Nice location away from downtown, on the seawall . No beach right there but close in both directions. north is warmer (almost too warm) south is cooler. Good parking with elevators in the back to the floors (very nice) Breakfast was good, eating area clean, fresh coffee all day. Nice computer area, good clean spa and pool. Pool is a little small but refreshing and can hold several people. House keeping was daily and we had no problems with anything being missing. We did leave little tips 1 - 2 dollars daily. Shuttle available. Walls seem to be good and sound a little noise but not much. Not so thin you need to be worried about being heard if your having a little fun;). I like this place and so does my fun loving wife;)!

Booked on Priceline for $47 for an offseason Sat night. Revealed 100% non smoking after bid accepted. Room was large, clean & quite. Hallway was dirty & needed to be cleaned. Unsecured elevators. Place to insert key card but door was always unlocked........ allowing anyone access to elevator & guest floors. In my opinion, too far out Seawall. Not close to food, bars or shopping. Staff was friendly & free continental breakfast was nice.

I have stayed in this hotel off and on since it first opened about 7 years or so ago...but what a difference a few years make. This was our first trip back in three years, and first trip back since their last hurricane and it seems as though...well let's put it this way, no FEMA money was spent on this hotel. All staff at the hotel we friendly except for the evening clerk that checked us in as we got the distinct impression we were keeping her from doing something more important than her job (texting?, watching tv? who knows)

The real reason for this low rating was the condition of our room. The carpet was extremely filthy, the walls were stained with the wallpaper peeling up in places, and even the lampshades were dirty. I fully expected to find little bed bug critters keeping us company but fortunately that wasn't the case. Quite simply, this hotel does not belong in the La Quinta chain. On the plus side, the continental breakfast was quite good.

Two new hotels have opened up on either side of this one (Holiday Inn Express and Comfort Suites, I think) and next time I'll give one of them a try as it doesn't look like this La Quinta is going to change anytime soon.

We stayed for 1 night on Sat., 11/12/2011. We paid $106 + tax for a room w/ 2 king beds. I consider this grossly over-priced for the quality, but I believe that the property was close to capacity in terms of bookings, so I suppose they can ask what the market will bear.

The overall condition of the property is not great. The lobby is dated and there are many signs of wear & tear throughout the inn.

We, too, encountered the security issue with the door from the parking garage that CelticCruiser pointed out. Doors to elevators were accessible to everyone although there was a non-operational key card swipe panel present.

One of the biggest issue I had with this property is the POOR customer service. Our reservation confirmation email indicated that we would be able to check in at noon. When I called the hotel to confirm this, I encountered a grumpy man who said, "I don't care what your confirmation says, I don't have that room available until 3 PM." He added, "What do you want me to do, kick someone out?!" Absolutely unnecessary attitude.

The lackluster customer service continued through check-in (at 3 PM) when I interacted with a surly woman who barely cared enough to make eye contact. She was clearly just going through the motions to process the people & put them in rooms. A friendly smile & greeting? Not here.

Our room was fairly comfortable & clean but the furnishings were in need of updating & upgrading. This place has seen better days, I'm guessing.

Our smoke detector began to beep early in the evening and the front desk clerk (different lady) was not very interested in helping. She gave us a replacement battery to install ourselves, but this didn't help. Beep, beep beep. We ended up bringing her the entire smoke detector and it was never replaced during our stay. I have a feeling it's still missing from that room!

I've posted a photo of a bag of trash that remained by the elevator on our floor from the point of check in on Sat. afternoon until Sunday mid-morning. Ick. I mean, really.

Breakfast was unimpressive. Weak coffee. Cereal, bagels. No fresh fruit. No yogurt.

This place needs a lot of work, in terms of appearance, security, housekeeping & customer service. If you have another option, choose it!
