"This is the second time we have stayed at this LaQuinta. I sought this specific location/hotel out this trip because I was impressed the first time with the overall cleanliness of the establishment. I was just as impressed with it this trip. They hold a high standard. They also have a great breakfast. Plus, I really like their cappuccino machine! They are dog friendly which is a big bonus since we always travel with ours."
