I haven’t stayed at La Quinta in a while, maybe a few years.. I will say that the this particular location was quite disappointing. The best part of the this hotel is the pool, proximity to food, International (where there are tons of food options and a few attractions, like Icon park etc) and Universal Studios being so close by - literally an 8 min ride.. The free breakfast is okay for a quick bite - toast, boiled eggs, yogurt, bagels, coffee, cereal/oatmeal and waffles..
Cleanliness was subpar and I ended up cleaning up a small urine puddle right on the side of the toilet. GROSS! AC was just okay. I ask for “light housekeeping” just for the bathroom on day 3 and left my room at at 8am that morning.. Surprise, surprise, I can back from a long hot day at Universal and no house keeping and requested towels or toilet paper..
When I called to inquire the front desk person was a little snarky.. don’t forget shampoo and conditioner because if you ask for a few you’ll be questioned.. rooms outdated, pool furniture needs to be upgraded badly!!! It look like a hot sheets motel in the pool area.. pool could also use some extra cleaning and the toilet will easily get clogged - not enough force to bring the tissue down..
While it wasn’t the absolute worse, it wasn’t the best either..
