come on
i just checked into laquinta inn in fort
stockton this is
actually uh a new la quinta inn in fort
stockton
and that's one of the reasons why i
chose to stay at this place um
last time i was in fort stockton i
stayed at best western plus
and that was a great hotel too but i
just wanted to try out a different hotel
in the area since i was here again
and um yeah i love brand new hotels and
so does kuma so decided to check it out
and so far the first impressions have
been great
um they the building looks really nice
everything looks really modern and clean
um
the floors uh and the room cumin really
like i don't know if i really like it
either i usually like wooden floors or
carpet but it's kind of like these um
ceramic cement tiles so i don't really
like that because i don't get
like a home comfortable feeling i think
there's two
laquinta ends in port stockton so this
la quinta inn is called the quinta and
then suites by windham fort stockton
northeast
so this is the new la quinta inn in fort
stockton
and it was i believe it opened in
october 2020 or sometime
in late 2020 and i am here
in january 2021 so it's only been open
for a few months
um so yeah i'm really excited to stay
here only staying here for one night
because it's a stopover
i'm doing a road trip from california to
florida with kuma
and i'm finding all the dog friendly
hotels along the way and this was one of
them
i thought there was no pet feeds for la
quinta in i think usually there is no
pet peeves
but for this one it was twenty dollars
and i believe because it's new they're
charging twenty dollars
but yeah 20 dollars still wasn't bad all
right well let me uh give you a tour of
this room
start with the beds here that's miss
kuma
enjoying the bed right now what do you
think is it nice and comfy oh you're
laying down so you must like it huh
you can sleep here tonight looks like a
feels like a comfortable bed
yeah i think i could dig this
if you look happy you must be a good
sign
yay can i get a high five okay
thank you so right by the bed is this
lovely accent orange chair
and a lamp behind it some artwork above
the beds
don't mind that looks pretty neat uh and
then
here is the middle section between the
two
queen size bed i always i try to get two
queen size beds
um every time i'm traveling with kuma
just i like to have an extra bed to lay
stuff on
and then this bed is like just for
sleeping
like i don't like anything else except
for kuma
in the middle they have four plugs uh
four usb
ports and oh hey more plugs and usb
ports on this alarm clock so
you have a total of six outlets and
six usb ports nothing under there
a phone a memo pad and a pet i haven't
seen this
in a while in hotel rooms um
some more artwork over here
i like this uh desk
slash console setup here
you know this entire area can be used
as a work desk or for you to eat at a
fairly large
tv and i guess this is a drawer to just
place some of your stuff in if you want
and then i also like this area here
where you can just lay your
luggage and lay out your suitcase
i like those instead of the luggage
racks because they're always kind of a
pain
i also wanted to note that since i'm a
wyndham rewards member i got this gift
bag
and it came with water can always use a
bottle of water
and
oh these are belvita cookie sandwich
biscuit sandwiches
i actually do like these and um what a
good choice
a plastic cup this is like really nice
um what else is in here
oh i like these too like the fruit
gummies
nice wow really well done on
get this gift bag here uh again there's
some
more outlets more usb ports
more outlets over here so yeah you don't
have to worry about outlets at this
hotel i guess this is a light here
oh yeah okay so if you switch that
you get extra lighting for your work
area
i also had a note here on the bed that
said
ready for you i've personally cleaned
and prepared this room for you from top
to bottom i hope you enjoy your stay
with this
full-length mirror in the hallway and
then across from that is the closet
so there's looks like an extra blanket
about five six hangers and
an iron and ironing board
pretty decent closet space if i put my
luggage in here and some coats
and this is the entryway and on the side
right around the corner
is a microwave a coffee machine
with uh
dark roast coffee
it looks like it's just coffee i don't
see any teas
but if you probably ask them for tea
they'll have it
i like this good sized fridge here it's
like a small medium fridge but
the freezer portion is separate here and
then
you got the bottom fridge portion so
that was nice
the bathroom is pretty spacious and i do
like their mirror here
the lighting is really nice candy really
likes those i always have to point out
what candy likes in a bathroom because
she's like
an expert when it comes to bathrooms for
whatever reason
they provide plenty of towels like three
sets of everything so
there's the hand towel you know your
washcloth and then
down here is for bath towels
there's your hair dryer and then extra
toilet paper i also like it when i do
fold these
i don't know i think it's a nice touch
when they do that when they pull it into
a triangle
for toiletries uh they have pantene
pantene shampoo conditioner and lotion
and a makeup remover always appreciate
makeup removers
and then over here another washcloth and
bar of soap um bath mat
and the shower shower looks pretty nice
oh yeah these are like brand new you can
tell it's so
white and clean oh yes
so shiny
so that was the room tour and as i
mentioned first impressions were great
i do like that it's a pet friendly hotel
um fairly low part price on the nightly
pet fees
and uh they do have a coffee
available 24 7 in the lobby that i saw
the last part of coffee mint gets at 7
pm and
there's like a dining area there but i'm
not sure if they're using it because of
the pandemic the lobby area looks really
nice
there's that pet relief area they have
like a dog fenced in dog area
it's kind of small but at least they
have it you know for them oh also want
to note that i did request to have the
highest floor
and away a room away from the elevators
because i don't want kuma to hear
any noise because when she hears noises
sometimes she barks obsessively
she's gotten better but you know she's a
guard dog so she tends to
bark with whatever noise she hears
nearby to protect me of course
um but yeah so uh that's why i request
the highest floor so there's no noise
above us and away from the elevators
so that we don't you know hear the
elevator opening up and
people walking and talking all the time
and yeah
they had a room prepared for us and that
gave me what i wanted so
i got room 405 and you know the views
are never anything but that doesn't
really matter to me i just want a quiet
room so
thank you i believe it was lewis with
his name he was very accommodating
thank you lewis for your help all right
well i think i'm gonna go explore fort
stockton a little bit
um it's a historic place where they have
a historic
fort site and then a historic downtown
and other
uh historic things to look at around
here so i wanted to check it out with
kuma i'm not sure how much i can check
out with her
but we'll see hope you liked this review
of the hotel if you did please give it a
thumbs up and if you want to watch more
