Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 08 Dec 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Good place to stay if you need the convenience of being in a area with lots of attractions at a reasonable cost. Staff was super attentive and the hotel was clean.

Positives: Staff was very friendly and quick to offer assistance when needed.

Negatives: Nothing that stands out.

I didn't like it from the moment I talk to reception, she was rude and not welcoming. The room was not that great and<BR/>TV didn't work. Bathroom was disgusting, mole on tile make it look so gross and I didn't even wanted to touch the shower curtain. In other words I didn't like it at all, and I won't recommend this &quot;motel&quot; to anyone.

Positives: Honestly, nothing!

Negatives: Receptionist was rude and didn't smile at all, bathroom dirty, TV didn't work.

Overall a very nice, cheap hotel. I had looked at several area hotels as we had dental appointments for our children and we live three hours south of the location. We were comfortable and the hotel staff were great.

Positives: Convenient location. Friendly staff.

Negatives: They were shampooing carpets, kind of musty smelling.

It was very roomy and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The breakfast area was a bit small and somewhat cramped, but overall our 3 night stay was good. Great location for going into Chicago.

Positives: The front desk was very helpful.

Negatives: Breakfast area was too small.

Coming into the hotel is a Little deceiving. The parking lot is cracked and not very pleasant. The pool is under construction and appears to have been for some time.. However, inside the hotel is pleasant and so is the staff. The free continental breakfast was nice also. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean.

Positives: The room and hotel were clean. The staff friendly. we enjoyed the free continental breakfast.

Negatives: There was no pool though it states it has one. It seems to be under &quot;construction&quot;. the parking lot was old and cracked.

Avoid this particular hotel at all costs! There are several other quality hotels in the area, try them.<BR/>This hotel is not one I would recommend. Dirty! The hotel smelled of chemicals used to cover up stains, not remove them!
<BR/>

Positives: Honestly, not much. I am truly not trying to be negative, but it was not good!

Negatives: Very dirty! Smelled!

Just a clean, well maintained and staffed business. A real treat to be treated as guests.

Positives: Convenient to our activities and the hotel staff.

Negatives: Nothing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 10 Sep 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

The hotel needs work.

Positives: Not one thing.

Negatives: They only had stairs to get to your room.

La Quinta Inn in Merrillville, IN is conveniently located off of I65. It is also strategically located near a variety of shopping and dining options.

Positives: It was conveniently located off the highway and there were many restaurants and activities in the area.

Negatives: Access to the 2nd floor rooms was very difficult, no elevators etc.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 29 Aug 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

They are doing some remodeling and I've stayed there 7 or 8 times. They could have small refrigerators in the rooms.

Positives: Staff is courteous and room comfortable.

Negatives: Breakfast could have included rolls/donuts.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 27 Aug 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

Good location but it is not as clean and nice as others that I have stayed at.

Positives: Not much to tell--needs to be updated a lot.

Negatives: They would not give us 2 beds and I was with another person who was to my husband! It is on our request to have a non-smoking room and we had to say.

The last La Quinta I stayed in was in August of 2006 and it was quite nice, hence me being okay with the 2 star level. Apparently nowadays 2-star level means black mold possible in shower. Seriously. For a hotel bathroom that is realistically cleaned several times a week there is absolutely no excuse for that.

Positives: Convenience to the interstate.

Negatives: The black mold in the shower.

This was a perfect location for our MLB road trip. It was so nice and convenient that on the way home we pulled off and stayed there again.

Positives: Perfect location and good value.

Negatives: The hallway in our wing was smelly/room was good.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 15 Aug 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

HVAC unit did not operate, hallways were stinky, everywhere I looked it was dirty, front desk did not answer phone when I called twice, trash/wrapper on floor, front desk area was filthy/grimy, clerk outside was smoking when I arrived, landscape all weeded, garbage cans at entrance ways overflowing. I was real happy to be staying there.

Positives: Free wireless internet service.

Negatives: Parking lot was terrible.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 09 Aug 2008 rated 1 out of 10.

This hotel is rated two stars. This was akin to a flea bag with horrible parking facilities, inoperative television and plumbing, and an odor as though the person before me opted to smoke in a non-smoking room. It was a bad experience.

Positives: The fact that it was located in Merrillville across the street from the wall is positive.

Negatives: It is old carpeting, old smell, archaic furniture, ripped up parking lot and toilet problems.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 06 Aug 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

Should do repairs (shock treatments) at night when pool is closed.

Positives: Helpful workers.

Negatives: Pool was not available.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 05 Aug 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

The pool was poorly maintained. The motel manager was unpleasant, while the rest of the staff was above average in hospitality. The rooms were clean, but needed new carpets and paint.

Positives: The staff, other than the manager, was very pleasant. Rooms were large.

Negatives: Hotel was let to run down. A simple fix up and painting would help.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 04 Aug 2008 rated 2 out of 10.

This hotel is not a 2 star. This is the 2nd time I have been stuck here in 2 years. Nothing has gotten better, obviously you don't follow up on surveys. Carpet is stained, tub stained, burn marks in non-smoking room, breakfast area was a disaster, employees yelling at each other in hallway first thing in the morning. Very disappointed, again!

Positives: The sheets were clean.

Negatives: Need a lot more then 20 words.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 03 Aug 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Overall, pleased with this location and would stay again. Everything you need, including hospital, is very close by. Breakfast lounge was popular in the morning. Pool was closed until late in the evening, which was a bummer. Plenty of parking for every size vehicle, including a few 18 wheelers at one time.

Positives: Better than expected choices for breakfast, especially the cook-it-fresh-yourself waffles. And pets are allowed!

Negatives: The bedding was a bit stiffer than I would have liked, need fabric softener perhaps?

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 22 Jul 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

Overall the room and service was very good. The hallways and stairs area were not in the best of decoration or shape.

Positives: I liked the bedding to sleep on including sheets and pillows.

Negatives: I did not like the decorations, especially the bed spreads.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 17 Jul 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

I liked it, but I think I got robbed a little. But the staff was really friendly and I had no problem getting 3 extra pillows for our already very comfortable bed. I also had no problem getting extra coffee for the morning. So all in all, we had a good experience.

Positives: Staff was friendly and helpful.

Negatives: It was a mess when we got there. They claimed to painting.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 27 Jun 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Great hotel.

Positives: Price & location.

Negatives: Nothing to complain about.
