On Monday, 5/3/2010 I checked into the LaQuinta Hotel. Instead of waking up to the Bright side of things I woke up to several bite marks from Bed bugs. I went to sleep at 10:30 and 11:45 I woke up constantly itching. I cut on the light and I noticed a bed bug on the adjacent bed. I check the bed I was sleeping in and found a bed bug under my pillow. I caught one of the bedbug and put it in a plasticbag. Unfortunately I didn't get any sleep that night. I was afraid to leave the room because as I approached the entrance of the building, two young men were smoking outside the door and had the door propped open with the door mat. It made me feel very uncomfortable so I stayed in the infested room and waited to early morning to inform the staff of the problem. I spoke to the rep and showed her the bedbug specimen. She stated they will only give me a refund me for the day and probably will accomodate me at another hotel. Overall it was nothing she could do at that point. She had to wait until a manager came in and they could call me back. Well three hours passed and I finally received a phone call and she left a extended message on my cell phone which I saved. Basically they wanted to provide me with another room or a better hotel. I was furious and felt violated and embarrased. I decided for my own mental sanity and physical health it was best to find a better hotel.
I was so stunned, and exhausted I didn't know really understand what was going on and the hotel clerk didn't do anything to help me.

I was debriefed by a 5 star hotel on what to do and what not to do so I would take the bed bugs home with me or bring the bed bugs to another hotel. I was completely devastated and ashamed. They didn't even want to pay to have my luggage exchanged or clothes professionally cleaned.

Needless to say, at 6:00 am I went to the front desk and showed them how badly I was attacked by the bedbugs. The situation got worse, and I had a nasty adverse reaction. I had to go to the doctor and receive benadryl cream and antohistomine. None of the medicine worked and my hands and arms swelled up really badly. I had to go back to the hotel and receive icepacks, blood work, and antibiotics. I never knew bed bugs could cause so much pain and suffering and sleep deprivation. I returned back to the hotel to return the check in cards, receive an invoice for my records, and to see if the La Quinta could do something to make me whole.

The end result is lost of money, self esteem, and discarded three designed business suit, pajamas, slippers, luggage, underwear, and pocketbook. I have two small children and I couldn't risk bringing the bed bugs to my home.

I made several attempts to contact somebody at Laquinta through email, phone to help me regarding the situation but I am just getting the run around.

My hotel visit at the LaQuinta in Aberdeen, MD was less than Stellar experience. I am a very upset and disatisfied customer.
Today I contacted the LAQuinta at the Aberdeen, MD office because I haven't been successful through the email or by phone to address my problem. This desk clerk was so unprofessional I don't even understand why you are still in business.
Next I will try to seek resolution by contacting the President & Chief Executive officer of LaQuinta. I don't understand why it is so hard to contact some who cares about my situation.
I am a very unhappy and disastified customer.

This hotel has no elevator but they don't tell you that when they assign room on the 2nd floor. We loaded a cart with bags only to find out that we had to carry them upstairs. The room was adequately clean but had a hint of smoke smell despite the fact that it was a non-smoking room. The iron didn't work. We informed that staff but receive no acknowledgement or apology. I wouldn't recommend this hotel or stay there again. The staff was adequate.

We stayed here for a family wedding. Many of the family members stayed here as well. Didn't hear any complaints from anyone else.
We had a king suite with king bed and TWO pull out couches!! We were changed from an Execuive King to the suite which was perfect for me & my 2 daughters so everyone had a bed to sleep in plus lots of room to move around.
Only problem was the terribly strong mold smell in the AC. Couldn't run the one in my room cause it stunk so bad. The other room smelled just as bad but the others didn't seem to mind. Bathroom was a little small but we didn't live in there!!
Had a large breakfast area and good selection. Family got together for breakfast both mornings.
Had free WiFi and good TV reception. The pool closed 9 PM so we didn't get to swim after the OUTSIDE wedding but sure wish we had cause it was HOT that wknd.
It was conveniently located right off Hwy. 22? not far from I-95. Many restaurant very close, as well as Home Depot, Walmart, etc.

We always stay here for baseball tournaments and we really love it. For the money you cant go wrong. It is very convenient to the Ripken complex and they have a great little bar and grill across the street. The kids liked the pool last year when we stayed there. Honestly, I do not understand the negative reviews with this hotel. I really think it is nice so much so that we signed up for a La Quinta frequent travelor card.
