The Chateau at Lake La Quinta

Comfort in an excellent location. Pool area well maintained.

Great view of lake. Location very central, walking distance to retail. Eventually got internet sitting by the front desk using their password.

No internet accessible in room 204. Felt a bit like a motel as we were in the annexe. TV didn't work due to no internet connection. Breakfast pretty basic, boiled eggs tasted rubbery, frozen then thawed? Resort fee charged but not sure for what amenities. Car parking? Chateau associations a bit contrived,

The location/setting is beautiful. There were lots of patio tables overlooking the water, and patio furniture at the lower level near the water. Our room was very nice and our balcony also overlooked the water. Truly a unique setting in the desert.

There were lots of little things that added up. The restaurant is nothing special. Breakfast was the same every day. Hours were supposed to be 7:30 - 9:30 am, we got there at 7:30 because we had to leave for golf at 8, but the staff starts bringing out stuff at 7:30, and was still bringing out items at 7:45. Dining room floor was dusty and lots of crumbs the first day we were there for breakfast. To-go cups were out but no stirrers for the coffee. Toast was out but jelly didn't come out until 10 minutes later. Hard boiled eggs came out, and later salt and pepper. When guests finished eating on the patio, their dirty dishes stayed on the table, no one came out to bus them. Chair cushions on our private patio chairs were super thin and tiny, too small for the chair and not comfortable. (downstairs patios have very nice chairs with super thick cushions). We wanted to go in the pool, but the water was murky, so we didn't. Had dinner 1 night, charcuterie board and calamari. Calamari was good but served warm, not hot. Charcuterie was weird, not an assortment of sliced salami's and cheeses. Salami was diced, there were a few slices of proscuitto, some dried apricots, walnut halves and another nut that was just small chopped pieces, 2 soft spreadable cheeses that I think were the same. No slices of hard cheese. Largest item on the board was a bowl of mustard. Just felt there was not much attention to detail at this hotel.

Location

The staff except for the manager were exceptional
