La Quinta Inn & Suites Plattsburgh

The hotel location is perfect just off the highway; it’s an easy on/​off for travelers coming or going to Canada. It is an hour drive to Montréal so leaving early in the morning affords you a full day of sightseeing in the city. There are a number of good restaurants in close proximity to La Quinta as well as shopping and of course a Walmart for last minute items you may need before crossing the border. If you do leave early you can catch a quick continental breakfast in La Quinta café.

Very reasonably priced, convenient location, clean, pleasant staff, and very pet friendly. The breakfast area is a bit small — the food is good and plentiful. This was my second stay here, first time traveling with my senior cat, and I would definitely stay here again. One caveat — make sure to ask for a non-​smoking room. My room was on the third floor and was fine, but I could definitely smell residual cigarette smoke in the lobby and elevator. More of a trace than a pervasive odor, but it was definitely there — I think it’s an older property and it’s tough to completely get the smell out. Having said that, my room was VERY clean and I couldn’t smell cigarette smoke at all on the 3^rd floor where I was located.

The sink was gurgling loudly throughout the night and woke my boyfriend and I up multiple times.

I’m a Hilton snob, but I survived my stay at La Quinta! I don’t even mean that in a bad way.
This was a nice place in a convenient location in regards to the SUNY school and downtown dining (at least I *think* it’s considered their downtown… lots of bars and restaurants). Also near chain restaurants.
The sofa bed was shockingly comfortable. That was bizarre to me. I can’t believe I slept so well on it.
Loved the sink being located outside of the bathroom. Very large counter. Frig and microwave.
Great hotel for the price. Thrilled with how clean and good looking it was.
But breakfast… breakfast was awful. Blegh, yuck, blah. No hot food such as eggs, bacon, etc. Just cereal, fruit, toast, bagels, hard boiled eggs. All of which were fresh and good… just…boring.

Booked the hotel while I was in town visiting my son in college. I asked for a non smoking room. It was very obvious that people had been smoking in the room. There were cigarettes burns on the bath tub ledge.
I asked for a new room but they had none.
I have COPD and have been sick with Bronchitis since my visit. Very disappointed in this hotel.

Typical of a La Quinta Inn experience for me; comfortable and reliable. Not fancy, but not a dive by any means.
PROS:
Right off the highway (the ramps are basically across the street)
Fast food, restaurants (local and chain), gas and shopping centers aplenty (including a 24 hour McDonald’s down the road). Agree that if it’s nice weather, you could easily walk to some of these establishments.
ROOM: easy to adjust temperature, clean, lots of towels, good shower flow, comfortable bed & pillows. Wifi actually worked pretty well (sometimes at hotels it’s worse than dial-​up). A room down the hall (about 5 or 6 rooms away) had their door open while they drank beer, talked and watched TV when I walked by. But since I couldn’t hear them once in my room, I didn’t feel the need to make a complaint. I see on here that someone had a fridge and a microwave, but I didn’t. So call ahead if that’s an important feature to you.
HOTEL: Easy check-​in, indoor pool, lots of parking. Seemed pretty safe. On a busy main road. Pet friendly.
CONS:
Nothing really important that I would consider a dealbreaker or worth a warning. Lobby reeked of cigarette smoke when I checked in, but the smell was gone by the next day. A couple TV stations didn’t come in for some reason. But there were lots of other channels to choose from (including Showtime), so it wasn’t worth complaining to the front desk about. Plus I was able to hook up my personal DVD player to watch my own movies anyway :)
I would definitely stay here again.

I have la Quinta rewards card, read the reviews and they were not flattering for this hotel, read other hotel reviews and everything seemed equal, a couple nights in a below average motel, so I figured I would get the points, I checked in, and discovered to my surprise this hotel was totally remodeled in May 2013, the 2^nd floor room was above my expectations, staff was friendly and polite, I would absolutely stay here again if needed, unfortunately headed back to Texas, just stay here and you won’t be disappointed

Stayed here for one night. Everything was nice and clean in the room. The hotel overall is pretty accessible with ample parking. The rooms were large and the HVAC system worked perfectly. In the morning we had a quick breakfast — variety of standard continental breakfast items.
Overall — a pretty enjoyable stay.

Rooms are good, though I found spots of blood on the comforter. Bed though is quite comfortable, could sleep all morning. Free wi-​fi is awesome, and continental breakfast is always a plus. HUGE disappointment with the spa/​pool. You want to get out of the cold and into a hot spa and warm pool, not here! Luke warm spa and cold water in the pool.

One of the best places to stay in Plattsburgh. Beds are so comfortable, it’s like sleeping on clouds.

We stayed here this past weekend while visiting SUNY Plattsburgh. Only a mile or so from the school and right off I-​87. When nice it’s within walking distance to many stores and restaurants.
Their rates were the best in the area and that was the selling point for me. The beds were comfortable, even the sofa bed, and our room came equipped with a microwave and a refrigerator for taking unfinished meals back to the room and snacking later.
And last, but certainly not least, the hotel staff was EXTREMELY friendly and helpful offering us restaurant advice and taking the time to write out the directions to recommended locations, (our Tom Tom was taking a mental vacation). I’ve already made reservations again for August when we drop junior off at school.
The only reason I’m not giving this place 5 stars was for the icy condition of the parking lot, which I almost fell on a couple of times. The maintenance crew should work on the parking lot to make it safer.
