text: At La Quinta no matter where it is located I have always had a consistently good experience The rooms are nothing special but they usually check off our major needs list when we are on a road tripnnDoes it have a clean bed ChecknDoes it have a hot shower ChecknIs it affordable ChecknIs it going to be located in the citytown we are stopping in ChecknCan they accomodate last minute reservations ChecknDo they allow slightly overweight gasy lazy flatfaced wrinkly guests ChecknnSo I got myself a rewards card and now no matter where we travel we stay here Honestly I was pretty bummed we had to stay here on our trip through Vegas though We had our dog with us so it severly limited the places we could stay in and afford on our trip By the way that slightly overweight gasy lazy flatfaced wrinkly guest I was speaking of earlier was my English Bulldog not my husband I just want to clarify so I do not get in trouble later I was surprised to find that there were a few hotels on the strip that did allow dogs I have never seen them on the strip or in any hotelcasino so I just assumed they were not But I was shocked to see that it is considered an upgrade to stay in a dogfriendly room and therefore the price practically doubled per night nnBut no fear the La Quinta saved the day They even offered a free shuttle that takes you to Harrahs on the strip so you do not have to keep taking a cab back and forth It will also pick you up from Harrahs at the end of the night if you just call and wait for it outside by the taxi call This made having to stay here all the more enjoyable and tolerable I mean who seriously wants to stay in some hohum hotel off the strip when you are in Vegas Not this girl
