La Quinta Inn & Suites Meridian

Descent hotel for $ 64.00 a night. Carpet needs to be updated and there was a musty smell in the rooms. Air freshener took care of it. Beds were comfy, easy access to the highway. Although near the highway it as pretty quiet. The breakfast are was really nice. Food as good, plenty of it, and the staff as really friendly. Good hotel at a good price!

We stayed here on our way home after Christmas. The LaQuinta is always our first look because we travel with our dogs so often and they don’t charge a pet fee. A lot of times you know it’s a pet friendly hotel when you walk in because of the smell, not so with this one. The room was clean and very comfortable. I have no complaints other than my shower wasn’t as hot as I would have liked. We didn’t get breakfast so I have no comments on that. It was a Sunday morning and very crowded. We wanted to get on the road so we skipped it. Overall, a good place for a night on the road with the dogs.

This place is okay as compared to some of the dumps around the area. But expect less than what you probably assume a La Quinta will look like. Also, book online… it’s cheaper than what we were quoted via phone.

Customer Service was superb. We are staying here 9-​27-​2015. The rooms are large, fridge, microwave, pet friendly at no additional cost, military discount, pool, and gym. The gentle who checked us in was amaizing, prior military service and very friendly. The only downfall is that while we were here my husband and I had to tip toe around our room do to an older couple sleeping downstairs. We had only showered and our baby was/​is asleep.

Don’t stay here. I expected more from LaQuinta but this was on par with a substandard hotel. The tub was filthy as well as the hallway and front area. Doggy trash was overflowing and doggy poop was everywhere. Areas of disrepair and shoddy maintenance.

We frequent LaQ since they’re one of the only pet friendly hostels across the board. Our dog is always with us and we appreciate how welcoming they are. However, THIS location is probably one of the worst I’ve stayed in.
It’s quite apparent this location was another brand previously– and it is in need of major renovations. When we arrived we got our key and went to our room– which REEKED of cigarette smoke. We booked online and requested a nonsmoking room so right off the bat I was disappointed. After getting settled I tried to turn on the AC– only to find our unit wouldn’t even turn on. We go to the desk and they quickly move us to the room immediately next door. Thankfully there is no lingering cigarette smell but the bathroom was a step up from a highway rest area. The tv time was set an hour ahead so the program listing wasn’t correct; wifi spotty; and the room had two lamps that didn’t work properly (one had a jammed outlet from someone breaking a charger prong into it.)
I’m highly disappointed in this location and expect more from a hotel. I will NOT stay in the location again.

Two stars for the two and a half star hotel in Meridian. I’m not sure if it gets any better than this in a 10 mile radius.
Free Wifi (but it’s inconsistent): My husband and I shared a room. I was able to connect, and he was not.
Free Breakfast: Don’t have hopes for any protein
Smells like cigarette smoke.

We have stayed at a number of La Quintas in the past, but I will read the reviews more carefully next time. We stayed here going to and coming from Asheville NC. The first time the front desk staff was awful, although we got the room we’d requested. This hotel needs an update in a BIG way. The halls feel claustrophobic, the rooms are dark and the bathroom was unspeakable.
The return trip the staff was more pleasant, but there was an incredible smell in the hallway our room was in. When we returned from dinner there was a note under our door that the water would be turned off from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm the next morning and they hoped that wouldn’t be an inconvenience!!!
We won’t be back!

We got a non-​smoking room and enjoyed our stay. Couple things to note:
— Free WiFi; very easy to get on (hate the hotels where you have to jump through hoops and click small buttons to log on)
— Desk in our room had four outlets and two USB charging ports convenient located; night stands had two outlets
— All rooms are pet friendly, and if you have a pet, you should definitely stay here
— Bathrooms are a bit dated… toilet in our room was toddler sized… you have been warned
— TV was great!
— Breakfast isn’t gigantic, but it’s acceptable (waffle iron, cereal, yogurt, coffee, juice, eggs, a few more items)
BIGGEST COMPLAINT
This would probably be a 4 or 5 star review except for this: Bee at the front desk said they had queen beds, but they don’t have any. They have extended full. Quality Inn and Best Western at the same exit have full for less money on the night we stayed. When we told the person at the front desk in the morning, she was very defensive and had low customer service skills.
I wouldn’t mind staying here again. Just know to avoid the staff.

My husband and I stayed for one night and had no issues. Check-​in was quick, they offer a military discount, and the clerk was very nice. Our room was clean, smelled great, and the bed was wonderful! Very comfortable and plush. The bathrooms could use updating, as could the hallways, they are very narrow with low ceilings. Overall it was a nice experience and well worth the $ 67.we would come back.

Way’minute…
Way’minute…
Oh no no no!!! I know for a fact that I reviewed this hotel already yet somehow through the process of (what I’m referring to as being) osmosis, my review has dissipated.
I don’t mind composing it again—
In either event, I/​we located this subpar excuse for a hotel on
yet being pushed for time and coming from Southern California, we neglected to review let alone prioritize the guest (s) reviews.
EPIC FAIL!!!
Pulled up to the hotel to begin the process of July 4^th check in and were nothing short of overwhelmed by the inundation of unaccompanied children that were scampering around screaming at the top of their lungs. Not «the tea» when you’re on vacation, already exhausted from traveling and all in all, looking to obtain some shut eye for the times being.
Stepped out of the rental only to be greeted by a cumulus cloud of cannabis smoke… I bull sh-​t you not, the ENTIRE lobby area wreaked of pot!
My partner just so happened to look over and notice a female with a lighter going «to town» from the kitchen area of the entrance’s foyer. «They really allow this?», we asked ourselves.
In either event, our «check in» became a hasty «check out», as this same smoked out chick from the kitchen area trotted around the corner, her destination — the front desk. Her mission was complete as she put on her name tag and in her best Southern accent responded, «Well-​kum tew’ Luh Quintuh’, …y’all chekkin’ in?»
Uhm… Sorry, but WE DE-​CLINE…
For those of you reading while unfamiliar of the area yet possessing higher expectations, there’s a Holiday Inn Express directly across the street. While the rates are a bit steeper, the facility is completely updated, their name is absolutely credible and the cost is competitive; all of which are 100% pivotal when your primary concern is peace of mind—

La Quinta is going downhill with what used to be affordable quality rooms with decent service. On my recent trip to Canada (yes a road trip), stayed at three La Quintas in that trip. Each stay was a disappointment regrettably. The Meridian hotel reeked of cigarette smoke, the carpets were not clean, the bathroom in the room was nasty. The lady at the front desk did her best to accommodate our non-​smoking preference. It is an older property that has not been kept up to what used to be high standards with La Quinta. Attention to detail was missing by their housekeeping and maintenance. The «updating» of the furnishings in the last few years is cheap and unattractive. We got up around 6 and got out of there.

A day spent traveling backwards on the next phase of our lives needs a pleasant conclusion. Fortunately our day ended at the La Quinta in Meridian, MS. The quality of La Quintas varies from place to place. The Meridian La Quinta is one of the nicest I’ve seen with indoor access, comfortable, updated features and even more than enough electrical outlets for business travelers and their electronic gadgets. The morning breakfast was standard free fare, including waffles, hard boiled eggs, yogurt and cereal. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and the pet area was large, grassy and complete with poop bags. What more can one ask for?

Check in was quick and courteous. The hotel is very dated with low ceilings and dark colored floors. The rooms have comfortable bed and the rooms have been updated. The reason for the two stars was the bathroom. It liked like it had been ignored for two decades or more. It was gross. A hotel can be older, but the need to update every decade or so.

Bad service. Short tempered woman behind the desk. Specifically asked for a non smoking room in the early after noon when the reservation was made and was told that they had given it away an hour prior to my check in at approximately 9 pm. Room smelled like rank ass and cigarettes. Avoid like the plague.

My fiancé moved to this hotel after staying at the Days Inn not too far from here. This place is great. The room is nice, non-​smoking, and doesn’t smell like cigarettes. It has a big comfortable king size bed with fluffy pillows and quality bed linens. This hotel is very clean and updated. They offer free breakfast in the mornings and it is very good. They also allow pets, which is always a plus.
We are now La Quinta fans and will try to find one every where we go. They have a rewards type program too, I believe you receive a free night after you stay so many nights. It’s very good for someone who is always traveling.
