Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 19 Apr 2010 rated 6 out of 10.
The hotel staff is great and the hotel is a quick and easy place to stay. Not a good fit for some one in a wheelchair that needs to take a shower or get around the room with ease. Continental breakfast was great for on the go, good location with leisure businesses within walking distance
Positives: The hotel staff was friendly and helpful with all aspects needed.
Negatives: The accessible room was not accessible- no shower for wheelchair, full size bed only, doors were hard to open. The cleaning staff left items in hall.

We almost missed the turn-in because the driveway is difficult to spot from the main road. Unfortunately, we found it. There was no attendant at the front desk on our arrival around 10 pm so we waited for someone to show up for about 15 minutes. The entrance to our room was at the back of a dirty parking lot filled with creepy-looking loiters - one of whom was listening to decibel-breaking Latin wrap music in his custom air-brushed pickup truck. The area outside the back entrance smelled like urine. The interior corridor smelled like cancer sticks. Our "non-smoking" room smelled like old cancer sticks with a coat of cheap paint attempting to mask it. The bathroom baseboards were discolored from the pile of dust balls blanketing it. The pillows were deceptively fluffy until the weight of a head flattened them like a pancake. The humor of the night wasn't the rock music blaring from the bar three car lengths away from our window. I had to laugh when I saw the "no hanger sign" beside the wall-mounted sprinkler head. You know the kind with a red circle and line through it. I thought, 'Some genius had to have hung something there, broke the sprinkler and watered down the place to warrant such a crazy sign.' It must have been one of those people who wears an "I'm Stupid" sign. The bar next door reminded me with a painful wake-up call every two hours that they were having a party. Fortunately, they shut down around 3 am so I got about four hours of sleep with my pancake pillow.
Positives: It had a bed, hot and cold water, cool a/c..
Negatives: Stinky, dirty, unsafe, tricky entrance, loud.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 11 Aug 2006 rated 9 out of 10.
Very nice.
Positives: It was better than I thought for a one star hotel.
Negatives: The housekeeper did not come when I asked her to.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 17 Jul 2006 rated 6 out of 10.
This was formerly the Baymont Inn and had I known this in advance, I would not have requested this place. I thought I was getting an Original La Quinta Inn. The Original La Quinta Inn are 4 stars. This is a 2 star.
Positives: Proximity to restaurants.
Negatives: Do not feel safe traveling by myself.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 13 Oct 2005 rated 4 out of 10.
I would stay at Baymont again due to the fact that Oliver, General Manager, responded and corrected the problem. Because of his immediate response to me personally, I know he has corrected the problem internally.
Positives: I liked the fact that when I had a problem, even though it was handled poorly first hand, that the issue was addressed right away by General Manager.
Negatives: The hotel staff was not able to correct the problem.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 10 Oct 2005 rated 10 out of 10.
Good hotel but the elevator is slow and the stairways smelled horrible. Other than that everything was very good.
Positives: It is very close to restaurants.
Negatives: The stairways smelled very bad like rotting carpets.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 22 Jul 2005 rated 3 out of 10.
Nice place at the price, BUT.....it is behind a popular bar...and noise can be high...in addition, one end of parking lot joins "low rent" apartment complex..."residents" of said apts have too easy access to parking lot with little chance of being observed...I can't afford to stay there again...damage to my vehicle was in the hundreds of dollars....NOT safe for single women !!!
Positives: Staff at check-in/check-out...room condition
Negatives: Security...my car was broken into...as was another guest's car the same evening
