I have stayed at several la quinta inn's in sc/va and this was the first time i had a bad experience. the entire 4th floor of the hotel had no air conditioner (and in the middle of July this is a must). They could not or would not move us to another room and we were told early that the hotel was booked and they would give us a reduced rate. the shower curtain had mold. the electrical socket was not screwed into the wall and just moved. the pool was GREEN!! Most of the staff was not very pleasant, however, there was a couple of nice staff members. I was moved to a new room the next morning and was given a reduced price but not sure if it was worth the trouble.
