La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ocean City

I’d say the only good thing about this hotel is the location. Upon arrival it didn’t seem bad, staff was really friendly check-in was easy. Halls were a bit messy, could use a good vacuum. I didn’t let that bother me much because I know it’s a busy place and front desk advised us they were short staff, I completely understood. Room looked decent upon entering, curtains could use a good cleaning as well as the floors. Blankets weren’t dirty but they were old and dated. Overall it seemed decent for the price we paid. AC worked perfectly fine, it’s eco friendly so if your balcony door is open then the AC turns off there is a sensor on the door; as long as the door was closed it stayed nice and cool. The hotel is pet friendly which was no big deal but nobody cleaned up after the pets, there was dog urine In front of the elevator all day and night and was still there in the morning (pet owners responsibility to clean after their pets, hotel staff shouldn’t have let it sit so long). I was enjoying my time there with no real big issues until the next morning I wake up, walk to the bathroom and turn the light on saw a bug dart across the floor and when I went to kill it realized it was a cockroach. Completely threw me off and ruined my vacation; emptied all my suitcases and bags, cleaned them all very well, shook all my items out and repacked and took them right to my car. Pool area was pretty filthy as well. I will never stay at a La Quinta hotel again this one completely ruined it for me. They seriously need to shut down; remodel and do a really nice deep clean and get a really good exterminator. I left a day earlier than planned I was uncomfortable and couldn't take another night in this place.

I have a 3 for the room just because of a “partial ocean view” (see photo below). My fault…I thought it would be a bit more than what we seen. You are best off getting a cheaper room instead of paying more for a partial view. I would rate it a 5 if you have pets. For what we paid…$300, I did expect more.

We felt extremely safe at the hotel and the beach was right across the street. However, they do not have a lock on the rear door where guests park. I would recommend they install a pad where you need to use your key card to enter.

The staff were friendly and the breakfast was great!

Clean beach. We seen a man fishing at night off the beach and got 3 sting rays. Several people had fires on the beach. Beautiful!

They allow pets in all rooms. I have allergies and asked if they set aside rooms that do not allow pets. They do not have that option if that is important to you.

Located just North of the end of OC boardwalk. The management and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean. Not much of a view of the Ocean as it's nestled behind a another big name resort hotel. I can tell it's a little older building and can use a touch of updating/refreshing. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
