La Quinta by Wyndham Winnie

Poorly maintained, all but nonexistent maid service, and the worst breakfast in this or any other universe.

No housekeeping visit, no soap in shower, no soap was supplied when clerk specifically notified, breakfast food unappetizing, scarce supplies, no coffee cups in room.

Trouble began with our reservations. We were part of a group reservation and less than a week before leaving we were notified that our reservation was canceled. Actually, anther couple in our group canceled but the communication was terrible. The front desk couldn’t figure out the problem and there was a lot of angst generated trying to resolve the issue. Once at the hotel, check-in was efficient and went smoothly. Initially, the room seemed well appointed, WIFI was “free” but unsecured and we received some unwanted email from a Texas business after using the service. After our first day outing we returned to the room only to learn that service was every other day and all of our towels were still wet from morning showers. The next day we did receive cursory service with new towels and made beds. However, the complimentary coffee, toilet paper, and Kleenex were not replenished. When I went to the front desk the staff was only able to find toilet paper. The shower was okay with a nice soap and shampoo station but the sheet rock was damaged and shabby. Water temp was good and water pressure was a bit low but acceptable. With time, we noticed that the carpet and floors were heavily soiled. The HVAC was functional but noisy enough to waken us with every on-off cycle. About the best things I can say are that the location is good and the next door eatery, Tia Juanita’s Fish Camp, was easily accessible with a great menu, great service, and good food. In contrast, the hotel breakfast was standard fare, not regularly replenished, and mediocre. In summary, the poor service, dirty floors, and the obvious need for many structural repairs will lead us to seek another venue the next time we visit Winnie. It is probably worthwhile checking on availability at the nearby Hampton Inn.

This stay was part of a longer trip. I recommend this LaQuinta for ALL Travelers who are traveling with pets and kids - needing a simple & quick stop to refresh and continue on their way; or enjoy an extended Summer stay to enjoy a swim in the pool. This LaQuinta is perfectly located at the halfway point between Slidell, LA and San Antonio, Tx (with a Buc-ee’s 30 minutes more to the west as you drive toward San Antonio). To stretch your legs after your long drive, there’s a simple Chicken Restaurant adjacent to the Inn. For Your Comfort, The Inn is under a steady remodel. The exterior is coming along fabulously - along with eye popping colors in the common areas and rooms.

Easy check-in, clean tidy room.

We didn’t breakfast bc we had to get on the road early.

The TV didn't work, The AC controls did not work - had to turn it off completely, Coffee Pot did not have thing to put the coffee in, Telephone did not work, No bucket to put ice in - A very poor excuse for a LaQuinta Hotel. We have always stayed in LaQuintas - but will think twice about it next time. - Definitely will not stay in the one in Winnie, TX again,.

Okay
