La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh/Durham Southpoint

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Raleigh/Durham Southpoint

2/10 Terrible
"This hotel is bait and switch. They tell you through Expedia that they will reimburse you up to 24 hours of your stay and when you walk in, they have a sign on the counter saying they do not reimburse for third-party reservations and that means Expedia. The reason why they have this signage is because they know that when people check in, they will want to check out immediately. This is not a good hotel. The room smelled like smoke and everything seemed to be falling apart."
