La Quinta Inn & Suites By Wyndham Leesville Ft. Polk

The room was okay for one night, and the beds were comfortable enough, but the place felt pretty average. Some surfaces needed a wipe and felt grimy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and being right next to post made the location really convenient. Fine for a quick stop, though the cleanliness needs a little more attention.

The food situation had me worried about getting sick. The coffee was cold on both days, and I had to ask the front desk to make more each time. The boiled eggs smelled rotten, so we wouldn't eat anything. There was a moldy smell in both the downstairs and second-floor hallways, and the downstairs bathroom smelled that way too. The back door doesn't lock, the hot tub has been filled with concrete, and after two nights the beds weren't great. This is the worst hotel I've stayed in for many, many years. Honestly, I'm not sure how it can be open in these conditions.

Breakfast was just waffle batter, brown-and-serve sausage, and lukewarm coffee. The front desk girl didn't give me the Wi-Fi information, and when I needed a toothbrush, they were out. The shower plumbing was very slow too. The staff need to take better care of guests than they did.

The sheets looked clean, but there was trash in the room corners and drawers, including sunflower seeds and cotton swabs from previous guests. It didn't seem like the room had been thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. The front desk and custodial staff were friendly, but the hotel itself is in disrepair, with many cracked floor tiles. Breakfast was hardly a breakfast: a few packaged items, no hot food, and a waffle maker that was out but broken. Flies swarmed around the juice dispenser, the breakfast area's microwave was broken, and the tea hot water came out lukewarm. I'm writing at length so people know what they're getting into. Staying here may be slightly better than sleeping in your car, but please don't waste your money.
