  • I am staying at the homewood suites by Hilton in La Quinta and I'm here for three days and two nights while I was today is my last night or actually my last day.

  • I've already stayed for two nights.

  • I am checking out today and I was here because my husband is here for a conference.

  • So I thought I would tag along because this, this hotel is pet friendly and whenever I can bring the puppies with me or the dogs with me I want to go um you know it's nice to get out, go somewhere different.

  • La Quinta is, it's close to indio California.

  • If you're familiar with Coachella, that's where indio California is, where Coachella is always held.

  • And La Quinta is just right next to it.

  • It's in Palm springs and palm springs is about a two hour drive from L.

  • A.

  • So it's a very easy drive.

  • Um And it's pretty straightforward when we arrived at check in the area is so beautiful.

  • It's a gorgeous mountain view.

  • The palm trees are gorgeous.

  • We came close to sunset so it was just the light was just so beautiful.

  • Pretty much all the days.

  • All two days we're here, the light, sunset has been really really pretty and we checked in.

  • It was super fast.

  • Check in there.

  • Super dog friendly.

  • They love the dogs.

  • Um You know we don't get like a gift bag or anything for the dogs but that doesn't really matter to me because I always bring them their toys and their treats and stuff.

  • So there's no like dog beds or anything like that.

  • They don't give you anything extra, there's a $50 fee for having a dog first day I have two dogs.

  • So for three days and two nights it was a $50.01 time just to make sure that you bring your own dog stuff because they don't provide anything.

  • What I love about our room is we got the king suite and what I love about it is that it becomes it comes with your own kitchen.

  • So you know we don't have to eat out every night if we don't want to.

  • And there's a grocery store nearby literally like a two minute drive.

  • I mean I guess you could walk there if you wanted to, but I mean I wouldn't, but everything around here is there's a bunch of sidewalks, easy to walk around with your dogs.

  • Also there is a dog park within walking distance.

  • It's like a four minute walk from here.

  • So if you want to take your dogs to the park, it's very easy to do that from this hotel.

  • The room itself, I kind of got sidetracked, but so there is a kitchen, a small living room and then a bedroom with a bathroom.

  • I did use the kitchen a little bit, the kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, also a toaster, silverware, so it has all the necessities if you did want to cook a light meal here if you're staying for a really long time, sometimes eating apple is fine, just gets kind of um I don't know, I get kind of sick of it, but since we're only here for two nights, we did eat out both nights.

  • First night we found a Vietnamese restaurant.

  • That was very good.

  • And then the second night we are actually, this hotel is literally sharing the same, basically, almost like the same parking lot as Applebee's so we can just like walk like, you know, 30 seconds to Applebee's.

  • So we did that one night we actually picked it up so we can come back to the hotel and eat it.

  • So the dogs aren't alone.

  • But the hotel actually offers on Wednesday nights meals and drinks and actually alcoholic drinks for free and what they had on Wednesday night, I did check it out.

  • They had hamburgers, chicken noodle soup, a cheese plate, pretzels, trail mix, and they offered draft beer, red wine, white wine.

  • So they had a really good variety of drinks and food if you didn't want to eat out on Wednesday night, I was expecting kind of like just light bites.

  • So that's why we went ahead and ate at Applebee's.

  • But had we had checked beforehand, I think it would have just ate at the hotel and saved a little bit of money because the food options were pretty decent and I get sidetracked again, I think I did.

  • So back to the hotel, the bed was really comfy.

  • I you know, the pillows are really comfy.

  • I always hear every pill tonight.

  • Stay at, it's always really comfy.

  • The bed and the pillows.

  • So I really like how the pillows that give you different options with firm and soft.

  • So I slept really well.

  • There's a tv in each room, the bedroom and the living room.

  • When I'm at a hotel like I just like to have background noise all the time.

  • So I always have, the tv on the couch is really comfy.

  • It's also I believe a pullout bed so you can have more than two guests here if there is someone sleeping on the couch, they do provide extra pillows and blankets that's in the closet.

  • The kitchen has a nice dining room table.

  • So I did do some work while I was here.

  • So that was nice.

  • The table actually had kind of like a workstation.

  • Um So they it was like plug their USB and an outlet so I could plug my laptop and while I'm working I really like that instead of having a separate desk somewhere else because it can utilize it because I don't really need a dining room table and a separate working desk.

  • So I like that I can use that all together as one.

  • The bathroom had very basic necessity amenities.

  • I mean shampoo, conditioner lotion.

  • Um So and that's pretty much it.

  • Oh no they had face to face um White space wash wipe.

  • So what do you call it?

  • I like that one hotel to provide that the shower is it had okay pressure, water pressure.

  • The water was very warm or hot if you like your water to be hot.

  • Never ran out of hot water.

  • Yeah so that's pretty much it with the room itself.

  • I know I went off off track a little bit or quite often.

  • So what I really like about the hotel here is how convenient it is to take your dogs out.

  • So in the living room there is a sliding door with a screen door and actually there is a chair and a table if you wanted to sit outside and enjoy coffee or your meals which is a little bit too cold.

  • So I didn't really do that but I did use that door to take the dogs out to go pee like at night so that's nice.

  • I don't have to actually go out of the hotel room into the hallways and then outside so that is really really nice and I don't like having your own little apartment um the way it's set up and even like the area like when you walk outside it looks like an apartment like everyone's got their own balconies, their own tables and chairs.

  • There was also grills outside, it really was like I was just um you know at a different apartment because everything was here um It was super convenient even with the dogs, nothing felt like oh I wish I was at home because it would have been easier to do the things with the dogs this way or that way.

  • Everything is super convenient.

  • Breakfast was free and pleasantly surprised because usually free breakfast, you know, the eggs are bland or they use like the boxed eggs and you don't really get a nice like selection of food or it's pretty average, but the eggs were actually, I'm I'm pretty sure they weren't boxed eggs because they tasted awesome and the pastries, they weren't like the, they didn't taste like cheap or box, like even the pastries taste fresh.

  • So I'm wondering if they get them from a local bakery or something because the danish and the croissants were so crispy and light and fresh.

  • Like I really liked the pastries here.

  • They also have coffee and tea.

  • I had tea, coffee was okay.

  • I mean, I don't think it was like amazing, but it wasn't bad either and they actually provide coffee and tea 24 hours.

  • So during the day I was working a little bit and I couldn't just go out into the lobby or the dining area and grab some more coffee.

  • So that was really That there was coffee and drinks like 24 hours.

  • The staff was really nice.

  • I mean from like being from check in to like the dining area or just walking around the hallway, like they're so helpful and they asked to make sure everything's okay and we actually forgot toothpaste.

  • I've never forgotten toothpaste.

  • And um I called the front desk.

  • They were like, oh yeah, we have toothpaste will bring it.

  • But you know sometimes it takes a long time and I was just ready to brush my teeth and go to bed.

  • So I was like, I don't know, I'll go, you know, I'll go and pick an excel near the front desk.

  • But so while I was putting on my shoes, they actually came to the literally they came within 30 seconds.

  • This is the first time I've asked for something at the front desk and they came like that.

  • Usually it takes a while.

  • Um There's also at the front desk area, there's like this little shopping, like a little convenience store, like a little store if you want to buy snacks and you don't want to go, although there's plenty of things around here nearby.

  • But if you don't want to go out, they also have, you know, like frozen dinners that you can heat up in your room and then microwave.

  • Super dog friendly, comfortable room.

  • Really gorgeous area.

  • And everything is nearby.

  • So super convenient as well.
