La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Tampa Near Busch Gardens

6/10 Okay

"Room was old. Needed touch ups of paint everywhere. Didn't look, feel or smell fresh. "

The Barrymore Hotel Tampa Riverwalk

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was super clean and the lobby has been nicely updated. You can tell the rooms are more dated, mainly the bathrooms, but the hotel has done a nice job keeping everything very clean. My biggest compliment is the staff. Our stay was due to the proximity to the hospital and urgent appointments we had for my mom. We needed a lot of last minute special requests and the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. It was exactly the kindness we needed during this stressful time. Thank-you!"
