I needed somewhere to stay because I was coming up from NJ for two nights to surprise my parents for their 50th anniversary. I work nights as an ER nurse, so finding somewhere to get quality sleep for those nights was my priority. I chose to stay at La Quinta because they advertised on Hotels.com, as well as on their own website, that they have âpillow top mattresses.â On top of needing quality sleep I also have back issues so all I cared about was the comfort of the bed. Well, that was a lie- there was no pillow top mattress. It was a hard, uncomfortable mattress that I could hardly sleep on. The first night I could only get about 3 hours of tossing and turning. I chose not to stay the second night and drove home at 11pm instead of sleeping in that awful mattress again, losing over $200 that I spent for the night. I thought about complaining to management and trying to get my money back but I was too exhausted. On top of the bed situation, the fire alarm in the hotel went off just as I was getting into the shower to get ready to surprise my parents for their 50th and I had to evacuate the hotel for 20 mins while the fire department cleared the hotel. This delay screwed up my familyâs surprise. Needless to say, this stay was totally awful. Iâll never stay at La Quinta again, nor will I recommend it to anyone.
