This is the nicest LaQuinta I have ever stayed in! Located in a quiet area. The building seemed very new. Parking was easy. Buffet breakfast was good. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Facility was clean. Room great, though tub bottom is very slick....be careful. Woman serving breakfast was friendly and fun. Front desk personnel excellent. My only complaint was that we'd like to return next year and are not able to make reservations til Fall as their system is not "set up for next year"

We enjoyed our stay and loved that a dog day care was right next door.

Stay was ok. Staff were nice. Pool was unusable although a staff member claimed it was safe (pool area smelled of gasoline - it was closed the day we arrived because the “chemicals needed to be controlled”). Laundry room was a nightmare. Upon arrival our room door did not lock and we had to request maintenance for that. As the week progressed the hotel was consistently loud because of all the teams (and children) present. Kids walked around without supervision. The food at breakfast was meh at best (no seasoning on eggs or shredded potatoes; sausage was either not done all the way or well done and eggs were often overcooked and biscuits were hard). The room was clean but we never had enough towels or toilet paper. Would we stay again? Maybe if we couldn’t find anything else and we needed to travel for sports again. It was very close to Adventureland.
