4 reviews for La Quinta
I only stay here for three reasons...
~ Best place to store bikes. When we go mountain biking around the Tahoe area, it's hard to find a decent place where we can park and unload equipment next to the room. Besides, it would look a little funny and awkward walking through a hotel casino with mountain bikes.
~ Hot and fresh waffles in the morning. Every La Quinta provides buttermilk batter for guests to make their own waffles during breakfast. The smell of fresh waffles can quickly wake me up.
~ BBQ Rib Cook-off convenience. Every Labor Day weekend, there is an air-conditioned shuttle service available for Rib Cook-off guests. Wooster High School, which is located yards away from LQ, is a pick-up/drop-off site for the millions of people attending this annual event. I just leave my vehicle at the LQ parking lot and walk on over, ready to grub on award-winning ribs.
And now for the deductions....
The rooms aren't all that.....they "look" older than other LQs I've been to, but adequate. Perfect for people who don't sleep or sleep little when they're in Reno.
No complaints with housekeeping. But one of the front desk hosts (Jessica?) should take a course in professionalism, hospitality, or basic common sense. She should never talk sh%t about guests in front of other guests; and when breakfast time is near closing, she shouldn't be rude to people who are still in the dining room area.
Renovations and front desk staff training would facilitate another visit to this LQ.

What can I say, a pretty standard motel. The room was mostly clean, but the carpet had some questionable areas, and the bedding was old-fashioned, crappy motel foam pillows and scratchy comforter, but appeared clean--enough :-) Hated the bathroom, but it was super clean, just small and the shower head was falling off the wall. Also, there was some kind of massive construction going on, starting at 7 am, which included a guy using some kind of sparking instrument on the metal staircase, which scared the you-know-what out of me. For his sake as much as mine. Beer bottles littered the exterior halls, but the place was quiet, from a fellow guest perspective, and nothing to shady seemed to be going down, oh, and the place was ridiculously cheap w AAA discount.
Staying here again? Highly unlikely, but you never know.
We'd been there in Dec-08 and it was clean, no complaints with housekeeping. There's complimentary breakfast but the place gets crowded and better to be early there by 7AM.
some times good some times not. ya takes your chances.
