“UNHAPPY NEW YEAR-ROOM ROBBED January 1, 2012”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

We drove from Canada to Florida and stayed at other La Quintas on the way down. Until Fort Lauderdale, our experiences with La Quinta were enjoyable. We stopped for one overnight at this hotel. We checked in and put our bags in the room, believing they would be safe while we went to get something to eat. When we got into the room, the TV was on which we found strange. Although you could see vacuum marks on the floor, there was debris along the wall. We turned off the TV and left the room to get supper. We were gone from 9:15 PM to 10:15 PM, ONE HOUR!. When we returned, all of our electronics were gone! Thieves walked away with every small bag they could carry. We lost all of our cameras and vacation photos. A bag with swimwear, a cooler bag and two laptops. One laptop was my son's that he received for his birthday, before Christmas. When we advised the front desk as to what happened happened, the front desk girl didn't even flinch. She told us to call police. I looked around the hotel and found some of my personal items in the back parking lot. That's when I discovered the back entrance that was supposedly accessible only by a room key, had its locking mechanism disabled with a screw. I asked hotel management about this and they said the lock wasn't working right so they had the latch disabled. There are no security cameras in the hallways so the theives had nothing to worry about when they left the hotel with our belongings. My kids were traumatized and couldn't sleep for days. The room deadbolt did not work either. I wish we had slept in the car! I wish I had seen the other reviews before stopping here.

Room Tip: Don't stop.

“DO NOT STAY HERE! DISGUSTING, DIRTY, CRACK HOUSE, SMELLS OF SMOKE IN NONSMOKING ROOMS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel was so disgusting that my boyfriend and I did not even stay the night there, and to boot the lady at the front desk said she was not authorized to do a refund, so we had to wait around until the next day to request a refund, and they did not make it easy.

We looked at two non-smoking rooms and they both smelled like heavy smoke. In addition, they were incredibly filthy, there were little pieces of garbage on the floor- bottle caps and papers, the carpets were dirty, and pieces of molding from the walls were falling off. I then checked the bed to see if it was clean and there were long black hairs all over and dark brown spots on the sheets. Please do not stay here.

Room Tip: Do not stay in any of these rooms!

“Very clean, very nice, very quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. We slept very well, the front desk clerks and maid service personnel were all nice and accomodating. The hotel was quiet and didn't smell like a lot of hotels I've been in and it was clean (which was a "must" for me). We had a non-smoking room and for once, it didn't actually smell like smoke. The breakfast was "ok", bagels, muffins, waffles, cereal, oranges, milk, orange juice and apple juice was about the extent of it. There's not a lot around the hotel, but it doesn't take long to get anywhere either. We went to the football game in Miami and it took us about 40 minutes, went to Pompano Beach and it took us about 20 minutes. I would definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: For the money, this hotel was great!

“Beware of Noise and Other Errors”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We checked in on 11/5/11 at 11:30 pm. We had reserved two rooms with a credit card and requested for 2 non-smoking rooms. When we arrived they had no non-smoking rooms left. We were assigned rooms 325 and 327, neither one of which had a deadbolt on it that worked. When we called the front desk about the security issue they told us that they could fix them tomorrow, but it was just a one-night stay for us so that didn't really help.

We called for a 6:00 wake-up call. At 4:30 a.m. the phone rang and I had to get up to answer it. The clock-radio did not work so I could not check the time. When my husband looked at his watch he noticed the time was 4:46 a.m. When he called the Front Desk to see what time it was and ask what had happened -- the Front Desk attendant said that he/she had called the wrong room. No apologies were given and by that time we were fully awake.

There were large crowds of people in the parking lot at 1:00 in the morning which made my husband fearful about going out to check on the car.

The other thing was that at 3:00 in the morning, after opening the door and requesting, nicely, that the people take their discussion somewhere other than in front of our doors, I called the Front Desk to complain about the party going on in the room across the hall and into the hallway. The Front Desk attendant said that they were the only one at the desk and that there wasn't anything they could do except call the police.

One last comment about their breakfast. Our past experience with this chain has been that they have a very nice and filling breakfast. This particular site was definitely not up to their standard.

Room Tip: Be sure to ask more questions before booking here.
