Guest Room Size

What do you want from your hotel? Like many people, you are probably interested in getting the most for your money. Big rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff, and lots of helpful amenities are some of the items on the list. And the big room is key. No one wants to be spending a lot of money to end up in a glorified broom closet. But fear not; this will never happen to you when you stay at an Extended Stay Hotels or La Quinta Inn. These locations offer spacious rooms and suites, giving you a place to sleep, work, and relax.

Are you in the mood for cooking? Every Extended Stay Hotels suite has its own kitchen. Would you rather grab a quick meal on the go? La Quinta Inn has a complimentary breakfast to start your day off right. Whatever you do, you know there will be a large, inviting room waiting for you at the end of your busy day.

There are great deals to be had at either of these hotel chains. For more information about their room and suite offerings, visit the La Quinta Inn and Extended Stay Hotels websites. It's time to get more. Visit these hotels and enjoy more space to yourself. You deserve it!

Hotel Accommodations

As the cold days of February begin to make themselves known, many of us go into hibernation. Yet this can be a great time to look for hotel accommodations and take a trip. Ski slopes are in full operation and many locations have fewer tourists than in the summer months. Also, a trip to Florida or the Southwest becomes very attractive when the temperature starts to dip.

Valentine's Day is another great reason to travel. Why not surprise that special someone with a get-away weekend to somewhere with special meaning or someplace entirely new. There are many cities across the country with five star restaurants, dancing, and many attractions to keep you both entertained. La Quinta Inn and Extended Stay Hotels have great deals that can make a Valentine's Day trip affordable.

February is the perfect time to book your hotel reservation. Accommodations do not have to be hard to come by and they do not have to make your trip prohibitively expensive. Stay at any one of the La Quinta Inn or Extended Stay Hotels locations and discover the freedom of travel. Have you ever wanted to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras? Lay out on a warm, sandy beach in the middle of winter? Finally settle the question of whether New York pizza is better than Chicago pizza, or vice versa? Now you can and there's no time like the present.

Room Rates

Besides a comfortable bed, clean room, helpful staff, and useful amenities, guests are looking for affordable room rates when they choose a hotel. The more of a deal, the better. That is why both Extended Stay Hotels and La Quinta Inn work hard to offer low room rates, making these hotels a great value. Extended Stay Hotels offers weekly room rates and La Quinta offers the ability to use gift certificates to book rooms. There are weekend deals for a number of US locations every week that are also worth keeping an eye on for special rates that are even lower.

La Quinta Inn and Extended Stay Hotels put special emphasis on the amenities that you as a traveler may want while keeping prices low. Both these hotels offer high-speed Internet access and comfortable, spacious rooms, and great TV channel options. Extended Stay has full kitchens in each suite and La Quinta Inn offers a buffet breakfast, so you can start each day out well without having to seek out breakfast in an unfamiliar town. These touches ensure that you get the most relaxation from your stay and yet you still save money compared to other hotels.

Room rates can be kept low if you look for deals and choose hotels carefully. If comparing rates, check to see if things like taxes are included or if there are extra fees for additional people. Be sure to see where the hotel is located and if this is convenient for your plans. Once you have all the details, you can make an informed decision on the best choice for you at the lowest room rate possible. La Quinta Inn and Extended Stay Hotels work hard to give you low room rates, offering the best value for your money.
