Try Tampa Inn and be pleasantly surprised

Service was fast , efficient and friendly at the front desk when I checked in at a late hour, and all my room preferences had been accomodated without me saying a word. The staff at The Tampa Inn near Busch Gardens has always been wonderful to me and I am glad to have my home away from home

Needs a remodel

The owners and staff were great but the room and hotel itself is like a trap house there were drug addicts and it was run down and was not a place to bring family and kids

8/10 Very good

The staff is very nice qnd professional. However the area is not what was expected from the pictures that is showing on expedia. The room was very clustered and the closet was on the door where it was hard to get in.

6/10 Good

The property was what I expected for 2 stars. The sheets were clean and we had housekeeping every day. The water pressure was good and the air was working. For the cons. There were only 2 small towels for 2 of us for 3 nights. The mini fridge was 1/3 full of ice. Like it needed defrosting. The tv screen had crayon markings on it. The WiFi was really slow.

6/10 Good

Liked that the staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean and tidy. Microwave and small fridge worked well. There was no coffeemaker. The toilet was not secured properly and no bathtub stopper. Broken fire alarm. Paid $40.00 extra for the two dogs.

6/10 Good

Just average

Room was old, but cleaner than expected based on outside appearance. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom fixtures were clean but floor needed a good cleaning. Towels were cery thin and worn. Average rating of '3', good for just an overnight stay but pricey for what we got.

I booked this hotel because it was close to Bush Gardens. The pool looked like there was mold growing on the bottom, black in all the cracks and crevices but the water didnā€™t feel gross so thatā€™s something. The room was clean..ish. When I woke in the middle of the night I observed a (single, only one I can confirm I saw. However, where there is one there are many) roach in the sink which made me wonder; if there is mold in the pool and roaches in the room perhaps thatā€™s why the shower tile was black and the carpet was dark. I would not stay here again and they should lower the rate and at every least fumigate!

The gentleman on duty carried a new microwave to my room and swapped it out when my mine didn't work in the middle of the night. Fantastic service! Thanks again everyone at The Tampa Inn! Sincerely, C.T. Tarr

We did not end up staying here. Iā€™m waiting for my refund. The room was filthy, there was trash everywhere outside, and we did not feel safe here at all. Iā€™m amazed that you would suggest this place to anyone.
