Very Good Place to Stay
I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman at the front desk. He was very professional and pleasant. He was working the bar and the front desk and never missed a beat. The hotel is very clean and in great condition.

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.

Will we be back?
We (my wife and I )stay here every year for Black Friday shopping. This year was great, the room did have a smell... It wasn't sewer and it wasn't bad. You just got whiff when you stepped in the door. Shower water pressure was low but good enough for a shower. I'm a tough customer to please however this hotel did it... We'll be back again!
