The is one of the worse La Quinta Inn I stayed booking through Hotwire ($58; rated 2.5 stars). Stayed one night before heading to our Tahoe ski trip. Checked in was so easy : Just my last name and I got the room key in 20 seconds. That's it! No ID, no credit card, no nothing.

The original room was close to the freeway. We asked the front desk lady and she was helpful to got us a room right along the swimming pool. That was much better even though we didn't use any other facility except the room. Found some trashes while walking around but I guess that was just left from the hotel guests. Room was smaller than normal but clean, expect the bathroom ceiling. Free wireless internet can be accessed in room.
Breakfast bar was simple but enough for us to skipped breakfast off-site. There is also a fitness center right next to the breakfast area. IMHO, it probably not quite deserves the 2.5 stars since the room is so small. I think I can find a much better deal with the price I paid. I will not come back again.

We had to stay overnight in the Sacramento airport area since our flight was scheduled to arrive well after midnight. The desk clerk was very friendly, and even offered to upgrade us to a quieter room in the back with a king size bed since the hotel wasn't full.
The room was comfortable, warm and impeccably clean. The continental breakfast was okay, nothing special but just what we needed before a long drive.

For a one night stay it was great.

Nice but smallish rooms. Good shower. Overall very clean. The pool is never really in good shape (we've stayed here several times over a few years); the jacuzzi was out of service. Nice stopover point from Southern California going north to Oregon. Breakfast is adequate with some warm foods such as waffles and hard boiled eggs.

We chose this hotel due to it's proximity to the convention center and price. The price was definitely the best feature. The shuttle service was also adequate, somewhat prompt, and the driver friendly. (We love you, Vicki!) Breakfast was adequate according to La Quinta standards, though not outstanding.
Some problems include the numerous cats roaming freely around the property. Most were skittish, but some looked ferocious and would hiss. Not to mention that the first night there was cat hair on the sheets and blankets on our bed. The staff changed it for the second night and it was better, but on the fourth night when the sheets were changed again, the cat hair was back. :( It wouldn't be so bad, but we have cat allergies.
Also, our toilet had problems in that it kept cycling water, which was very noisy, and our sink leaked onto the floor underneath the counter. We alerted the management to this, but they were unable to fix the problem before we left.
It was adequate for our stay, but we'd feel more comfortable staying somewhere else on our next visit to the area.
