“Nothing fancy, but good price, large pool, kids were happy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

In town for a sports tournament and were looking for a decent rate, a pool and free breakfast. The rates were competitve, the breakfast was good- typical fare- but eggs and sausage were hot and the kids were happy. What really made our stay was the old-fashioned pool that was actually deep enough to swim in, unlike so many of the tiny newer ones. The kids loved it and we enjoyed the large hot tub.
The front desk staff was pleasant and helpful, the onsite restaurant was a good value for families. I believe they are updating the rooms, we stayed on 4th floor which was not updated. Mismatched bed spreads, older tv, small bathroom with an oddly low counter, doors that have been patched? But the frig worked and the room was clean.

Room Tip: Ask for an updated room. Also be aggressive when checking on rates--Rochester is full of hotels.

“Motel was a good value and had friendly staff.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

This was our first visit to Rochester. We were pleased with the breakfast. The fitness room was a big disappointment, as most of the equipment was out of order, and looked severely neglected. Additional outlets would be nice in the rooms. Beds were comfortable.

“Really?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

Stopped one night in June 2011 while traveling west. The hotel is an expired La Quinta that took its name off the sign for a good reason. The rooms are tiny, the dinner and breakfast were mediocre, and the coffee undrinkable. My family and I could not wait to check out and get back on the road!

“Not the best LaQuinta”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2010

We stayed at this LaQuinta for the first time Saturday night. It was a really mixed stay, so here goes:.

*The good*

Front desk clerk was very very nice when we arrived, somewhat late. She tried to get us in a room she though would be quieter because of wedding parties going on at the hotel (more on that later)

Hotel is completely non smoking and since I'm allergic to cigarette smoke I was very happy to see that!

Room was very spacious, almost like a one room suite. Very clean. TV was not an LCD but had a flat screen and a decent selection of channels.

Internet signal was very strong and worked flawlessly

King size bed was firm and seemed new. Sheets were tight. Bed seemed high quality

Pool area was open 24 hours so we were able to go into the hot tub for awhile and relax at 1am...it was great, and really helped our tired muscles after being cramped on the road all day. I'm sure children must love the kiddie pool with it's rainforest type waterfall and fancy slide. We didn't go into the regular pool, but it looked inviting. The area was clean.

Microwave worked great. Fridge was big enough to fit a gallon sized container in comfortably.

The desk area was well lit, with a large work space, and a perfect place to work on the laptop.

*The bad*

The pillows just don't go with the bed. Thank goodness we brought our own along. The bed is so comfortable and luxurious, but the pillows seemed like something you would get from a dollar store. little balls of fluff inside of a very thin cover. When we tried them all you could feel were the balls of polyester. If you are going to invest in really nice beds, please invest a little more and get pillows that match that quality!

The water pressure wasn't the best, or else the shower faucet is blocked somewhat. The shower left a lot to be desired.

The room became very hot during the night. Strange because at the time we didn't have even the fan on and it was chilly outside. It got so warm we got up during the night and turned on the a/c...which made it sound like a 747 was trying to land in our room. We eventually adjusted to the sound, but it was sooo loud!

The loudness did help with the next problem, partiers in the halls, loud, drunk and obnoxious most of the night. Woke up frequently, but they finally quieted down toward morning. We pushed towels along the bottom of the door to try and drown out the sound. Finally, there's .....

*The UGLY*

Breakfast! Breakfast at this LaQuinta goes until 11am on Sundays. We went down around 10 am. There wasn't a single clean table. We had to use napkins to clean off a table to sit at.

There wasn't an attendant in sight, (and only a couple other tables had people at them). At every other LaQuinta we have stayed at, there is always someone there, cleaning up the room and restocking during breakfast. This room had not been cleaned or restocked in quite awhile.

The were no pastries or donuts or bread to make toast, if there had been they were long gone, but we didn't see a place for them.

The apple juice was warm, colored water...and usually the apple juice at La Quinta is delicious. Tried some orange juice and it was flavorful but warm too. Perhaps the dispenser that dispenses the juices was broken, just not sure.

The waffle batter was very thin and watered down so it was hard to make a good waffle.

They had biscuits and sausage gravy too. The sausage gravy was good, but the biscuits were so hard they could have broken a window if you threw one at it! Totally hard and stale. Hubby was very disappointed because sausage gravy and biscuits is his favorite breakfast. He finally got some of the sausage gravy and put it in a bowl and skipped the biscuits. He would have made toast...but there wasn't any bread (and remember, breakfast wasn't over for an hour yet).

The worst thing of all though was the floor! It was filthy...so dirty our feet stuck to it whenever we walked on it. That floor needs a good scrubbing and probably has needed on for quite awhile.

I'm giving this hotel a 3 because there were a lot of good things at this hotel...but the stuff that was bad was REALLY bad! Would stay here again in a pinch (and that hot tub WAS heavenly)...but I really hope they make some changes, because this could be a great hotel with a little effort.
