I’m spending the night in this LaQuinta in Montgomery, AL. It’s an older building that is undergoing renovations at this time (according to signage on the property).
It’s pretty evident that the property was allowed to degrade pretty far before renovations were begun, but the room I was given has been redone and is in fair shape. The room has a microwave, coffee maker, hairdryer, clock radio, and tv. When I arrived last night I was told the internet and phones were down.
I jokingly asked if that meant a discount on the room rate and the unsmiling clerk typed something in his computer and quoted me a rate for this room that was $20 less than his original room quote. I accepted his offer 
I was pleasantly surprised to find the internet up and although not blazing, adequate for my purposes. Since I had no need of a phone, I haven’t checked to see if it’s working as well. My cell will suffice for any calls I need to make.
The room is quite pretty with an Oriental decor that is clean and functional.
The bedding is quite extravagant as this is a double (meaning two double beds) and each bed has 3 nice, plump bed pillows on them. I’m used to being allocated two and often not plump pillows. Each bed also has a bolster pillow more for decoration than functionality, but a nice touch. The mattresses are comfortable — firm enough without being too firm, but not too soft either. As Goldilocks would say “just right!” I spent a reasonably good night’s sleep on the one chosen.
The hotel is located conveniently close to two interstate connections and has lots of restaurants close by to choose from as well as shopping. I was able to pick up a couple of items I had forgotten and have a nice dinner last night before checking in. The hotel serves a continental breakfast starting at 7:00 am which is a bit late for early risers like I am. Thank goodness for the in-room coffee maker!
