Normally when we stay in the Summerlin area we stay at the Suncoast. Sometimes the Red Rock, if we can get a good price (not often). But this time we were staying over three nights and the Suncoast was full for one of those nights, so we picked the La Quinta Inn. We paid $90+, which I think is a little steep for this type of Las Vegas hotel, jmho...but when you figure in the free continental breakfast for two, it becomes a little more palatible.
The continental breakfast itself was pretty good - waffles, fruit, cereal, bagels, and yogurt, which is a nice addition that you don't usually get. The room was also comfortable, clean, and well maintained, although the bed was a little firm for our tastes. The room has free internet, although the first night I found the cable was broken. I informed the front desk and they left a replacement cable in the room. I was able to connect through this, however the speed was so slow that I ended up using my phone card to connect. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful for any of requests.
The hotel is in a relatively safe area of town, adjacent to a major hospital...didn't hear any sirens. What I could hear though is US 95. The hotel backs up against this interstate freeway and you can hear the highway noise. Eventually it fades on you and just becomes background noise. The location does make for easy on/off from the local freeway mess. It is a little hard to find, sitting off of the main street. We drove by it several times at night, even after we had checked in.
The hotel also has a small pool, and a small 4-person spa. There looks to be a restaurant or two across the street, but we never ventured into them. The large soccer field facility is also just down the street.
At $90/night this an okay value, as long as you like to eat breakfast (I seem to remember that they shut it down a little early...9 or 10am?) to bring down your overall expenses.
