Terrible

Too expensive for one night for the poor condition of the rooms, we were 4 couples and it was horrible, the tubs were broken, the sinks too, some did not have cold water, to brush your teeth the water did not come out regular but super hot, the irons did not work, the elevator was horrible, the entrance keys to the room did not work, one of the couples was left out of the room without being able to enter with their things since the first time they entered the service was the one who opened it because with her key I could not, we really did not stay at all it was just to sleep and the night cost us almost $ 260 dollars and it was not possible because when we arrived at night we realized that one of the couples had been left outside and their things inside, the service could not resolve it, we had to wait until the next day at 7 am for someone to come to resolve it ... In short, it was terrible, we were tired and going through all that was not pleasant at all. I do not recommend it ***

Fool me once

I wanted to run away the moment we arrived. When you come out of the elevator (scary, slow and noisy) the carpet is disgusting, beyond dirty! Thank god the room was clean and the floor is not carpet (if it would have had a carpet I wouldn’t have stayed). I won’t stay here again unless the property gets a deep clean, a new facade and those nasty carpets get ripped out.

I wasn’t impressed and felt I was very overcharged for what I received. They were under construction and couldn't use the facilities downstairs. We were on the second floor and the carpet was absolutely disgusting. I was embarrassed that I picked that place to stay with my sister to go to my brothers funeral. Coming from Arizona and going to Florida I didn't know what I was getting. Just going by pictures and price range I sure thought it would be better than I had. I food for breakfast was the exact same every morning. Not good!!

The hotel was quite gross. The seemed fine, but the moment we stepped into the elevator (permit expired 2 years ago), we regretted our choice of hotel. The elevator was in poor conditions and filthy, the carpets in the hallway were excessively dirty and stained and there was an overwhelming scent of cheap air freshener to mask the smell. We were put in a non-smoking room that had obviously been smoked in for years; it smelled of stale cigarette and the curtains had burn marks and holes in them. Lamp shades were stained, the carpets were dirty and stained, there were handprints all over the mirrors; the shower didn’t seem to have been properly cleaned. Not at all what we were expecting for nearly $400 CAD for one night. Very disappointing.

Close to Moffit

We went to the room they gave us on the 3rd floor. When the elevator door opened, I was appalled at the state of the carpet in the hallway. The door to the assigned room was open and the room had not been serviced. We returned for another room and received one on the first floor which appears to have been renovated. Phones and internet was down when we arrived.

Terrible stay

The room was in terrible shape. Paint chipped on doors, lamps and desk top. The shower head water was lacking in strength and when moved to adjust the head, it almost broke off. The shower towels were stained. The pool lounges were in bad shape and moldy. The complimentary breakfast was lacking. English muffin and bagel were moldy. Staff had lack of knowledge of the general Tampa area for tourism. And it seemed as though some people were living there as residents. Me and my daughter left one day early and stayed elsewhere.

My experience here was amazing. I was in town with my disabled son for his surgery at a local hospital the following morning. I was distraught when we arrived, in tears, tired and frustrated with my own situation. The receptionist Cheyanna was so kind and helpful. She brought over Ms Karen, the hostess, and the two women prayed for my son and I. It was exactly what I needed at the time. I am so thankful for their compassion and love. It was extremely comforting to be treated like family by complete strangers. They gave us an extra blanket for my son's comfort and made us feel right at home. Sometimes it's not the facility, not the cleanliness, not the beds or the rooms that matter...but the heart and soul of the staff that make for an awesome experience. I'm forever grateful for their loving hospitality.

We stayed at the hotel for a concert at the University. If we had more time, we would have found another hotel. The room was FLITHY. The carpet needed replacement as well as the sofa which was full of stains. As soon as we arrived back home, clothes in the wash and in the shower. Never again will we stay at a La Quinta. I should have read the reviews before booking.

We booked a double queen room for a family of 4. After we checked in and inquired about our room with double full beds, we were told there are no queen beds on the property. We were given a roll away bed with 10 loose screws sitting on top of it and a matress as flat as a pancake. The room floor was so filthy we wore the same socks to walk around the room our entire stay. The used to be white socks are now black as tar and were thrown away. The pool was dirty and the hot tub was even worse and cold. All the staff were very nice and accommodating except the Caucasian lady at the front desk. I received a text to check out or pay for late check out. I approached the desk to tell her I was going to check out late and would pay. She rudely said "there is no late check out." I told her I reveived a text and link to pay for it and she rudely repeated herself. The property is old, outdated and doesn’t look anything like the pictures.
