Spent two nights here at the start and end of a trip around the canyons. Rooms were of a reasonable stand and the free shuttle to the airport and strip was useful. Breakfast was dull - everything was wrapped in plastic, it didn't seem very healthy and there was a lot of waste. If you just book a room then there's a Starbucks over the road. It was nice to have a pool and there were a few local shops. If you can afford to stay on the strip then do it.

Let's see, where to begin with the problems?

First, the hotel lost our reservation and we had to wait over an hour for a room to become available. The people behind the desk were courteous, but not very helpful.

Next, the entire hallway going towards our room smelled very, very strongly of marijuana. I expected the DEA to bust in at any moment and raid the place. I also prayed the smell wouldn't stick to my suit.

Finally, and this is the best part, we walk into our room, and there, sprawled out on the bed watching television, is one of the hotel workers. I assumed it must have been a landscaper taking an afternoon siesta, based on his sweaty appearance and dirty attire.

We immediately went to check out, however the front desk did not respond so courteously this time. They didn't charge us, but at first they didn't even believe us.

Also, we couldn't get a cab for 45 minutes, even after calling four different places. The hotel would only call one place for us.

Our advice: either spend a little extra for a better hotel or risk ruining your entire trip, be it business or pleasure.

Took cab from airport as we were told there was no shuttle..there is a shuttle. Check in was quick as we are LaQuinta "rewards" members having signed up as we have always enjoyed our stays at their hotels. This hotel was an exception. We were placed FAR from the main entrance in a room that was nice, clean and comfortable. No problems there. It was after midnight when we arrived and we were starving so we walked a short distance to Terrible's for a $1.99 Breakfast which was quite good. Our disappointment started the next morning. Complimentary breakfast (cereal, bagels, toast, juice, yogurt) was being closed up when we got there at 9:30. Sign said they were open until 10 that day. So we got what was left over. Coffee was downright terrible couldn't drink it. At check out we asked if the shuttle could take us to the Strip. Actually my husband asked to go to the Bellagio. Not so friendly front desk resounded NO. When we asked if he would call us a cab he looked at me as if I were an Edsel then picked up the phone to call. We went outside to wait and then the shuttle driver came and asked us if we were waiting for him. We asked if he would give us a ride to the Bellagio and he said sorry he could only take us to Harrah's. At this point the rude front desk person came out hopped into the shuttle and off they went. After waiting 20 minutes for the cab we went back to the front desk (new person manning it) and asked about the cab. He said it could take 5 minutes or one hour and we would just have to wait. I must stress that you cannot just go out on the street to flag a cab, they do not allow this. You must be picked up at a hotel or restaurant. So we wait until our hour was up and went in to ask desk to call again which he did and he was told cab would be there soon. At this point my husband was livid. We have NEVER waited more than 5 minutes in Vegas for a cab. We asked him to call another company and were told that was the one they used. So hubby goes to the sidewalk out front and flags down a cab who we thought was ours. It wasn't but the cabby took us anyway and explained that no way does a cab take that long at least not his company. God knows when our cab arrived if ever. We feel that the front desk could have accommodated us by calling another company as we had asked. This is one of the shabbier looking LaQuinta's we have stayed in but as stated above the room was fine, the price was ok not spectacular. Would not stay here again as it is out of the way of the strip and no transport to get there.

We stayed at the La Quinta on the last night of a 10 day tour of AZ and UT national parks. After the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon and Zion we just weren't up for the craziness of the strip, and so instead opted for this place, and were extremely glad we did. It was perfect, quiet, clean and with great staff. We arrived just as their computer network had crashed for the fourth time that day, and were told that they couldn't check us in because they had no way of finding anyones reservations. I'd lost the reservation paperwork from the online booking I'd made so I couldn't even prove we were staying there. However my husband, who suffers from insomnia, was desperate to get some sleep, having had a bad night before we arrived, I explained the situation and they very kindly gave us two king sized rooms, when we'd only booked queens. The rooms were great, came with whirlpool jacuzzis and the beds were very comfy. My husband finally got some sleep, and everyone was happy. The shuttle to and from the strip worked out great, we had no wait to get there, and on the way back they picked us up within 15 minutes. We'd stay here again without question.
