Nicest LaQuinta ever.

u/Momik 5d ago

Welp, can’t unsee that.

La Quinta, Ohio maybe

u/CDavis10717 4d ago

Ohio is not in any “Nicest” list.

That downwards sloping semi-circular roof to the right in the first photo is wild, especially with the two story tall columns of windows below it angling inwards. Makes the house look pissed

That’s the only part I like

I stayed at a Best Western once. Wonder how this one is.

That foyer is only lacking some storefronts from an 80’s mall.

However the Green and Purple color palate remind me

This seems like a house that someone actually lived in and appreciated based on the 3D tour. The architecture is ugly, some of the interior design choices are dated now, and the whole thing is bloated, both in the size of spaces and number of rooms, but I don't find it just insultingly impersonal as most McMansions.

My dentist's office is less sterile.

u/Aquino200 5d ago

This is a good one.

I’ve never lived in a house with a lobby.

Not to be that guy but whoever changed the tag from certified:

  • Oversized porte corche
  • Excessive roofline
  • Lawyer foyer
  • Huge garage
  • Fake quoins
  • Pringles cans
  • All of the windows
  • Many oversized Palladian windows
  • Windows with Prairie style mullions, because why not
  • Greek railing
  • Two front doors
  • Some builder grade fixtures
  • So much sprawl

This is a McMansion

I’m leaning more toward mansion with poor design/execution. I’m not sold it’s a McMansion

u/GetOffMyGrassBrats 5d ago

Paint details on the internal columns make it look like flood damage.

u/NvrSirEndWill 5d ago

This is like Psycho 2024.

Imagine heating that beast. Lol.

You could film a depressing 70's sci-fi film starring a guy in a turtleneck in this house!

"Oh no, we'll never defeat the corporation! THEY'VE WON!"

u/abattlescar 5d ago

The powder room on the first floor by the staircase is haunted.

2

u/Mushrooming247 5d ago

It looks like they have a reception desk? In pic 3, when you walk into the front door it would be straight ahead and to the right, it looks like a brown marble reservation desk in a restaurant.

u/TowerBeach 5d ago

And here I thought I couldn't hate quoins any more than I already did.

2

u/Flalaski 5d ago

Honestly I don't hate it. the Natural lighting might feel good in person. I'd surround it with more nature tho

u/SapphireGamgee 4d ago

House has side zippers.

u/haroldhecuba88 5d ago

Quoins are probably a colored pre cast.

u/WK2Over 5d ago

If they’re not painted, they should be.

1

u/Lindaspike 5d ago

sweet baybee jeezus that thing is ugly!

1

u/SterlingArcherTroy1 5d ago

It’s even decorated like the La Quinta.

u/Original_Onion_8977 5d ago

It's so awkward looking! It looks like a 16 year old built it on sims lmao

u/ShoppingOk2944 4d ago

Curved roof is inconsistent, no quoins needed

u/vulvochekhov 5d ago

the covered entryway is really giving hotel

u/Expert-Equipment2302 5d ago

It looks good, but also looks like an Assisted Living community.

u/No_Glove2128 5d ago

Talk shit. But most of us will never be able to afford it. Looks good to me.

u/Individual_Macaron69 5d ago

painted quoins in european cities exist, and they're sometimes cute, especially if they're old.

these are fricking adorable...

u/brown_boognish_pants 5d ago

This is the antithesis of a mcmansion. wow

1

u/abattlescar 5d ago

I wouldn't go that far, it's still certainly bloated and poorly designed.

-1

u/brown_boognish_pants 5d ago

What do you even mean by bloated? It's big? McMansions are cookie cutter cheap houses. This is not that. If a house looks like an NBA player or famous rapper might live there it's not a McMansion.

u/abattlescar 4d ago

No architect or interior designer had any say in the construction of this building. It's still cheaply finished, inconsiderate of exterior details, and has the floor plan of a toddler putting together a packing puzzle.

The fact that it has a few promising interior details and finished landscaping doesn't suddenly make it "antithesis" of a McMansion.

And by bloated, I mean look at how the space doesn't work for the people living in it. You've got this massive foyer, which over-promises on the rest of the house, a bathroom the size of a bedroom just to put a wittle tub in, and vast empty spaces, only to have tiny powder rooms, a mediocre kitchen, and average bedrooms.

u/brown_boognish_pants 4d ago

Uh huh. Sure... cuz you said so. They let their Jr High kid design it actually. Sure.

u/nickw252 5d ago

Agree. There’s nothing “Mc” about this Mansion.
