Review of La Quinta 2*

I'm a government employee who's company paid a pretty penny for my family and our dogs to stay at this establishment for a few weeks before our home was ready for us to move in. We've always stayed in LQ Hotels everywhere the Military and Govt. Job has sent us and always enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately this location in Moreno Valley has a few issues. First and foremost, I have had to personally tell the front desk staff numerous times that there was a homeless woman attempting to get into the cars in the back parking lot and that there are people trying to get into the back of the hotel without room keys. The first time our room was cleaned we came back to our door being left open after been gone for a few hours, luckily none of our items were taken and our dogs were still in the room. There isn't anywhere for dogs to utilize the restroom. There aren't even doggy bags or a specific place to dispose of your dog's waste. The parking lot is always full and most of the cars are other local business's over flow or people from the area who are hanging out with their friends in the parking lot. As a paying hotel guest I would suggest parking passes or something like that to ensure there is adequate parking for patrons. I spoke to the staff who informed me there are 59 spaces and 59 rooms. My family came with two cars as many families do, this is a huge issue and we were told to park two stores over which I didn't feel comfortable doing but had no other option. My family has been approached numerous times in our stay here by people peddling for money in the back parking lot which has made my family feel very uncomfortable and even contemplate staying at a different establishment. The staff has been very friendly and the breakfast has been nice but unfortunately we won't be staying at this location again or allowing our family from out of town to do so either due to all of these issues.
