Front Desk Staff needs training!
I knew that when I made my reservation at this hotel that I would not be expecting a high end place. For the price of $50, it was ok. The hotel and room was clean but needed an update in decor. Breakfast was sufficient. My problem was with the front desk lady. She was not professional at all. I do not expect a lot at this kind of hotel but I do want to feel welcome. She did not smile once even though I tried to joke around with her. She spoke so fast that I could not understand a word she said. She acted like it was an imposition that I came to check in. She looked like she had put her La Quinta shirt on after it was wadded up in a ball. Check out was the same with her. I passed a gentleman in the hall who walked into the office and he said hello with a smile and also the lady who was working in the laundry room was very warm. That made me feel better about staying here. First impressions mean a lot and I would suggest that the lady at the front desk either have better training or find a job where she is not as involved with people. She ruined the whole experience for me. If she was not working there, I would probably stay there again only because of the price.
