We were not impressed with this La Quinta. There's another one very close to this location that usually averages about $20/night cheaper. We've now stayed at both and I can tell you to save your money and stay at the other one. Neither location is fancy, but I expected the more expensive one to be better. It wasn't. Negatives: The... more

Very nice hotel with a great staff. Great location as well. more

I booked the LaQuinta Inn USF (near Busch Gardens) using Hotwire.com. I needed three rooms for a quick visit to Busch Gardens for Howl-O-Scream. Unfortunately, Hotwire lists this hotel as a 3 star hotel (like a Holiday Inn, Radisson or Doubletree), and this hotel is FAR from that quality.

The USF LaQuinta very close to Busch Gardens and we would stay there again! The breakfast room was lovely! It had big windows and glass doors that backed onto a garden oasis. A... more

The Hotel is located real close to Bush Gardens. The only problem was that the bath tub drain did not drain the best at times. Would stay there again if in the area. more

The La Quinta was nice and homey looking hotel. The room was a good size and it had a big bathroom with french doors. The only problem's were I could here the tv in the next room and there was a lizard in the closet. It ran across my food when I went to get the ironing board out! Luckily... more
