Wasn't the worst place I've been to in Tampa, but it was close. Put it this way, you get what you pay for. This was the first time staying in a motel in Tampa. I wanted to be close to Busch Gardens. The pictures of this place make it look better than it does. The coffee pot was broke, the condiments and coffee pods left in the room must have been a couple years old. Asked for extra pillows and the guy said no one was in to get any so he came banging on our door at 9:40 PM , woke us up and scared my grandsons to death. Pay a little more for a beeter place.

Could be better
It was very close to Busch Gardens where we were visiting so that was a plus, but the room was kind of out dated and the towels and sheets didn’t look to clean in my opinion. They even had used toilet paper rolls and didn’t even get any replacements when room was supposed to be cleaned. They only took the trash. At least you’re near a lot of food places and gas stations.

Definitely avoid
The condition of this hotel currently is NOT the same as what is show in the photos. The walls are dirty, doors have holes in them. The air vent in the bathroom was just exposed wires with no cover. Paid for a “deluxe” room that had sewage backing up into the shower when we flushed the toilet.. we were then moved to a room without a refrigerator (first room had one) that also had a microwave propped up on a chair. It seems like this hotel was not only dirty but there were legitimate safety hazards. The employees at the front desk were friendly and helpful, which is one nice thing.. but it doesn’t make up for everything else.

Roaches
First room had roaches running around the floor and on back of door. Second room had several roaches crawling on the walls and one fell off of door when I opened it. Left snd went to a different hotel where I had a great experience.
