This La Quinta is on the outskirts of town and along a street with multiple hotels. There is an excellent Mexican Restaurant immediately next door. The hotel is large and there appeared to be only one elevator serving both guests and hotel staff, which meant a couple of awkward moments when the elevator was occupied by hotel staff going about their duties, resulting in having to wait for them to disembark and for the elevator to return. In the morning, hotel staff were cleaning on the first floor and didn't seem to make much effort to move their large baskets and carts out of the way for guests exiting with suitcases (such as myself) to maneuver easily around them. The complimentary breakfast was average, though seating seemed quite limited given the overall size of the hotel and potential number of guests wanting to use the space.
