Found the La Quinta to be clean, the location very convenient, the staff helpful, and our room to be a good value for the cost. We will definitely stay there again.

Good strategic location for a fast escape to Sea-Tac Airport in the morning (airport is approximately 10 minutes away by hotel shuttle, which departs the hotel every 30 minutes).
However, this La Quinta is rundown, and needs a complete refurbishment.
On the day I checked in, water was off for several hours. Service was restored by early evening.
Lobby and rooms need upgrading, but they are serviceable. No good views, but the rooms seem to be relatively quiet (3rd floor). Elevators are dark and dreary.
Front desk staff was cheerful and trying hard to please.
Located next to a Denny's, near service stations, and a busy intersection.
Hotel landscaping is non-existent. (Plant a tree, La Quinta: it will grow in 10 minutes, like everything else in the Pacific NW!)

After staying at this hotel for two nights (up arrival for vacation and before departure) I am amazed that it has gotten such good reviews. The hotel is rundown and when we were there the staff at the desk was very disorganized. The bathtub in both rooms but particularly the first one looked so dirty that I did not want to step in it with my bare feet. My husband was ill and when I explained to the desk clerk that we needed to be picked up as soon as possible from the train - she was less than helpful. The most courteous and helpful person was the shuttle driver who went out of her way to be of assistance. Additionally, I have no problem that this hotel allows pets (I have my own) but while in the lobby a guest came in with her dogs (2) one peed on the carpet and while the woman did attempt to clean it up with a paper towel- nothing was done by the staff to make sure it was thoroughly cleaned up.,

Excellent stay. Quiet and a wonderful bed. Great location.
Went to 13 Coins for dinner, very disappointed. Don't waste your money.
The young lady at the front desk sent me 3 miles to a liquor store when there was one next door I could have walked to. The staff should know better than that, I think.
Hit Dave's Dinner across the street for a great breakfast or a cocktail.
