Fantastic location to Busch Gardens and other attractions. Room needed new carpeting. Super value for the $. Wonderful and helpful staff. Great location right next to Busch Gardens. No problem with security. Right next door to the police station. An upgraded older facility where everything was nice except maybe needed new carpeting. Highly recommend for a value hotel.

Our hotel was right across from Busch Gardens. The room was clean, but the carpet was a little worn and not tacked down properly by the bathroom. The people at the hotel were all very friendly. The breakfast provided was good.

As we were going up to our room there was a window broken in one of the rooms, which was an unsafe feeling, considering the neighborhood. When we got to the room, it had a strange smell, which you got used to after awhile. There was hair in the tub, and seeing as we hadn't showered, it was obvious it hadn't been cleaned well. There weren't enough towels in the room. When they "cleaned" the room the next day, they didn't change the sheets on the bed, which we wanted done. I could tell by a mark on one of the sheets, it was still there. Very dusty, lots of allergy attacks. The pillows were horrible. The continental breakfast was a joke, the gravy for the biscuits and gravy was cold and the coffee tasted like mud, so thank goodness there was a Dunkin Donuts nearby. There were flies everywhere in the room where the breakfast was. Needless to say, we didn't go back for the breakfast the next day. It felt more like a soup kitchen. When we asked the cleaning lady for more towels the second day, she said she would bring them when she's done, never did. There were people slamming their doors all night long, which isn't the hotels fault, but it did add to the "ambiance" of the whole stay. All in all, it was dirty, and not worth the money. But the location was good, since we were there for Busch Gardens.

If you want a "party" motel, this is the one for you. When we checked in, there was a lot of activity around the pool. We thought, "OK, people are on vacation, time to have a little fun and let loose". The pool was supposed to close at 11PM (according to the posted sign). However, there were kids and adults running and screaming at all hours, and not just around the pool. When we went for the free breakfast in the morning, there were empty beer cases all over the motel. This continued to be the case during our entire stay. We were awakened at all hours. Additionally, the "suite" that we booked was not an oversized room as depicted on LaQuinta's website but two connecting rooms. Also absent was the hot tub depicted on the website. Breakfast items ran out and not replenished. Friendly staff, but will NEVER stay here again!!!

If you are simply looking for a cheap place to spend the night before (or after) your visit to Busch Gardens, this would be a good place to consider. It is indeed very close to the park, not quite walking distance but almost. The neighborhood is OK; not unsafe but quite plain. The room was a little run down but basically clean, the beds were OK. The free breakfast was surprisingly good. We wanted a non-smoking room; the first room we got had a smoking smell, but the front desk was apologetic and the next room was fine.

If you want amenities or a fully new updated room, you will be disappointed. But if you want a cheap "family" place to stay extremely close to Busch Gardens (and a nice free breakfast), then consider this place. It's a 2- or 3-star type accommodation.

If you want a hotel that is close to everything within walking distance and not going to stay in the hotel much, than this is the place. The staff is very friendly. The continental breakfast is pretty good, but no denny's. Busch Gardens is within walking distance but is a a long walk because you have to walk around to the other side of the park to get in. Just pay the $8.00 for parking, trust me. You will really enjoy Busch Gardens and all the places that are not to far to drive to from the hotel as well. You definetly will not go hungry with all the eating places very close by to walk to. There is a all you can eat place right next to the hotel and every place to eat you can think of on the street. The negitives are 1- the pool is not heated, 2- The carpet s very dusty, although their was a carpet cleaner their the day that we were leaving. 3- The air conditioning unit would sometimes shut off in the middle of the night( but it worked well when it did not shut off and it did not do it too much. 4-there is a security guard there but I think she is just thier on the weekends. 5- you are kind of close to the street, but you probably won't here anything if you have your air running at night. I would recomend staying here if you want to see what tampa has to offer. Places close by that you might want to check out are the dog track, Busch gardens, the aqaurium downtown, YBOR city and the shops down thier, the beaches on Gulf BLVD. The LOWLY zoo, the science center, and whatever else.

The continental breakfast is satup in a lrge room for that purpose and is well stocked and comfortable Make you owen Belguin waffles are great. Parking gets a little cramped later in the evening, as with most places at the price. The room wsas spacious and clean Everything worked and worked well. We spent the first two days of our extended weekend at at days inn in Orlando, The La Quinta Same price after paying resort fees in orlando) was head and shoulders above the other. Compared to our hotel in Orlando the door unlocked easily everytime with the original pass card, the romm was spacious clean and well maintained, the tv reception was crystal clear, wireless internet connected immediately first and every time and was as fast as my cable internet at home,room was well stocked with coffee/coffeee maker, iron/ironing board, plety of toiletries and a great continental breakfast in a medium sized banquet hall designed for that purpose with proffesional beluin waffle irons to make your own waffles fresh as well as fruit, pastries and plenty of coffee adn fruit juices. Overall this hotel was a very pleasant stay and improvement over our previous two days in Orlando.

Very close to Busch Gardens. Very friendly and courteous staff. Mattresses could have been more comfortable. Traveler going to Busch gardens, can't beat the location. The breakfast was more than an average continental style breakfast. There is a pool and a game room so its good for kids as well.

The hotel was not horrible ... but it was a very inconsistent experience. The breakfast was crowded and the choices were poor. The room was loud and uncomfortable and over crowded. The Internet connection didn't work all the time and was slow. All in all I was not impressed with the hotel.

Location - Right near the Busch garden. Looked like a road side motel, not luxurious. A good value for the price. Excellent location for anybody looking to go to Busch Gardens.
