The La Quinta off LBJ Freeway is set far enough back from the road that most rooms are quite quiet. The room was spacious with a decent table and very comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent considering the overall room rate and included yogurts and fruit as well as the more normal budget motel fare. The pool was compact but clean (and open). The surrounding area is OK if not particularly welcoming to pedestrians. My only complaint was that the wireless Internet wouldn't allow me to connect.
Tip: To get to central Dallas, drive 3 miles East on LBJ Freeway to the LBJ/Skillman DART rail stop (blue line). A $4 ticket will then allow unlimited travel on most parts of the system, and it's much easier than parking in central Dallas. If you want to see more of the city, you can take Bus line 60 from the DART station to the centre: it stops right outside Fair Park.
