You can always get a cheap rate on strip or off strip, but your choices are pretty limited when you have a pooch traveling with you. Luckily, after some research, we found a few places off strip that were affordable (La Quinta being one of them).\n\nThere weren't a lot of reviews for this particular La Quinta, but I've stayed at another La Quinta in Northern California before and it was pretty decent (affordably and clean).\n\nFrom the moment we walked in, the staff was courteous and helpful. We checked in late in the afternoon and they even called our room about 15-20 minutes after we checked in to see if we needed anything.\n\nThe rooms are pretty basic, but had the essentials we needed (fridge, microwave, hair dryer and a TV with cable!).\n\nWe stayed on the first floor, which was actually one level below ground level, facing the parking lot. At times it was loud, but not terrible since we were pretty tired most nights.\n\nIf you need to bring Fido with you on vacation, La Quinta Inn is a great choice. I really enjoyed a smoke free hotel and the freshly baked cookies they have at the front desk in the evening aren't bad either. We didn't really get to try their complimentary continental breakfast, but it looked like it had some pretty good options (hard boiled eggs, cereal, toast, yogurt and milk).\n\n\nYelp 100 Challenge 2014 - 17 of 100"^^ .
