2/10 Poor

Close to Bush Gardens park but premises look terrible. Bad smelling room, a/c not working, had to move to anorher room. Dirty towels,
Araceli, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property was definitely in a perfect location right across from Busch Gardens, and adventure Island, but you could tell it was very outdated and not taken care of very well. just very bottom of the barrel for a quick stay
Stephanie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was one of the worst places to stay on the planet. I was amazed that this very sketchy lodge has the Econo lodge marquee. It was a disaster area and the second night there was police all over the place. Did not help that there were homeless people directly outside the main entrance and the morning we checked out there was a semi conscious person laying on the luggage cart and someone sprawled out on the lobby couch with the clerk all asleep or unconscious at best. The rooms were filthy, towel Rack was broken with no bar and the mattresses should have been condemned. I took pictures of you need proof. Would Never consider staying again at an econo lodge.
Nicholas, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It'll do

The staff was very nice, special props for the receptionist who helped me. Comfortable beds, and has an enjoyable balcony. Air conditioner works slow but is effective over time; I actually had to turn it off because it was cooling so well, but then again, this is in January in Tampa. I'm not sure how it would hold up in the summer. Also, if you have a cockroach phobia then this is not the place for you, because I saw more than a few little ones once I shut off the lights. Roaches are nothing to me, so I actually enjoyed it, but In all honesty they could really use an exterminator. But you get what you pay for; my only goal was to get a good night's sleep and go to Busch gardens, which is about only a quarter mile away. Location was perfect if these are your purposes. If your going for cleanliness I would recommend oasis hotel

I didn’t check in as the outside looked so rundown and nothing like the photos that I didn’t feel safe and booked a different place even if I lost the money

Poor

Motel was very run down. No Couch or comfortable chair in room. Curtains dirty , sliding glass door filthy and hard to open. Flooring needs to be replaced. I would not recommend this property. shower area looks like it had not been cleaned in quite awhile.
Ronald, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This stay was awful. The first room the gave us had towels stuffed in the toliet and wasnt clean. The second room was alot of the same. Not cleaned. Burn holes in the sheets and pillow cases in a non smoking room. Mold all of the ac blower. Blood spray on the back of the bathroom door. Shower filthy. Sp we couldnt shower. Unfortunately we were too tired to document the stay. We did get one picture of the broken ac unit. We came to rest from 3pm to 5pm to go back to busch gardens and just wanted to rest so i couldnt fight anymore. We had to go back to the park at 530 so we rested until then and went to the park and came back at 1am to sleep until morning. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone. I will actually push them not to. I was extremely disappointed. I cant believe they can rent room like that. For 20 bucks cheaper than a nice hotel.
Danielle, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The smell was atrocious all around the place. They left used soaps and shampoo and didn't eben bother to provide unused ones. The bedding was horrendous. It was loud all through the night with the staff making no effort to control the noise. Cops showed up one of my nights. But honestly, the smell was so rank, it may have been the most insulting part of my whole stay.
