Oh... I've also stayed at the LaQuinta in Steamboat. I have a habit of taking off with no plan whatsoever, then riding all day, not making reservations for a place to stay, and just winging sh*t.
Anyway... I did all that, then went to the LaQuinta. They wanted $85 a night, but I performed a Jedi Mind trick, and told them I'd pay $70. The lady at the desk laughed, and went to ask the manager in the back and they gave it to me for $70. This practice works fairly often with hotels if it isn't a busy weekend with holidays or something.
La Quinta was about the same as the Super 8. Standard hotel room. Beats sleeping in the truck.
