Stayed at the La Quinta for about 4 days. The price was somewhat below other hotels since we stayed for 4 days we got a little better deal. The location was in the middle of were we were going so it was handy. Did not run into traffic as we tried to time our arrivals away from work traffic.

The hotel is average, There was coffee spilled in the elevator. Even when they cleaned it the elevator stunk a little musty mostly. But not a biggie.

They tell you to lock your doors and take your stuff out of your car. I think they may have trouble with breakins we parked our car and I noticed broken car window glass in the space. Not sure how long it was there. We did feel safe at the hotel, but that glass was disturbing. It should have been cleaned up better, so as not to alarm the guests.

The hotel did not offer wireless internet only wired internet they did supply a cable. The access was rather slow however.

It was recently remodeled and it looked good inside. They have this thing at La Quintas about giving you 2 large towels because they want to help save the environment. I say give me a break and stop being cheap. But we asked and received towels.

The breakfast consisted of bagels and sliced bread when they had them (which was only one day, when we stayed for 4). They had orange juice, apple juice and milk 3 of the 4 days. Didn't seem to matter what time we showed up. Everyday there was less and less food available. Mostly high carb selections, that appeared to have been defrosted prior to serving. Was very disappointed in the breakfast. They had most of the entries the first day but less and less choices the other 3 days. They had nice muffins, make it yourself waffles,eggs and fruit and drinks. Bagels and bread seemed to be gone most of the times we went. It does get old to eat the same old high carbs. But it should have been consistant.

One thing on the the La Quinta hotels themselves. They allow pets, we had someone next door with a dog that barked at night but he quieted down. They were there one night. I don't particually like spending my nights with barking animals. I also had trouble sleeping 2 of the 4 nights. A constant clock alarm we going off at night that only I appeared to hear. But if you run the AC it covered the sound. But it gets cold running it constantly.

Speaking of the AC they have this thermostat that we had trouble controling. It would not sense the temperature right. It would get really cold when it ran but got really hot before starting back up again. It was just really wierd and not very comfortable.

We ate at a place called shanes rib shack and it was very affordable and the food was great wasn't the cleanest place. So you may want to find one they are around. It took us a while to find the restaurants but they are close by. The hotel has a map to them. Most were pretty expensive.

Went to The atlanta aquarium it was fine. Went to coke cola tour The working bottler was really not working it was mostly simulated. It was expensive and mostly a big coke promo. Not much to it. The tasting of the different coke products from around the world was good.

Went to stone mountain it was very very good. The kids liked it a lot. So if you have kids try that one. It was $100.00 for 4 through AAA.

The rooms are big enough and newly renovated and while they were nothing spectacular they were above average for $55/night. The hotel staff wasn't really rude, but I wouldn't call them helpful either. I'd say they were slightly below average. The pool was disgusting. There was a scum on the surface and it was full of leaves, hair ties, bandaids, and other junk. The spa was even worse. The breakfast wasn't very good with not many choices. Also note that this is a pet friendly hotel and we had a yapping dog across the hallway from us that would bark and scratch at the door when its owners weren't there. The hotel is around a mile away from a MARTA station and is very convenient for a Braves game. There are also lots of restaurants nearby.

Overall, for $55/night this hotel was above average but with a few small tweaks this hotel could be excellent.

I must say compared to my last stay at this location Feb'07 when I was totally disappointed, it was a great improvement. I love this location, the area is great, and the price and amenity. I loved the new decor. My only complaint is the breakfast, in the past there were more choices, and the cleanliness of the room needs improvement this was one of complaint before and it is something the property needs to work on, when I'm on vacation I don't feel that I need to clean my own hotel room in order to feel comfortable.

What a wonderful surprise this La Quinta was! The hotel is beautiful and very well laid out. We selected this location since we could have pets there. The rooms have been redone and are nicer than hotels at double the price. I would definitely stay here again.
