“Average hotel stay for the most part.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

The beds are super comfortable! The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were average on cleanliness. The shower leaked and was frustrating. Hotel needs basic upgrades, but experience was decent!

“Great Value in a Convenient Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

This is a great location when you are looking for a convenient and clean location to stay while on the road. Close to major highways and the Fairgrounds. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. They provide an average continental breakfast with self serve hot waffles. The rooms are clean w average comfort. They lack outlets for electronics and the WIFI is spotty at best. Cable service is OK with a few premium channels and flat panel televisions. The vending machines were not operating properly since many of the selections ere inoperable. Overall an OK value.

“EXCELLENT STAY AT LA QUINTA INN & SUITES TAMPA FAIRGROUNDS”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

My son & I attended a show at the fairgrounds & being directly across the street, we chose La Quinta for our stay. We were so glad we did. Hotel has had many exterior & interior updates which was very nice & the hotel staff including housekeeping customer service went above & beyond. Thank you to Desiree & Alan who made us feel so welcome & right at home. I was informed that the hotel was under new management & it is evident that they take pride in their job! Beds & pillows were extremely comfy, new flat screen TV's were awesome with great reception! Room decor was very nice. Breakfast was basic which included make your own waffles, breads, hot & cold cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruits & hot & cold beverages. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone especially if you are attending a show across the street. We were back in our comfy room in no time while people were still trying to get out of the parking lot for over an hour. I would not hesitate to stay at this La Quinta again while visiting the area. Thanks guys for a GREAT stay!!!

“My favorite hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

WeI travel with our 2 dogs and love how welcoming LQ is. No hassles at all. Some hotels charge extra or have size limits. We have a 120 lb Great Pyrenees and a 40 pound Spitz we get no askance looks, no panic on the desk person's face; only warm welcoming smiles! The dogs and we will stay only at LQ!
