La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Stillwater-University Area

Felt like home to a weary traveler and her dog

I'm not someone who enjoys traveling; I don't like being away from home and its amenities. But when I arrived at the hotel, I was able to check in seamlessly and my dog (who had been on the road with me for 10 hours) was able to help himself to the bowl of treats the hotel keeps at the front desk. It's normally difficult to travel with a dog, but the hotel has a lot of grassy area surrounding it and multiple keycard entrances and exits to make this as easy as possible. My favorite part of the stay though was the staff. They all really seem to work together like family and genuinely want their guests to feel at ease. I had the opportunity to have little conversations with the staff throughout my stay and I was highly impressed with the welcoming nature of everyone. Plus, there is a pool, the hotel is located close to the interstate, restaurants, campus, and sits next-door to Walmart in case you need anything. My room had a refrigerator and microwave, and breakfast is made (it's real food) every morning. I'm not a coffee drinker but I also saw that a variety of coffees and teas are available in the lobby throughout the day. My room was clean with comfortable linens and well-stocked with towels.

I had a wonderful stay, for my needs, so it's hard to pick at downsides to the hotel. In my opinion, there isn't much else the hotel could have provided to make my stay more comfortable... outside of softer toilet paper. There was a notice in the lobby apologizing for a mess due to renovations, but I didn't notice any noise or mess during my stay (which included both weekdays and weekend days).
