La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Clarita - Valencia

Great location right by the freeway, many restaurants, shopping, Sixflags, and walking trails. We were very impressed at how clean the room and hotel felt. We had just come from another and it was night and day difference. This one was exceptional! Large rooms that were very tidy and clean. Only thing that felt a little dirty was the couch which seemed like it needed to have its cushions cleaned. Very large parking lot with easy access. The pool and hot tub were also very clean and great temperature. The breakfast was pretty good. Bacon one day and Canadian bacon the next with eggs and pancakes. Also have waffle makers everyday. Juice was flavorful and toaster worked great. No real complaints. Staff was very friendly in helping us check in and they did have a packnplay for babies.

Nice and comfortable hotel right off the 5 that is pup friendly for a very reasonable fee! We needed a room in a pinch during a long drive and happy we landed on this LQ. Room was clean and comfortable, property well maintained with LOTS of nice grassy areas for dogs. Convenient to lots of food options.

The location was convenient and the room itself was clean, which I appreciated after a long drive. That said, the pet fee situation was frustrating. La Quinta advertises a reasonable $35 pet fee with a $75 maximum, but I was charged the higher amount with no explanation. I stayed one night with one exceptionally well-behaved, non-shedding dog. If the policy is to charge the maximum regardless of stay length or pet, that should be made clear up front. Check-in was also not great. The woman who checked me in was curt and didn’t explain where my room was located, breakfast details, or anything else useful. I was not warned about my key card demagnetizing if it got too close to my phone — which somehow is still a thing — and was then locked out and had to walk back to the desk with my hands

Positive: "" Negative: The woman at check in was not personable. The food at breakfast was not replenished, all of the hot food was gone by 8AM.

4.5 stars. Extremely clean, stayed for three nights. It's an excellent remodel of a mid age hotel. Everything smelled fresh and clean, even after the third day. One of the few hotels I've been comfortable barefoot in the room. No sticky residue on tile floors. The soaps felt high end, rinsed clean without residue or drying. Did not care for the breakfast, see below under food section. They appear to have a generous pet policy, from what we saw, the pet owners were respectful and had their animals well controlled. Did not use the pool and hot tub, however checked it out and was sparkling clean and warm pool.
