The hotel was cheap, but didn't meet my expectations.
Positives: It was cheap.
Negatives: It was not easily accessible, looked old and run down.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 02 Aug 2008 rated 2 out of 10.
We were then placed in a sub-standard room, bathtub stopped up, AC didn't work well, etc. We have never received the items we left in the first room or even a phone call from the manager (even though we left complete information and requested a call)! They just wanted us to shut-up and go away!
Positives: Breakfast and pool.
Negatives: Treatment and consideration of hotel staff.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 16 Jun 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

I would never stay at this hotel again. The manager was very rude and insinuated I was not telling the truth when I complained about spiders in the room. We had 3 rooms and all of them had spiders.
Positives: Nothing.
Negatives: Poor customer service, spiders in the rooms, the housekeeping staff did not clean well.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 24 Feb 2008 rated 5 out of 10.
It is old and in need of much upgrade. The age shows in the room, bathroom, furnitures and the common areas. The bed was very uncomfortable. This is the worse hotel I have gotten.
Positives: There is not much to be liked. This is an old run down hotel.
Negatives: This is an old run down hotel with exterior entrances and several detached buildings within the campus.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 30 Jan 2008 rated 7 out of 10.
The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. The breakfast was better than expected. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Positives: The breakfast buffet was better than quoted as a continental breakfast.
Negatives: The trash facilities in the buffet area were overflowing on to the floor during breakfast hours.

I have stayed at this La Quinta previously and felt good about it. When I arrived, even after calling earlier in the day and being assured that they had my reservation and would have a room for me, was told that they did not have any more rooms and they would pay for a room at another local hotel. The hotel they referred me to be okay, but not as good as my previous experience with La Quinta.
Positives: Location close and convenient to Baylor University.
Negatives: They overbooked and were unable to accommodate my reservation. Had to send me to another hotel.

Positives: Complimentary continental breakfast, convenient to Baylor.
Negatives: Homeless getting ice from ice machine, common areas not as clean as I would like.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 14 May 2007 rated 9 out of 10.
The room was clean and comfortable but did not have a comfortable leisure chair and seemed crowded because of the table refrigerator arrangement.
Positives: Overall appearance.
Negatives: Difficult to get to off interstate.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 05 Apr 2007 rated 3 out of 10.
This is an old property. The rooms are ok but noisy due to proximity to the freeway and cheap construction. Low quality bed linens and towels--not up to newer standards. Parking is limited close to the room. Do not like exterior entrance motel rooms due to security. Laquinta breakfast is not very good. Other hotel chains provide a better complimentary breakfast. High speed internet worked well.
Positives: Free high speed internet.
Negatives: Right by highway and is noisy. Old property.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 26 Mar 2007 rated 10 out of 10.
We were very pleased with out stay; it took on a minute or so to check in. We will stay in La Quintas again!
Positives: Prompt service and a quiet location with a good breakfast, better than most continental breakfasts.
Negatives: They need to put extra packets of cream and sugar in the rooms with coffeemakers.

Overall, a good stay for the price I paid. The rooms were decent and clean. The staff was friendly. The hotel could use a little updating, and I have slept on more comfortable beds. It was great for the price I paid, and I would stay there again.
Positives: Easy to get to, convenient location.
Negatives: Needs updating.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 14 Mar 2007 rated 8 out of 10.
I am not a smoker. I requested a nonsmoking room, but was given a smoking room and the front desk would not give me a nonsmoking room. Other than this everything was great.
Positives: Clean.
Negatives: Had a smoking room.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 28 Oct 2006 rated 8 out of 10.
Great for a quick stopover, especially if you are visiting the university - literally within walking distance.
Positives: Great free breakfast.
Negatives: Water pressure.
