La Quinta Inn Omaha Southwest

The only positive about this hotel is the front desk staff. Very courteous and helpful, they listened to our concerns and tried to rectify as best they could. The gal at the front desk when we checked out actually wrote down my concerns so she could address them and showed she was listening, which I very much appreciated. I could easily give the front desk staff 5 stars. Otherwise, the hotel itself is kind of grungy. We needed a pet friendly hotel, and didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. Overall the hotel has an odd smell, there's no elevator to cart all your belongings up the stairs (luckily it's only 1 flight of stairs) and our room was not particularly clean. When we got to our room there used dental floss on the floor, dirty towels hung in the bathroom (like half a woman's face of makeup on it), & some unknown muck in the shower. We were too exhausted from an 8 hr drive with stressed kitties to try to find a different hotel, so we made it work. If you're in a bind and need something to accommodate your pets, this will work in a pinch.

Hotel is pet friendly (no fee / deposit). Our room smelled a little smoky despite being designated smoke free, but staff was really helpful and offered us a new room. Linens were clean and a very ok continental breakfast was included. Price is right and staff is great.

While the front desk staff are friendly and the hotel looks decent from the outside, this is dedinitely the worst hotel I've ever stayed at, certainly for $100. My husband hastraveled the world his entire career and he said this is in his top 10 worst hotels. The smell of mold and mildew hits you as soon as you walk in the door. The hotel is in dire need of updates, carpeting is disgustingly dirty and I'm pretty sure the beds are made of straw. The lamps must be at least 30 years old, but they do work. I didn't have any lofty expectations with staying at LaQuinta; I'm familiar with the brand but this hotel isn't worth $10. I would have slept in my vehicle except I foolishly made a reservation online in advance.

This was actually my second time staying at the La Quinta Inn Southwest. The first time I was traveling with my father over the summer so I didn't notice much about many of the processes. This time was a two day one night trip to spend with my husband, and kids at the zoo among other things in Omaha. I was greeted warmly by the desk clerk who checked me in expediently while also signing me up for their rewards program. Our dog even received a welcome treat. The room was clean, and comfortable. The background themes for the tv screensaver worked wonders for helping my toddlers feel at home for bed as it mimicked closely their noise machine from their room. The breakfast room is slightly cramped if a lot of people are getting in, and out. But that is a relatively small inconvenience considering the rest of our stay was fantastic. The location is also only 15 minutes away from the zoo, and many other attractions.

2 stars for the day staff! Visiting family friends etc.. 12 am Guy popped out of the back seat of a car ( no one else on it) asked me if I would share the rest of my cig with him? No! I did notice they lived there. Saw him earlier a bunch tweekers. When I approached night staff(front desk), I was told that's creppy - when I go out for a cigarette and if he approaches me I will tell him he can't do that. NOT THE POINT! As a couple we will not return, I would not recommend this location to families. There was towed while we where leaving.
