Great Place to Stay

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.

very convenient and good value

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.

Outstanding hotel

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!

Great Value

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

The rooms were clean, and close to walk NO FRILLS

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.

Should've paid more

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 airport room for the money

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.

DIRTY floors!!!!

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

Great room for the money

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.

Needs Major Improvements

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.

Great room for the money

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:)

Great room for Local and Price

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
