If you need to be in this area and this price range, options are limited. I wouldn't even waste time looking at the Best Western down the road. I've never been there nor heard anything about it but the staff at the La Quinta are above the rest and I'm sure there is no comparison. Basic clean rooms, convenient location, quiet, and most of all GREAT service. Greeted by name, provided with extra towels, coffee and creamer without any issue or problems, given directions and suggestions of where to go. What more could you want?

We recently stayed at the LQ Cityplace and loved the convenient location to downtown activities, restaurants, bars and businesses. Although only there one day, we were pleased to enjoy speaking with each employee -- the security guard that patrolled the lot at night, the maintenance man sweeping up early in the morning, 2 desk clerks (check-in and during the stay) and the manager, Kristie. Each encounter left us smiling...it's refreshing to be able to say that about ALL employees at ANY business these days! From the reassuring wave from the security guard twice during the night (we were visiting a greyhound adoption event, and had two-in-tow that had to go!) to the maintenance man early the next morning who greeted us with a perky "Good Morning!" made us feel we had made the right choice with this LQ property. We originally arrived a little early and the desk clerk joyfully took our cell phone number, directed us to a nearby park (dogs..remember?) and gave us a call as soon as the room was ready. Making waffles in the morning, I bypassed the instructions, and the on-duty desk clerk came out and helped solve the problem of the beeping waffle iron, as I'm sure she has been doing for years, but she still made conversation and showed me exactly how it all worked! The room was very clean (it's an older LQ property...I think I even stayed at the same location over 20 years ago), and the remodeled room was perfect. We stayed in a 2 room, 3-double bed corner room...which would be great for a family, or several business associates traveling together...as each room had its own TV, dresser, alarm clock, etc. Like with all La Quinta properties, this one had a great work desk, free internet and wonderful waffles & muffins in the morning! Being located right on the Central Expressway, traffic noises were heard 24-hours a day...but we found leaving the A/C or fan running blocked all, but the loudest noises. While mentioning the A/C...you should be warned...it gets COLD fast (no complaints here...we were visiting Dallas in July and loved every chilled minute we stayed in the room!) There are many, many, many restaurants a short walk or drive from the motel -- even some great little pubs right around the corner. Since we were traveling with dogs, we appreciated the nice, clean dog-walking lawn...it was park-like! With the complimentary "waste disposal" bags right there...it was nice and clean...and "land-mine" free! We have stayed with the dogs at other LQ properties, where the grass was not watered, and it was nasty...definitely NOT the case here. Like I mentioned, it was park-like (and well maintained.) There is a nice big swimming pool that we can't wait to try out on the next visit. Being an older property, we expected a not-so-wonderful experience...but, it was so nice, that we are already planning return visits to this La Quinta real soon!

I recently stayed at the hotel as I had a one night layover before heading back to Atlanta. I asked if the hotel had a shuttle to and from the airport and the concierge said yes prior to me booking. Since I was literally just staying at the hotel for the use of a bed and shower with a quick layover, price and comfort was important.. I arrived into Dallas, TX at around 11:20pm to find out that the hotel stopped shuttle service at 11pm and to pay a $24 cab ride to go 2 miles to the hotel. To make matters worse, when I checked in, I found out that the shuttle to the airport only runs once every hour at the top of the hour. Well since my flight was at 8:55am I had to catch the 7am shuttle along with miss the free continental breakfast which started at 7am - What kind of service is this for an airport hotel when there are tons of hotels to choose from? Unhappy guest...

This place was great. From the day we got there reception staff were very friendly and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. The rooms are spacious, clean and the best thing was, coming on a cold night, our rooms were already pre-heated! The rooms have great heating for the chilli nights we had, it even got HOT! Only thing i can kind-of complain about, the cleaners pretty much break down the door as of 9am to clean the room, so remember to place the 'do not disturb' sign if you dont want early morning interruptions. Other than that, great place, great location (if you have no car, everything is pretty much a $10 cab ride to either downtown or lower greenville and a comfortable 30-45 minute walk to West End Village if you wish to walk), many restaurants are less than a block away (reception can also give you discount vouchers for a number of restaurants), and a statbucks just a short stroll. You MUST try to the sushi on McKinney (i believe its called Sushi on McKinney, only 5 minute walk! Amazing.
