This was the second time that we have been to this hotel in the past 12 months. The hotel is located very close to Malls, SMU and the major N-S freeway.

During the time that we were there the hotel was inundated by "Ike" refugees (and their dogs) from Houston. The staff was contiually being challenged by balancing the needs of those who had no idea as to when they would be leaving and those of us on more specific plans. The staff was very courteous, the WIFI worked great and the rooms were clean.

Fine service (friendly and helpful), internet, free breakfast, rooms, pool, and hot tub. Very convenient location. But some extremely annoying frustrations. Card keys constantly stopped working. Had to get new keys 5 times in a 2 night stay. Only 1 very slow elevator for a 7 story hotel (many people give up and use stairs). Fitness center: single recumbent exercise cycle falling apart, with constant shorting out and resetting. Rooms with 2 beds are only full size (not queen), which is very cramped for two people.

I travel to Dallas occasionally on business, but usually stay at more expensive properties. However, I was only in town for one night this time and needed a quick in-out, centrally located hotel.
In my opinion, this LaQuinta is a great value. Yes, you get what you pay for---the bed could have been a little more firm and there could have been a few more pillows. But what really made the difference for me was attitude. You should expect the front desk to be friendly and accommodating, but everyone from the breakfast attendant to housekeeping (!) went out of their way to be friendly and hospitable. If you stay anywhere at all in any property, you will realize how rare and valuable that is these days.
Bottom line: good location, great service. I'm coming back and recommending it to friends.

Stayed at La Quinta because I had to be in Dallas to plan for a wedding. The service was above average--the individuals at the desk were helpful. My fiance arrived late into Dallas and was not able to pick up his rental car. The person at the desk helped me get the numbers to local car rental places and we were able to take the local complimentary van a few times to take care of errands near by. Each time the driver was pleasant and understanding of our situation. The continental breakfast was good and we would stay here again.
