"Satisfied but sleep was poor... Kids loved it"

Waterpark for my son 10 and daughter 6 was great I thought there layout of the park was great. My sleep was poor because of mattress sunk in like a bowl and very uncomfortable. Despite lack of sleep when I checked out and said something he showed no sympathy or compassion not even a sorry to hear that, that is what frustrated me since I do work in customer service field.
Personnel were very helpful, called my room as soon as I checked in to see if the room was up to standard. Didn't have to go out of hotel to eat, they have the Slider's Bar and Grill next door. Best of all it was a quiet hotel and we were able to sleep.
We stayed here previously in 2010 and wasnt all that impressed then. We like to stay at LaQuinta's because of their pet friendly policy. We were very disappointed with the quality of the room and the building. The front desk staff was inatttentive to us and we had the feeling that we were botherthing them by checking in. We were surprised with the poor quality of the room. The bathroom was dirty and not dirty in the aspect that it hadn't been cleaned after the previous guest it was dirty like it hadn't been cleaned well after several guests. The same could be said for the rest of the room. The bedding was at best lowest grade and thread count. For the price we paid I expected better. It would have been nice to be told that we are forced to pay for the waterpark even if we didn't use it. This LaQuinta is not even an option for us in the future.
Upon arrival we were greeted by a very helpful front desk clerk. We got a king suite which was nice size wise. Within 15 minutes the front desk called to confirm things were ok with the room. At that point there were no complaints. We ate downstairs in the restaurant on site and food was average. No mint for mojitos during our 4 day stay- really no store carries it?
Breakfast was same day after day so we went elsewhere.
Ok now the room upon closer inspection- makeup on bathroom counter, stained carpet, dirty bedspread and 1 bar of soap and 1 washcloth and no Kleenex. We had to request soap and shampoo and they did not restock the coffee, took away the extra soap and shampoo.
The on site restaurant does offer an excellent pizza and Reuben. Rib eye steak was mainly fat but taste was good for what little meat it had.
Beware of the $7.95 water park/resort fee tacked onto your bill especially if you don't use it. Really doubt I would ever try another one of these unless traveling with our dog.
This hotel is located near all the places and attractions we wanted to visit on our vacation. The best part was spending the evening at the indoor water park relaxing and enjoying the great food and beverages offered by the hotels restaurant (Sliders) while the children played. Will definitely stay at this hotel again!
