La Quinta Inns & Suites launches the Bright Spot

Facing a tough economy, many people tried a “staycation” for Memorial Day and July Fourth. With the same distractions and gnawing guilt about not doing something “productive” with their time, like painting the house, it’s just not a vacation. Labor Day is quickly approaching and it’s time for a change of scenery, to get out of the house and hit the road. La Quinta provides travellers with a bright spot at the end of summer, an opportunity to take a trip while saving hundreds of dollars.

At La Quinta, guests get more than free breakfast, free high-speed internet and comfy beds. Now, they can stretch their travel dollar further by visiting La Quinta’s “Bright Spot” at lq.com/brightspot for an exclusive collection of offers and money-saving discounts on car rentals, music downloads, travel products, dining and more. Book a room at any La Quinta hotel and use the confirmation number to access the special Bright Spot offers to reduce the cost of getting away.

For a chance to win great prizes every day now through the end of September, anyone can register and play the Bright Spot Challenge game at lq.com/brightspotchallenge. One lucky winner will also win the grand prize of an ultimate Bright Spot vacation. Daily instant win prizes include:
