La Quinta Inn & Suites El Paso East

Clean rooms, with that odd former Baymont configuration of having the lavatory on one side of the entry way and the bathroom on the other (never have figured out why they did that).

My room was clean room (w/no odor), had decent amenities (desk, internet access, tv, iron/.

The good things were: $35/night rate through Booked.net, complimentary water provided in room, close to freeway, gas, food and shopping.

Ceiling fan helped A/C out in keeping the room cool during a hot summer day.

The first night the video game didn't work when we ordered it on the TV.

Walking distance (same parking lot to Fudruckers, Applebees and a Mexican restaurant.

The free breakfast is pretty much continental.

Good breakfast in the morning, though selection seemed a bit more limited than other La Quintas, and serving space was small-ish.

Good shape, well-maintained, helpful staff.

It is clean and the staff is pretty good.

Found a flyer in the lobby for Goodfellow's pizza.

Pool a little strong on the chlorine, but I figured all the pee germs were covered!

Overall as expected, but most of the common areas (stairs/elevator/hallways) smelled!
