La Quinta Inn Tampa Airport - Tampa 27.95997, -82.52478

Arrived afteer travelling on 2 flights from England - so pretty jet lagged. Only stayed the one night before moving on after a nights rest - it was ideal for this. The rooms were basic and looked a little tired but they were clean. Breakfast in the morning is complimentary and was quite nice for a continental style breakfast. When we asked about somewhere near to eat the hotel offered to take us to somewhere nearby and pick us up again when we were ready. We did this and they drove us to the international plaza where we ate a very nice meal and was picked up and returned to the hotel - a very nice welcome for 2 jet lagged guests!

It wasn't too bad although it is near the end of the runway. The planes stop around 11:00 p.m. and start flying around 7:00 a.m. I had stayed in other hotels in St. Augustine and Ocala and this was our least favorite. For all purposes it was reasonable but I personally like a nicer place with more amenities and would pay more. It was clean but simple. Staff was good!

Just about as bad as it gets..but ok for an early flight if you check in late & leave early as it is close to the car return for alamo and national..that is its only saving grace

Hotel was clean and nice. Arrived at 3 AM and staff was most obliging by locating me in a quiet room for a late wakeup. Room was well-appointed and nicely arranged. One of the closest hotels to Tampa airport. Only a couple miles from Best Buy, Walmart, Target, gas station, etc.

Not bad. Really close to Raymond James. We stay here when we go to USF games.

The complimenty breakfest was awful. we paid for a non smoking room and you can tell that it was

All was ok except that the airport shuttle only runs hourly at the 0:45 time. It's only 5 minutes to the airport, but one could wait an hour in each direction.

The room was right by the airport but it was very loud. Not just from planes going overhead but also from wheeled luggage and carts rolling by all night. And a group of people thought it would be fun to go swimming and scream around 4:00 a.m. The hotel staff was nice and helpful but we wouldn't stay here again.

I was very happily suprised at how quiet it was, directly next to the airport. Very well kept hotel, staff was great.

We had an early flight out of Tampa and chose to spend the night before at the LaQuinta Inn. We got a fine room for a low price. The staff was polite; the room was clean and comfortable.

The initial greeting was courteous and professional. The room was clean and smelled fresh. The continental breakfast was beyond our expectations with a number of choices, including fresh fruit and muffins. The staff was helpful and considerate when we asked for directions and an extra hour to check out. We would look for a La Quinta Inn for our next stay.

Totally satisfied. It is the money's worth.

I will say the location is great and the shuttle driver was extremely patient and friendly. Other than that, the front desk attendant I will not state his name but it starts with a 'Jay' and ends with a 'son' was rude, non hospitable and pretty close to no help at all. Luckily we only had a 5 hour overnight stay between flights so it wasn't a huge deal to have great service. Maybe it's just a Florida thing where people aren't friendly at all, a couple of other guests were also rude, oh well. The room wasn't anything special, small, but had all the amenities (coffee, towels, shampoo, soap... um well that was it, but it was enough for a quick refresher). The room was really smokey smelling, kind of gross, but the bed was comfortable. There was a decent breakfast in the morning but nothing fancy, did the job. With that said, the price was ok, and it was close to the airport. So if you just need a place to spend a couple of hours, should work for you but not a vacation hangout by any means.

If your looking for no-frills accomidations right at Tampa Airport, this is the place.

Stayed in this hotel for my overnight flight overseas. Unfortunately my plane got in a little late (bad weather), and I was at the hotel for a total for 5 hours. Shuttle picked me up after I called them from luggage pickup. Comfortable for what I need, but would not recommend for more than a day or two. Breakfast was ok, had milk, fruit and a muffin on the go. Overall a good neighborhood, went to IHOP for dinner (24x7). Will be staying again for return flight home.

We needed a quick sleep-over before an early morning flight, the LaQuinta had a great room with very easy access available, the wake-up call was prompt and the whole experience was very positive.

great stop for a night before a cruise. good value for a one night stop. nothing fancy, but clean, nice, and more than adequate. would stay again.

I am a physician. In different times I have stayed in very expensive hotels. My wife and I were going to travel to Tampa, Florida to look at a practice where I might move. I just felt that we needed to be sensible and not waste money on a hotel room that we did not need to spend. I looked at the Hotels.com list--saw basically $50 to $200 plus. I figured the expensive ones would be lovely but what about the cheap ones. I read the reviews of some of the cheapest hotels and found clearly a mixture of positive and negative--I was a little uncomfortable. I then looked at the LaQuinta site--already unsure. I read a couple of pages of reviews of LaQuinta hotels whereever but then I found 5 reviews that specifically mentioned the Tampa International Airport hotel. All were very good. I thought this clearly signalled a more positive reaction. We checked in last night. Do not mistake my understanding. This is not a 5-star hotel. At the ridiculously low price we paid, however, the location with respect to the airport is great, no troublemakers driving around outside, quiet after the evening flight cycle, room spotless, even smelled very distinctly of a lemon oil? The linens were clean. The furniture was well-taken care of and the bathroom--my personal nemesis in low-end hotels--was basic but obviously CLEAN. We will be back here in 2 days for one more night prior to flying out of Tampa. As a 57-year old husband and father, I would absolutely recommend that anyone wanting a clean and comfortable hotel come here. Forget the Hiltons, etc. They have nothing on this place. (The internet is free!) Come for one night or two weeks--very upscale restaurant "Oceans xxx?" just 2 blocks away and others apparently nearby. Great place to use as your base for your business or your families visit to Tampa. Just 1 1/2 miles or so from the Raymond James Stadium--you could walk there! Save your money for something else and enjoy your stay here!

Minutes from the airport via free shuttle. Clean, secure room. Perfect for a night's stay before an early morning flight.

Outstanding location NO SIDEWALKS. We walked to food, stadium and Mall across the street. I felt safe as it was away from the less attractive areas like a few of the other hotels. I am so glad the Howard Johnson fell through as it was surrounded by strip clubs. The pool was always clean and all the walkways were clean. The security felt good as they had cameras on the parking lot and walkways. This is a bed and comfortable no frill atmosphere. No spas or whirlpool. The service desk was friendly and helpful. Great place for a place to sleep. We had a king bed with a desk and fridge.

Two major, and one minor negative impressions were left by this hotel for me: 1. "Their" shuttle picked us up and, once enroute to the hotel, the driver informed me there would be a per-person charge for the ride (adding a noticable amount to the over-all cost of the hotel). Personally, I wouldn't consider our route's distance excessive or out of the norm either. --We stayed at a different hotel at the beginning of our vacation and that hotel's shuttle was provided as a free service. 2. Our initial room smelled heavily of smoke. We were promtly given a second room which smelled fine. --But the carpet was very dirty; leaving the bottom of my white socks a dark brown color by the time I took them off for bed. 3. Just be aware that there's no elevator. It's only 2 floors though. Not that big of a deal for us. But if you are traveling with heavy bags or something, just be aware of this. Had I known of these facts, I would've certainly paid 25-40 bucks more for a higher quality hotel in the area.

Great location if you have an early morning flight to catch out of Tampa International. Hotel is across from a major Tampa Mall, hotel shuttle starts at 4:30am.

We stayed for 2 nights. The carpet was so dirty I couldn't let my kids walk on it barefooted.

We didn't have trouble finding the hotel. There was a mall nearby and a restaurant also. The rooms were nice and roomy. Their service desk was very helpful. Being right across the street from the airport was not a problem. It far exceeded my expectations.

First the room did not have a refrigerator nor a microwave in it, pool closed by Health Department, no working Ice Machines, one coke machine with "Coca Cola" Products was out of order as well. The price was a good rate, however one does expect the amenities like a fridge, microwave and a working pool.

Hotel was really better than I thought. Close to the airport. Schuttle was very convinent. I wish I could of stayed longer to jump in the pool:)

Excellent value for money microwave fridge and plenty of room all very clean Would definately stay there again

great , right by TPA, shuttle service to airport, mall across the street, highways down the road,IHOP next door!! highly recommend for any guest with business in the Tampa Area

I recommand this hotel. Check in and check out is done in seconds. Customer service is wonderful, free Internet, free breakfast and room is cleaned daily....You feel so excited to get to your room. It is really a wonderful experience. Definitely, it is much much better than hotel in its level. and most importantely, the price is great for the kind of service we got. I will definitely go back to Laquinta.

Overall this is a good hotel in a good location, clean, reasonably priced. The only major issue I had is that they don't have a computer terminal available for guest use, which in this day and age I just expect as a matter of course. For me, that's a deal breaker -- I wouldn't stay there again. However, if you don't care about not having a computer to use, it's otherwise a good hotel.

NICE ROOM - GREAT POOL - GOOD FOOD

I found it fun since I had gone on a short vacation to Tampa. 4 nights spent at this hotel, found it to be pretty cool. Even if my camera got hit with humidity as I exited my room to the outdoors. But I would say keep your camera away from the air conditioner, it worked quite well. As I read other reviews I was at least aware I needed quarters for the vending machines, which was useful if I didn't want to visit the IHOP next door.

The hotel is old and has no personality. Rooms are small and bathrooms are tiny. Breakfast was minimal and not appetizing. I would only stay here again if I had to do so.

The room met expectations for an average airport motel. However, for two reasons I will never stay at this hotel again. First, the nonsmoking room reeked of smoke. We complained to management and they said that it was probably because there's a smoking room next door to ours (!!??) and a smoker was probably just smoking outside. No, no one smoking outside and it reeked the whole time we were there. Second, as I'm unloading the car, I hear vandals on the property next door breaking into a building. I alerted management who called police. I slept terribly all night because of this. Without these two things, it's probably worth the price, but I think I'll be spending a few more bucks in the future to get a good night's rest.

I am on a tight budget but needed to attend a 2-day seminar. LaQuinta left me pleasantly surprized. I was expecting "cheap". What I got was "clean, convenient and affordable" with all the important amenities.

great price, had a late flight into Tampa airport, only a few minutes away. Very nice, clean room. would stay again.

Easy access to the airport and great value.

I like this hotel. It's right across from the Tampa mall and the airport
