La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"This is a wonderful property. We had a spa villa, which was excellent with two patios and a full kitchen and an extra half bath. The rooms are slightly crusty and could probably stand to be updated and there was no blackout curtain in the bedroom so light got in, but that was fine. The staff was very helpful especially Brandon at the front desk. We enjoyed our stay very much. It was a long walk from the spa villas to the restaurant, but that’s OK. I would stay here again."
