I was on a work trip, and when I indicated to my daughter that I needed a hotel room, she quickly responded with LaQuinta. She said the rooms were nice, the breakfast delicious, and the location handy. And she was right! I also enjoyed some time in the gym and appreciated all the equipment working, including the television so I could watch the news. Often those are neglected spots in a hotel, but not here. Thank you for a nice stay.

I like how down the road there is a lot of restaurants to pick from and there is a movie theater. The one thing I didn’t like that somehow the pool was closed and could not go swimming. There was nobody at the desk to asked why the pool was not opened. This was Wednesday night the day before Thanksgiving.

The property was very nice. Clean and comfortable. However the toilet didn’t flush well. They may need to check details like that. I did online check in to avoid delays at the desk. I still had to fill out a paper form and show id and credit card. Online is not worth doing.

This was a very nice hotel. The breakfast was one of the best "hotel" breakfasts I have seen and the room was clean. There was a nice lobby area to sit in and there was also a small bar. I would be good for business groups.
