                 La Quinta Inns, Inc., a Texas corporation (together with its
successors and assigns, the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to
pay to:_______________________________________________________________________
_______, or registered assignees, the principal sum of _______________________
dollars, on the Original Maturity Date specified above or, if the maturity
hereof is extended in accordance with the procedures set forth below to an
Extended Maturity Date, as defined below, on such Extended Maturity Date (except
to the extent previously redeemed or repaid) and to pay interest thereon at the
Interest Rate per annum specified above or, if the interest rate herein is reset
or re-established in connection with an extension of maturity in accordance with
the procedures specified on the reverse hereof, at the interest rate per annum
determined pursuant to such procedures, from the Interest Accrual Date specified
above until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment





                                       2
   3
(except as provided below), semiannually (unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof) in arrears on the 15th day of January and July in each year
(unless otherwise specified on the face hereof) (each such date an "Interest
Payment Date") commencing on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the
Interest Accrual Date specified above, and at maturity (or on any redemption or
repayment date); provided, however, that if the Interest Accrual Date occurs
between a Record Date, as defined below, and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment
Date succeeding the Interest Accrual Date to the registered holder of this Note
on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date; and
provided, further, that if this Note is subject to "Annual Interest Payments,"
interest payments shall be made annually in arrears and the term "Interest
Payment Date" shall be deemed to mean the 15th day of July in each year.

                 Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or,
if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the Interest Accrual
Date, until the principal hereof has been paid or duly made available for
payment (except as provided below).  The interest so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to
certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business
on the date 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date (whether or
not a Business Day) (each such date a "Record Date"); provided, however, that
interest payable at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be
payable to the person to whom the principal hereof shall be payable.  As used
herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is
neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized
or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New
York.

                 Payment of the principal of this Note, any premium and the
interest due at maturity (or on any redemption or repayment date) will be made
in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or
agency of the Paying Agent, as defined on the reverse hereof, maintained for
that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such
other paying agency as the Issuer may determine.  Payment of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on this Note will be made by U.S. dollar
check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Note register.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the
Depository, as holder of Global Notes, shall be entitled to receive payments of
interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds and (b) a holder of
$10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes having the same
Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive payments of interest, other
than interest due at maturity or on any date of redemption or repayment, by
wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received by the Paying Agent in writing not less than 15
calendar days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]


                 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Medium-Term
Notes, having maturities more than nine months from the date of issue (the
"Notes") of the Issuer.  The Notes are issuable under an Indenture, dated as of
September 15, 1995 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and U.S. Trust Company
of Texas, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any successor
trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee
and holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered.  The Issuer has appointed U.S. Trust Company of
Texas, N.A. at its corporate trust office in The City of New York as the paying
agent (the "Paying Agent," which term includes any additional or successor
Paying Agent appointed by the Issuer) with respect to the Notes.  The terms of
individual Notes may vary with respect to interest rates, interest rate
formulas, issue dates, maturity dates, or otherwise, all as provided in the
Indenture.  To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Indenture
are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

                 Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, this Note will
not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face
hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will
not be redeemable or subject to repayment at the option of the holder prior to
maturity.

                 If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note may be
redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer on or after the
Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth on
the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date
of redemption (except as provided below).  If this Note is subject to "Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction," the Initial Redemption Percentage indicated
on the face hereof will be reduced on each anniversary of the Initial
Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction specified on the
face hereof until the redemption price of this Note is 100% of the principal
amount hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of
redemption (except as provided below).  Notice of redemption shall be mailed to
the registered holders of the Notes designated for redemption at their
addresses as the same shall appear on the Note register not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, subject to all the
conditions and provisions of the Indenture.  In the event of redemption of this
Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the amount of the unredeemed portion
hereof shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof; but in any event, the principal amount of the Note remaining
outstanding after redemption must be an Authorized Denomination (as defined
below).

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note may be redeemed in
accordance with the terms of any Extension Notice, as defined below, sent to
the holder hereof as described below.





                                       6

                 If so indicated on the face of this Note, this Note will be
subject to repayment at the option of the holder on the Optional Repayment Date
or Dates specified on the face hereof on the terms set forth herein.  On any
Optional Repayment Date, this Note will be repayable in whole or in part in
increments of $1,000 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be
repaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to the date of
repayment (except as provided below).  For this Note to be repaid at the option
of the holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive at its corporate trust
office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, at least 30 but not
more than 60 days prior to the date of repayment, (i) this Note with the form
entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" below duly completed or (ii) a telegram,
telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national
securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or
a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States setting forth the
name of the holder of this Note, the principal amount hereof, the certificate
number of this Note or a description of this Note's tenor and terms, the
principal amount hereof to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect
repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note, together
with the form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, will be
received by the Paying Agent not later than the fifth Business Day after the
date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, that
such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective
if this Note and form duly completed are received by the Paying Agent by such
fifth Business Day.  Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof
shall be irrevocable.  In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a
new Note or Notes for the amount of the unpaid portion hereof shall be issued
in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof; provided,
however, that the principal amount of such Note or Notes must be an Authorized
Denomination.

                 If so indicated on the face of this Note, the Issuer has the
option to extend the Original Maturity Date hereof for one or more periods of
one or more whole years (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the
Final Maturity Date specified on the face hereof and in connection therewith to
establish a new interest rate and new redemption provisions for the Extension
Period.

                 The Issuer may exercise such option by notifying the Paying
Agent of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the
Original Maturity Date or, if the maturity hereof has already been extended,
prior to the maturity date then in effect (an "Extended Maturity Date"), such
notice to be accompanied by the form of the Extension Notice referred to below.
No later than 38 days prior to the Original Maturity Date or an Extended
Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, a "Maturity Date"), the Paying Agent
will mail to the holder hereof a notice (the "Extension Notice") relating to
such Extension Period, first class mail, postage prepaid, setting forth (a) the
election of the Issuer to extend the maturity of this Note; (b) the new
Extended Maturity Date; (c) the interest rate applicable to the Extension
Period; and (d) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the Extension
Period, including the date or dates on which, the period or periods during
which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the
Extension Period.  Upon the mailing by the Paying Agent of an Extension Notice
to the holder of this Note, the maturity hereof shall be extended
automatically,





                                       7
   8
and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next
paragraph, this Note will have the same terms it had prior to the mailing of
such Extension Notice.

                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 10:00 A.M., New
York City time, on the twentieth calendar day prior to the Maturity Date in
effect immediately preceding the mailing of the applicable Extension Notice (or
if such day is not a Business Day, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City
time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day), the Issuer may, at its
option, revoke the interest rate provided for in such Extension Notice and
establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Paying
Agent to send notice of such higher interest rate to the holder of this Note by
first class mail, postage prepaid, or by such other means as shall be agreed
between the Issuer and the Paying Agent.  Such notice shall be irrevocable.
All Notes with respect to which the Maturity Date is extended in accordance
with an Extension Notice will bear such higher interest rate for the Extension
Period, whether or not tendered for repayment.

                 If the Issuer elects to extend the maturity hereof, the holder
of this Note will have the option to require the Issuer to repay this Note on
the Maturity Date in effect immediately preceding the mailing of the applicable
Extension Notice at a price equal to the principal amount hereof plus any
accrued and unpaid interest to such date.  In order for this Note to be so
repaid on such Maturity Date, the holder hereof must follow the procedures set
forth above for optional repayment, except that the period for delivery of this
Note or notification to the Paying Agent shall be at least 25 but not more than
35 days prior to the Maturity Date in effect immediately preceding the mailing
of the applicable Extension Notice and except that if the holder hereof has
tendered this Note for repayment pursuant to this paragraph he may, by written
notice to the Paying Agent, revoke any such tender for repayment until 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the twentieth calendar day prior to the Maturity
Date then in effect (or, if such day is not a Business Day, until 3:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the immediately succeeding Business Day).

                 Interest payments on this Note will include interest accrued
to but excluding the Interest Payment Dates or the Maturity Date (or any
earlier redemption or repayment date), as the case may be.  Unless otherwise
provided on the face hereof, interest payments for this Note will be computed
and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

                 In the case where the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity
Date (or any redemption or repayment date) does not fall on a Business Day,
payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal otherwise payable on such
date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment
Date or on the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment date), and no
interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date (or any redemption or repayment
date) to such next succeeding Business Day.

                 This Note and all the obligations of the Issuer hereunder are
direct, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank without preference or
priority among themselves and pari passu with all other existing and future
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer, subject to certain
statutory exceptions in the event of liquidation upon insolvency.

                 This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or
exchange hereof, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, is issuable only
in fully registered form, without coupons, and is issuable only in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof
("Authorized Denominations").

                 The Trustee has been appointed registrar for the Notes, and
the Trustee will maintain at its office in The City of New York a register for
the registration and transfer of Notes.  This Note may be transferred at the
aforesaid office of the Trustee by surrendering this Note for cancellation,
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the
holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Trustee shall
issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new
Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions and having a like aggregate
principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Trustee will not be
required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been
called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
Notes being redeemed in part, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note if the holder thereof has exercised his right, if any, to require the
Issuer to repurchase such Note in whole or in part, except the portion of such
Note not required to be repurchased, or (iii) to register the transfer of or
exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Indenture
with respect to the redemption of Notes.  Notes are exchangeable at said office
for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal
amount having identical terms and provisions.  All such exchanges and transfers
of Notes will be free of charge, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection
therewith.  All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and executed
by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized
in writing.  The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange
or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results
from such exchange or transfer.

                 In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced
or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or
destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and
such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be
delivered to the Trustee, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Issuer
in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so
destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or
stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Issuer that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon





                                       9
   10
receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them.  All expenses and
reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the
preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the
owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

                 In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes, as
defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal
hereof and the interest accrued hereon, if any, may be declared, and upon such
declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and
subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

                 It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain
conditions, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes of all series affected (voting as a single class), by notice
to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect
to the Notes of such series and its consequences, except a Default in the
payment of principal of or interest on any Note or in respect of a covenant or
provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected.  Upon any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist, and no Event of Default with respect to the
Notes of such series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.

                 If the face hereof indicates that this Note is subject to
"Modified Payment upon Acceleration," then (i) if the principal hereof is
declared to be due and payable as described in the preceding paragraph, the
amount of principal due and payable with respect to this Note shall be limited
to the aggregate principal amount hereof multiplied by the sum of the Issue
Price specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate
principal amount) plus the original issue discount amortized from the Interest
Accrual Date to the date of declaration, which amortization shall be calculated
using the "interest method" (computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect on the date of declaration), (ii) for the
purpose of any vote of securityholders taken pursuant to the Indenture prior to
the acceleration of payment of this Note, the principal amount hereof shall
equal the amount that would be due and payable hereon, calculated as set forth
in clause (i) above, if this Note were declared to be due and payable on the
date of any such vote and (iii) for the purpose of any vote of securityholders
taken pursuant to the Indenture following the acceleration of payment of this
Note, the principal amount hereof shall equal the amount of principal due and
payable with respect to this Note, calculated as set forth in clause (i) above.


                 The Indenture contains provisions which provide that, without
prior notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend the
Indenture and the Notes of any series with the written consent of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of all series
affected by such supplemental indenture (all such series voting as one class),
and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of
all series affected thereby (all such series voting as one class) by





                                       10
   11
written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with
any provision of the Indenture or the Notes of such series; provided that,
without the consent of each Holder of the Notes of each series affected
