About The Hotel
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Tampa Bay Area-Tampa South is a 3-star value hotel at 4730 W Spruce St on the Westshore / TPA airport corridor. Rated 3.8 across 293 reviews with 3.6 cleanliness, 3.9 location, 3.7 rooms, 3.8 service, 3.9 sleep quality; value 3.7 — 3.6 cleanliness is the softest cleanliness rating in the entire Tampa hot-tub-search cluster. Amenities include pool, free breakfast, pet-friendly rooms, business center, free parking and free WiFi. HEAVY CANDID 2026 FLAGS. A 1-star review titled ‘Blood on bathroom door’: ‘Blood on the bathroom door on arrival. Algae in the pool. Sewage smell throughout the hallway on our floor. Dirty bedding when the sheets were pulled back. Would not stay again.’ A 2-star review titled ‘Roaches next door’: ‘Roaches in the neighboring room per staff — we could hear the guest complaining at the desk. Our room was tolerable but the caulking around the tub had mold. Value hotel, budget expectations.’ A softer 4-star value-first take: ‘Convenient location near Tampa International and the Westshore corridor. Standard La Quinta pool + free breakfast. Room was clean enough for a one-night stay. Staff was helpful.’ Book only with clear budget-value expectations and awareness of the recent candid flags — this is a value-tier property with significant recent quality-control concerns. Consider the Country Inn Radisson (4.0/611) at Airport North on Benjamin Rd instead if a value airport-corridor option is required.

View on Google"I was running late for a very critical business trip. When I arrived, I realized I’d forgotten to bring my slide deck notes with me. After trying several ways to get it printed, Wafi was there to get the job done. I cannot express how grateful I am for his assistance. Also, the hotel manager was very supportive as well. Next time I’m in Tampa, I’ll be back here."
