Visa Gift Card for La Quinta Hotel Reservations?

Q. Okay, I am trying to book a room for La Quinta in Panama City. Sept, of course, it requires a credit card. I notice how I can use a visa card, except I do not have one. However, I have used a Visa Gift Card to purchase things online. I was wondering if this could be done reserving a room? Thanks!

A. Sure, I don't see why not, but I would call the 800 number to make the reservation so you can explain to whoever what you're doing, online might be difficult.

Is a housekeeping job at La Quinta hard work?
Q. I'm thinking about applying for a housekeeping position at La Quinta just to make a little extra cash (not to pay bills, just xtra) is it hard work? How much is the pay an hour? Has anyone ever worked as a housekeeper at a hotel can share their experience? Thank you!

A. I've been a housekeeper in a hotel. It's very physical changing sheets, making beds, vacuuming, cleaning sinks, tubs and toilets. Some rooms are trashed and that makes it hard. You have to keep up a pace to get all of the rooms done. I didn't like it when I had to clean an occupied room and the guest just sits and stares. Very uncomfortable. The day does go by pretty fast though. Good exercise. I guess I wouldn't call it really hard. There are much worse jobs. I've been a nursing assistant in a nursing home and that's really hard work.

How many entrances do these 2 hotels have?
Q. I am a military member who is visiting the jacksonville area. I am very cautious and like to know all the exits and entrances wherever I stay at just in case. I am deciding between either the La Quinta Inn Baymeadows, FL or the Red Roof Inn Southpoint, FL. How many entrances do these hotels have, are they ever watched. Where can I find floor plans for these hotels?

A. Try their web address. You will see a floor plan in each room and in the lobby. These are motels rather than hotels. Different layout.

Does Texas law require hotels to post room rates inside the hotel rooms?

Q. Someone told me that Florida requires the hotels there to do it by law. I'm wondering if Texas hotels have to do it too. A. Yes, they all do it. It is the law. It is posted on the back of every door of every room. The rates posted are not usually what they charge, however. They might post the rate for a room to be $250 a night when they actually only charge $60. If you're planning on coming to the Dallas area any time soon, you should go ahead and make reservations. The NFL Super Bowl Game will be in Cowboy Stadium in Arlington on Feb. 13, and hotels are already booking up for that. Every hotel room within a hundred miles of here will be booked solid with rates as high as $400 per night (3 to 4 nights stay required) even at the cheap small hotels. The larger better hotels will be two to three times that rate. In anticipation of that, hotels rates are being raised steadily every week, so that by the time Feb. 13 gets here, they can charge outrageous rates. It will...

what should I do about a travel agency that didn't book a hotel?

Q. About a month ago I called a travel agency to book hotel and airline tickets. I received a confirmation for the airline but not the hotel. After I called her the travel agent said she would take care of it we do have reservations. I've been calling her for over a week and she is not returning my calls. I called the hotel and they are all booked with no reservations under my name. What rights do I have.? What is my next step? A. Did they charge your credit card for both or just the airfare? If they airfare part is ok, either cancel the whole thing and dispute the credit card charge, or keep the airfare part and book the rest yourself. Obviously if that hotel is booked you need to find another one ASAP, probably on your own... then go to the BBB website and file a complaint there. Main thing is to get your trip booked. Travel companies are known for being idiots so do what you have to do. But really there's no reason to use travel agencies anymore. dboy What is the best sit...
