There are 2 La Quinta's that we found to be near Busch Gardens. We accidently pulled in at the newer one, which looks a little nicer than this one, however, when we did finally turn up at the correct one, it still didn't look too bad. Like I've read in other reviews, it is an old fashioned style motel, with... more

This La Quinta is laid out like an old fashioned motel, with external entry to all rooms. This style of hotel always gives me security concerns, with no staff to monitor who comes and goes. The rooms are average, but clean. The best point is the close proximity to Busch Gardens, though not close enough that you can walk -... more

This is an older motel and rooms are small, but they have been remodeled, well furnished and are spotlessly clean. Great service from front desk, too. Great location for those visiting Busch Gardens. Lots of good family restaurants nearby. more

We had 3 rooms and all had problems that should have have been corrected by the maintenance and cleaning staff before we checked in. It needs a major renovation. We chose the hotel because we thought we could walk to Busch Gardens but the park is surrounded by a security wall so we had to drive enough though the attraction... more

The staff was friendly and the location was unbeatable for our purposes. There was an issue with our checkout and the manager came out and gave us a better rate to... more

Right across the street, in fact, from Busch Gardens, and when you're outside, you can hear screams from some of the thrill rides! No complaints about this La Quinta, ESP. considering the price. An older property, but rooms are plenty comfy, with free wi-fi access (didn't work in our first room, but Star, the marvelous lady at the front desk,... more

Found this hotel at literally the last minute before walking through the Busch Gardens gate. Got a coupon for it out of the books that you find at rest stops. We only stayed here for one night which was the max that anyone really should stay here. We were given a 'non-smoking' room that stunk like cigarettes. Shower was scary.... more

Ive stayed at this LaQuinta before, so I knew what to expect. For you folks who are looking for a hotel in the Busch Gardens area of Tampa, you cannot go wrong with this LQ. Breakfast is above average, with fresh fruit, waffles, bagels, toast, juice ,coffee, tea and yogurts. Also in room coffee. Staff is friendly and helpful. Free... more

WOULD I STAY HERE AGAIN! The hotel is very close to Busch Gardens, you could walk if you wanted to. Check in was easy, and the staff was very friendly. They informed me that the hotel was over booked, upgrading me to a "SUITE". When i checked into my room i noticed that it smelled of smoke, although it was... more
