Slumming at the La Quinta Hotel in Redding CA
At the La Quinta Hotel in Redding CA, the front desk staff and breakfast serving staff were magnificent, given the horrible circumstances. How they can operate at all in the grotesquely understaffed environment of the slum that is this disgusting excuse for a hotel is beyond me. It took a change of three rooms to find one that was relatively clean, didn't have urine on the bathroom floor, and a working air conditioner, although the unit we had was literally coming apart, exposing wiring and the interior of the unit. Water stains on the ceiling, old raggedy stained carpeting, the grinding noise of neighboring a/c units all night long, one poor overworked employee desperately trying to keep breakfast items (as sorry and deficient as they were) stocked, broken juice dispensers - just some of the delights of staying in this decaying, decrepit, filthy almost un-staffed hovel! Apparently, most of the staff had just resigned after a new owner cancelled all their benefits.
