Holiday Inn Tampa Westshore - Airport Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Was an excellent stay"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Tampa Near Busch Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel to stay, staff room, breakfast area was all worth the stay. Will need to brush up on my Spanish but thank God for my Apple phone translation. You could literally walk to Bush Garden from where we stayed. Planning my next vacation for October 2927, perfect place to stay. The only issue is, they charged a deposit for each room on the same reservation! That wasn’t cool. I understand a deposit for a reservation but for each room on the same reservation. Hope you all consider how you inquire about the deposit when booking multiple rooms at once."
