Room Assignments
When you arrive at La Quinta Resort & Club you will receive a “Run of House” room assignment. This means that you will be assigned the best room available which will be either a resort or deluxe casita room if that is available (unoccupied, clean, etc.) when you check in.
Early Arrivals
The Resort is usually quite full on weekends in the winter with Los Angelinos enjoying the desert climate. The resort check-in time is 4:00 PM. If you should arrive early and find that a room is not available, you will be offered baggage storage while you enjoy the facilities. The Resort’s fitness, tennis, and swimming facilities (lockers available) will be accessible to you. Or you may take a moment to relax in one of the hotel’s restaurants or browse the retail shops, and stroll the beautifully landscaped gardens. The Guest Service Agent will expedite your room accommodations and notify you, via your cell phone, when your room is ready.
Suites
If you would like to arrange for one of the Resort’s many suites, contact Lisa Weidinger, REF’s Conference Director who can give you some idea of REF’s pricing and availability for these accommodations.
Since its opening, La Quinta Resort & Club has been the favorite retreat of Hollywood legends like Garbo, Gable and Capra, and financial powerhouses such as Vanderbilt and Crocker.
