Situated less than 10 minutes from Denver International
Airport, the two-and-a-half-pearl La Quinta Inn
& Suites is bright and welcoming, with clean, spacious rooms. It is similar
to and perhaps a little more affordable than other properties in the area with a free 24-hour airport shuttle, Wi-Fi access, continental breakfast, and an indoor pool, but there's no bar or
restaurant. Visitors may want to compare rates at the Quality Inn Airport South, another two-and-a-half-pearl hotel in the area.
Scene
Typical chain hotel with beautifully landscaped grounds, popular with airport transit guests
What sets this hotel apart from others in the area is its
lush landscaping. The hotel has a spacious outdoor courtyard covered in green
grass with several trees and a gazebo where guests can be found reading the
newspaper or sipping coffee in warmer months. The lobby area is bright, with lots of floor-to-ceiling windows. Sofas and chairs upholstered with a Southwestern-style print are clustered around a fireplace that sits below a large flat-screen TV. Most of the guests here are business travelers or tourists with early-morning flights out of the nearby Denver Airport.
Location
In sprawling hotel and chain restaurant area near Denver International Airport
The La Quinta is located on Tower Road off of Pena Boulevard,
the main road off of Interstate 70 by the Denver International
Airport, a nine-minute drive or ride on La Quinta's free 24-hour shuttle from the hotel. There's not much in the immediate vicinity beyond a few other airport hotels and some restaurants -- including a Ruby Tuesday and a Village Inn -- both within a 10-minute walk. Downtown Denver is a 30- to 45-minute drive away.
Rooms
Spacious rooms with comfortable beds and ugly old carpets
The rooms at La Quinta are spacious, with comfortable, pillow-top beds and
large bathrooms with shower/tub combos and blindingly white countertops and walls. Furniture consists of wooden dressers, desks with office chairs, modern
flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers. Some rooms have sofa beds and Suites
have extra sinks, mini-fridges, and microwave. All rooms are carpeted with busy, unattractively
patterned carpets in need of an update.
Features
Indoor pool with hot tub, fitness center, free continental breakfast, and free Wi-Fi throughout
This La Quinta offers a free continental
breakfast buffet and Wi-Fi to all guests. The medium-size indoor pool and hot tub are housed in a bright room with skylights and a glass wall and door that lead out onto a patio with a couple of tables and lounge chairs. The fitness room is less impressive, and is small with just a handful of machines. Other amenities include a coin-operated laundry room and a pair of computers in the lobby that are free for guest use.
