My wife and I just spent a few days at La Quinta. We found the facility and the staff to be warm and accommodating. Almost everybody spoke English. The meals are buffet style so you can choose from a wide variety. The grounds are well tended top and include a butterfly garden, ponds, trails and a few lovely spots to sit and watch birds, read, chat or daydream.
This was one of four places we stayed at and found it to be the most enjoyable.
