La Quinta Disguised
This La Quinta looks like a Super 8 or Motel 6. I was expecting a regular La Quinta. I flew into Phoenix and arrived via public transport. The front desk very helpful and friendly. Had requested nonsmoking, ground floor. I was informed that there are no nonsmoking on the ground floor. Asked the check-in clerk if they were sure whereupon she looked further and found a room. Big mistake, it reeked of smoke, A young man came in and sprayed, placed a fan and some dissipated. The following morning at my business meeting I reeked of smoke, very embarrassing. This hotel is adjacent to I-17 and they have a contract with a trucking company. I inquired about the hotel van and was informed that it was used only to collect truck drivers from the trucking company. I was there for three days. Internet worked fine. Local bus service less than 100 yards from the hotel.
