Everything was smooth as silk. I checked in online ahead of time and it was very easy to pick up my key cards. Workers were very friendly and the breakfast was very good. It was a great stop for a quick one night stay and I will definitely plan on using this hotel again next time Hopefully on my next visit, I will have time to visit the casino across the road.

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient

I had a wonderful stay at La Quinta! The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was polite, welcoming, and always ready to help. The location was also excellent—close to everything I needed. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Loved free laundry on site! We were there for 4 nights/5 days. Front desk staff was always very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast had great options. Our room was never touched by housekeeping. We had to set our trash outside of our room just to be picked up. Front desk even left a note for them and they did not clean when asked. Pool was small but the kids enjoyed it.

Good Value

Very nice property with spacious rooms. Our only complaint was undercooked items at breakfast. I recommend staying on the top floor to avoid foot traffic noise from above.
