“Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Stayed here in early December. Hotel is clean, pool area is clean. Game room is small but adequate to entertain young ones. Good location to go to Busch Gardens as it is right around the corner, a short 5 minute ride. Continental breakfast is just that. Waffles, plain bagels, white bread and possibly a whole wheat bread, one type of jelly, butter, cream cheese, hard boiled eggs, 2 flavors of yogurt, two cereals, coffee, tea and orange juice. Minor complaint was that homeless-type people came in and took the hard boiled eggs and some bagels and left. Saw them later selling newspapers on the corner. Good news is the staff replenished the breakfast bar often. Recommend it if you are staying in the Tampa area to go to Busch Gardens or other nearby attractions.

“Do not stay at this place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

First of all this hotel is pet friendly by that i mean the last dog that was in our room had left so much hair that we thought it was still there, also there was hair still on the bed (human) so not clean bedding also hair in the bathroom which had really not been cleaned. After one night in this room we asked to be moved to a clean room which they did up to the 3rd floor which we where told that they do not have dogs on this floor (funny that as we heard two dogs barking from a room next to ours and a room a few doors away. As for this room it was a bit cleaner by that i mean no dog hairs but over all really not clean.As for the breakfast where do i start toast coffee and waffles and a hard boiled egg and that was it really not very good and the breakfast room was not clean more to the point. The area is really not great it seems run down and you hear police sirens all night which is not down to the hotel but over all it does not make you feel very safe.

Room Tip: dont use this hotel

“Where the wild things are”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

After a long day of theme park fun, you want a nice place to relax. This older hotel located near Busch Gardens is just the place for you. The rooms here are older but nice, cheap and pet friendly. The best part of this hotel is its location. You can literally see the roller coasters from Busch right from the parking lot of your hotel. If you want to stay cheap with a pet, stay where the wild things are!

“What a disgrace, filthy and scary... not for families”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

well firstly the staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful, but thats where the niceness stops. Me and my family stayed here for 2 nights due to us going to bush gardens and howl-o-scream - the area outside of the park is so disturbing, people begging, police car sirens, trust me do not ever WALK alone or with your family outside of the park because it is dangerous. Nabraska Avenue is apparently a notorious no go area which is located half a mile up the street from the hotel!!! The hotels were smelly (Stale Smoke and wet dogs) the carpets were so filthy we had to wear our socks. Not a nice place, please save your money.
