Summary: 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definitely in a perfect location right across from Busch Gardens, and adventure Island, but you could tell it was very outdated and not taken care of very well.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

Summary: Bath tub/shower is in bad need of repair. You almost have to hug the wall to get under the water. The facet has a ton of caulk that is dirty. We had a very uneasy feeling about staying there and won't again and probably won't stay at another econo lodge.

Summary: It was just a mess I was truly shocked and disappointed I was expecting better for the amount that I paid it definitely should’ve been better.

Summary: Very disappointed. Hotel is very rundown from cleanness to regular maintenance, everything was terrible. There was mold in the bathrooms, rust on air vents, broken mirrors, broken lamps, worn out rugs, outdated furniture, damaged walls, and ceilings among other things. No working phone, broken. Pictures in the website are very deceiving. Nothing like the hotel really. I have been with Hotels.com for many years and never stayed in a hotel this bad. I will never stayed at Econo Lodge anywhere. It is a shame that Hotels.com is even allowing this hotel to be posted in their website as an option.

Summary: 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

Summary: I stayed here on New Years Eve and reserved a non-smoking room. There were cigarette holes in the blankets and the mattress. Half the outlets in the room did not work for phone chargers. The remote for the TV did not work. Worst yet the bed had a giant wear hole in it which made it feel like you were sleeping in a pit. My girlfriend and I kept on rolling towards the middle and the whole experience was super uncomfortable. When I checked in, I had to stand at the counter for over 10 minutes till someone shows up to help check in. The place looked closed down.

Summary: Do not stay here. NASTY!!!! Found a contact in the sheets so they obviously are NOT changing the sheets between stays. 0/10!!!!! Stay in your car before this room.

Summary: The staff was very friendly and the room was as clean as they could get something that run down. The room was dark with dark bedspreads and minimal lighting. The lampshade was literally hanging on by a thread. The shower was water scale marked and rust stained but appeared to be clean beyond that. The bed should have been thrown away years ago. One was so dented where people would sit that you'd almost roll out of bed on that side. The other bed squeaked so badly that it sounded like the rigging of a dilapidated shrimp boat. Neither was comfortable in any way at all. On the plus side, the front desk clerk was very helpful and friendly. I'd avoid this hotel until they do some serious updating - even if it's just replacing the beds. Also - a reminder to the hotel - it's obviously time to call the exterminator - when I turned the lights on at 2 in the morning, bugs went scampering in all directions. Gross.
