I stayed in a room (#602) at the La Quinta on Research Parkway in Orlando. When submitting a "question" on their website, under the "compliment" or "concern" pull down menu, the selection only offers a few specific items, none of which I had a problem with. To start off, I originally reserved a room with a King sized bed and a kitchenette. Instead I got a room with 2 double beds but no kitchenette. By the time I realized it, I had already unpacked and didn't want to repack so it seems I'm disgruntled but lazy......When I arrived, the room was extremely hot and had to set the thermostat down to the 60's just to bring the room down to the 70's after several hours. The carpet is ugly, the trim is ugly and the elevator is deathly slow. Out of the 2 room cards I received, only 1 worked. This happened to a co-worker of mine as well during the same trip.
The good things.....the bathroom has a large bowl that flushes strongly, always a plus. They also offer free Wi-Fi which is another great amenity. The beds seem very comfortable even if it isn't the type I requested.
Overall the hotel is very nice in many respects but is nowhere near worth the price I paid. I will be sure to use a different hotel next time I am here.
