As a consolation, La Quinta has a free breakfast every morning. Which might not sound that great, but, I had the Hyatt for training. No free breakfast. Another meal we had to plan and purchase. So, it’s not all bad.

For a few nights here and there who cares, but for 9 weeks of training it'd be nice to stay on a nice hotel. But hey it is what is

Clean and free breakfast, especially before per diem kicks in is good. Lot better than dual occupancy or crappy apartments. Some la quintas have been revamped. Sheraton was nice though! Eh, can handle that for 3 months.


For when training finishes half way through a month, will the rest be reserve and get to bid for the next month?

La Queeta. Lol.

Better than the non-hotel I and my compatriots got a zillion years ago.

I’m at the La Quinta too for 5/6.. So far it’s clean I have no worries about leaving my tooth brush on the counter.

How long will you guys stay there? The entire length of the training?

I was asking this last night at the front desk. No matter what even if there are days off, time to go home, anything. We have the same hotel room blocked out for 92 days. They have a shuttle run to WallyWorld on Friday and Saturday but you need to get on the list to go.

There are a few options around o eat, but not a whole ton. The rooms have refrigerators and microwaves. All in all I've stayed in worse.

Correct, you’re blocked out there for your entire length of training. As breaks near you’ll get directions from travel telling you check out if you go home for more than a week. You’ll then have to put in a request when your date to come back nears. Also, if your sims get moved to St Louis.
