I stayed at La Quinta recently for a week for business and think the stay was okay.
PROS: Beautiful lobby, staff were friendly, breakfast options okay, plenty of parking, and the area allowed for walking around, as well as restaraunt options. Convenient to jump on the freeway to Houston. Laundry facility good. Room was large. A/C worked.
AREAS TO IMPROVE: The luggage carts were obviously dated because the wheels were wobbly and made it tough to push when loaded. Though I have seriously clean habits, I had to deal with a lone roach in the bathroom. Made me feel ick. Perhaps have a pest company spray around. Something I've noticed when staying in La Quinta's, the walls are very thin, so I heard the tv, children, and dog next door. I suggest bringing a white noise machine, that did help.
Overall, great stay, I'd stay again.
