6.6/10

The hotel could use an upgrade in certain areas, like the old AC system instead of a wall thermostat control, and the cleanliness was an issue with filthy carpets and stained bedding in room 321. On the bright side, the location is good relative to downtown Sarasota, albeit with some minor concerns like feeling a little uneasy and missing expected features for a La Quinta.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms in general could use an upgrade. Despite that, the rooms were still comfortable at our original reservation rate, even though the AC system was outdated and the cleanliness could be improved.

Service

7.0

The service was attentive but had its drawbacks, as they offered to switch rooms after inspecting the issues. If any service issues arise, contacting management for a possible refund of the reservation is recommended.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location is close to Centennial Park, but expectations were not fully met as some features were lacking compared to other La Quinta locations.

Dining

5.0

The dining options were limited and the quality of the complimentary continental breakfast was below par, with lukewarm sausage and rubbery eggs. The overall meal options left much to be desired.

Facilities

6.0

Despite some cleanliness issues like stains on the sofa bed and a cockroach in the dining area, the facilities are decent for a La Quinta.

6.2/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, just a stone's throw away from St Armand's Circle, Lido Beach, and Longboat Key, making it super convenient for exploring the Sarasota area. However, the room cleanliness left much to be desired, with smoky odors and unclean sheets, though we managed to switch to a better room eventually. The service was a mix of friendliness and unresponsiveness, making the experience a bit inconsistent.

Rooms

United States, April 2023

5.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a nightmare. The rooms had a terrible odor due to the wet carpet, and the pool was not clean after the second night. The place felt more like a rundown motel than a reputable hotel chain. The experience was so bad that I ended up moving to another hotel, spending extra money and feeling completely exhausted and disappointed that La Quinta still had my money.

Rooms

5.0

The room was filled with smoke and not properly cleaned, with stained bedding, smelly shower curtain, no sink drainage, and roaches in the bathroom, living area, and bedroom.

Service

5.0

The service staff was completely unhelpful and unwelcoming. They did not refund me despite the terrible conditions and even seemed to make fun of my complaints.

Location

5.0

The location was not as expected, not really close to downtown as suggested in the name. The area was flooded, and the presence of a prostitute checking in made it evident that this was not a family-friendly place.

Dining

5.0

There were minimal dining options, and I encountered issues with breakfast only upon arrival. The whole place needed renovating, and the experience was far from pleasant.

Facilities

5.0

It was apparent that no effort was being made to maintain the property properly.
