I stayed here recently during a cross-country move. I chose this La Quinta for a combination of reasons -- great location (across the highway from Highland Park and a strip mall with plenty of places to eat), pet friendly, and low cost ($69/night).
There were a couple of minor mishaps when we first checked in. First, our key cards didn't work on the room that was assigned to us (it turned out both of the key cards were coincidentally faulty). Then, we were given another room, but the tv didn't work. Finally, the hotel staff were kind enough to move us to the suite, where we had two working tv's and a minifridge. The staff were very gracious throughout each of the various mishaps and were extremely attentive to our needs.
The suite (which featured a king size bed in the bedroom and a separated living room with a couch) was definitely nicer than the normal room (two double beds), which is on the small side. It did look like complimentary wireless internet access was available in every room (the non-suite room actually had its own wireless router attached to the desk).
As I mentioned, the location is great, and we had dinner at a wonderful Indian restaurant across the street. We really appreciated having dining options other than the usual Cracker Barrel or Chili's fare. Even though the La Quinta is right on the interstate, we did not notice any bothersome levels of noise (and our suite was even on the side of the building facing the interstate). The complimentary continental breakfast was typical but at least had fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes, and bananas), which is all I ask of my continental breakfasts.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay, thanks in large part to the staff. They were friendly and helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make us comfortable.
