What guests think

At La Quinta by Wyndham Tampa Fairgrounds - Casino, travelers often weigh convenience against condition, praising the easy walk to concerts and the Hard Rock while repeatedly citing dated spaces, cleanliness concerns, unreliable amenities, and maintenance problems across rooms and common areas.

Many note friendly front-desk service and fair value for a short, no-frills stop. Common complaints include dirty or musty hallways and rooms, pests reported by some, worn furnishings, faulty AC or hot water, and an often dirty or unusable pool plus an aging elevator. Breakfast is complimentary but frequently described as limited or poorly replenished, though a few guests found hot items like waffles, eggs, and sausage. Expect a budget stay with prime event access but uneven upkeep.

The hotel smelt DISGUSTING as soon as we walked in. Our room smelt like mildew and our air conditioning didn’t even work. Made a comment the first night and no one did anything! We had to go buy a fan from Walmart because they didn’t move us or refund us. After more complaints they finally sent someone to fix it and it was so broken they had to totally replace it. Keep in mind, this was in mid may in Florida… Our sheets felt greasy and like they had a film, bought my own sheets and blanket.. our shower had visible dirt in it. Our fridge didn’t work. Our tv went in and out.

The room was filthy - stains from another persons bowel movement in the toilet; cobwebs in the bathroom; black mold on the shower curtain and dirt stains in the tub. When further examining the room we found food containers under the bed. The sign on the mirror in the room says “we will change your towels and sheets daily”…and I had to call. The sheets were never changed and when I called about the room not being cleaned I was told that the “room is only cleaned every 3 days.” Then on the 3rd day when the room was “cleaned” the sheets were not changed; the bed was not made: and the garbage was not removed. It was disgusting. The lobby had dead plants, dirty chairs and was just very dingy…nothing as what was advertised on Expedia by the hotel. NEVER AGAIN!!!

For the price, I expected much better quality. The location is convenient—close to the concert venue and surrounded by many hotels—but this one was disappointing. It looked much nicer online, but in person it’s clearly very worn down. When we took a shower, it felt like the bathtub was about to collapse beneath us. Our king-size bed also sagged badly in the middle, making it really uncomfortable to sleep. Overall, not worth what we paid.

The hotel is an older hotel that has been redone. Our room was very clean. We took our showers right before we left home so did not turn the bath water on until next morning. To our surprise the water would not turn on so I called the front desk and told the guy that it did not work and he said it works, you just have to pull the knob. I told him we pulled it and turned it and it did not work. He said he would send someone up to look at it. We waited an hour but no one came. By this time we had to get ready to leave so we had to stand at sink and bathe. Upon checking out I mentioned it to the guy at the front desk thinking he might offer some kind of credit. All he had to say was I just came on shift and the other guy didn’t tell me about it, but he did apologize. I basically told him I would be giving a negative review and told him he needed to be sure it was repaired before they gave the room to anyone else.

I arrived and dropped my clothes off before heading out to a concert at Amalie area. I arrived back after 11pm to shower and get ready for bed. I got into the shower and it made popping sounds like it was breaking. I thought I was going yo fall through to the 2nd floor. When I looked out into the bathroom there was water all over the floor so I think the tub was also leaking. There was a pad on the floor of the tub that looks like a patch job. I got out and hung up my clothes, the closet area was dusty and dirt. The chair next to the bed was frayed, but I was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed after the stressful shower. I got on the bed and pulled back the comforter but I noticed the top of the comforter looked dirty. I turned the lights back on and there were hundreds of bugs on the comforter. When I saw movement I started sweating as. knew I had to GET OUT! I asked the front desk for a refund and they refused saying I should have said something hours before but I wasn’t aware that I needed to co duct a Department of Health inspection and a full plumbing work over before I went to my concert. They told me they were unable to do a refund, that their hands were tied. That only the 3rd party app could do it. I contacted Expedia customer service and they told me only the hotel could do it. After getting escalated to someone who clearly didn’t understand why a HEALTH HAZARD was my red line, I determined that I will most likely need to issue a chargeback.

From the Mid Florida Credit Union Amphitheater, the La Quinta is in close walking distance. Stayed one night. Noticed while walking back to room in the late evening after the concert, small moth like insects in/around the hallway light fixtures. Didn’t bother me- it’s Florida & bugs get in. The next morning, however, we found several of those same insects in the bed that we had just slept in, deep inside the covers. It was an undesirable sight to wake to… even took photos. Based on convenience, it was a reasonable choice. If I was a person who panics around bugs, it would have been horrible.

The coffee and egg breakfast was very good, but the beds need updating. The sink is not behind closed doors, so you will interrupt your companion with the lighting. The tub was nice and clean. And the towels were good. I do wish that the TV was mounted to the wall to provide easier watching from bed and more floor or counter space for luggage. Please add a lugguage rack.

From check-in to check out the experience was horrible. I was charged twice and had to call the attention to the desk clerk who took one of the charges off however, I was also charged $100 deposit which will not be refunded for up to 8 days. there was really no reason for this for extra charge which was not disclosed at booking. The first morning the breakfast buffet had only a few items one of which were eggs, which were obviously spoiled, no juice, running out of coffee and some white bread for toast pretty much sums up what was available When we return to the hotel after spending a day at an RV show, we were gone about eight hours. Our room had not been made up. that was at 5 o’clock in the afternoon after making two request someone finally showed up at 9 o’clock in the evening to bring towels and make bed which was a little late at that point. At check out I requested my deposit be refunded and was told I’d have to wait 5 to 8 business days. I thought that was not reasonable considering they were able to refund the double charge for me, but there was no arguing with the desk person. Their customer service was very lacking. There was no real friendliness about the staff and they made promises they couldn't keep! At this point I don’t think I will ever stay at another La Quinta because of this experience, I think the corporate offices ought to be notified about this particular franchise, and how they treat their customers.

I made the reservations for my husband & son several weeks ahead of their trip, & I was charged in full by Expedia at that time. When my husband & son checked out, they were charged for the room AGAIN , plus another $100 charge was put onto my card before being taken off again that same morning, but the double room charge was left on. When i called the front desk about the double charge, I was told it was a "deposit" and that it would "likely be taken off my card in 3-5 business days"! WHY was I charged a deposit when the room had already been paid for weeks before, what was up with the additional $100 put on & then taken off, and why do I have to wait to get money back that never should have been charged to begin with? Other than the whole money debacle, my husband said the room was clean & the beds, tho made of kind of a weird memory foam, were reasonably comfortable. The outside area and lobby were clean and the desk was staffed at all times. Just be sure you have extra money in your checking account or you may end up with some nasty overdraft fees as money is moved around your card like a pinball machine.

La Quinta is not a luxurious hotel; but it is a cheap, cozy, SMOKE-FREE environment if you're passing through Tampa. I came to Tampa for work and didn't want to pay alot of money for a hotel stay. La Quinta was that place. They also provide a complimentary breakfast starting at 7am; serving waffles, eggs, sausage, coffee, etc. Their are plenty of nearby restaurants and about a 7 minute drive to the Hard Rock Casino. So, if you're in the area and need a place to lie your head down for a night or two without being over charged, check out La Quinta by Wyndham Tampa Fairgrounds - Casino.

Our room was spacious and the bed comfortable for what we needed for one night. Breakfast was good as well. The eggs were hot and cooked nicely. My husband enjoyed the sausage patties and of course a hot waffle on the griddle was delicious. No luxury here but for a quick place to lay your head for a night conveniently located and a great price, it was a good choice.
