I make the drive between Missouri and Texas often, and choose LaQuinta hotels because they allow my German Shepherd with no issues. This was my first stay at this particular location. First of all check-in was super easy, and everything- the lobby, hallway carpet, stairway carpet, etc looked brand new. All of the external and stairwell doors worked properly - no loud slamming. The room itself was immaculate (a suite) - everything was, or appeared to be newly remodeled and upgraded, including the bathroom, which was also spotless. As always, the bed was super comfy, and my only complaint- and this is only due to my late arrival - the room was warm and took quite a while to cool off. I'm sure I could rectify this in the future by calling when I'm about an hour out and requesting the AC be switched on. This is hands down the best LaQuinta I've stayed at, and will stay here again the next time I make that drive.
