We had an amazing hostess that went above and beyond to help make us feel so comfortable. Unfortunately , we had issues with the owner. The day of the rehearsal, she kept walking through the hall and listing what she wanted us to change. We were told that we had access to the entire property, then she told us the bridal suite was not part of it. Later she decided to open it up for us to change. She left a room unlocked that had an ice machine inside so we used the ice to keep our drinks cold. She then came in again to tell us that we were not supposed to be in the room and told us we should not have used her ice. She complained that we did not use table clothes to cover the entire table. Anytime we would ask a questio, her response was "you're really pushing me today". After a talk with her and expressing my frustration, she left the hall and did not return until the event was over.

When the situation became clear it was not going to be resolved even with photograph evidence not receiving food/drinks and the proof of payment we let it go.

I rarely give one-star reviews, but based on our 2-night experience in March 2026 this place…read moredeserves no better. While the public spaces of the hotel look good, the 2 guest rooms we saw had issues. Given the mix of glowing and bad reviews I saw on the hotel's own website I have to wonder if the place has some rooms that are much nicer than others. This LaQuinta looks nice on the outside and is located near several other hotels, including a Hampton where we've previously stayed. We may have booked this place because it has a guest laundry... but I don't recall. There are a couple of restaurants within easy walking distance but there are no sidewalks to get there. This hotel and others in the area seemed pretty empty on the weekend we stayed. This wasn't surprising given Winnie isn't a touristy area and spring break was ending. We could not get into the first room we were assigned. The key cards didn't work at all. After being reprogrammed, they still didn't work. The afternoon manager tried her universal key and couldn't get in. The second room we were assigned, on the 2nd floor, took several tries to get in. The key cards didn't operate smoothly. Once we got in, the room smelled very strongly of disinfectant. We could hear a crying baby across the hall. So this room was a no-go as well. At that point I asked for a refund and we were told the room was booked through a 3rd party. While I wasn't sure that was true, we decided to try another room. This time, the card keys both worked. The first floor room was quiet and seemed clean, but showed wear and tear to walls and the floor. There was an odor similar to the 2nd room, but a bit less prominent. We tolerated it, and the 2nd night seemed better. Fortunately, the king bed was comfortable. The nightstands in our room each had 2 110V outlets, and there were also outlets on the sconces above. There was an alarm clock on one nightstand. We neglected to check it, and it went off at 6 am on our first morning. The TV worked well, and the room furnishings looked relatively new. The bathroom had a tub shower. Liquid toiletries in the shower were older bottles of Dove brand, but there was no shower gel... just 2 shampoo bottles and 1 of conditioner. There was a small bar of soap for handwashing. There were no washcloths in the room. Flushing the toilet took several tries each time. Water pressure in the shower was poor, and the temperature varied. There were very few patrons in the hotel the 2nd night we stayed, so there's no excuse for this. The tub floor was slick, and the grab bar location wasn't optimal. Breakfast was included, but the hours were extremely limited, 6-9 am, even on the weekend. The selection was familiar: powdered eggs, potatoes, and a sausage patty... plus a waffle machine for hot items. Only regular coffee or tea (Bigelow) were available, plus orange juice. The breakfast area was bright and cheerful at first glance... with some obvious issues (see photos). It's been a long time since we've stayed at a LaQuinta, and it's likely we will not choose this brand in the future. This particular hotel is a victim of poor maintenance and should definitely be avoided.

The ranking is a mystery to me. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years in my job, and that ranking is ridiculous at best and suspect at worst. There were two pluses that I can honestly point out: The modern hip colors in blue , grey and red, if you like their minimalist decor and the coffee that is only in the eating area is very good. The Best Western Plus we stayed in the night before far exceeded this place in every way!
