The La Quinta Inns & Suites™ Advantage
In spite of an adverse economic climate and challenges impacting lending, financing and construction, La Quinta has continued to partner with select owners and developers to build La Quinta hotels and commence new projects arising out of a full pipeline.

Our experience in all aspects of the investment cycle has convinced us there has never been a better time to invest in mid-scale hotels whose brands provide the right combination of marketplace presence, value and franchise service.

There are several factors that make La Quinta the investment of choice in today's market:

• "Skin in the Game" - Because La Quinta owns and operates several hundred hotels, it has incentives to make brand wide decisions that benefit those hotels, as well as franchised properties. It is a great assurance that the company is doing everything possible to look out for the franchisee's bottom line.
  
  
• Culture of Caring - Franchisees say that La Quinta's management team is extremely hands-on, going the extra mile to help franchisees succeed and creating a culture of "family" and mutual support. This culture of caring goes well beyond any support system created by any competitive brand. La Quinta's management team schedules regular regional meetings with its franchise owners as well always in-touch and also holds an annual brand conference. These events allow for updates, two-way communication and an opportunity to network.
  
  
• Advice and Support from Management - No other brand goes to such length to assure the success of its franchise partners. When a franchise owner needed to make a decision on a specific site, a La Quinta Executive Vice President got on a plane on short notice, flew three hours and evaluated the site with the franchisee, advising him that this was not the right site for the property he was considering.
  
  
• "The Next Big Thing" - More than one franchise owner stated that La Quinta has the potential to become the hottest brand in themed-scale segment and in fact, it already is. It is positioned similarly to where some brands were seven or eight years ago. It is established and growing with strong management, but still has lots more room to grow, domestically and internationally. It is a "ground floor" opportunity that many savvy owners and developers are taking advantage of.
