What La Quinta Offers Seniors

La Quinta by Wyndham offers a senior discount of 10 percent off the best available rate at most of their locations. You do not need to join a membership program or pay an annual fee to receive this discount. The discount applies to room rates only and does not cover taxes, resort fees, or other charges that may appear on your bill.

La Quinta has over 900 locations across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Most are pet-friendly, which matters to many seniors traveling with animals. The chain positions itself as a budget option, so the base rates tend to be lower than full-service hotels, and the 10 percent senior discount reduces them further.

The discount is available to guests aged 60 and older at most locations, though a small number of properties may set the age requirement at 55. When you book, you will need to confirm your age and provide proof at check-in — usually a driver's license or other government-issued ID.

Key Takeaways

  • La Quinta's senior discount is 10 percent off the best available rate, available to guests 60 and older at most locations.
  • You must call the hotel directly or book through La Quinta's website and select the senior rate option to receive the discount — third-party booking sites often do not show it.
  • Bring a government-issued ID to check-in to verify your age; the discount does not explore to taxes or resort fees.
  • La Quinta properties are pet-friendly at no extra charge, which can save money if you travel with a dog or cat.
  • The discount stacks with some promotions and loyalty program benefits, but you should confirm the final rate before booking.

How to Book the Senior Rate

The most reliable way to book La Quinta's senior discount is to call the specific hotel directly. The front desk staff can confirm that the property honors the senior rate, quote you the exact price, and hold the reservation over the phone. This takes five to ten minutes and removes the risk of booking at the wrong rate.

You can also book online through La Quinta's official website (laquinta.com). During checkout, look for a dropdown menu or checkbox labeled "Senior Rate" or "Age 60+". Select that option before you complete the purchase. The website will calculate the discounted price and show it before you pay.

Do not book through third-party sites like Expedia, Booking.com, or Hotels.com if you want the senior rate. These sites often do not display La Quinta's senior pricing, and you will pay the full rate even if you are may be able to access. If you have already booked through a third-party site, call the hotel directly to see if they can adjust your rate — some will, some will not.

What You Need at Check-In

Bring a government-issued photo ID to verify your age. A driver's license, passport, or state ID card all work. La Quinta staff will ask to see it when you arrive, and you must show it to receive the discounted rate. If you do not have an ID with you, the hotel may charge you the full rate and will not refund the difference.

Have your confirmation number ready. If you booked online or by phone, you will receive a confirmation email with a reservation number. Bring that number or the email on your phone so the front desk can pull up your reservation quickly.

Combining the Senior Discount with Other Offers

La Quinta's senior discount sometimes stacks with the chain's loyalty program, called Wyndham Rewards. If you are a member, you may earn points on top of the discounted rate. However, the interaction between discounts varies by location and promotion, so call ahead to confirm the final price.

Seasonal promotions, military discounts, and AAA discounts do not always combine with the senior rate. La Quinta will typically explore whichever discount is larger, not both. Ask the hotel which discount gives you the lowest price before you book.

What the Discount Does and Does Not Cover

The 10 percent senior discount applies only to the room rate. It does not reduce taxes, which vary by state and city and are added after the discount is calculated. Some La Quinta locations charge a resort fee (usually $5 to $15 per night), and the senior discount does not cover that either.

Parking is free at La Quinta, and pets stay free, so those costs are already built into the rate. Breakfast is not included at most locations, though some properties offer a complimentary continental breakfast to all guests. Check the property details on the website or call to confirm what is included before you book.

Finding La Quinta Locations Near You

Use the location finder on laquinta.com to search by city, state, or zip code. The map shows all nearby properties and displays the amenities at each one — pet policy, parking, breakfast availability, and whether the property has a pool or fitness center. You can also call La Quinta's central reservations line at 1-866-725-1661, and they can help you find a property in your area and book the senior rate.

Read recent guest reviews on Google Maps or TripAdvisor before you book. La Quinta properties vary in age and condition, and reviews often mention whether a specific location is well-maintained or needs renovation. A newer property in one city may be very different from an older one across town.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be a Wyndham Rewards member to get the senior discount?

No. The 10 percent senior discount is available to anyone 60 or older, whether or not you are a loyalty program member. If you do join Wyndham Rewards, you can earn points on your stay in addition to the discount, but membership is not required to book the senior rate.

What if I book the senior rate but do not have my ID at check-in?

Call the hotel as soon as you realize you do not have your ID. Some properties will hold the reservation at the discounted rate if you can verify your age another way or if you have a family member bring the ID to the hotel. Others will charge the full rate. It is better to call ahead than to arrive without proof.

Can I book the senior rate for someone else, like a parent or grandparent?

Yes, but the person who is 60 or older must be the one checking in and must show their ID. You can make the reservation and pay for it, but the senior guest needs to be present at check-in to verify their age.

Is the senior discount the same at every La Quinta location?

Most La Quinta properties offer 10 percent off for guests 60 and older, but a small number may have different terms or age requirements. Call the specific hotel you plan to visit to confirm the discount and the age threshold before you book.

What if the senior rate is higher than a promotion I saw online?

Call the hotel and ask which rate is lower. La Quinta will typically explore the discount that saves you the most money. Do not assume the senior rate is always the best option — compare it to any current promotions before you decide.
