I recently stayed at La Quinta in Everett and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. In the middle of the night, the air conditioning broke down, leaving us to walk up in 80-degree heat, which was extremely uncomfortable—especially since I was traveling with an elderly lady and two young children. There was very little I could do to alleviate the situation.
The pool was filthy and disgusting, so my kids couldn’t enjoy it at all. By the time we realized this, it was too late to find another hotel for the night. The breakfast offered was also quite lacking; despite paying the full rate, I was informed that protein options are only available on weekends, which was frustrating.
While I understand that some issues may be beyond management’s control, I would not recommend this hotel for families with kids. The environment felt unsafe—for example, a guest was using an electric flat top with their door wide open while hosting a loud party. The cooking smell was awful and filled the entire floor, making it very unpleasant.
Overall, this was not a comfortable or safe stay, and I will not be returning.
