“Great value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 5, 2013

I was very impressed with the quality of this hotel for the price we paid. The front desk staff and maintenance people were very friendly and accomodating. The hotel was close to Busch Gardens. I would DEFINITELY stay at this hotel if I go to Tampa again.

The rooms appear to be have been recently renovated. Very clean and upgraded furnishings. It was a bit small for 4 people but served the purpose for an overnight visit. Definitely will stay again.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for choosing Ramada Inn, Tampa North for your lodging needs. In Hotel Industry renovation is a perpetual factor; more so when you are a franchisee. This keeps us in line with competition & may many a times give us an edge over others. But it is all worth it, when we get a generous reviews from the guest acknowledging good & comfortable stay. All my colleagues join me to thank you for the review. We will look forward to your future business. Once again, thank you for staying with us as also for the review.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for choosing us once again for your lodging needs last Christmas. I am indeed sorry that we failed to provide hot water for the days you have mentioned. Plumbing problem just happens & never gives notice. But we have learnt our lesson & have kept one assembly as a spare now to avoid such an eventuality in future. The part was not available in Tampa & had to come from Atlanta, Georgia. The holidays made us helpless. Now we have that part as a spare & hopefully you will have better stay next Christmas with us. I am sure you will give us a chance next time you are in Tampa. Thank you once again for your business as also the review.

“Very good experience, close to Busch Gardens”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 30, 2012

We stayed here 3 nights during our vacation in the US and all I can say is the reviews are telling the truth. We very totally satisfied with this property, it was clean, modern, well equipped, good value for the money. Some reviewers say the room and the bathroom are small, however for us it was quite large and absolutely comfortable. (Look at my pictures). I do not know the standard size of a hotel room in that area but the room wasn't small at all. The bed was huge and very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Like everywhere the AC unit is a bit loud and we always turned it off for the night.

Our main reason why we chose this property was its location. It is very close to Busch Gardens, just a 5 minutes drive and since we planned 2-3 days there Ramada Inn was a perfect choice. On the other hand the reviews are more or less telling the truth and the overall scrore of the property reflects the reality. However check my photos and photos from other guest before you book.

The breakfast is served next to the lobby area. There are a few tables there. They have two waffle makers, the provide juices, milk, coffee, jam, butter, breads, 4-5 different cereals, some cakes. So it is very good to start the day, but do not expect luxury buffer breakfast. If you do not satisfied with the breakfast for some reason then there is an IHOP right next to the parking lot.

The staff was very kind and helpful, especially the guy at the front desk.

Overall we recommend this place to everyone and if we come back to the area we will choose Ramada Inn again.

Room Tip: We stayed on the upper floor not that close to the breakfast area. It was quiet and close to the poo...
