La Quinta by Wyndham Fort Lauderdale Pompano Beach

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 27 Jan 2010 rated 4 out of 10.

Clean, cheap, but don't stay expecting a room with decent air conditioning. The thermostat on the wall is just for fun, the staff controls it from the front desk, and room never cooled off despite several requests. They will lose business at the expense of trying to save a buck on their cooling costs.

Positives: Relatively clean and

Negatives: AC did not cool room, controlled from front desk, never cold enough.

Don't do it. Room not ready when we arrived. Internet router was in our room and yet signal kept dropping every few minutes. AC didn't cool room so we called desk and they adjusted it from there, still didn't work. A look at the AC filter showed it was packed with moldy looking dirt as were the coils. No wonder room wouldn't cool! No lighting in outdoor breezeway, it was totally dark.

Positives: Rooms are relatively clean.

Negatives: AC no good.

It was ok if you have time for intruders to keep waking you and your small child up.

Positives: Nice pool.

Negatives: The tub was dirty and people kept knocking at my door and I had a 4:30 flight out.

Most of it was good by the end of our stay but after initially waiting 20+ minutes for an elevator, elevator repair going on, and crowds in the tiny elevator area and many people openly complaining, I was very concerned about our stay. I would never stay there again since the entrance is on 4-5th floor and you have to ride a very slow elevator for everything. Parking $17/day was outrageous. In the end, it worked ok

Positives: It was on the beach.

Negatives: Parking and elevator were absolutely horrible and most guests complained openly.

Positives: Clean, pretty, nice area, pool and close from the sea, access internet.

Negatives: No refrigerator, no micro.

I did not have high expectations of this hotel at all, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is newly remodeled and very contemporary. Furnishings are all new, carpets and countertops are new as well. The bathroom area has wood floors (very nice) and granite countertops. I was not expecting this of a 2 star hotel at all. Free Wi-Fi was available, as well as a computer area. Rooms have TV, telephone, iron & board, hair dryer and coffee pot. Continental breakfast is available. The pool and hot tub were clean and enjoyable. The hotel is still being renovated, although no work was done during our stay. No elevator is available and the stairs are in need of replacement. It is an old property, but La Quinta is making a good effort to clean the place up. I had a very good experience with Meredith at check-in. She was very friendly as were the other staff we encountered.

Positives: The rooms are newly remodeled and very contemporary. The staff was very friendly.

Negatives: The property is old, so areas that were not renovated yet were pretty run down. Stairs needed work and no elevator available.

Steps were rusted through to see daylight. Given bad instructions regarding check in causing 2 trips. Old decor, will not stay there again, ever.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Rotted steps, ancient decor, old.

I thought it was one of the best hotels that I have stayed in. It had every thing that we needed and was very comfortable and a very good location.

Positives: It was very clean. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever had.

Negatives: Had to walk a ways to get to the room.

Overall good hotel.

Positives: Close to other activities.

Negatives: Was currently under remodeling, painting carpet.

Although the location is great, the cleanliness was not. Additionally, the Florida language institute is adjacent to the hotel, which meant that there were about 200 high school age teens staying at the hotel. There was a used tampon in the lawn outside of our room. Additionally, there were what appeared to be feces smeared on the side of the bathroom sink. The public restroom by the pool had urine all over it.

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: There was a used tampon in the lawn outside of our room, the room had what appeared to be feces smeared on the side of the sink.

I would not recommend staying at this hotel until the remodeling is complete. Even at that, our room was untouched on the second night of our stay. We had to go to the office and pick up clean towels for our use the next day. Overall we were very disappointed with our stay at this liquate.

Positives: Location was very nice.

Negatives: The bathroom was moldy and overall in very poor condition.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 27 Feb 2007 rated 2 out of 10.

This la Quinta was not up to the two star rating. The property is very much in need of a major overhaul. Overall very worn and with a lot of sea air rust on items such as light fixtures. Would not stat there again.

Positives: Continental breakfast.

Negatives: Very much in need of a major renovation.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 22 Feb 2007 rated 3 out of 10.

Most disappointing was having brown/yellow water from sink and tubs every day. Very disgusting. Also, one evening we did not get our room serviced. We requested new towels from the desk and no one came to replace our towels. The room reeked of old cigarettes/mold.

Positives: Free internet is great and the air conditioning was great.

Negatives: Yellow/brownish water from sink and tub and poor service (did not get room service one night).

Metal railings rusting, debris in bushes (cigarette butts, plastic bottles, papers) really needs painting in the stairwells and the dolls and walls outside really are discolored and need a paint job. Once you get past the lobby and the breakfast room it has a seedy look. The patio outside where you can eat had dirty tables every time we walked by.

Positives: Maid cleaned well breakfast staff good.

Negatives: Grounds and facility not well maintained.

It looks like the hotel is in some kind of transition. The lobby is very clean and nice but the rooms were unattractive and many of them were dirty and had stained carpeting and wallpaper. They should not have put guests into a portion of the hotel that was not ready.

Positives: Staff was helpful in allowing 20 different guests find clean rooms.

Negatives: First room I was given was very dirty, outside doors were dirty as was exterior walls.

This hotel has issues. We were in a crime zone. Our neighbors were loud. In the morning, our room was taped off. We were in a crime scene. The police said the hotel management lets in many undesirables and they are always there. I did not pay to have my children be in danger.

Positives: Breakfast.

Negatives: Noisy all night. Woke up with our door taped off (crime scene--crime in next room).
