The breakfast has great choices; good ole traditional breakfast items (eggs, potatoes, sausage, toast/muffins/bagels, yogurt, oatmeal, juice, and kid (and adult) friendly waffles). Yummy! Oh and a must..good coffee! The staff stood by ready to help anyone who needed assistance, and they jumped in at times even before being asked. Leave a tip for them! Front desk clerks were helpful and friendly. There were three of us with two beds and a pull out. There is also a full kitchen. The blow dryer was better than anywhere else I have stayed..ha! I didn't visit the pool or hot tub but heard good things! We may stay again for next year's retreat! We're from Indiana and Ohio.

I truly hope anyone needing a hotel in Joplin, MO checks Yelp reviews, this one in particular…read more We've stayed many times over the years at this hotel but most recently until last weekend was three years ago. I gave them a great review then. But now? Eww. Basically $200 a night for a one king bed room held not any kind of expected value. 1. The mattress was as old as the hotel, smelled musty and was hard as a rock (with a random 3 pillows). 2. The pool has slippery porcelain tile around it. I've not used a pool at their Hilton brand before and maybe this is typical for them. With that said, if you or your family are going to use the pool, TAKE WATER SHOES! 3. The pool area was 1 million degrees. Actually, it was 138 degrees. Outside was nearly 100 but we opened both outside doors for cross ventilation and that helped, considerably. 4. The breakfast was hideous. I had to check my watch to see if it was closing bc so many things were completely empty. 8:10 am on a Sunday. Still a long time remaining on their (un)complimentary breakfast. And the coffee? Don't get me started. 5. I requested extra pillows about 8:00 pm. They finally brought 2, hours later... without pillowcases. Was that a joke?!?! 6. The outdoor furniture that was cozy and fun to sit outside and chat with 3 years ago has literally SHREDDED cushions. (Is the goal to NOT have people outside?) This hotel has to be a franchise, with a completely careless owner. I'll never go back. 2 stars earned for location alone.

We arrived at an odd moment, with better timing than other guests: the electrical power in Joplin…read morehad been knocked out for hours that afternoon, and even after it came back on, the hotel's computer system and elevators were not fully functional. Other people had been waiting 2 and 3 hours to check in, or had to haul luggage up 4 flights of stairs to their rooms, whereas we waited 15 minutes to check-in and had to go up 1 flight. Thirty minutes later, the elevators were working, too. The woman working at check-in was all by herself and incredibly pleasant, even as she was understandably frazzled. I really wished she had some help. Or a big hug from someone at the end of the day. I hope the company recognizes her for working hard in extraordinary circumstances. We had a suite, and it was spacious. Our teenage son used the fold out sofa bed while we had the private bedroom. A bathroom was accessible from both rooms. The kitchen at the entrance included a full size fridge with big freezer, which was great for solidifying the packs from my cooler. There was also a microwave, dishwasher, and a coffee pot that we didn't use. We did find a broken thing in the room, the security brace at the door. We tried to set it, and it fell onto the floor! We let the front desk know about that as we left. The bathroom was handicap accessible and had a tub with a hand wand as well as an overhead nozzle. Everything in the bathroom functioned. The bed was comfortable. I couldn't hear noise from the corridor during the night, but there was noise from occasional trucks and that was quite loud. The overall location of the hotel was nice. There are many restaurants within easy walking distance. Lots of gas stations and other shops, too.

We stayed at this hotel from our way from California to Joplin, Mo. We booked three rooms for our…read moreparty of four and found them to be all clean and spacious considering there was a full refrigerator, a countertop stove, and a stove in each room. In each bathroom there was penty of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash offered, as well as towels. Even though there was renovations going on the first two floors it was quiet in the early mornings while it was going on. The hotel also offered a free breakfast for all their guest such as eggs, bacon, potatoes, and different other types of hot breakfast foods they switched daily such as quiche and burritos. And, there were other types of items available such as a variety of cold cereals, hot oatmeal, bread for toast, and bagels. We met Leslie who did the cooking and made sure there was plenty of everything for everyone who came to the dining area. She was very friendly to everyone in the dining area too. She deserves a 10 out of 10 for excellent customer service. And last, but not least, we would like to give Tracy, who worked the front-desk a 10 out of 10 for her friendly and welcoming customer service too. Thank you ladies!

I have 3 picky grandkids with me and they were happy! All the staff was very friendly and helpful. Even though the hotel is older, there are a lot of modern updates. The room was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and we were very pleased. The pool wasn't huge, but it was very clean and the patio area set up was nice with comfortable places to sit and fresh clean dry towels. We stayed in a suite with 2 beds, 2 separate rooms and a nice big closet with a vanity area and a kitchen area for under $150! Recommend HIGHLY!

We received a very nice welcome when we arrived. Check-in was a breeze. The next morning, they went out of their way to find out if the eggs they used had dairy in the mixture (it did), as we have a very dairy intolerant child. Finally, when we were leaving, we bought a couple bottles of water, but I didn't realize the charge didn't clear until we'd started to drive away. I went back, but the woman working the front desk said she'd taken care of it! It was so kind, and will not be forgotten!

The hotel is attached to Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom, which made dining incredibly easy after traveling. The location is also close to a variety of other restaurants, giving guests plenty of options nearby. I started my meal at Old Chicago with my usual Caesar salad, which was fresh, crisp, and a great way to begin. I also tried the Deep Oven Bang Bang Shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious. The shrimp were flavorful, satisfying, and easily one of my favorite parts of the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the hand-tossed pizza topped with beef sausage and pepperoni. The crust had a great texture, and the combination of savory toppings, melted cheese, and sauce made every bite enjoyable. It was filling without feeling overly heavy, and I would definitely order it again. I also tried the Sweet Basil Strawberry Lemonade with Tito's, and it was the perfect drink to pair with my meal. It was refreshing and flavorful, with the Tito's adding just the right touch. Overall, La Quinta Inn in Joplin provided a comfortable stay with convenient amenities and a great location. Having Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom attached to the hotel made dining easy, while the nearby restaurants offered even more choices. The hotel's comfort, accessibility, and dining options made this stay absolutely worth leaving my room and the hotel.

They're spacious and don't look like a chain hotel, with a cookie-cutter layout and amenities. We've stayed here before and the only complaint we previously had was the lack of open restaurants (weekdays, only 2 options) and something to do besides gamble. With Joplin only 15 minutes away, you're not going to starve. Compared to other casinos/hotels, Downstream is left a bit lacking. I know this may sound weird, stating you didn't want to gamble in a casino, but this place is a convention hub. So they could add something to accommodate the variety of tastes of visitors. But the facilities are very nice!
