I realize that the property in Jupiter Florida is in transition to becoming a La Qunita but it is JUST AWFUL. FIRST, there is no signage on the hotel indicating it's a La Quinta. We wandered around and around because we saw one paper sign on the road that we were in the right place but we couldn't find the property. It still had its old name, Wellesly Inn. THAT should be covered up.

I finally called to ask where the property was, explaining where I was. The person who answered said, "Well, we're right here." I asked where "here" was and she said down the lane. I drove around again, still with no luck. On my second call, I told her I simply couldn't see it. I mentioned that all I could find was a Wellesly Inn. She said, "Well, that's it." She never once mentioned on her own that the signage was incorrect.

The hotel is terribly run down. Our friends had to change rooms three times before they could find one that worked. The beds were old; the furniture cheap; the rooms smelled. The hallways were in disrepair. There was water on the floor lobby and in the elevator.

If this were our only experience, we would never stay at a La Quinta again. Luckily, we love the La Quinta in Macon, GA and will continue to stay there on a many trips to and from Missouri and Florida.

Very comfortable hotel and great location. Lots of pillows on a comfortable king bed. Looks to be recently renovated.

As there was a hotel shortage in the Jupiter area during Thanksgiving, we decided to give the Wellesley Inn a try. After reading all the negative reports about dirty, smelly rooms and rude hotel staff, we clenched our teeth and braced ourselves for the worst hotel experience - ever!!!
During check-in, the staff was friendly. The Manager was a riot with a great sense of humor....necessary judging by a group of loud speaking and demanding guests gathered in the Lobby - [who might have had a better Thanksgiving had they checked "the attitude" in the parking lot].
It appears that after a pre-registration viewing of the hotel, these guests maintained that their whole Thanksgiving Holiday stood to be ruined because the Elevator and some parts of the hotel hallways were "full of dust". The Manager explained the dust was from renovation work. These guests didn't like the explanation and, before storming out of the Lobby, threatened to make a bad report about the "filthy conditions" of the hotel on this Site.

Meanwhile, in spite of all the drama, we checked in. Our room was fine....clean and spacious with two TV's, a refrigerator and a microwave. The complimentary breakfast was equal to or even better than most chain hotels. I would have liked to have had larger coffee cups and stronger coffee on the Breakfast Buffet - but that is the only thing I can criticize.
So....I would say "stay at this Hotel and enjoy the lovely town of Jupiter"

We booked our room online and arrived at the hotel one hour before the hotels check in time. There was a mattress and frame on the wall across from the elevator. This is not the first thing I like to see. The elevator seemed to be on its last leg;making loud noises as it ascended. As soon as we walked out of the elevator the smell hit us. It reeked of cigarettes. I looked and there were no smoking signs on the room doors toward our room so I assumed it may have been a smoking area at one time. We walked into our room to find the smell was not any better and the floor around the bed was soaking wet. If you jumped on the carpet, water actually splashed. As we walked back to the elevator, we noticed an ashtray full of cigarette butts to the right on the elevator. Down the other hall were smoking rooms. Smoking and non smoking on the same floor! We walked to the front desk and cancelled our stay. The attendant made no attempt to place us in another room (not that I would). She simply checked us out; no apology.
We were out $90+ because we cancelled upon the arrival time. How was I supposed to know the condition of the hotel, four hours prior to arrival to make the cancellation!
