We book hotels somewhat frequently and normally book the hotel next door but decided to give La Quinta a try because they have a beautiful pool outside. Right before we checked in a bad storm blew through Lubbock so we completely understand why the pool was closed that day, but as we had promised our 5 year old that we would go swimming, we decided to go ahead and also get a night at the Country Inn through Expedia like we always do. Long story short, the La Quinta employee never told us that we could go swimming next door for no charge since their pool was closed, especially since they knew that that was our reason for being there. Everything else was fine. Everyone was nice, everything was clean. It was just that bit of information that would have been nice to know.
