I was hoping to watch the baseball playoffs on ESPN, but to my surprise, ESPN was not loaded onto our TV. We also wanted to watch CNN, also not loaded. We called the front desk and the woman came right up and said that she could remedy by adding those channels, but it would take about 30 minutes. We said, no thanks. In our previous stays we'd never had a problem with missing channels. The channel laminated sheet on our TV bureau listed ESPN and CNN, so what's the deal? We have always loved staying at this La Quinta, but may reconsider for our next stop on the way to Austin from Toledo, OH.
