If you stay at La Quinta this summer, be sure to join their "Returns" program. I got a postcard the other day with a promo: Stay 3 times at any La Quinta location this summer, 6/15 through 8/15/2004, and earn one free night. Free night posts as 8,000 bonus points added to your account. Earn a maximum of 24,000 points through this offer.
Sorry, I haven't stayed at the particular location you're enquiring about, but I've stayed in quite a few of their properties (CA, AZ, TX, NY) and never had a bad stay.
I joined the la quinta returns program and have stayed 5 nights at one la quinta in 2004 and 1 night at another in 2004. As I understand your post card promotion that you received, I stayed at least 3 nights at one stay between june 15 and june 30, so I should be able to get the free night. Yes? All they sent me was a post card for only $10 off any stay by june 30, 2004.
They told me before I stayed there that if I stayed 10 nights in one year's time I would get one night free but now that I have completed my stays, they say it is simply the amount of points I get, not the number of nights I stay. Anyone have more info on these confusing turn of events?
Is there an offer number on your post card?
Even with the confusing info on their various offers, I will still stay at a La quinta again because of their last minute deals (code LMD) that let me get a King exec (also known as the king deluxe) room for only $49.99 to 55.30 plus tax. I have also gotten this rate or lower as a AAA promotion. Is the suite a real necessity? They have supplied a free roll-away at times with that price and the larger room. Get to breakfast earily because on my last two stays in Florida (2004) once they set out of breakfast supplies, they told me to just take what was left, that they set out a certain amount for breakfast and refused to get out more supplies... when they ran out of almost everything when I arrived only one hour or less before the close of breakfast. Note that this did not happen in Illinois. That Laquinta did it right in 2003 and got out more breakfast supplies.
