"Very nice! Clean room! Spotless and well maintained. The whole Hotel is very well maintained and clean. Bathrooms are spotless and were always equipped with fresh clean towels and washcloths. Clean pool area. The breakfast was very good. I like the way they did their eggs differently. The coffee was outstanding! The machine grinds the coffee beans before brewing and delivering the perfect cup of coffee! The staff were very kind and informative. Very concerned about our stay. Parking lot was clean and well lit. Nice location. You won't be disappointed!"

"We have stayed at this hotel several times. We always get exceptional service. On this particular stay, we had some noisy upstairs neighbors and after speaking with the front desk, they were able to relocate us without hesitation. My husband (the only one that went down to breakfast on the first morning) didn’t like the selections for the breakfast. No meat sausage patties, watery scrambled eggs and breakfast sandwiches with parts of the egg that were refrigerator cold, no toast. A few better selections could make a world of difference for their breakfast. One elevator was down most of the days and the other took a long time. All in all we had a good trip and stay here."

"The La Quinta in Lincoln CA was in the perfect location for us. It was clean and very comfortable. The Fitness equipment was in good shape, the pool and hot tub were perfect and we loved sitting out on the patio in the morning. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The first night we could not get the TV to turn on and we called the Front Desk, and someone was up to our room in seconds. When we figured out it was the batteries in the remote they had some at the Front Desk and gave them to us and instructed us not to throw then old ones in the trash can. They covered all of the bases. The only low spots were the eggs were cold one morning, which cannot always be controlled, and hot water for tea was not very hot usually. But we just heated it in the microwave. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was the cleanest we have come across lately. Absolutely the best experience we have had in years. Thank you and all of your staff."
