Disgusting, unsanitary, under- accommodated
Pros:

I have booked with the La Quinta by Wyndham Tampa Fairgrounds- Casino for the dates of October 30- November 1st. I want a FULL refund for this stay as this hotel is completely unacceptable and disgusting. Our first room had MOLD on the ceiling, our second room was never cleaned and we were left with NO TOILET SEAT. This is a health hazard and we weren’t able to use the restroom during our stay. I have uploaded photos as evidence.

Pros:

With better management and attention to detail, this hotel could provide a much better experience for its guests.

Cons:

The rooms were not clean, and the carpet smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. The overall environment was not pleasant or comfortable. The breakfast was very disappointing and did not meet basic expectations. The swimming pool also appeared poorly maintained and did not look clean.

I believe the hotel has great potential, but it would benefit from having someone regularly supervise the property's cleanliness, maintenance, and overall guest experience. With better management and attention to detail, this hotel could provide a much better experience for its guests.

Due to these issues, along with my early checkout, I am requesting a refund of $184.61. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Very poor experience would not ever stay there again
Pros:

Outside of the building looked really nice. But the inside once you got checked in and headed to your room. The hallway floors were dirty needed swept, they didn’t look like they have been swept for months. Walk-through the door of our room and it had a really bad odor. The bathroom tub when you stepped into it felt like you were gonna fall through it. Beds were OK. I did get a good rate better than what I had expected. But they made me pay $100 for in case there was anything that was broken. And told me I would be refunded at the end of my stay. That was a lie because they said it would take up to three days for me to get that credit back. Which to me is very poor customer service that they didn’t tell me that upfront. Don’t like that I had to sit and do everything through a little guy at a kiosk and a camera to check in and check out. You should really have somebody there 24 seven at the counter to take care of any needs you may have. To me a kiosk with a person through a camera on a kiosk is very poor customer service. Will not stay at La Quinta again.

Cons:

There was absolutely nothing I liked about this location at La Quinta. I am glad I only was staying one night. And that I wouldn’t be in the room for very long. The only thing that was good about it was it was close to the casino.
