To say that this hotel includes breakfast it's a very big lie. It has an area that looks from the seventies, it has 3 or 4 food items and on top of that a cup for tips... and you still need to go somewhere for breakfast.

I stayed at this motel and had a very positive experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and well equipped for a short stay. Check-in was quick and the staff was friendly and attentive at all times. The location is convenient and the atmosphere is quiet, making it ideal for resting. Overall, it is an excellent option for the price and comfort, and I would definitely recommend it for short stays.

The first room we went to had buckled floors and chunks missing out of the vinyl floor. The second room we were given had filthy floors but I will say that the linens were fresh and clean. Most of the staff was friendly. The maid was non English speaking and came at 10:15 while I was trying to get all my children ready for a day at Busch gardens. When I told her we were leaving shortly, she had left. When we came back home at 8p.m. From the park, our room was just as we left it and the staff never freshened anything up nor made the beds. Breakfast was sub-par with no availability to the waffle machine and the pancakes were raw when they came out of the conveyer belt. This property should be advertised as 420 friendly as the fumes in the hallways were ghastly at all times and not conducive for a family friendly visit. It cost me over $500 for two nights and I don’t feel that the property reflects its value for what it cost.

The staff that I interacted with were fantastic. Both the man at the front desk and the woman inside the breakfast area were very professional and welcoming. The breakfast was fine. There was a good variety of items. It also appears that the room has a fresh coat of paint and newer flooring. Besides a spitball on the bottom of the wall and a baseball-sized stain on the comforter, the room seemed clean. The surrounding area does not feel safe -- but there is a police station nearby. There were some maintenance issues. There were rolled up towels outside the room next to our AC unit. The wall thermostat didn't work. The only soap by the sink was in a bottle labeled "shampoo". Also, our bathroom door did not shut easily; it took a little effort to make it shut all the way. But the thing that concerned me the most: our room door wasn't flush with the frame when it shut. We didn't notice until we went to bed, turned out all the lights, and saw quite a bit of light coming through the bottom right of the door. It was definitely wide enough for roaches to come through (although we didn't see any). Another guest at the hotel stood outside our room early in the morning to smoke a cigarette, and we smelled the smoke in our room. Hopefully the hotel will work a little harder on maintenance. Again, the staff were great.

Moldy room, mold on the lamp shade & floor swelling with murky water outside of the shower upon arrival. Made my white sock black & wet in the line of the floor crack. Unbelievable moldy musty smell in the whole room directly across from the pool, would never reccomend. And the waffle machine was broken, the pancake automated machine was putting out spaghetti looking pancakes, it was just a mess. For $50-75 more just go to a Hilton for your own health safety

Excellent choice to stay! The customer service is excellent; everyone at the front desk and housekeeping was very friendly. The location is great, as it is just a 15-minute walk from the hotel lobby to the main admission entrance of Busch Gardens. The breakfast is varied and tasty. In addition, the facilities are in good condition and everything is kept very clean, including the pool area. Highly recommended! Constructive feedback regarding bathroom humidity I would like to suggest a small area of improvement for the rooms. The bathroom area experiences high humidity, which has left some stains on the ceiling and walls. While this was not a major problem for us, the hotel might want to consider using anti-humidity or anti-fungal paint to keep the area looking fresh.

The flooring in the room was damaged and should have been replaced, the seams in the flooring raised as a floor had been wet. It was coming apart in sea. I didn’t recognize it at first cause who looks at the floor, but after being in the room for about 20 minutes, your eyes there was an issue with the floor shouldn’t have been given to a guest stay. Not have been given to a guest.

If you just need a place to stay the night after a long day at Busch Gardens, then this place is pretty nice for that. It’s super close distance wise from the park. However, the breakfast was a joke. There was no waffle mix, and the pancakes being put out by the machine were very uncooked. Also, the worker during the breakfast shift wasn’t the nicest, when I asked about the pancakes being undone she answered in a rude manner. Besides that, the room itself was decently clean for the night we spent.

The room itself was beautiful and has everything you need. The staff amazing, we brought our dog and they were so helpful with any questions and accommodations. The building itself is outdated. We unfortunately had some unbearable people a few doors down smoking every 10minutes yelling something and for some reason who thought it was okay to cat call every time I stepped outside which was unpleasant but in no way the hotel’s fault just messed with the experience overall. This hotel is definitely nice for a quick stay, right near the park and 30-45min from the Rays stadium with lots of great food nearby!

Rooms are decent however there was a lot of worn damaged paint areas in the rooms but overall decor was modern and clean. Hallways are very run down and in desperate need of a face lift. Other than that the staff was lovely and the location was ideal for quickly walking to Busch Gardens (however it's not a five minute walk like it looks, there's a huge fenced area you have to walk around so it took us 15 minutes --- for most it would likely take 20-25 minutes to walk between).

Unfortunately, this stay was not 100% pleasant. From time to time I mentioned that they were having a bug issue. This stay was the worse one with the room having bedbugs. They switched rooms for me because the staff is great but the hotel quality is definitely shrinking. Hope they fix it. It’s a great staff that works hard.

The room was extremely dirty when we arrived. We asked for another room which was also dirty. We decided it was best to leave so we checked out within 30 minutes of checking in. We were informed that they couldn't refund any of our fees for our 2 night stay. They also wouldn't refund us for the pet fee even though we canceled our stay. Property is poorly maintained. Base boards were falling off, missing or stapled to the wall. Dirt, dist and hair was all over both rooms we were given. We booked another hotel a few minutes away for less and it was much nicer.

The hotel’s design has a nice aesthetic, and the location is a major highlight. Being in Temple Terrace and directly across from Busch Gardens made it easy to enjoy the park and even catch the atmosphere from nearby events and concerts. That said, there are a few areas where the room could be improved. I stayed in a deluxe room, and while it had a lot of potential, there were some maintenance concerns. The bathroom vent wasn’t properly fitted, leaving a visible opening in the ceiling. The room door didn’t fully seal at the bottom corner, and the microwave was unusually loud after running for a short time. I also did notice a few bugs during my stay, which is something I hope management addresses. Overall, the strengths of the staff, breakfast, and location really stood out to me. With some attention to room maintenance and upkeep, this could easily be an even better stay.

Wasn’t thrilled with my stay. The rooms looked like they had recently had new flooring, but the rooms had a weird odor. After being in the room for awhile I got used to it. But when we left and returned you could smell it again. When I went to take a shower, some black crusty chunks came out from under the drain and the shower water had a sulphur odor. Being that it is a motel style facility, there, and the location, there was a lot of noise from the outside. That’s not the hotels fault, but still contributes to my overall satisfaction of a facility. Overall it was a room with a bed, but wasn’t somewhere I would choose to stay again.

It was a shame the breakfast area was out of order. Since you have space for breakfast in the lobby, the same foods should have been offered there. I also believe the price was too inflated for the time. It's a weekday, and not many tourists are here at this time.

The worst part is the breakfast, they might as well not include it. We did not eat there the menu, DIY waffles, cold boiled eggs (ai opend one and the yolk was blackish, bread and something like OJ..o and ugly looking sausages. My son did not like how anything looked and he can usually eat rocks. On day 2 I had to ask the housekeeper to sweep and mop the floor because it was filthy and I even killed a small roach. I guess you get what you pay for but I hoped for something a bit better considering this is a Wyndam hotel.

I like how close it was to Bush Gardens. The location is good, but there were a lot of sirens throughout the night. Very hard to sleep, that way. I think there is a police department next door. Also, we didn't have enough towels, so we called down and requested an extra one. They said we needed to come down to get them, so we did. When we came back later that day, someone had come into the room and taken all the towels down, so we had to go back down again. Very weird. There was no housekeeping done either. The breakfast was closed because there was a water leak in the kitchen, so they provided bananas, coffee, croissants, and muffins. The rooms weren't very clean. Also, the refrigerator was warm.

Breakfast was closed down by health department. Pool was freezing cold. Hallways were sticky and dirty. Laundry room reeked of mildew. Lots of “suspicious” activity going on in the rooms.

One of the reasons I chose this hotel was the complementary breakfast and there was just a little grab and go option. I know it wasn’t the staff’s fault, they were waiting on an inspection to reopen the breakfast area. But it was disappointing.

My son and I were looking for something close to Busch Gardens for a quick guys trip. This hotel was nothing fancy, but it’s walkable to the park (saved us some money on parking) and clean. We had the breakfast the first day but then the breakfast room was closed the rest of the week due to a water leak. It wasn’t a huge loss as the breakfast was only ok. Standard hotel fare, make your own waffles, cereal, toast. No hot items like eggs and bacon. But the room was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and it was affordable. I’d stay there again if we were going to Busch Gardens.

The rooms smelled musty, were not super clean and were outdated. The breakfast did not have many options and the attendant was pushy. The pool was ok, not super clean and not very many lounge chairs to use. Parking was good, especially the back lot which aligned with level 2 rooms to make it easier.

Do not stay here. The lady working at breakfast just yelled at people. We only ate one day because of it. Staff was not helpful. Room was DIRTY! We went out and bought cleaning supplies to sanitize the room at least a little bit.

Pretty sure they didn’t clean the room thoroughly between stays . There was mascara in the pillow cases , questionable stains on the sheets along with a bunch of hair . Staff did bring me a change of sheets , but had to keep going to get different ones because there were stains on those as well . There was even a vape shoved behind the toilet paper roll . The floor wasn’t swept either . The location was great , and my son loved the pool . Breakfast was anything to brag about either . Probably wouldn’t stay here again .

We had two rooms. The rooms were relatively clean, but the toilet in one was broken. There was no extra bedding in either room, and when my husband went to ask for an extra blanket, he was told there were nine because the hotel was full. Breakfast was awful, with grey sausage and inedible hardboiled eggs.

4 out of the 5 staff members were pleasant. The place is very run down. Our door would not shut unless pushed. We left for the day and came back and our door was open. Didn’t need the key card to get in. The room was very out dated with blood on the wall. Couldn’t be moved due to being full. Police were there when we arrived. Elevators haven’t been vacuumed in weeks or months. Paid for a fridge and microwave and still didn’t have a coffee makers. The breakfast was unsanitary and the staff for breakfast was rude. No waffles just undercooked pancakes. No creamer the first day and milk everyone was using. Construction going on next door that’s very loud. Highly dissatisfied with my stay. I will never book at a La Quinta inn again.

Didn’t see a hot tub, the pool was overflowing all weekend into the hallways, our neighboring room had an individual that continued to walk outside his room and smoke weed. The floor was dirty in our room. Walking to the bed after the shower your feet were filthy.

The front office staff was wonderful, however, the lady in the breakfast area needs to have her attitude checked. I went the wrong direction for the garbage and she stated very loudly "The garbage is on the left". We stayed Fri-Mon and the breakfast on Monday there were no scrambled eggs, very little sausage and when we asked about the eggs we were told the eggs were what was "in the pan, hard boiled". When the sausage was gone on Monday, she simply picked up the pan and started cleaning everything up at 9:15am. Breakfast was supposed to be served until 10am. When you have diabetics staying there relying on food, this is unacceptable plus there were no waffles any of those days. Also, they were blowing leaves at 7:45am right outside our door.

Front desk staff was very nice. However, the room was poorly maintenanced. The floor hadn't been swept. The bathroom was manageable at best. You could hear everything from the other rooms and hallway. Just not a good experience.
- 3/5
Outside of that, the hotel itself was just average. I wouldn’t call it filthy, but it was definitely not very clean. My son’s socks were dirty after walking around the room, and I personally saw two roaches. The room also had a strange odor, to the point where we had to light incense. Breakfast was okay, but on the second day the waffle maker ran out of batter. Lastly, while the hotel is directly across the street from Busch Gardens, the park entrance is not on that side, so you’ll need a short Uber ride or about a 15-minute walk to get to the entrance.

The breakfast choices where the most disappointing. There were too many issues for me to discuss but I will say that having sausages with nothing but cereal or dry waffles, no real cafe choices and horrible coffee was too much for the price I paid for one night.

They would not give back my $20.00 but did give us another room Not satisfied!!

Everything at the inn was great. The breakfast was a little sparce but they are transparent about that ahead of time and it's free. The area is a little sketchy what with a few homeless being a bit aggressive in their panhandling. Nothing the inn can do about that but just be aware.

We complained to the front desk, and while they did move us to another room, the “new” room was only slightly better. Yes, it was cleaner, but it was extremely outdated, poorly maintained, and definitely not worth the price we paid. To make things worse, the “included breakfast” was horrific. The food looked old, tasted terrible, and barely passed as edible. The entire experience felt careless and low-quality. Overall, this was one of the worst stays I’ve ever had, and I would not recommend this inn to anyone.

When I went to bed felt a strong smell, when check the pillow and bed sheet, noted that they were used . Moved myself to sleep across the bottom of the bed but was very uncomfortable, Then moved to the other side of the bed and it was better. Also noted that the bed sheet was place head to the foot of the bed. a real nightmare to say the list. Shame on this hotel. I was directed to the entrance of the building and someone around told me that they did not have elevator, so I had to walk 3 floors with my luggage. Next morning talking with a cafeteria staff told me that they have elevators. But I did not see any. Awful experience.

What didn’t go well was the Air Conditioning unit— obviously it had leaked inside of the room over a period of time and had soaked the floor so badly that it had caused the flooring tiles to buckle up; I stumbled as I attempted to cross over them. The worst part was the odor — it wreaked water damage! I had to air out the room for an hour and keep the A/C unit off the entire night, making for a very uncomfortable experience, to say the very least. I may never stay at a La Quinta again!
- 1/5
What made the experience worse was the staff’s attitude. Rather than being helpful or apologetic, the staff was extremely unprofessional and dismissive when addressing the problem. There was a clear lack of customer service and urgency to resolve a basic issue that should not have occurred in the first place. I would not recommend this location and will not be staying here again.

Beds were very comfortable, rooms were spacious, WiFi worked great. Breakfast was absolutely awful. First morning the waffle makers were on and good but every other day there was premade pancakes that were like rubber. Sausage was cold every morning. Bacon was so thin it crumbled. Eggs were the most edible option. Employee manning breakfast area was rude and mostly watching something or talking to someone on her phone on speaker. Never checked on guests or food. If I stayed here again because of the proximity to Busch gardens I would not go to the breakfast area

The rooms while updated smelled were weird. It was a smell between cigarettes and musky humid smell. After having the AC on for some time and room spray it helped. The floors were disgusting and I mean disgusting. I walked around for a bit without shoes and my feet were black ! The towel in the bathroom for when you come out was black after wiping the floor dry after my kiddos showers. The place has a lot of potential. I can appreciate the updates, and free breakfast which has quite a lot of options and all great. But they really need to clean better. You’re paying a really decent price but they could at least keep the place cleaner.

The price was cheap which is what drew me to stay there. Basically the old adage you get what you pay for so I'm not complaining because going into it with a cheap room I figured it wouldn't be super great. The staff was friendly the breakfast was okay the room smelled like mildew and cleaning supplies and the wood plastic floor was slippery so I took one of the white towels and wipe down the entire floor and the towel was almost black. I'm not complaining because the room was cheap only $131 total for two nights so I didn't expect much. I would stay there again but not with somebody I'm trying to impress LOL.

1. The room stinks of cleaning chemicals 2. The water from the sink smelled bad, I had to use bottled water to brush my teeth. 3. Had to turn the heater off because of the noise coming on when it kicks in. 4. the soap in the shower is terrible, I'm sure that one container will last several years. Great way to save money. You should warn people to bring their own soap. 5. The leftovers and bottle waters I put in the mini fridge froze.

The staff definitely stood out, any request is taken care of, very polite and helpful. This hotel is clean and while taking care of, what is lacking in amenities is made up by all these things.

Very clean , affordable, and less noise . Definitely recommend.

I have seen the reviews about the staff but I had nothing but a positive experience with the staff. The hotel overall and the room is a completely different situation. The grounds need repairs. I am pretty sure the room I stayed in, had the door kicked in at one point. There was definitely roaches that needs to be addressed.

Place is an absolute dump. Bugs in our first room and the second room had bugs and water stains all over the ceiling. Asked for a refund and got stiffed. I left and didn’t even spend the night. Still no refund. Better off sleeping in your car.

When housekeeping came, they didn't change my sheets. The just rotated them. I noticed by a stain on the fitting sheet when i found bugs in my bed and took covers off.They gave me another room for the night. I wasn’t leaving all my stuff in that room. I literally switch the whole bedding from the new room to mine. No help, no im sorry, no anything. So, if you stay there, make a stain on the sheet. Check to make sure its not on a different corner.

We have stayed here several times, overall its a good value and decent place for the price but this stay was very noisy and loud, waking us multiple times through the night. The room also had a musty smell.

I went wirh the family for my daughters bday, our first impression of the room was a rouch in the bathtub. Breakfast was from 7 to 10am we got there at 9am. There wasnt any no more bacon, when we asked the attendant told us they were not putting out anymore. By 9:30am all there was left was toast and cereal.

It wasn't easy access into the hotel with the back gate locked at night and having to U turn my vehicle on the next street to get in, but overall I enjoyed the experience.

The room was a disappointment. The bed was very uncomfortable. The ac made the air and bedding feel damp. While the pictures made it look like the room was relatively "new" in reality they just painted it. The sprinklers were rusty, the screws in the ceiling fixture was rusty, the included ironing board was very rusted on the legs. The front desk employees were nice. housekeeping could have done a better job cleaning the rooms before check in, there were stray hairs on the bedding, the floor had dirt you could feel walking barefoot. All in all its okay if you have no other choice but I personally would not stay here again.

My children and I had a great time staying at the hotel and my children really enjoyed the pool. Just wished the housekeeper would clean our room often. But they only cleaned it once in the whole week we stayed there.

Well first of all there is no closet to hang up your clothes in, water pressure in shower was almost nonexistent and water would go hot and cold. The free breakfast was not prepared good and they ran out of items and would not replenish it and the last day only boiled eggs for breakfast only stayed hear due to close to a family function I had to attend don’t advise anyone to stay at this place.

I don't like writing negative reviews. I try to avoid it, but I need to in this case. The good - we were welcomed by friendly staff. The bad - while the room "seemed" to be fairly clean (although dated), we woke up to 5 cockroaches in our room. This was likely due to a poor door seal. You could see a quarter inch gap from the handle down to the bottom of the door. There were also cracks around the plumbing where they may have gotten in. The air conditioning didn't seem to be working properly as we were all hot at 70 degrees. The beds were also uncomfortable which is likely why we woke up early enough to see the cockroaches who seem to be making a home behind the vanity mirror. When I approached staff about the issue they said they couldn't do anything, but I could talk to the manager who was not working that day. They took my number and told me they would have Delphina call me. It's been a day and a half and no call. I tried calling in again today and I'm told there is no manager on duty today either. I'm grossed out about the cockroaches (there was also one lizard in the bathroom) because I know they can get into everything and multiply quickly, but I'm more disappointed in the lack of care to help resolve the situation. I paid $150 to essentially sleep in a roach infested room. Not acceptable for me and my family. In a perfect world we would be refunded, but at the very least a prompt call and apology would be nice. Super disappointed and will not recommend.

The room was an overall poor repair showerhead. leaked more water than it sprayed. The room was dirty. The door wouldn’t close well. The breakfast wasn’t very good. No cooked eggs to go with the sausage or bacon. I would not stay there again.

There’s insect/pest in the room. I saw one in the wall by the tv and one on the floor by the sink and a little worm on the floor. The hair dryer is not working , the iron board doesn’t stay up and the usb charger by tv is not working. I stayed in room 147.

Property was definitely not what was advertised. Supposed to have a hot tub. Our room was dirty and musty smelling. The door was hard to shut and lock which was concerning with traveling with 2 small children. We put up do not disturb so that our things remained undisturbed while we were out. But it was obvious upon returning that someone had been in the room.

The room smelled so moldy right upon entering and we all woke up coughing and feeling sickish in the morning. The cover on one bed had 2 small yellow stains on it and the sheets on another had some yellow stains. There were stains on the ceiling, peeling of paint in a couple areas and a circle spot where the paint came off from where there were leaks in the bedroom. There were moldy spots on the wall around the shower head in the bathroom. The fabric iron board attached to the wall was so gross with stains all over it. The mirror had rust around it. The floor molding in the bathroom looked like it had fallen off and someone tried putting glue all over it and up the wall and it was all disconnected brown and gross. The handle to the bedside drawer was completely orange and rusted. Not enough towels for to take showers in the morning. Thankfully We didn’t need to spend much time in the room because we were at Halloscream Busch Gardens until late. Only good thing was it was close to there which is why I picked it. It was 1 Adult and 2 teens. We were so grossed out to shower and lay in the beds. We were careful not to touch anything or walk barefoot. We didn’t even try the free breakfast, we left as soon as woke up and went to eat at Waffle House 2 miles away.

I am a frequent traveler andmust have logged over 100 stays in my life a La Quinta branded hotels. This is by far the worst condition for an LQ in my travels. Its somewhere between high school locker room, and a Grey hound bus terminal. Wide open to Vagrants. LQ either knock this hotel down or remove the Brand, its tarnishing your image.

Very old property showing its age. Online photos and descriptions did not match reality. Smelled funky, people had been smoking in the room and not just cigarettes and pot. We actually chose to stay somewhere else and didn’t even bother to try get reimbursed.
