Stay away

Facts first: this La Quinta is about as old as the Mormon church. The keycard sensors on the guest room doors don't work well. We had to change rooms to get a working door lock. Front desk staff was sweet and apologetic but these are facts. The building is old, rooms are old. Fact: the bathroom had French door style doors that closed in the center. Never seen that. The window with a view towards the mountain had numerous bird poop strikes. So, not an appealing view. Fact: the doors to the back parking lot were propped open at all hours (at least until I un-propped them once).

There were empty male enhancement capsule packages in the parking lot near where we parked. There was a lot of traffic going to/from our neighbors room until the wee hours of the morning. There was booming music outside our poop stained window until wee hours of morning. Idk if my neighbor was a prostitute or not but it could have been a possibility. Every other chain hotel is located within a mile of this La Quinta. I suggest you book your stay at one of the other nearby properties who may also be dog friendly.

Good Experience

La Quinta Boise Square was great for our overnight in Boise. Updated rooms. Gave us an early check-in. Handmade breakfast in the morning was delish, esp the mini waffles! Would stay again when traveling through Boise.

Satisfactory for a night

It’s Cheyenne after all but there are other hotel options. The little kitchenette is kinda nice but pack your own utensils, pots, and pans? "There should be a toaster in there somewhere," said the gentleman who checked us in. And, "Watch out for the coyotes!" Good advice. We didn’t see any. We did hear lots of conversation right outside our first floor room door most of the evening. Walls and doors are thin. The 4 Milkbones the desk attendant provided for Jake were probably the high point of our stay. Bonus tip: run the microwave fan on high (about 70dB) to drown out the rest of the noises you encounter there. If you can still hear after a full night of that you can probably smell this review, too.

Great for an overnight!

We were only passing through so stayed 1 night in room 104 which is close to the pet relief area. There are 5/6 rooms on that end of the hotel opposite the highway (no road noise at all). The property itself looks fairly new. There’s a very large social/bar/breakfast area at the entrance. Hot breakfast today included egg & cheese scramble, hash browns, plus sausage links and biscuits and gravy! Not to mention the waffle maker and the frosted mini wheats that I enjoyed. It’s a very clean, modern facility on the east side of Des Moines. Bonus: Casino/Racetrack across the street!
