I had a mixed experience at La Quinta Inn And Suites By Wyndham at Watiki Waterpark. The cleanliness and friendly staff were definite highlights, but I found the noise level and breakfast options rather disappointing. Overall, while it offers family-friendly features, it's not the ideal stay for adults seeking peace and quiet. 🏨🌊

Rooms

5.0

The room was clean, but it had an odd odor and was next to the elevator, which was quite noisy. The shower showed some rust, and the furniture wasn't well-maintained. My family struggled with the uncomfortable beds throughout our stay.

Service

6.0

While the front desk staff were friendly, overall service was inconsistent. There were delays in addressing maintenance issues, and I felt the breakfast staff could've replenished items more quickly during busy hours.

Location

7.0

The hotel is conveniently located near attractions, which was a plus. However, being attached to the indoor water park made it feel more like a family-focused place rather than a relaxing getaway.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was quite basic and did not meet my expectations. The grab-and-go options were unappealing compared to a full buffet experience. I also found the dining schedule restrictive, with limited hours.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities are decent but noisy, making it hard to fully enjoy the amenities. I would have preferred better maintenance and extended access to leisure areas beyond the limited evening hours.

My stay at La Quinta Inn and Suites was mostly positive, thanks to the comfortable accommodations and friendly staff, though I did encounter a few hiccups during my visit. The indoor water park added fun to our trip, but I was a bit surprised by the mandatory resort fee. While the room was clean, I did have some noise disturbances from other guests, which affected my overall experience.

Rooms

5.0

My room was spacious and clean, allowing for a pleasant family stay. However, I noticed that the walls didn't block much sound, which led to disturbances at night.

Service

8.0

The staff were extremely helpful and attentive throughout my stay. I appreciated their quick responses to my inquiries, which made my experience more comfortable.

Location

9.0

The hotel is conveniently located just off the interstate and close to various attractions, making it easy to explore the area, including popular spots like Mt. Rushmore.

Dining

6.0

The complimentary breakfast offered a fair variety of options each morning, though I found the selection repetitive after a few days. The on-site restaurant provided decent meals as well.

Facilities

6.0

The overall facilities were well-maintained, with a clean dog area that I appreciated. However, the noise from the water park and hallways was a bit distracting.

5.8/10

I recently stayed at La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham at Watiki Waterpark, and I had mixed feelings. While the location is excellent and convenient, especially for the water park, I found the pricing for access to be quite steep. Additionally, the parking situation was quite tight, leading to some frustration during my stay. On a positive note, my room was clean, and I enjoyed the comfortable beds throughout my visit. Overall, it was a decent stay but left room for improvement. 😊

I had a mixed experience at La Quinta Inn And Suites. The renovations made the hotel look lovely, and I appreciated the comfortable beds and friendly front desk staff. However, the breakfast chaos was overwhelming due to the water park, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. If I had kids, I might have loved the family atmosphere, but as an adult, I found it a bit too chaotic. Overall, it’s a nice option for families.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were spacious and clean upon arrival, though noise insulation was lacking, making it hard to relax at times.

Service

7.0

The staff at the front desk were excellent—helpful and friendly. I did notice, however, that housekeeping could be more attentive to detail.

Location

6.0

The hotel’s proximity to the water park is great for families, but the busy area made it feel crowded and noisy overall.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast options were plentiful, but the breakfast area was often a mess, leading me to seek meals elsewhere after a couple of tries.

Facilities

6.0

The indoor water park was a major attraction during my stay, although the tight parking situation was a challenge.

7.4/10

My stay at La Quinta Inn and Suites was a mix of highs and lows. The indoor water park was a big plus for my family, keeping the kids entertained, but the breakfast situation was disappointing. I expected a hearty buffet, but instead, it was just a grab-and-go bag with limited options. The room itself was spacious, but it had multiple issues like a loud AC unit and cleaning troubles that made it less comfortable overall.

Rooms

5.0

The room was spacious, but it had a strong smell and the AC unit constantly tripped its breaker, making it hard to sleep comfortably. Additionally, I was disappointed by the cleanliness level; I had to deal with old tub issues and a shower that barely worked.

Service

5.0

I found the staff to be friendly, but my requests for cleaning and maintenance were often slow to be addressed. The laundry facilities were also an issue, as one unit had a lingering moldy smell that wasn't resolved promptly, even after multiple notifications.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location near the indoor water park was great for families, and it was easy to access local attractions, but the environment felt chaotic at times, especially with sports teams staying there.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was not what I expected; instead of a nice spread, we received minimal options like a granola bar and an orange in a bag. The lack of variety was disappointing, particularly for hungry kids.

Facilities

6.0

The water park is clearly a highlight for families, and the arcade provided extra fun. However, the overall maintenance of the facilities, including cleanliness, could use improvement. The outside of the building was messy and not appealing.
