Honest review

Worst experience so far. The place is completely neglected, there are signs that say remodeling but it seems that in reality nothing is happening, they should be ashamed offering this kind of accommodation under the current conditions.

I will start with cleanliness- or not so much. Upon entering the front entrance the carpet was severely stained and looked nasty. The sheets had a stain and there was a chewed piece of gum stuck on lamp. The room door didnt shut properly so when housekeeping left room, I arrived to my room being open. The window didnt lock and I was in 1st floor, so that was a concern. The staff when alerted was very responsive & friendly. Doubt I will return to Laquinta again.

The interior needs to be updated

The moment we walked in, it felt like a senior assisted living facility. The hallway was dim and carried a strong scent of cleaning detergent. The room itself was old but fairly spacious. The bathroom had no fan and no locks on the door. I had read the reviews before booking, so my expectations were low—because of that, I wasn’t disappointed with the stay. The location is very good; close to USF and restaurants.

Cheap and cheerful

The hotel is cheap and cheerful. The bed was comfy and clean. The room was ok. Struggled to get hot water for a shower. Only option for coffee in the room. It is only a two star. You get what you pay for. The inclusive breakfast was ok. Quality of the food average.
