The lady that checked us in on the Sunday we arrived was just wonderful. Outstanding for a La Quinta: Clean, quiet, good and actively refilled breakfast WITH a wafflemaker, complementary fruity-water with donut holes or other snack daily all day in the lobby, well stocked purchasable necessities. Also, the front desk had fresh made cookies and brownies you could buy that were just too good. Microwave is in the bedroom along with a coffeemaker and an ice bucket, and a roomy fridge.
The location itself is a bit aways at about 12-15min from North Beach, but it was not a deal breaker for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, and regretted not staying longer! I must come back!
