Pet - friendly for the LA Quinta means ALL dogs not just purse pups! Thank you La Quinta for saving our trip. We had reserved a room at the Extended Stay in Mesa only to be told that they have a 40 lb limit at both hotels. We were able to use the Instant Hold feature on www.lq.com and called the hotel to confirm that larger dogs (we have two big Labs) would be acceptable. Not only are large dogs accepted, there is no extra charge! That $50 savings went to a nice dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Pets with their families are put on the 4th floor and the closest ice machine is on the 3rd floor but that was not a major issue. I like the idea of having a specific floor for pets. I wish they would designate an area to dog walk and maybe have bags available for owners. We carry 4 gallon trash bags with us (biodegradable and big enough for Labra-doo-doo ). The room was spacious and very clean and I love the built in corner cabinet for the fridge, micro,and coffee maker.The A/C works very well! I can tell from previous reviews that this hotel has needed some renovation. I would say they have done a great job because the only thing that looked old or seedy was the elevator floor. The staff is friendly and we didn't have any trouble getting our questions answered. I have a few pics that I will post later (they are on my phone).
