Do not go here. It’s disgusting.
If I could give it less than one star I would, it was disgusting. The room was moldy, the sheets were covered in stains, the covers, the sheets, everything was stained. It was disgusting. The mattresses were flat, the latch was non-existent. Security is clearly a concern. No wonder this was the only hotel not filled. For the price it wasn’t worth it. Go somewhere else Buyer beware.

Location is perfect for going to Busch Gardens. It's an easy 10 to15-minute drive. Our room was updated, clean, comfortable king bed and also had a small fridge and microwave. We stayed with our dog and there was ample grass area to walk her. We had an excellent meal at the Wing restaurant next door to the hotel. I know its hit or miss, but never heard any noise outside. We will stay here again next time we visit Busch Gardens.

2 star is generous.
The room had an odor when you first open the door. The bathroom was filthy with a dead cockroach behind the door and a huge ant near the toilet. The towels were thin and useless and had grease stains on them. The a/c was from the old days and sounded like a jet engine so you could not hear the tv. The bed was comfortable and the tv was nice. The shower head was nice and the water seemed clean.

Worst Hotel Experience Ever
I am fighting to get this reservation/booking canceled. We walked in the room after check in and immediately walked out and did not stay at this nasty hotel. I had to evacuate my home due to storm damage from Hurricane Milton and this was the only place available within 70 miles. My wife and I opted to sleep in our car rather than risk our health and safety at this location. This place needs a health inspection and should be condemned.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!!
This is the worst hotel in Tampa!! Very dirty and unsafe!! We booked a couple nights due to losing our power from hurricane Milton, and after checking in, could not even stay!! The room was not clean. The bed had stains and hair all over the comforter and sheets. The floor was dirty and sticky to walk on. The lights did not work, no cable and didn't even have a lock on the door! We asked for a different room, and got the same result. Asked front desk for a refund and they said they do not do the refunds as we booked through a third party. We called hotels.com to get a refund and when they called the hotel, the manager told them they do not show a reservation for us and hung up on them. Red Roof then charged our card for the entire stay. Hotels.com was no help as they could not reach the hotel. We have contacted Red Roof Headquarters and got them involved. DO NOT STAY HERE! DIRTIEST HOTEL IN TAMPA!! STAY AWAY!!!!!

Good spot; get what you pay for
Quick one-night stay. The folks at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. Lobby is in desperate need of renovation and the lighted sign out front needs some love, too. The room was very good and the floors, shower, and furniture looked new. Some minor cleanliness concerns like finding long hairs on the sheets and one of the towels, but the rest was fine. WiFi worked great.
