We stayed in Lake Mary because it's on the way to Blue Spring State Park (though the park is still a bit further, in Orange City). Lake Mary is a nice alternative to Orlando. Overall, this hotel is a good value for the price. I've stayed there twice. It's located in the North Pointe Business park, so it feels like you're getting lost before you find it. This area is not pedestrian or bicycle friendly and there are no sidewalks. Breakfast was good. Items included waffles, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, cereal, toast and muffins and the usual beverages. A strip mall, the Lake Mary Center, is across the street. A local ale house is there. It's not visible from the street. It looked popular, but we didn't go in. This hotel has some highway noise. I suggest getting an odd number room (the side away from the highway) and a room on a lower floor. Though higher floors are usually desirable, in this case the landscape could help buffer the noise a bit. The staff is professional and helpful.

I needed a place that was close to Winter Park, FL to look for apartments for my son who will be going to Full Sail University and this was perfect. It was 12 miles from the college but not so close that we had to deal with college kids or spring breakers down going to Disney. I was a little apprehensive about the animals and thought about taking an upper floor where there are none but we didn't have an issue at all. I think I heard one dog bark when we left our room for dinner but that was all. The carpets looked new and our room, while not elaborate was very clean and tastefully decorated. The thermostat that I usually fight with in hotels was easy to adjust and kept a constant temperature. I slept great! If you want a four course breakfast go somewhere else, but I enjoy a light breakfast and they had plenty of fruit, cereal, Belgian waffles (if you like something hot), yogurt, boiled eggs and such. There was someone constantly passing through the lobby cleaning the tables and putting out fresh food. Definitely worth the price we paid for the room!!

We were concerned about traveling with our 9-yr old Maltese. La Quinta seemed to be our best option although we'd never stayed in one. The Lake Mary location is in a beautiful and quiet area away from traffic. The room was clean and comfortable; the staff was very cordial; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Being a pet-friendly motel, we had concerns about cleanliness and noise. Those concerns vanished immediately. In addition, La Quinta's room rates are very attractive to this retired couple. We heartily endorse La Quinta whether you travel with pets or not.

We were visiting our grand-daughter who is a student ar Rollins College. We searched for a motel nearer Winter Park but the rates were all $100+. We were able to stay here two nights for what would have been the price of one even though we were further away. We were presently surprised by the location - close to I4 but in a quiet neighborhood. The room was nice size and clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. Staff was friendly. The breakfast could have had a little more variety such as an additional hot item with the waffles and cereal. Would definitely stay at this hotel again.

This was a nice quiet location hidden in the trees but it was difficult to find. He signs are small and it's down a tree lined road. It has a nicely appointed lobby with clean rooms and nice crisp sheets. The hotel does seem to be well used and may need some touch ups on paint etc in the near future. Overall, it was a handy to shopping, restaurants and fairly close to the airport. I would definitely stay there again now that I know where it is located.
