La Quinta Vacation Rentals is not a hotel. They rent out condos, which happen to share a parking lot with an Embassy Suites. We were confused by the name, as we originally thought we were renting a room at the La Quinta Resort (which is half a mile away). So shame on us, for not paying close enough attention when booking.
The bad:
The unit were stayed in had an overpowering smell of chlorine. We had to leave the front door open for several hours, and turn on the bathroom exhaust to lessen the smell as it was really bad upon arriving.
No view as advertised - La Quinta Vacation Rentals said we were facing the golf course, but what they didn't say was that there is a 10-15 foot embankment that blocks all possible views of the golf course, unless you walk up to the dirt embankment, and peer through the chainlink fence at top, to view it.
TV Cable - they had some Verizon FIOS cable system, which had 1000 channels to scroll through, but only about 100 of them worked.
Pool/Spa - the pool is small, and sandwiched between condos. So expect zero privacy, as most of the 2nd story windows look down onto the pool/spa area.
The Good:
These condos have 3 rooms (1 living/kitchen area, 1 bathroom, and 1 bdrm), so there are much larger than the typical hotel room.
Close to La Quinta city center - a short walk (1 block) away are a bunch of retail shops, a cafe, and bars and restaurants. La Quinta is about a 45 min drive away from Palm Springs
