La Quinta Inn & Suites NW Tucson Marana

I called in a week ago and was informed by the desk clerk that prices were at $ 80/​night and was mis-​informed! I drive ALL the way to AZ & find out that due to a convention being in town, prices have been doubled! What a rip off! SUCH an inconvenience. I am NEVER going to book with this hotel ever again.

Well the desk was so cordial. You just can’t fake that, he was so nice. The Place is being upgraded with carpets, curtain and other replacements. There is a string of hotels here along I 10 making the competition stiff. The room was ultra clean and nice. the bed was oh so comfy and the the king seemed extra big! The TV was Huge much larger than other I have been seeing in this trip.
Meets all my needs for an over nighter.
Thanks

Very disappointed in this LaQuinta. Arrived very late from traveling and no one at the desk. Waited 10 — 15 minutes. Called the hotel number — loud ringing but no one came. Called the 800 number and they called. Finally the clerk arrived — he had been vacuuming but did not take the portable phone with him. The hotel is being renovated. Will be good for the next people but not for us. We were not told about the renovation when making the reservation. We were told by the desk clerk, «that is not how it is done.» So the photos posted on-​line were inaccurate since it did not look like that. If we were told and made the reservation — then we accepted it! We were not told! Ok — renovation of lobby — can live with it. BUT 9:00 am the hammering and drilling began and was expected to last all day. Sounded like it was in our room If you are going for a restful vacation — wait until the renovations are finished. This was New Years week and likely guests were not there for business — we were not. That said –the room was very nice and the bed comfortable. But we were not OK with hammering and drilling all day so we moved. They refunded our money — but we wasted time to pack our things and move to a new hotel — and we were tired all day when we had plans to do things.

Update — I eventually got a refund, although my mother had to contact corporate on my behalf (as she is an Elite Rewards member — I guess they really do have more pull). I would still not stay at this particular location, because I still never heard back from corporate for my own inquiry.

This La Quinta was ok but I am anxious for the remodel.
Pros: Clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff, pet-​friendly, good water pressure in showers.
Cons: Outdated and worn carpets and furnishings, no real green space for pet relief, the last day of our stay the hot water went out.
To their credit, La Quinta gave us about $ 30 off of our stay for each night we were there which made the whole hot water thing bearable.

Definitely pleased with this hotel, considering it’s location and my past experiences at other hotels in the area.
Clean, large room. AC kicked on fast and the hotel was nice and cool also. Like others reviews stated, the shower is FABULOUS! I like my water HOT and the water pressure was out of this world! on the shower!
A good selection of restaurants that deliver to the hotel, as well as a wide variety of places to eat within walking distance.
The room comes with all the amenities I could have wanted. Nice TV, fridge and microwave, coffee, work desk, couch, king size bed. Parking was so easy and plenty of room to park where you can see/​hear any possibility of issues with vehicle.
DANIEL at the front desk was a complete pleasure to work with. He advised on the best eats around, never hesitated to provide a crib for the baby, extra towels, extra shampoo. Was always a gentleman, polite and professional!
This would definitely be a place I would return on every cross country travel!
My ONLY warning, would be to stay away from the light inside the spa. My leg touched it for a brief second, and scalded a major burn (underwater) on my leg. I screamed and immediately jumped out. I did go back in after water settled to see if it was in fact the light because I could not BELIEVE how painful it was. Sure enough as soon as I put my hand on the bulb I immediately had to pull away. Do not make contact with this bulb! I literally have a visible, second degree burn/​blister on the back of my calf.
So if you stay out of the spa, this place is an A+ safe spot to stay. We traveled with two young children and our dog and it was wonderful.

Pros: clean, quite, nice furniture, huge tv, water gets hot fast, shower water pressure is very good, 6 big fluffy pillows on the bed, and the bed itself is very comfortable. Fan and air conditioner cranks.
Not so pro: sink is higher than standard. For me at 5 feet, not a good thing. LOL The shampoo was particularly cheap, and they don’t have conditioner.
Breakfast was OK.

The staff were friendly, joked with me and helped me with anything I asked them. The room was clean and the hotel is just across the street from 5 or 6 restaurants. Would stay there again.

I stayed here in May 2012 when I was driving across the country. The staff was very helpful and even gave us bottled water to combat the over 100 degree weather. They suggested a great restaurant to grab dinner at as well.
The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable, even more so than mine at home. The final bill came to $ 80 and it far exceeded the quality of the $ 150 Holiday Inn I stayed at in Texas.

On my way back to San Diego from Atlanta.
PROS:
Just upgraded.
Beds and bedding were excellent.
Our room was clean and the shower head was super.
The exterior has been upgraded with new paint and landscaping.
All young and quite personable people with decent customer service.
The location was awesome. Near Walmart and other shopping places with great places to eat.
Pool clean.
CONS:
Called down to the front desk a number of times and they let it ring ALOT. Sometimes 20 times before picking up. Not very Good.
Sink had some caulking or painting issues from the upgrades not being finished or incomplete.
Had to have a password for the free internet.
Overall, I would stay again.

This La Quinta has obviously just gone through an extensive renovation. But it was well worth it during our stay at the place. The room was quite large and clean. The free breakfast was terrific. We had our dog with us and there are lots of places in the area to walk the dog. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing that was a negative was the room’s guest guide which was clearly out of date, but that is a very minor issue. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Best La Quinta shower and actual bedding of the five we stayed in over our cross-​country journey.
They take pets, have amazing shower water pressure. It’s very clean. They happily take pets. Staff is super nice.
The downside. It is kinda loud, but that’s typical. My biggest issue is that the light from the hallway lit up the ENTIRE ROOM AT NIGHT. I didn’t notice this when I went to bed because my husband was reading, but I definitely did at 3am when I woke up. I know I could go put SOMETHING in front of the door, maybe a towel. But at 3am, conjuring up what I can put there is just too difficult. I didn’t get back to sleep and we left super early.
And this is across the board. The decline of the continental breakfast in this country is the saddest thing ever.
The wi-​fi connection was the best I’d had.

Manager was impolite. I had the feeling I was suppose to accomodate the managers needs. Rooms were noisy. Continental B-​fast is a joke. I will not ever stay at this La Quinta Inn again.

Really? Must you vacuum at 7am? The walls were thin and neighbors noisy. We just needed a place to stay for the night. The room was ok, that of a 2.5 star. The complementary breakfast was gone when I got there at 8am. Like leaving an empty candy dish in front of your door on Halloween. I can find cereal elsewhere… hmph
