La Quinta Inn Tampa-Near Busch Gardens - Tampa

King sized bed room was a nice change. Should upgrade the other rooms to make the hotel even better

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

even though it is directly across the street from Busch Gardens....the actual entrance is a good 8 to 10 walking blocks from the hotel....it took me about 15 minutes to walk....not bad at all if you don't want to pay for parking.......the hotel was clean and the beds were oh so comfortable... I enjoyed my 3 day stay there... the best part is that it […] is very close to the main eating establishments on Fowler Avenue... Read more

Don't bother with this place terrible room! Moment we walked into the room we were overcome by the smell of smoke and mold. Told the clerk at the desk and she offered another room but, we decided to spend 20 bucks more and found a Hilton.

I liked the fact that this was on the same block as the entrance to Busch Gardens. Greeter was nice. Easy to check in. Door to hotel would not close without lots of force. Location is very poor area in the Hood

The Breakfast attendant was very polite. She answered questions about the beach that was nearby that I wanted to go to. It is a plesaure to know that some people take pride in their job. On the other hand, when I checked in there was a bit of confusion about my room being non-smoking. Eventually the check-in clerk told me that he had found a non-smoking […] room for me. The only thing they still had to do was put more towels in the room. So I went willingly to the room. After getting in the room, the clerk called to ask if everything was okay. I told him yes because I didn't need any extra towels. He had told me that they had already put more towels in there. While in the room a little later, I could smell smoke coming from the adjoining room. I ended up putting towels down under the crack on the adjoining door to stop the smoke smell. Some of my items ended up smelling like smoke anyway. Read more

Not high dollar, but I don't have any specific complaints.

Cable TV not working and did not clean the room between nights.

Good Customer Services, the room was clean, close to park and restaurants, we'll be back

It was good but the room smelled like smoke

Businesses around the hotel help save time when you are thinking of going to Busch gardens and adventure island.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was worth the money. Close to attraction. Very noisy, fire station, police station, next door. Bring ear plugs other than that is was a great stay

room was clean and comfortable and staff was friendly

You will be reminded that you are economizing. Breakfast room appeared like a refugee camp with people rushing for food over each others shoulders!

The location is prefect to the BG. My husband and I walked the mile to the entrance of BG. This place is not anything nice,and it is creepy to stay here. Its a place to sleep and shower for the three days at the parks. The breakfast area was super clean (cleaner then our room). The locals would come in and eat breakfast kinda odd. Stay at your own  […] risk. Read more

The hotel was conveniently located. You could literally walk to Busch Gardens. Room was very comfortable, staff was great. Downside: You were able to hear everything outside the room, every step, people's conversations, maintenance, kids screaming. etc. Also, we asked for a non-smoking room, and as soon as we walked in the room smelled like complete […] smoke and we were unable to change to another room because the hotel was completely booked. My clothes came back smelling like smoke and it was a disappointment. Other than that everything else was good! Read more

PHOTOS LOOKE GREAT..BUT HOTEL WAS NOT !! IT WAS DIRTY !!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First of all the room smelled like smoke all over and inside the linen. The room next door to me I could hear everything the person next door was saying and the coughing at night was keeping me from sleeping. It was the most awful stay i have had in any hotel by far. Awful experience.

weak breakfast

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was in a very good location very close to busch gardens but that was the only good thing. The room we were given smelled like smoke being non-smokers it was impossible to sleep thru. Felt like you were choking. We had booked had booked a non-smoking room and when we called front desk they said they couldn't change our room even though it was not […] what we paid for. The continental breakfast was nothing more then cereal and waffles. Overall I would say it'd be a better idea to sleep in your car. Read more

I always stay at this LaQuinta whenever I visit Tampa....the location is perfect and they keep the hotel very well maintained. The customer service was extremely friendly, warm, and welcoming. The only thing I would say is the breakfast was a little lacking this time, but it was still okay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was very friendly, the room was clean, but the building itself could use a little facelift.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very upset with the rooms. Got there and it smelled like paint, the beds were not two doubles as promised.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel staff was nice and efficient. We got checked in quickly and when we could not locate a remote control for the TV, they were very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, however, the outside of the building needs work. The people staying near us were extremely loud at all hours of the night. We woke up to beer cans and trash in the hallways […] and elevator. The hotel is next door to a police station, so we heard emergency sirens along with car alarms and other noises we couldn't make out. If you're staying for Busch Gardens, you can't get much closer. You can see the rides from the hotel. The area surrounding the hotel leaves a lot to be desired though. We tried a restaurant for dinner, however, we were never seated so we went to another and that one was filthy. We travel quite a bit and can usually make the best of any situation, however, we would most definitely not stay here again. Read more

The hotel is a bit threadbare. Tired and not real clean. The location is fine for Busch Gardens, but that's not why we stopped there. If you are just passing through you might want a different location.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Where do I begin....we arrived Friday afternoon so we were able to see the neighborhood surrounding the hotel and it was definetely not what we expected. We checked in to a non-smoking king room only to find that someone (many someones) had smoked in the room. Immediately gave my husband and I a headache and we had to have them come in that night and […] spray a commercial deodorizer all over the room. Night two was no better....the toilet handle broke and we had to flush it manually until the morning and then the toilet seat slid off the base. We reported it the next morning and they came right away and fixed the handle but never fixed the seat. They also never cleaned our room that day and we found a fingernail in the sheets. The front desk folks were very nice and very accomodating and they comped us one night free, but I will never stay there again. One the bright side they did have a nice breakfast layout and the IT guy was very helpful when we couldn't get Wifi in the room. Read more

well it was good till they assigned me my room and someone was already in it. very thin walls, i could hear everything! surrounding neighborhood not the greatest but close to theme park which was the goal. friendly staff. everything seemed clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms were not clean, dirty pillow cases, and dirty sheets. AC units breaking apart, broken lamps. Was not happy with it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

When I booked the hotel, I requested a king size bed and when we got to the room there were 2 double beds. The front desk did not mention that we were not getting what we requested. The door to our room would not shut all the way. It shut in the middle where the lock was but the top and bottom were warpped and would not close all the way, we had to […] kick it to get it closed. The room was very musty and smelled like we were giving a smoking room and they tried to cover up the smell, which got worse as the night went on. I stay at LaQuinta whenever I go out of town and this was not one of my better experiences. Read more

Ive stayed at multiple la quinta and this one by far was the worse. The checking in and out process was fine but the cleanliness and the comfort was horrible, first the beds were very soft, the pillows were very small and hard, the a/c did not work so it was very uncomfortable trying to sleep, which didnt happen by the way. Next, the water did not get […] hot at all, did not feel clean at all after the shower, couldn't get a nice clean shave. The only bonus to this la quinta is the location and the price, which now I know why was so cheap. Will not recommend or ever stay at this location again Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Only draw back to this hotel is the location. However, it is very close to Busch Gardens, so maybe not too bad. There is also a police station right next door, which made me worry on the noise factor. There was none! The new rooms were spectacular and very clean. This is a great bargain.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Could have been a lot better... A lot cleaner!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is one of the best La Quinta's I've stayed in. The staff was very friendly - one even went out of his way to remove a convenience item the hotel had left in my room after a previous guest (kid "play pen"). The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was a little sparse, but I was just grabbing and going anyway as I was in town for […] a business event. The only thing I didn't like is that the underside of the bed wasn't closed off and my giant cat nearly got stuck under there. :) Read more

The hotel was doing renovations (which we did not know in advance but which did not disturb our stay). On the outside of the 'motel' it was clear that they were lax on clean up and we never saw anyone, for example, with a broom sweeping up. So the outside walkways were dirty and somewhat littered with papers. The lobby and breakfast area were clean […] and the staff was pleasant. The room itself was a little dingy... the toilet seat was missing the 'stops' and was old and dingy. The towels were not the greatest but there were enough of them and the bed and pillows were comfortable. For the price, I felt it was not the best value and I don't think I would stay there again.

We were there for medical reasons. There was no help to get us iinto a 3rd floor rm. The halls were filthy. Looking out a window that looked onto an sort of hall was not nice. The clientele was a bit shady where we were. We have decided not to return ever.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel experience was very convenient. Its located very close to Busch Gardens which is great for families with children. The breakfast was great!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was our second time staying there. Enjoyed the newely painted rooms

The front desk was terrible, I was checked into a room with a broken a/c and no telephone. when I requested another room, I was told they were booked solid and needed to wait and see if they could fix the a/c. Really!!!!???? Eventually a manager came out and gave me a lesser room. That room was dirty and smelled funny, not to mention everything in the […] bathroom was held up by drywall screws. LOL! Run away from this hotel fast! Read more

Disgusting "adult" hair in the bathroom when we arrived. Room Smelled dirty and musty. Carpets were gross! The blankets smelled like they hadn't been cleaned in some time. Lots of homeless people in area. Not a good area at all! right next door to a police station. Police sirens through out the night.Cigarette burns on the chairs, carpets, and the bathtub. […] Breakfast was good! Staff were friendly! Read more
