Company Press Release
July 3, 2000
DALLAS, TX -- As families hit the road for summertime fun, La Quinta Inns, Inc. rolls out the red carpet with a
hot summer special. Available now through Aug. 31, 2000, guests may reserve one room for two consecutive nights
or two rooms for one night for only $99 at participating La Quinta® Inns and La Quinta® Inn & Suites
in Texas.
Whether it's a retreat to the sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast, an outdoor adventure at one of Texas' state parks,
or a more historic excursion to the Alamo, there is a La Quinta at virtually every stop along the way. With more
than 100 Texas locations to choose from, La Quinta offers an array of family-friendly amenities including complimentary
breakfast and free stays for children 18 and under in their parent's room.
All of La Quinta's spacious, contemporary rooms offer in-room coffee makers, 25`` televisions with movies-on-demand,
expanded cable stations, Nintendo® video games, and large, bright bathrooms. La Quinta Inn & Suites feature
a choice of three room types -- standard rooms, king rooms and two-room suites -- each with an in-room iron and
ironing board, hair dryer, and even an in-room microwave and refrigerator in king rooms and suites. La Quinta Inn
& Suites locations also include on-site fitness centers, guest laundry facilities and beautifully landscaped
courtyards with a heated swimming pool and spa.
``Thanks to La Quinta's Texas Summer Special, families can enjoy their summer vacations without leaving the Lone
Star State,'' said Chris Trick, director of marketing communications for La Quinta Inns, Inc. ``Additionally, our
partnership with the Texas Department of Parks & Wildlife provides families with a wide variety of outdoor
vacation options that are value packed and close to home.''
La Quinta teamed up with Texas Parks & Wildlife and the Texas-based KIDFISH Foundation earlier this year to
encourage kids and families enjoy the great outdoors. Most of the 120 state parks across Texas are within 30 minutes
of a La Quinta hotel and offer traditional activities like fishing, hiking and stargazing. In addition, many parks
also feature more unusual activities such as bat-watching, musical shows, Native American rock art tours, caving
and camel treks. Visit the Texas Specials page at www.laquinta.com for more information and links to Texas travel
and activity sites.
Travelers are encouraged to call for information quickly because rooms are limited and the Texas Summer Special
is subject to availability and certain restrictions. To book reservations, call 1-800-531-5900 and ask for the
Texas Summer Special (code: TX2499).
