This hotel was OK. The room is a little "tired" and could have been a little cleaner. The pillows weren't great. The internet didn't work properly for my IPOD. But, there was a nice breakfast, it was quiet, and the person who checked us in (Star) was wonderful. Very convenient to Busch Gardens, even though we weren't going there. I think the parking lot could be a little brighter at night, but we felt safe (especially because the police building is next door).

Our hotel was right across from Busch Gardens. The room was clean, but the carpet was a little worn and not tacked down properly by the bathroom. The people at the hotel were all very friendly. The breakfast provided was good.

As we were going up to our room there was a window broken in one of the rooms, which was an unsafe feeling, considering the neighborhood. When we got to the room, it had a strange smell, which you got used to after awhile. There was hair in the tub, and seeing as we hadn't showered, it was obvious it hadn't been cleaned well. There weren't enough towels in the room. When they "cleaned" the room the next day, they didn't change the sheets on the bed, which we wanted done. I could tell by a mark on one of the sheets, it was still there. Very dusty, lots of allergy attacks. The pillows were horrible. The continental breakfast was a joke, the gravy for the biscuits and gravy was cold and the coffee tasted like mud, so thank goodness there was a Dunkin Donuts nearby. There were flies everywhere in the room where the breakfast was. Needless to say, we didn't go back for the breakfast the next day. It felt more like a soup kitchen. When we asked the cleaning lady for more towels the second day, she said she would bring them when she's done, never did. There were people slamming their doors all night long, which isn't the hotels fault, but it did add to the "ambiance" of the whole stay. All in all, it was dirty, and not worth the money. But the location was good, since we were there for Busch Gardens.

If you want a "party" motel, this is the one for you. When we checked in, there was a lot of activity around the pool. We thought, "OK, people are on vacation, time to have a little fun and let loose". The pool was supposed to close at 11PM (according to the posted sign). However, there were kids and adults running and screaming at all hours, and not just around the pool. When we went for the free breakfast in the morning, there were empty beer cases all over the motel. This continued to be the case during our entire stay. We were awakened at all hours. Additionally, the "suite" that we booked was not an oversized room as depicted on LaQuinta's website but two connecting rooms. Also absent was the hot tub depicted on the website. Breakfast items ran out and not replenished. Friendly staff, but will NEVER stay here again!!!

If you are simply looking for a cheap place to spend the night before (or after) your visit to Busch Gardens, this would be a good place to consider. It is indeed very close to the park, not quite walking distance but almost. The neighborhood is OK; not unsafe but quite plain. The room was a little run down but basically clean, the beds were OK. The free breakfast was surprisingly good. We wanted a non-smoking room; the first room we got had a smoking smell, but the front desk was apologetic and the next room was fine.
If you want amenities or a fully new updated room, you will be disappointed. But if you want a cheap "family" place to stay extremely close to Busch Gardens (and a nice free breakfast), then consider this place. It's a 2- or 3-star type accommodation.
