I had a solid stay overall. The rooms were spacious and tidy, perfect for family trips. The indoor water park was a hit with my kids, which made our visit quite enjoyable. However, the repetitive breakfast options got a bit dull after a few days, and the housekeeping service was lacking. I'll definitely consider returning but hope for improved dining variety and housekeeping consistency next time.

Our stay at the hotel was pretty mixed. On one hand, the indoor water park was a great hit with the kids, and the staff were sincere and kind throughout our visit. However, there were definitely some drawbacks. The room wasn't as clean as expected, and the parking situation was frustrating. Overall, it felt a bit overpriced for what we received, especially with the added resort fee for the water park.

Our family had a fantastic experience at La Quinta! The hotel is right next to the WaTiki waterpark, which was such a treat for my kids. The facilities were well-kept, and our room was always clean and stocked after daily adventures. Breakfast was enjoyable, although we had to wait a bit for waffles due to demand. Overall, the value for our stay was great, and we felt very welcomed throughout.

5.0/10

I had high hopes for my stay at La Quinta, especially with the promise of the water park and breakfast included, but it fell short of my expectations. The dirty room and poorly managed breakfast area turned what could have been a fun experience into a frustrating one. On the brighter side, the location is convenient and accessible, which makes it a nice option if you’re looking to explore the area.

The hotel's location is great for accessing nearby attractions, but the lack of parking made it a little tricky especially with the water park sharing the space.

Dining

Breakfast options were limited and poorly managed, everything seemed to be either spilled or empty. It definitely did not live up to what I expected from previous La Quinta stays.

The water park was a nice feature, but I was disappointed to learn it wasn’t included in our hotel stay and was closing for renovations.
