“Not bad for the money but beware scam artists in area”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

Unfortunately this has to be my worst experience with Days Inn. Check in was great and friendly. Rooms are a bit dated but for the money what can you expect. Unfortunately around *;30 pm phone rang and said it was front desk and computer down and wanting name and address and if went on probably billing info. Told person I would go to front desk and a minute later phone rang and said computer back up. Walked up to office anyway and told front desk attendant. He didn't seem concerned and just said to not give info out (duh). I would think with today's technology he should of called authorities for phone tracing. Hour later had knock on door stating room service, didn't anser door. Unfortunately I do feel this is partly to blame on the police force in this area as they are across the road from Busch Gardens and the area is getting run down. Not once did I see a police cruiser drive through the parking lot unlike what you will see in other cities if they have problems. The cuban restaurant that shares the front building with the front desk though has excellent food and at a very reasonable price
