Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

No light in part of the bathroom. Fan in bathroom could not turn off .Pool looked dirty. The daytime guy at the front desk seemed too stiff- programed and not concerned with helping solve a problem. The restaurant was closed because the chef was sick. There is no desk or table in the room. The shower and view were great,

My husband and I made reservation in January for a balcony room, 4 nights in May 2023 to celebrate a Birthday. We secured the reservation on my Credit Card $218.90 and received a confirmation number.. On April 3, 2023, I received an email my reservation was canceled due to an error in processing my Credit Card. I called the the Château at Lake La Quinta. Asking why I had been canceled after my reservation was confirmed. I was told that someone had come in and rented all the rooms, and my reservation was canceled and it wasn’t because of my credit card. I was very upset. I feel this is a terrible policy.

Very horrible front desk service. Went to get towels at the front desk and waited at least 15 minutes before anybody showed up to the front. In comes the front desk guy with a name tag of Ruben who reeked or Marijuana with eyes squinting like he had just come in from smoking. Then had to wait another 15 minutes at least before my towels were brung to me. I will never go to that hotel again.

It is 11:56 pm, we are trying to fall asleep but cannot due to the loud music being played on the patio outside our room. There is no one out there, but the music is blasting. I called the front desk and noone answers. I am about to get dressed and try to find someone to do something. The room is horrible. The lighting is so dim in the bathroom I went to my car to do my makeup. There is no table or desk in the room to do any work. My husband had a Zoom meeting and had to bring the table from the patio to be able to set up his computer. I told the front desk we needed to have the room cleaned at 1:00 pm due to the mentioned meeting. When my husband left at 1:00 pm he left the tag on the door for the room to be cleaned. When we returned at 6:00 pm the room had not been touched. This place is an ersatz dump. I cannot believe we are paying $500 a night for this.

Very welcoming and a great view on the lake. We received a nice gift from management in reference to the nature of our trip that was very thoughtful. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was very nice with good water pressure. Restaurant was reasonably priced with good breakfast

We came out for the PGA West golf tournament and concerts. Found this hidden gem on Expedia and it exceeded our expectations. Close to golf course, stores and Main Street. Free parking. Keuring, water, welcome card in a large and beautiful room. Big patio and super comfy bed. Staff was so friendly. They have a restaurant and we had breakfast/dinner on Saturday and brunch on Sunday. We were blown away by Mélange! Everything we ate and drank was incredible. We were very impressed by how well staffed the hotel/restaurant was and the superb service. We will definitely be back!!!

We have stayed at this hotel twice, primarily because its within walking distance to my in-law's home. We really wanted it to work, but it's so so bad. The first stay we checked in our toilet was clogged. They worked on the toilet for 1.5 hours making a huge mess. When they were unable to fix it, they checked us in to another room. Why they didn't change our room in the first place remains a mystery. The second stay it took us 45 minutes to check into the hotel, despite having only one guest in front of us. When we complained about the wait, the manager, Carla, began by asking us if she could "help us find another hotel" instead of apologizing for the wait. Carla and the front desk clerk thought 45 minutes was an acceptable amount of time, made excuses, and didn't apologize. We checked out the next morning and found a much better hotel for the same price. When we told the GM we were checking out early due to problems, he didn't inquire about it. Apparently, he is used to guests checking out early. Also, the rooms are extremely dirty with stains everywhere. I would avoid this hotel like the plague!

the views, food and service were great. I was sorry there weren't any sidewalks to walk around the lake but the hotel and ambience were great. I would return when the weather is cooler so I could sit outside.

We scheduled a two night trip lake side to celebrate a special occasion. Booked the room directly from Bianca, telling her what our needs were and that we would be traveling with our dog. She gave us advise, and we made reservations. I received a welcome email the morning of our trip telling us how they were looking forward to our visit, with a confirmation number. After days of planning, shopping, making arrangements for house care etc… we packed our car, our dog and hit the road. So excited to sit by a lake for a couple nights and celebrate. Traveling from San Diego we get a phone call, someone named Paul. I excitedly tell him we are on our way. At that point he informs me that they have no room for us…..I was in total disbelief. He is explaining to me that they will put us at executive suites for the night. We weren’t going to La Quinta for an occasion, we were going to experience their destination and relax by a lake….. he said he could comp us per Pam, a room but not for another month when they were less busy….we took the next exit and headed back home. Never, ever have I experienced this. My assumption is that there was a musical festival and someone took cash to give away our room. To add insult to injury, no one returned emails, no care or concern that they treated us this way and had no intention of making up for it……..f

Should've believed the reviews. This hotel room was shockingly dirty: surfaces everywhere were sticky and covered in hair. The bureau had some kind of green, chunky substance all over it; couldn't tell if it was from food or a human body. The carpets and drapes had stains all over them. I pulled back the sheets and saw that they were full of holes. As everyone else has mentioned, the beds and pillows are noticeably old and used. If you mention anything to staff and ask for housekeeping, you'll be ignored. When you check in, they give you a letter that blames COVID and says they only do housekeeping periodically (???).
