This is the place from where you can start your day in Bush Gardens. I have been here several times before. Maybe I was just lucky enough, but I always get a clean room and there were no problems at all. Breakfast is poor, if you want to have something better, try restaurants in close neighborhood or directly in Bush... More

I stay in a lot of la Quinta's since I travel with dogs. This one is the dirtiest, scariest one ever! Air conditioners leaked, rooms stunk. "Breakfast"? Um, a few boiled eggs, and horribly burnt coffee, stale toast--all that was available, and most of it was gone well before 9 AM the time it was supposed to end. No creamers... More

I've enjoyed staying at La Quinta hotels across the country and expected a similar experience here. Perhaps the $55 per night for a suite should have tipped me off. We walked into the room and the sour smell of the stained carpet was the first turn-off. The furniture was filthy and we wouldn't have dared to sit in it. Asked... More

This hotel is just about the cheapest option that exists...in America. It is literally right next to Busch gardens. If you happen to be going up just to enjoy the park and don't want to pay extra for parking, then this hotel is the perfect spot. Its like a lodge, its a place to put your head down after a... More

We stayed in this hotel two nights and have no complaints. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Bed linens were new and tasteful. There is a little bit of road noise (doors are outside entrance), but not loud enough to be a bother. Free breakfast included - waffles, yogurts, bagels, etc. There's a huge breakfast room, but it's a big... More

After staying in Florida several times and always having been lucky enough to stay in wonderful hotels, with superb food and lovely people we were bought down to earth with a huge ‘bump’ when we were unfortunate enough to book just one night in the La Quinta Inn Tampa near Busch Gardens. The place has a grimy uncared for look... More

There were problems in the past with this place so I started to go to the more expensive one by USF. I was running low on funds so I decided to give this La Quinta a "second" chance. I was happy I did! They used to have a policy that very small dogs (under 15 lbs) were only allowed. This... More

We stayed here from Sept 29-Oct 1, for the second time and it was great! We chose this location because it's close to Busch Gardens (the fence to the park is across the street!) and because they allow dogs. My dogs love their free waffels in the morning! (When we travel with our dogs we only use La Quinta.) The... More

I will start with my biggest complaint about my stay here: the free internet/wifi was totally unusable. 1st night it connected just fine, but the connection was unbearably slow. This was to the point where it was unusable, beyond the standard "well it's a hotel offering free internet, its going to be slow" I expect. The 2nd and 3rd day,... More
