“La Quinta's biggest draw is clearly the WaTiki Indoor Waterpark, a real boon for families, and the Starbucks kiosk certainly seals the deal. While I'm told some found the staff less than stellar, the housekeepers seem to leave a genuinely positive impression. It strikes me as a solid choice if you're prioritizing on-site entertainment.”
