La Quinta Inn Reno Hotel

The room was very quiet, so sleeping was good, it was located in very good location. As the places that I had to go was easy to get to from there.

I stayed here with my volleyball team for the NCVA Far Western Qualifier Tournament.

Loves:

- Free wifi, friendly staff

Likes:

- Free breakfast, although they did have fewer options than at the Holiday Inn Express, but there was yogurt.

- Good shower water pressure

- Huge parking lot

- Close to freeway

- Clean lobby

- Quiet

Dislikes:

- Close to freeway

- The morning of the day we were checking out, some rooms had their toilets back up. That meant that some other coaches couldn't use the bathroom or take their shower. Water, not stinky, but we still assumed it wasn't the cleanest, was flowing out into the parking lot. The sewer fumes also infiltrated the lobby and breakfast area and at one point the electricity in the breakfast area went out so the juice machine, microwave, and toaster didn't work.

- This is the type of hotel/motel where the door to your room opens to the outside world instead of into a hallway. So anyone can bang on your door if they feel like it.

- Location: The neighborhood, though not unsafe, is not exactly your white-picket fence type. It's across from a high school that's not that academically-oriented so there are youths around that aren't causing any trouble but look a bit thuggy.

- Location: You'll have to get in the car to go anywhere or to eat. Granted, in Reno, everything is 5-10 minutes away.

- Pool was closed, bummer

- The sheet for my bed had a huge blue & green stain on it. I was very surprised that the cleaning staff even found this sheet acceptable to use.

I stay in the Reno La Quinta hotel every week for three or four nights. It is in a convenient location and I like the staff.

This hotel made me feel respected: They always have my room ready and they hand me my key as soon as I walk in. They drop what they are doing to send a fax for me or answer any questions I may have. They make check out just as easy as check in.

It is a clean and fairly well kept property. They serve limited breakfast and provide wireless DSL. It is centrally located and a good place to do business in Reno from.

This hotel made me feel important: I normally stay in a mini-suite but wanted a suite for one night recently. They not only made sure I had it but didn't charge me for the upgrade.
