LA QUINTA INN BY WYNDHAM TAMPA NEAR BUSCH GARDENS, Tampa

La Quinta Inn Tampa Near Busch Gardens is located at 9202 North 30th Street, placing it immediately adjacent to the main entrance of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. The park is a 10-minute walk (1 km) from the property, allowing guests to avoid parking fees at the theme park. Adventure Island waterpark is also nearby. The surrounding area includes a variety of restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk: Taco Bell, Popeyes, McDonald's, Burger King, Red Lobster, and Baskin-Robbins are all roughly 0.5 km away. For more dining and shopping, Ybor City is a 20-minute drive, and Lowry Park Zoo is 10 km from the hotel. The property is near major roads and offers easy access to downtown Tampa, about a 15-minute drive. The neighborhood has a mix of commercial and residential areas; the hotel benefits from being near a police station, though some areas nearby are described as less walkable after dark.

Accommodation comprises standard and deluxe rooms, all non-smoking. Standard rooms include a coffee maker, flat-screen TV with cable, ironing amenities, and a private bathroom with bathtub. Deluxe rooms add a microwave, small refrigerator, and a recliner chair. Some rooms have a sofa bed, and a two-room suite features an adjoining lockable door between the bedrooms. Room sizes vary; the king room with sofa is notably spacious. However, there is no closet in any room, and no rooms have a balcony. The building is older, and many rooms show wear: doors may not seal fully against the frame, air conditioning units can be loud, and the laminate vinyl flooring in some rooms may have warped sections. Noise can be an issue-rooms facing the road or near the elevator pick up hallway and traffic sounds. Rooms on upper floors away from elevators tend to be quieter. The property has been partially renovated in public areas and some rooms, but overall the hotel retains a dated motel-style feel. Family rooms available, and connecting rooms exist.

Breakfast is included in the room rate and is served daily in a dedicated breakfast room from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. The offering is a continental-style breakfast with hot options: scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes or waffles (varies by day), as well as cold items like cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, bread, pastries, juices, milk, and coffee/tea. The breakfast is basic but sufficient for a quick meal before heading to the parks. During periods of high occupancy or after maintenance issues, the selection may be reduced to muffins and coffee. There is no restaurant or bar on site; however, multiple food outlets are within a 5-minute walk, including Taco Bell, Popeyes, McDonald's, Burger King, and Red Lobster. For a wider choice, Ybor City is 20 minutes away by car.

The outdoor swimming pool is open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM and is available for all guests. It is not heated, and there are no hot tubs, spa facilities, or fitness center on site. The pool area is large, with free parking nearby, but sun loungers are limited, and pool towels are not provided. The hotel also has an indoor games room with activities for children and families. For theme park visitors, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island waterpark are within walking distance, offering extensive water slides and rides. The pool is generally clean, though during busy periods it may see heavy use.

The hotel offers complimentary Wi-Fi in all areas, though some guests report intermittent connectivity. Free on-site public parking is available without reservation, and accessible parking spaces are marked. The property has two elevators and wheelchair-accessible pathways. A 24-hour front desk can assist with late check-ins (until 3:00 AM), luggage storage, and requests for extra bedding (subject to availability). Guest laundry facilities are available (coin-operated).

Pets are allowed for a $15 daily fee (max $45 per stay); service animals are accommodated at no charge. The hotel does not offer airport or cruise port shuttle services, so guests must arrange their own transport to Tampa International Airport (about 16 km) or the cruise terminal.
