Actually, there are several in the same vicinity of the LaQuinta. I stayed at the Candlewood Suites which was nice and very reasonable. It has a small kitchen with refrigerator, stove, microwave, sink. I saved money by going to a local grocery store and getting enough food to last the 4 nights and 5 days I was at the class. I think I ate out only once while I was there.

These hotels are on the west side of the highway opposite of the community center where the classes are held. Very easy to get to the class and back. Only minutes away. You will enjoy the class. The best part was the range time. DPS has a great facility and the Instructor Cadre top notch. I scored 250 on the revolver, which I hadn't shot in years and 248 on the semi-auto. Bummer. Wasn't expecting that.... in fact totaling opposite of what I was expecting.

I think everyone was concerned with the instructor candidate written exam and range quals. Sgt. Bamsch told everyone not to worry and that experience had shown that most everyone does better than what they expect. He was right.

I really enjoyed the whole experience. Good luck!
