I like LaQuinta. The last couple I stayed in were just fine. $60 seems to be the average price and priceline tends to be too random.60 bucks for a la quinta? Holy crap... you need a

The new ones are nice, but the older ones can be sketchy. We are staying at a brand new one in Allen that looks pretty nice.

Re: Hotels
$60 is a good price for a LaQuinta. Nicer than a Super 8 and not as nice as a HI Express.
The lowest PL bid I've ever landed for this grade of hotel is $45. When you tack on their fees it's right around $60 before taxes anyway. The higher star properties is where you can really kick ass with Priceline. Near airports or convention centers during off-peak times I often get 3-star places like Courtyard by Marriott, Radisson, etc. bidding $50-$55. Typical walk in purchase for a 3-star is usually $95-$135.

I'm looking for a bed in Memphis for the drive down. I'm going to take my chances for a super cheapo PL deal. I got lucky and got the Courtyard in Frisco for $59 with AAA discount, my wife can't believe they didn't shut down their discounts and jack up the prices because everything got booked so quickly down there.

Re: Hotels
This. LaQuintas are built on the cheap and they're generally not well-maintained. (clean, usually, but maintenance goes beyond cleaning). New ones are pretty solid for the first 2-3 years. Older properties, no ma'am. Use caution. Call ahead and ask if the bedbugs are free or do they charge extra?
For the record I am currently a Platinum in LaQuinta's Reward Points (not exactly a source of pride) so I'm biased, but not completely talking out my ass.

A coworker claims that La Quinta is Spanish for "next to Denny's".

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

There are a LOT of hotels there. Competition is a good thing.
