La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Grand Junction

I struggled between a low 5 and a high 4 rating. This is a very nice hotel and our second or third stay here, but it fell a bit short in just a couple of ways. The good - first. Good room lighting. The best recliner reading chair in any hotel room - ever. Good quality towels and linens. Spacious room. Nice shower. Decent, if not overwhelming, breakfast. Good bed reading lights. Good sound deadening between rooms. Rooms on back side of hotel (away from I-70) have no interstate noise. Not so good (and these are - admittedly - rather picky in some cases.) Mpost importantly are the really crummy pillows. We both remarked on them. They were lumpy and clumpy and seemed, well, old. Less importantly, the bed in our room (305) is getting a bit past its 'use by' date - just a little soft and uneven. We slept pretty well - could have been better. While the breakfast offerings were typical chain hotel (but hot and abundant) it would have been nice to extend it until at least 9:30, particularly on weekends (rather than cutting it off RIGHT at nine)_. Finally, the lowest toilet in the world with a loose seat. Just to make it clear, we travel to GJ regularly and have stayed in a number of different hotels. This is definitely our choice and we definitely will be back, albeit with our own pillows from home.

Everything was good here. Good location, nice room, and excellent staff. I had to be in bed early and up early, so I was a little sensitive to the noise next door. If the couple next door hadn't been so active night and day, it would have been a perfect stay. Lucky for me they started activity around 5AM, too.

This hotel was wonderful. We were on a road trip and had just come from a luxury hotel stay in CA and were just crashing here for the night, but it was just as nice and had a way better breakfast than the ridiculously expensive hotel we had just stayed at the night prior. HIGHLY recommend.

The one pro this hotel had and the reason we stayed was the actual room looked and smelled clean. We were only booked for 2 days, thankfully. After check in, we went down to the pool. The entire outside area smelled like dog urine. The concrete around the pool had cracks, the pool itself was darkened on the sides with growth of some kind. The hot tub was broken. Could not even stand to be out there because the stench was that awful. And we love animals. Later, we had to walk the hall on 1st floor, and again, the smell of animal urine permeated the air. We were so glad our room wasn't located on the ground floor. We were happy to leave when the time came. Both of us agreed 2 days was all we could do.

When we checked in Friday night the guy checking us in was not very friendly or seemed to want to even be there. After we got to our room and kicked back we got a knock at our door. Another couple was told they had the same room as us. Then in the morning, an employee knocked saying the room we were in was marked unusable. So not a great start to our stay. The breakfast was great, was a good location, and the girl working the second night was much more helpful.
