We were driving from Florida back to Texas over Thanksgiving. We stopped at the La Quinta in Covington, LA because we'd had good luck at La Quinta hotels in the past. We got the last double they had since it was late (8pm). The first impression was dirty. The linens were clean, but the room smelled like week-old gym socks. The carpet was dirty also. The bathroom was clean looking, but the toilet wasn't leveled properly and the seat wasn't attached very well. The beds were lumpy and the pillows needed to be replaced. Our room was located between and across the hall from all smoking rooms, so that could have been where the smell was coming from, but we suspected that it could have been previous occupants putting something in the AC unit. The free "full" breakfast tasted about as old as the hotel. The "full" part of the meal was stale bisquits and sausage gravy. The bread for toast was all stale and the bagels were tasteless. We all had instant oatmeal packets instead, but they had been around a while too. But, as they say, free is free. Since it was only for one night and it was the last double room, we put up with it, but we will think twice about staying at another La Quinta.
