Not the best and not the worst.
Checked in online ahead of time and when I arrived I had to answer all the same questions in person. The woman at the front desk was not very pleasant when I inquired about checking in ahead of time online. The room was not the cleanest. There were stains on the carpet and lamps. Our toilet bubbled up instead of flushing down. The bathtub had a stain of what could either be rust or possibly blood. The elevator was very slow and the hallways were very hot.

The room was clean and the beds were super comfy. The only issue we had was the hallways were very disgusting and smelled terribly of Marijuana and dog. All night long we heard a dog barking nonstop. Overall it was an okay stay, but most likely will not be returning.

Staff was awesome And the location was great. However, the hotel hallway carpets were disgusting, the vending machines on our floor were broken and clearly many did not adhere to the “non smoking” rule because our floor reeked of cigarette smoke. The workout room was bad. Whoever owns this hotel needs to do some serious remodeling. Housekeeping did their best but stained carpets can’t be fixed. Again, the staff is amazing and the location is great, but I will never stay there again

Terrible Experience - Extremely Dirty and Unsafe for Families I recently stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham USF (Near Busch Gardens), and it was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the hotel was filthy and completely unacceptable. The carpet in both the room and the hallway was covered in stains, and to make matters worse, there were roaches crawling on the floor. The room was absolutely disgusting, with hair everywhere — on the sheets, in the bathroom, and on the floor. The most horrifying part of our stay was when my brother and niece witnessed and even recorded two people having sex in the hallway. This is completely inappropriate and unacceptable, especially considering that I was there with my three young kids. We felt unsafe and uncomfortable the entire time. We left the very next morning because none of us could stand another minute there. My sister couldn’t even sleep on the bed due to how dirty it was, but it was too late to go anywhere else that night. To top it all off, the hotel refused to refund me for the remaining two days of our stay. This was beyond frustrating given how uninhabitable the place was. I cannot believe that a hotel under the Wyndham brand would allow such poor conditions. This place was not only dirty, but clearly not properly managed or safe for families. Do yourself a favor and avoid this hotel at all costs.

Hotel over charged us and refused to fix the issue. We paid a $50 deposit when we booked the room with Expedia and was supposed to pay the remaining balance at check in. Hotel required us to pay full amount at check in and refused to work with Expedia to refund the $50 we already paid. Staff was very rude about the situation.

The prior reviews do not accurately describe this property. It’s rundown and dirty. My room was more than outdated. The carpet was ripped. The bathtub was gross. Everything in the hotel just barely works, the fridge in my room, the back door off the parking lot, only one elevator, This is the worst hotel I’ve ever been to. I am surprised that this is part of a franchise Do not stay.

Hotel needs serious renovation/update. Carpets are old, worn, and filthy, especially on the 1st floor near the rear elevator. Bathroom in my room was not cleaned properly, with hair and fecal matter still on the toilet seat and the sink was clogged. Never felt that uncomfortable in a hotel before. Stayed at this location 2 yrs ago and it was fine. I guess it went downhill since.
