La Quinta Inn & Suites Appleton College Avenue

The room was in need of makeover. Two outlets — nonfunctional. Two lamps — didn’t work. After showering, you could hear water sloshing underneath the tub as you dried off (scary).
The layout of the building can best be described as «catacomb-​like», and the parking lot looks like it was last re-​surfaced during the Ford administration.

This is an older hotel obviously of some other brand. Reminds me of Holiday Inns of the seventies. Clean enough for its age, the rooms are big enough and clean. The pillow top mattress is comfortable. The bathroom was clean also. Carpet could be replaced, walls were freshly painted. Breakfast was not as good as Comfort Suites but they did have a hot component in scrambled eggs and sausage and waffles. For the price of about $ 75 the value is here as opposed to the recently inflated price of its close competition. We will stay here again. I do recommend this hotel.

Very comfortable room, microwave, fridge and stove. Close to two restaurants, Texas Roadhouse, and Applebee’s.

I was impressed by this hotel when I first arrived. After paying only $ 70/​night I expected much less. The lobby is large and nicely designed, almost has the feeling of a quasi-​resort, with many plants and couches and the upper level hallways are running balconies around the lobby.
My room was large, with a couch and kitchenette. Everything was very clean. I don’t know when they remodeled but everything looks very new.
The pool area seemed nice, although quite hot, and you had to walk through the actual pool-​room to get to breakfast for some reason, which seemed awkward.
The continental breakfast was nothing special, toast, bagels, waffles, cereal, donuts, cofee, milk, juice. But it was definitely nice to not have to leave the hotel for breakfast.
The only complaint I would have is that housekeeping knocked on my door in the morning, asked if I needed anything, I asked for new towels… but then never came back to make the bed or collect the old towels. Not that I’m a prima donna, but I had left the wet towels on the floor and fully expected them to be gone when I returned.
All in all, nice place. Good price.

Stayed here over Christmas. Really nice wheelchair accessible room. Nice, helpful staff. They even helped me make my waffles in the free breakfast area. The only negative was that I had to ask for a bench for the shower. But they did provide one when I requested it.

We travel to WI each month to visit a family member in a nursing home about 12 miles away, and need a hotel room for one or two nights. Because of the cost of travel (200 miles/​4 hrs each way) I’m always looking for the best value. Because our visit is sometimes stressful we prefer a hotel a notch better than adequate so we can decompress.
I’d signed up for LaQuinta’s Returns program, and got an email with an unbeatable offer – a $ 129 room for $ 79. Since that first stay, this particular LaQuinta is our *very* favorite place! The price varies as it’s not always part of their montly specials, but when it fits the budget, we’re here.
The rooms are luxurious and quiet, the beds are very comfortable, and the breakfast is great (better M-​F than Sa-​Su as they have scrambled eggs and sausage). Wi-​Fi is fast.
There’s a huge pool and a very nice exercise area with video games and activities for kids.
Chil’s is attached to the building (show room key for discount), Texas Roadhouse is right next door (ask the LaQuinta desk clerk for a 10% discount coupon), and Boston’s Gourmet Pizza is just a block east.
All in all, this is our favorite place in the Appleton/​Neenah area (Wingate is second).
Note that there is another LaQuinta property just to the west of this; it’s an older property but clean and quiet, 2 stars vs this property’s 3 stars. Both sites were previously owned by other chains and purchased by LaQuinta.
