Reviewers love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the value for money. Many mention the easy access to major roads and venues, and that it's a peaceful spot to unwind after a show. The hot tub and free breakfast also get frequent shoutouts.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor feels a bit dated, and while the location is convenient, it’s a drive rather than a walk to most concert venues. But for the price and comfort, most find it a fair trade.

Liked: Everything
Disliked: The Sunday morning desk clerk.The gentleman told me that I could get the room cheaper going through La Quinta.I found the same room sixty-seven dollars cheaper than what I was charged. From now on I guess I will have to book through a third party, since La Quinta staff lies about rates.
