La Quinta Inn & Suites Tampa Brandon West

door has 2 inch gap from floor allowing light and noise from hall

Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were dirty.

The Hotel was easy to find and well kept and clean. The staff was harried by guest complaining of no hot water when we were checking in. The staff assured everyone a new hot water heater had been installed that day and it would take a while for the water to heat up. When I took my shower the next morning it was warm and turned to tepid before I finished. The second day my wife had a cold shower. They said a plumber would be in the next day to fix it. Seems they were not willing to pay weekend rates to get it fixed right away. The room is nice but the shower and toilet are in a room (closet) about 6 feet by 8 feet. The lavatory, hair dryer and makeup mirror are just outside the bath area next to the door opposite the coat closet. There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room. However, the refrigerator was all iced up and not cooling much. Much of the space in the room is taken up by an oversized desk. The bed is a bit soft and I hate those Chicklet sized pillow. The WIFI internet connection was fast. Breakfast was below average on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 as the best it was a 3. The coffee was terrible, the juice was watery, there was cold cereal, pastries and waffles available. I have had various problems this year with LaQuinta I am about ready to write them off as a lost cause.

The room smelled a little moldy, and the air didn't work right. The breakfast was cheap and generic
