!

This LaQuinta is relatively new and is in great condition. Our room is very nice. Breakfast is good. We stayed here before. The only downside is the pool which is only 3 feet deep and is heated like a hot tub. Was hoping for a cool refreshing dip.

We stayed here one night after a trip to the beach. Room was clean and spacious with plenty of plugs and USB ports. The indoor pool was my daughter's favorite and it was clean and very warm (almost hot tub like). We overall enjoyed it and would stay again.

The indoor pool water temperature was reasonably warm which I prefer. It is a rather small pool but since I had it to myself for about 1/2 hour worked well. Breakfast (we had scrambled eggs and sausages vs cereal,waffles etc.) was good; no danish or pastries of that type. Eating area was nice decor, not just tables and chairs cafeteria style. Hotel seems reasonably new so furniture, carpet etc not abused. Good to have carts for luggage to rooms & fast elevators. Easter decor in lobby a nice touch.

I am asleep. Then something crawled on my hand. I woke up, turned on the light and saw that it was a cockroach, and it was still on my hand. You can't imagine how deep my psychological shadow was. I didn't sleep all night. My head is full of cockroaches

While the outside of the hotel and the lobby were very nice and clean, our room was disgusting. There were stains on the carpet. I wouldn’t take my shoes off in the room. The wall was stained with what looked like kool- aid. The shower was the worst I’ve seen at a hotel not available by the hour. The shower floor was dirty and there was mold and mildew on many of the tiles. The shower door kept sliding to one side and wouldn’t stay closed if it wasn’t locked in. The bathroom door constantly closed as it was obvious it wasn’t level. We will not stay again.

There was a clump of pubic hair on the bathroom shower railing. We got in late after midnight from the Gator game we didn’t want to have to move rooms so we didn’t say anything at the time of staying there. But that’s a massive oversight and it’s disgusting.

I travel with my small dog and they put me in a dog room that obviously had not been cleaned well. Room smelled like dog from previous guests. Shower was not clean and the pillows seemed like they have been used way to long..lumps in them and flat. The only good part was the front quest person...very nice check in.

The stay was horrible, only due to the temperature in the room could not be controlled. we entered the room with the air conditioner setting on 59 degrees and could not stabilize the temp to comfortable level. we tried all night to get the temp down but to no avail. They had portable heaters in the halls but rooms were freezing. I had to take my wife to the doctor when we ARRIVED HOME since she had a really bad cold.

The temperature could not be lowered and the room was too hot to sleep well. The pillow was flat and lumpy. Pay more and stay somewhere else. This is by far the worst La Quinta I have stayed in. Usually they are good value for the money, but not this one.

The bed was comfortable, the room updated and clean. My biggest issue was that the smoke detector lit up all night long (every 2-8 seconds) and all I got when I checked out was 'Sorry about that. I will put a note in to have the battery changed.' The bathroom door is so heavy it SLAMS everytime you let go of the door. The lighting in the room was romantic, so if you want to see what is in your suitcase at night, you have to take it into the bathroom. No waste basket in the bathroom. They did have a fully functional microwave and refrigerator. I guess there was a lot I found annoying.

I missed breakfast, plenty of parking and I did feel safe. The room seemed clean but did notice crumbs probably from chips on the floor by the couch like the vacuum must have missed them or was done quickly. I was excited that it had a microwave as it seems hotels are getting rid of those in rooms. Check in staff were awesome. I loved that the room was spacious, had a desk, very nice bathroom. I was only there one night in town to see my daughter’s band performance. But when I come back I will likely stay at this hotel again. :)

Pros: The staff was great; everyone I interacted with was professional and helpful. The free breakfast was better than I expected. Overall, the property was very clean. Cons: My room and the entire hotel felt damp during my entire three-day stay. I am a Floridian, so I understand humidity, but this is something different. My towels never dried, my sheets felt damp, my room and the common areas constantly felt wet. Perhaps it is from the inside pool? There was mildew/mold on the ceiling inside the bathroom in my room (410). It looks like it has been cleaned previously and returned. Again, the dampness is an issue. There was no access to water in the lobby once breakfast concluded. There was coffee available all day, but no water. Not even an old school water fountain. All in all, my stay was pleasant for what I paid.

Breakfast was supposed to be included, but the 1 employee that takes care of breakfast was late so many guests had to leave for the day without breakfast. There were about a dozen of more guests waiting who had to leave. It was supposed to start at 7AM. Most of us left at 715. There wasn't even any coffee available.

The hotel was comfy and clean, the only problem I had was with the older gentleman at the front desk. I have a married last name on my ID and my maiden name on my card. I pre booked my room and I entered all my information correctly on the booking. I expressed this to him and he said that the payment and ID had to match names. Remind you that same morning my card had a charge from the hotel on it for my room. So as somebody who traveled all the way 2 states away and prebooked a room and was already charged.

Staff seemed bothered to help. Man at desk when we arrived at night was rude. He seemed upset that I used a third party to make reservations. When I checked out woman there would not even acknowledge that I was standing there. There wasn’t anyone else around. She wasn’t on phone. So finally I just said “well I am checking out”. She didn’t even look up. I just left key card on desk. Maybe that’s all you’re supposed todo. Otherwise it a great place very clean and nice rooms.

Floor in room was wet. Came down for breakfast at 9:45 to find most everything gone. Had 2 bagels and an few cold scramble eggs left. Asked kitchen employee if they would be putting more biscuits or bacon out and was not so politely informed she would not be putting anything else out because she was getting ready to close. Breakfast is not supposed to end until 10 as the sign at the entrance clearly states AND as we were informed at checkin yesterday. A member of our family went to fix a waffle and got fussed at by the same employee. She once again impolitely told her that she had already cleaned the maker. Went to front desk to ask why we were told we could eat until 10 if that was not the case. Front desk employee states breakfast ended at 9. Showed her the sign posted and she says well that is wrong. No one even attempted to rectify the situation. Very rude employees who obviously care nothing about their guests!
