Poor to Average
Our second time staying at this property, due to its vicinity to the Moffit Cancer Center. Last room has small roaches. This room has visible stains on the ceiling (likely from a previous water leak). Little to no hot water in the morning before our appointment at Moffit. All female staff during check in are not too friendly. Gentlman that checked me out this morning was the friendliest of all.

trip to busch gardens
The employees at La Quinta were fantastic. Between the ladies at the front desk and the breakfast workers, they were happy to help with a smile. Unfortunately, this property is more of a motel than a hotel. My hotel door would get stuck and not close without a firm push. My bigger problem is that I found a few cockroaches in my room while I was there.

Staff was nice, hotel could use attention.
Staff was awesome, very friendly and helpful, if we stayed again it would be because of them.
Pictures on hotel.com are NOT what the hotel looks like. Outside needs updating / modernization, no hot tub, game room was closed, rooms could use some attention to detail (missing door hinges, paint drips on floor, etc.). Across the street from Busch Gardens which was cool to see the fireworks, but still need transportation to get to the gate. Centralized area which was nice.

Pleasantly surprised
Very good accommodation for the cost of this place right next door to Busch Gardens plenty of parking the breakfast is plentiful nice waffles and pastries and even the patties were nice and warm the room was ample had everything you need coffee was available I chose this one as it's scored better than the other ones nearer to the airport so was happy to be slightly out of the area that evening staff were very accommodated and helpful however the morning staff were quite rude had an attitude and was not very helpful I would recommend this hotel just a shame the morning staff were hopefully having just one off day

Overall, a very solid place. Many dining options nearby and right next to Busch Garden Tampa Bay so good location. But place itself is outdated and breakfast was okay.

The location is great for Busch Gardens and the fireworks. But the hotel itself is shabby (even though it was recently updated). The roaches in the bathroom were a serious deterrent.
