La Quinta Inn & Suites Lebanon

Ask for an upgrade if you call in your reservation. Front desk was very accommodating and gave us a larger room.
This location:
a) A little outdated. Bathrooms had gunk, and some human hair. Guilty!
b) Clean and quiet with very large rooms and doors in the suite
c) Dog friendly. Poop bags by a decent size grassy area
d) Close to the highway but with a tricky entrance. Look for the «La Quinta Entrance» sign in between multiple driveways. Resist punching your significant other for ignoring your request to slow down and find aforementioned sign.
e) All of the above
The answer is still e) All of the above. And I have been watching too many Netflix Docu-​series.

The staff is very friendly. We had a small dog and it was pet friendly and excellent for us. Breakfast had lots of choices and housekeeping showed a lot of care for us. La Quinta seemed to be very clean and very modern and nice. I wish I could give 6 stars so this review counts for 6.

Have never been treated more poorly at any hotel in my life. I stay over 100 nights a year in hotels, and worked at a hotel for 3 years. My room key didn’t work and I went to get it reprogrammed. He sends me back up to the room, doesn’t work. I insist that there is something wrong with the lock, and he insists that it was either the key or somehow user error (?!?). He sends me back to the room FOUR TIMES before he concedes that something may be wrong. He looks at my room and realizes he’s been SENDING ME TO AN OCCUPIED ROOM at 2 am when I could have walked in on someone sleeping. Instead of apologizing, he belittled me and acted like it was somehow not his fault.
He then sends me to the room with my name on it (what a concept), and it’s a single bed. My reservation clearly says double. I go back down furious because he’s wasted 40 minutes of valuable sleep. He continues to act arrogant and above reproach. the hotel is out of double rooms and he acts like he’s doing me a favor by comping me a second room.
Im in bed and I’m so mad at how I’ve been treated that I can’t sleep. So I wrote this lovely review. Please don’t stay here.

Staff were great. Top marks, there. But the rooms are all very close to the interstate, the ice machines are the noisiest I’ve ever come across, there are dips in the hallway floor and the breakfast is of the lowest quality you can find anywhere. If all that is still worth over $ 100 to you, then be there guest. But me, never again.

I stay almost exclusively at Marriott properties. There was something going on in Nashville so it was next to impossible to find a Marriott at a decent rate, so I pushed out to Lebanon. Please understand that this is NOT a 4 star hotel… it is a budget hotel that does budget VERY well. It is recently remodeled so everything was clean. My first room smelled like smoke so the immediately moved me to another room. Service was great. If I wasn’t a Marriott guy, I would stay here again.

One of the nicer LQ’s we have been to. There were a ton of dogs here including 2 that were barking in the room next to us. Surprisingly we could barely hear them when we got in the room and shut the door. Room was clean and a lot larger than were used to. Front desk people were friendly. The breakfast was ok.

Mostly remodeled but cracked paint and not as clean as I would’ve liked. There was hair in the tub and the toilet was dirty. The room was very large and modern.
Pet Friendly

Hotel was relatively clean but room was worn down. The room I booked was not the room I was given and they could not switch me to a different room. The other guests were a little «iffy», using horrible language in common areas, including lobby within earshot of staff. The pool was literally GREEN! The spa had been drained and sat empty, covered in green and black slime/​mold. Even the walls of the pool room were green. I would not allow my son to swim once we saw the pool. I guess you get what you pay for!

We stayed here as we were driving back from Louisiana to the east. We picked it as we pulled off I-​40 about 8 – 9 pm. I had done a little research on the area before we hit the road and knew there was a variety of motels at this exit.
Since there are a bunch of motels here and finding the entrance and the motel after exiting was a little difficult. The lobby was bright and friendly — and generic to the La Quinta brand. We got a room for around $ 99/​night which had 2 double beds. Everything was clean and modern from the flat screen TV to the décor. The motel is smoke-​free and is pet –friendly. We didn’t have our dog with us, but we did see several other guests bring in their dogs.
Continental breakfast was pretty average.
Overall a good place to stay while traveling on I-​40. It’s not far out of Nashville and might be a good alternative for staying closer to the city and not paying the high dollar city prices.

It’s in a great location outside of Nashville. Quite honestly, location is most important in my book. The service was very nice. We got to our room and had some issues with the A/​C unit. They asked no further questions and placed us in a room of equal size. Great service, great location, and fair pricing for what you get. The breakfast was nice too, but no scrambled eggs. Always a favorite in my book.

Although it opened up recently, my wife and I had a good overall experience. Clean, comfortable, and uneventful, which is something that I look for in a hotel.
