La Quinta Inn Houston La Porte

Older motel but pretty decent. Nice people in the front who goes out of there way to help you. They only had smoking rooms available and she sprayed it down for me since smoke bothered me. Even called a couple hours later to see if everything was okay which I thought was pretty nice of her. Nothing fancy but if you’re looking for a place to sleep this is perfect

Avoid this hotel if you can. It’s dirty, nasty stinky and run down. The staff are the best part!!! I wouldn’t stay here if it was free. It smells like feet and it’s filthy. They need to remodel this property ASAP or shut it down. Again the staff here are awesome but hotel is awful!!!

No complaints. Staff are great. Room was clean. Shuttle and parking worth checking into. Sports bar next door. Our only surprise was the pillows. Gave us neck ache.

Smelled horrible the moment I reached on property. King room had no fridge and no microwave. The room was cleaned sub par and the bed sank in, and made squeaky noises. The bathroom was alright. No business center. The staff couldn’t do anything at this point, but management can change a lot. I paid over $ 75 but reasonably should be $ 45-​$ 50. I will not be coming back at any cost.

CHECKING OUT OF THIS PLACE IN LESS THAN 3 hours! Hotwire secret rooms rates this 85% recommended, REALLY? One of the lady staff members was rude and unprofessional on the phone. Room wasn’t even fully ready at 430pm when check in is at 3pm. Room door doesn’t fully close and makes it extremely loud, can hear every single vehicle outside. AC is loud when turns on. Light switches for the bathroom seem like they’d shock me if I even touch them. One of the doors on the closet doesn’t open at all. Room itself looks clean but if you look closely, there are few stains on the sheets. Point is if you want to stay in a cheap room this is it, but don’t expect amazing service or even proper breakfast from what I’m reading by other reviewers on here, Google or any other review site. On top of that when we requested one bed instead of double bed since it’s our 9 year anniversary, they say the kings are fully booked. Yet when I called La Quinta direct and even checked online they have quite a few kings available. Good luck to anyone else staying here. Wasted $ 71!

I booked my stay here without high expectations. I looked at reviews before hand and the ones I saw were decent to good. It was in the vicinity of where my family and I were going to visit and decently priced. I should have seen that as a sign.
The visit started off on the wrong foot at check in. I booked a non smoking room with a king size bed. They said that «they» (I booked on the hotel’s website) didn’t specify smoking or non and all they had was smoking left. She offered me a non smoking with 2 double beds instead and I passed and just took the king. I was shown a map to find my room and given my keys. They didn’t give me any info about when breakfast is or about WiFi.
Luckily the room did not smell much at all, but things went further down hill. The ac was LOUD and if you wanted a cool room, it ran non stop. There were spiders in the bathroom. I killed one on the shower curtain and there were two more in a web in the corner. My daughter (who is 1) found a dead roach. There was a fly in the room. If you walked around barefoot your feet would turn black from the dirty floors. The shower head was mounted so low that I had to duck down to wash my hair. The tub looked dirty and stained. I probably could go on.
The rooms seem very outdated, which I can easily overlook for the price. Our room had a decently sized mini fridge and microwave. The bed was pretty comfortable. We were luckily we had a first floor room so we didn’t have to lug everything up the stairs.
I would never stay here again. I made the mistake of trying to be frugal and got what I paid for. I have stayed in other LQs in the past and they have been pretty good, but they are definitely not all created equal.

We stayed here for one night as a place to crash prior to leaving on our cruise the next day to the western riviera on Princess Cruise line. What a DUMP. Worst night ever. Room key electronic reader was broken. Night manager had to let us in. Once inside the room smelled like a swampy cigarette ashtray. Found dead bed bugs and hairs between the mattress and box spring. As luck would have it, the place was sold out. It was late (10pm) and we ended up stuck in the nasty room with two kids. Luckily my in-​laws were in another room and they kept our luggage. Sleep sucked, the rottweiler in the room below barked anytime someone walked by their room. We got the heck out of there and on the cruise ship. Where we got to spend the first 4 hours doing laundry because all of the clothes that were in that room smelled like the swampy ashtray. What a pit, I complained and got a «sorry» from the clerk. If your flying into Houston and looking for a place to stay prior to heading to the cruise terminal, then I would suggest staying in a place by the airport (Hobby) and taking a shuttle to the terminal the next day. There are better hotels to choose from around there.

Our room was clean. The beds didn’t sag. The fridge didn’t work in our room.
Got down to breakfast and the waffle mix dispenser didn’t work, so we couldn’t have waffles. We look forward to those. It’s been broke for 3 days.
Our room was around back. The parking lot looks like a junk yard in back. Someone has 3 motorcycles parked and a flatbed trailer covered with a tarp. None of them look like they have been moved in a long time.

Breakfast was skimpy. One of the sheets on the bed was dirty. Rooms are modern and up to date. Price is reasonable.

This is a convenient & affordable motel with basic amenities & good customer service. Our room had TV, mini refrigerator, telephone, clock/​radio, desk/​table, coffee maker, small closet, and separate bathroom & lavatory. Amenities were nothing special, but the friendly & competent desk staff should make this motel very competitive with similar lodging competitors. Front desk personnel were always on-​task & ready to answer questions, give change, and diligently address concerns. I would stay here again — whether traveling for business or pleasure.
As this was a business trip, I had precious few opportunities to hang out in the beautiful lobby, but I enjoyed the complementary breakfast there with my colleagues every morning during our stay. Breakfast includes fresh baked Texas-​size, Texas-​shaped Belgian waffles, pre-​fab & celophane-​wrapped bagels & muffins, oatmeal, yogurt, and, of course, cereal with milk. Coffee, hot tea, and apple & orange juices are also available, but the juices are the reconstituted, machine-​mixed type. The orange juice tasted too sweet, and I didn’t try the apple juice, but perhaps these juices will suit most people just fine.
The rooms & property are clean overall, with attentive maids who always appeared ready to change our sheets & give us whatever towels we needed. The maids are also quite personable & speak English. We noticed some mustiness in one of the closets, but this kind of thing may be unavoidable in a mid-​range motel so near the gulf coast.
The washer & dryer was much appreciated by us, working so far from home for about a week. Bring your detergent or plan to get it from the grocery store right across the freeway. There’s also a handy ice machine & some vending, and several very good restaurants, grocers, and other food places are nearby. My colleagues tell me there’s a 24-​hour bar across the street, but I did not check to verify it.
The swimming pool is clean & has a comfortable deck with chairs, tables, and loungers, but the water is not cooled & therefore subject to the prevailing outdoor temperature. A tall fence with a room-​keyed gate prevents interlopers from intruding upon your recreation time.
Parking is usually pretty good, but there are some busy times, when there are lots of motel guests & nearby restaurant patrons, that test your patience. You might have to park in the back & walk a bit far to your room, but it’s not really too bad.

We stayed here March 31, 2012 for one night. It was a decent stay for one night. The rooms do have a swampy smell. But I wonder if that is pretty common for places here because the humidity is through the roof! I’m not use to that since I’m from Colorado, but figured maybe that was what I was smelling.?? I hope it wasn’t due to mildew as I know that can be really bad for people and allergies. The AC was a bit noisy and raddled quit a bit. Not too much of a problem for me because I always sleep with ear plugs while in hotels. The beds were comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful. The pool was clean, but cold even for my Colorado cold blood! We swam anyway and a lot of people looked at us like we were crazy. Probably southerners that are use to warm water? Anyway it’s only a couple miles from Sylvan beach park and we also went there to go swimming in the dirty looking water. We had a lot of fun at the beach regardless of the looks of the water. We are not use to the heat in Texas, so in the water was the place for us! The room also had a microwave, mini fridge, table, chairs, and small flat screen tv. Everything you need really. Nothing special, but I got it dirt cheap with a bid. The continental breakfast was toast, muffins, Danish, coffee, juices, cereal, boiled eggs and you could make yourself waffles. I wish they had more fruit available. All they had were some dark apples that didn’t look very good to me. Not a bad place for a short stay, but they really should replace their AC units and find out what’s causing the swampy smell.

Wow, what to say about this hotel? Well, it’s got beds to sleep in and free breakfast. The room wasn’t the worst I’ve experienced, but nothing really felt clean in it. It was previously a smoking room and the stale smell made that obvious. The pool facility was okay, but there seems to be a drainage problem around the pool where the chairs are. We ate the continental breakfast both mornings but OH MY GOSH! Get to it early or you will be standing to eat and bumping elbows with everyone. The areas the food is served was filthy both days we ate and it seemed like NO ONE knew how to just toss a cup in the trash.
Like I said, it wasn’t the worst place I’ve stayed and it was decent for the price we paid off
