La Quinta on North Military Highway is a budget night that takes the dog. Breakfast is the free Bright Side Breakfast, parking is free, the pool is heated and indoors, and there are pet-friendly rooms — "just two miles" from ORF by Wyndham's count.
Our routing puts the terminal about 6.8 road miles away. Wyndham's page doesn't print check-in times, the pet fee or any shuttle, so those are calls to make.
It sits nineteenth on the alphabet, level with eight others on 33 — a tie, not a verdict on the rooms.
Ask the pet fee when you book, and plan a cab or the city lot for the morning.
