The Good

  • Amenities
  • Locations
  • Positive feedback
La Quinta Inn & Suites advertises its promise to provide free high quality amenities for all guests in general but business travelers in particular to "relax, recharge and enjoy". These free amenities include:
  • free Bright Side Breakfast®
  • free high-speed Internet
  • exclusive Bright Morning Bed® with a pillowtop mattress.
The hotel's business centers have flat-panel HDTVs and spacious, bright in-room work areas with ergonomic "task" chairs. Swimming pools are said to be available at most locations. There is also an on-site gym or complimentary passes to a local gym. Most La Quinta Inns are conveniently located near restaurants and shopping malls. Room types and setting vary by hotel. Company-owned hotels are standardized. Franchised hotels vary more. Each guest room has a:
  • television
  • iron
  • hair dryer
  • coffee maker
Positive feedback from guests typically revolves around the free breakfast options and the pillowtop beds:
  • Breakfast offers both cold and hot options. The first morning fresh fruit salad was provided but only bananas and apples were on the buffet the other two mornings.
  • Hot options varied from day to day with make your own waffles, instant oatmeal, toast, scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes remaining a constant. Cold options included yogurt, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, breakfast pastries.
  • Breakfast buffet staff were very attentive and refilled things constantly. Hot sauce is provided.
  • The Beauty Rest pillow top mattress is so comfy...sheets are soft, and the pillows are great. One guest commented on it at checkout and the staff gave her a card with the information about the mattress, and purchased one for her home.

The Bad

  • Authenticity
  • Consistency
  • Complaints
La Quinta may have some authenticity issues regarding its Spanish/South Western themed décor that makes it unique. Unfortunately, the southern roots of the architecture have been watered down by its franchising of older hotel chains like the former Budgetel Inn. Speaking of the franchised hotels, they lack consistency in amenities, so guests can have totally opposite experiences at two different hotels in the same area.  The company-owned hotels have standardized accommodations, but which ones do and don't will be something guests have to find out after they get to the hotel and check in (i.e. when it's too late). Standard complaints:
  • usually no on-site dining on the premises (outside of the free breakfast)
  • Towels provided on the first day of stay were good, but the next two days the towels provided had definitely seen a lot of wear, were both rough and greyish rather than white.
  • The toiletries were okay but guests recommend bringing your own if you like a bit of luxury.
  • No ketchup provided with breakfast. Have to bring your own.
  • Rooms facing the street are loud throughout the night and early morning.

The Bottom Line

If you're going for the Spanish theme, you may be disappointed. The building may also lack updating on the outside. Once inside, guests are typically impressed with the accommodations. Amenities vary from one hotel to the next depending on if it is a company-owned hotel or if it a franchise. Franchises function a bit more independently and may not be up to the La Quinta brand standards. Prices are reasonable-especially when getting hotel discounts through a third party or membership benefits, but people generally wouldn't say it is worth paying regular price. Major highlights include the full service hot and cold breakfast and the trademarked pillow top mattresses and pillows in the guest rooms. Guests also will appreciate the hotel being pet-friendly and having free internet access. Non-smokers will love the 100% smoke-free premises but smokers will not share the same sentiment.

With all the hotels I've stayed in over the years, I would have to say the LA Quinta Inn in Seguin Texas off Hwy 46, and I-10 has to be the nicest I've ever stayed in. The room was awesome, so very clean, crisp sheets and actually smelled good. The employees were so nice, and were eager to help with whatever was wanted or needed. The front desk clerk was so nice and got my group checked in promptly. The housekeeper manager was awesome also. I will definitely come back to this location. Kudos to you all.

My husband and I stayed at the la Quinta in Rock Hill , South Carolina during the storm, Doria, trying to get to our house in St Augustine. The date was Sept. 5th. A desk clerk , Nanette, went above and beyond with her kindness. We had a cat and we were told that the hotel was only dog friendly. She made sure that our reservation was honored. She used exceptional common sense. We were very grateful for making an exception concerning the pet issue. La Quinta should hire more employees such as Nanette.

I stayed at a La Quinta when moving from Montana to Nevada and it was late at night and they were very nice to me and allowed me to keep my pet in the room. It was cold outside snowing some so i really am grateful to be able to keep her in the room. I believe they charged me $10 more which i was glad to pay. The clerk was very nice and helpful too.

La Quinta Inn is certainly more upscale than the common motel out there. I have utilized their accommodations and was very pleased at the cleanliness of rooms. They have great amenities as well. Price was perfect for what we needed at the time. Excellent all around.

La Quinta Inn was a beautiful Inn. As soon as we walked in the floors were nice and shiny we could see our reflections in it. The staff was kind and wonderful they helped me and my family book a room. When we walked in the room I could smell the cleaning supplies that they used to clean the rooms. The beds were all nicely made up with an extra blanket on each bed. I would certainly go back to the La Quinta in the future.

We have stayed at LaQuinta many times over the years. Their rooms were always clean. They are very accomidating if you need to arrive late or you need extra ammenidies in the room such as more towels or pillows. Also they would make sure i could get a main floor room since i have problems with stairs. Their breakfast was clean and the food was warm and they wouldn't run out of items. Good variety of choices too.

Our family recently booked a local hotel at one of La Quinta's competitors. However, after checking in, we realized that the hotel we booked was unhealthily dirty. We didn't want to ruin our short family vacation, so we quickly checked out of that hotel and headed to a La Quinta Inn right down the street. The La Quinta Inn was spectacular! Their front desk got our family right into a comfortable and CLEAN room, their pool was amazing, the staff was friendly...Thank you for saving our vacation!

Staying in a LaQuinta was amazing. I stayed once with my dad for a soccer trip and it made me feel like I was still at home. And checking in was a breeze and the fest lady was super nice and helpful. And when we asked for more towels she did so with a smile on her face and made me feel more comfortable. Thank you for the amazing service. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

I recently stayed at the La Quinta by Wyndham in Logan Utah. The rooms were very clean and did not smell musty or smoky. The indoor pool and hot tub is very comfortable fresh and did not smell of chlorine. The staff was very nice and friendly I stayed with a large group for a tournament and the hotel is very accommodating us all together. I will definitely stay here again. Breakfast was great! Lots of fresh options.

La Quinta Inn is THE BEST hotel I have ever stayed at in my life! I came to the hotel very late at night, and they were still awake and ready to help me. When there was trouble with our rental car, La Quinta Inn's shuttle was able to get us where we needed to go! I loved staying here so much!

I love that no matter where I travel in the US, I can always find a La Quinta for a good night's sleep! I use them them a lot when I'm traveling solo for hiking and backpacking trips. The lower rates make them a good place to base out of on the front and back ends of the trip.

Our family has stayed at the La Quinta Inn from Missouri to Texas. Each and every time, we were astounded by the level of customer service provided. Upon one stay, we arrived late at night and needed transport early the next morning. The hotel staff was eager and willing to provide us with free transportation to and from our destinations.

Our family always tries to stay at a La Quinta when traveling. The beds are comfortable, the breakfasts are nice hot breakfasts and the employees are always friendly. The La Quinta in Meridian Idaho is one of the best. It’s is also great to earn points and earn free nights.

We stayed at a La Quinta in LA by the airport. It was clean and super cute. I only have an issue with the fact that I got charged money for having a dog in my room when they said no dogs allowed. We did not have a dog in the room.
