I visit Las Vegas by automobile monthly for a week of business and this particular La Quinta is a welcome, comfortable and convenient 'home away from home'. There are 6 restaurants, 4 fast food venues and a multi-screen theater in the adjacent shopping mall. A Whole Foods Market is 3-minutes driving nearby and a food court visit there helps break up the monotony of regular business travel when I actually taking advantage of a suite's sofa and table. I usually avoid casino/hotel lodging and the hospitality at this particular LQ will bring you back. I have never become aware of traffic 'rumble' as the property sets back over a block from Sahara Blvd. The management and staff actually understand 'hospitality', a concept rapidly disappearing from too many chain hotels, regardless of size. Try it and you'll like it!

I wonder if I stayed at the same place as the previous reviewer. The hotel is set well back off the road in an expensive looking neighborhood. The room was quite large and well appointed, as was the tv. Everything seemed spotless. The breakfast was amazing. If this was continental, I can't imagine what a full breakfast would be like. They even had hard-boiled eggs and sausage rolls in addition to make your own waffles. Short of a full breakfast buffet, I've never seen a breakfast so good. The staff was obliging, upgrading our room when we were unhappy with what we received. Booking on the hotel's own website is important if there's a mistake. I've found this at other hotels too - they are not thrilled with you if you use a secondary site and the prices aren't necessarily cheaper. The value here is quite good too.

Just passing through one evening with dogs -- only place in Vegas that
we could find that would take dogs. Room was average size, only averagely clean. We were on side facing Sahara and traffic was VERY loud. Sirens all night and cars zooming by non-stop. TV was small and old. Staff was fine. We didn't spend anytime in lobby or elsewhere in hotel. Neighborhood seemed a little sketchy as well, but then again..
.. you're in Vegas.

We stayed here twice in September, a week apart. The 2nd occasion was booked, the 1st one we called from the road. We had just finished a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon and wanted a hotel for the night before moving to the strip. Rooms were large and clean; staff was exceptionally helpful; breakfast was above average. But the clincher for us was the well equipped laundry.

The 2nd stay was again after more backpacking and at the end of our trip. We arrived early and a room was not ready, but the staff came up with something very quickly and even followed us out into the car park to let us know. We did a show on the Strip and the drive is manageable. The trip to the airport was about 3/4 hour at rush hour so this a good alternative to the airport motels.

There are restaurants, a pharmacy and other shops within walking distance. Area is safe and its a straight run down Sahara to the Strip. Excellent value for money.
