Hit or miss as far as stuff around them, free breakfast etc. For a regional, they're OK, though. No La Quinta/Econolodges, thankfully, it's always a littttle bit better.
Why the hate on La Quinta? They have actually stepped up their game quite a bit the last several years. They are on par with say Holiday Inn's. YYJ hotel is really nice.
