Staff was very friendly at check in. I requested a smoking room, the desk clerk said the smoking rooms were on the first floor, and the hallway was being painted. I could either take a non-smoking room on the second or third floor, or stay on the first and deal with a slight paint smell. I took the paint smell, and it wasn't bad at all. No painting noise during the night, and the windows opened in the room to vent out the paint/smoke smell anyway.
Water pressure was good, and beds were clean and comfortable. The free breakfast in the morning was fresh and tasted good. You had waffles, cereal, bread, and fruit, along with all beverages. Definately worth the time for free. Hotel is less than a 5 minute drive from the strip, and can be reached easily from the airport using the back roads.

Experience was just okay. We were in Las Vegas for the annual CES tradeshow, and needed a hotel with internet access. Their are definitely staff problems that need to be addressed before I would stay here again. There is another La Quinta on Paradise Rd that we will stay at in the future when we travel to Vegas, which is in a better part of town and looks a little newer and cleaner from the road.

Pros & Cons:

PROS
Good Price (even during peak days in Vegas)
Easy access to I-15 and close to most Casinos & Resort Hotels
Off the Strip, which is nice on busy day when traveling for business
Very Clean
Good, basic breakfast

CONS
Bad experiences with staff member's bad attitude & absence of staff (some were great, & some were horrible)
Unreliable WiFi, Wired connection not in every room.
Faulty hot tub (only one jet worked)
Not the best area (Adult bookstore and shady gas station across the street)


One notable staff experience... We parked our car in the La Quinta lot after returning one night from The Strip. We were walking quickly over to the gas station to get some soda, when a male staff member comes running out of the front office yelling at us about parking in the lot, and demands we prove that we are renting a room. We prove it to him and he mumbles something in another language and he walks back inside. This is on our second to last night and we have spent a good amount of money with La Quinta in the past. Isn't it better to not yell at your customers and take the chance of someone squating in your huge, unfilled parking lot, instead of driving them away with bad customer service and a bad attitude? No one was at the front desk multiple times we stopped by for assistance.

Overall, staying here wasn't horrible, but they do have staff & Wifi issues that need to be addressed if they want to be a contender for my money in Vegas.

NIGHTMARE MOTEL!! I had a reservation booked through laquinta.com and when I arrived this crappy motel would not honor the guaranteed rate due to some alleged mix-up between corporate and this motel. They said they were calling corporate HQ to straighten it out but after 45+ minutes of waiting and getting the run-around I asked for an update and they hung up the phone and told me it was my problem. They wanted me to pay triple my guaranteed rate. The front staff was rude and always spoke in a foreign language in front of me. God knows what they were saying! I told them they are a part of La Quinta and my reservation was good and they said they were a franchise and didn't have to honor it? Huh? WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!

I booked this hotel for one reason: I was travelling to Los Angeles with a dog, and this was one of the few conveniently located dog-friendly hotels in Vegas. I was a little wary reading some of the reviews, especially about not feeling safe int eh parking lot or the adult store across the street. But I had a good stay. The staff were exceptionally coureous and very efficient. The rooms were fine, and totally clean. The place was REALLY dog-friendly, and you could leave the dog in the room unattended. There were a lot of pets in the hotel, which was great for me. And there was no surcharge for the dog, which was also great.

Meanwhile, the hotel is a short distance from the Strip, and from I15, both of which came in handy.

I have to admit the surroundings aren't anything special. And the breakfast is not something you'd seek out.

I would recommend this hotel VERY strongly to pet owners. And it's not bad for anyone else either.
