Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We absolutely loved staying here! The staff was wonderful to us. They were super sweet and let us keep our luggage here while visiting Busch Gardens. The location is awesome. We could see the hotel from the top of Iron Gwazi. ( Little tip to those walking to Busch Gardens: The ONLY pedestrian entrance to the park is in the southeast corner of the park. There’s a small walkway at the corner of Busch blvd and McKinley dr. About a 15 minute walk from this hotel.) Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever in the area for Busch Gardens!

The La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Tampa Near Busch Gardens is a decent hotel located next to Busch Gardens. I was in Tamp to attend an RV show at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Hotels near the Fairgrounds. were either over $300 per night or less than $100 and the low price hotels had very bad reviews. This La Quinta was $125 a night for a king bed room called deluxe because it had a microwave and small refrigerator. The room was comfortable although the toilet was constantly running so I turned off the water at night so I wouldn't have to hear the water. There is a free breakfast that consisted of boiled eggs, cereal, toast, muffins and coffee/juice. It was okay. There is a restaurant nearby called Four Brothers that is very good. Overall, the hotel was decent and I would recommend it if you're looking for a decent but not over-priced room near Busch Gardens.

The floor in this room is coming apart and has holes in it (vinyl plank). The ceiling is cracking and missing some drywall. No mini fridge. Mattresses are uncomfortable. Bathroom fan is annoyingly loud. Bathtub has what looks to be cigarette burns on it. There were no clean towels at the front desk for the pool. The ice machine near us isn't plugged in. I haven't even stayed the night yet! I wouldn't stay here again nor recommend this to anyone.

they did not inform that the hotel pool was closed, my room door was like hard to open and close. it was almost like the door was under pressure due to foundation issues. one time my key card stopped working. went to lobby and after a wait an employee finally shows up. she clocks out and walks accross the street and walks home. while this happened another guest was trying to check in. we both just looked at each other and was like what just happened? finally after about 45 minutes an employee showed up at the front desk and was able to fix my card.

I was really pleased with this motel and happy to see all the nice updates they are making. Unfortunately, the pool hadn't been done yet, but it didn't take away from our stay. Rooms are spaces, very clean and comfortable. Plenty of good amenities, and a really decent breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. And of course, you can't beat its proximity to Busch Gardens. Decent rate as well.

We stayed two nights here on our recent Busch Gardens visit. The hotel is literally across the street from the bird gardens in the park, and I picked out our car from atop of Iron Gwazi. We easily walked to the park, about 20 minutes from gate to gate (the pedestrian access to the park is a block to the east). As for the hotel itself, it was good, though showing some wear and tear. There was lots of maintenance going on while we were there, so they are working on the upkeep. We were disappointed that housekeeping wasn’t everyday; we’ve noticed other hotels that did this were not as clean as others that did daily cleaning (not saying this hotel is dirty, just it’s an unfortunate trend). Other amenities at the hotel were pretty good. We enjoyed the large pool and the breakfast was fine (cereal, waffles, yogurt, juice, fruit, pastries, etc). We also did book the room directly through the hotel and got a better rate than the search engines were offering. All in all, we were pleased with our stay and plan to stay here again when we are back in the area.

Our room was clean. Beds were ok. I was very disappointed that there was no mini fridge. The outside property was very dirty. The front desk attendant (tall white male, not sure of his name) that checked us in was very incompetent and needs to be retrained or not work in customer service because he was clueless. He said that he gave our room key to someone else in our party (which he didn't). And then I stood there for 10 minutes and he asked me what I needed? I repeated -a room key twice! Breakfast was lacking.
