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definitely in a perfect location right across from Busch Gardens, and adventure Island, but you could tell it was very outdated and not taken care of very well.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

6/10 Good

The outside looks really run down, but it is part of Choice Hotel Group? Check in was fast and easy. The room was huge, and the bed was comfortable; however, the bedspread (?) was so thin, it didn't feel like you had anything over the sheet; the cover felt like it was just a wee bit thicker than a tablecloth. The microwave and fridge were clean and worked fine. I did not see coffee maker. As for the bathroom, it was clean. The toilet and shower/tub was separate from the sink, which worked for us. There were three small bars of soap, two were on top of the plastic it came in, not sure if they had been used or not, and only one was still inside the plastic unopened. There were dispensers by the sink/counter area and in the shower, but there wasn't anything in them. The shampoo provided in a little container was great though, it didn't dry my hair. I did not see a hair dryer. The bathroom counter needs replacing or deep cleaning, a lot of stains, and the empty dispensers didn't look like it was wiped clean. On the light switches, you can see the original white paint all around the switch plate, the toilet paper holder, was partially painted over by wall plate. The A/C was loud but it did work. We only needed a night's rest and the bed itself was comfortable, just wished the bedcover on top of the sheet was a little thicker, a regular blanket would have worked. The headboard had stickers on them, like the the type kids would put stick on the walls, tables, etc.

2/10 Poor

This was one of the worst places to stay on the planet. I was amazed that this very sketchy lodge has the Econo lodge marquee. It was a disaster area and the second night there was police all over the place. Did not help that there were homeless people directly outside the main entrance and the morning we checked out there was a semi conscious person laying on the luggage cart and someone sprawled out on the lobby couch with the clerk all asleep or unconscious at best. The rooms were filthy, towel Rack was broken with no bar and the mattresses should have been condemned. I took pictures of you need proof. Would Never consider staying again at an econo lodge.

8/10 Very good

It'll do

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

The room was absolutely not clean. There were roaches, the fridge door was disgusting and the walls were stained and dusty. We had a back door to the balcony that wouldn’t even shut all the way which made us feel unsafe.

We rented a room and the smell wasn't great. The bed sheets had stains and there were hairs in between the sheets. We asked to switch rooms, the next room smell was worse sheets were cleaner but still some hair around the bed. I would not ever come back.

The room was absolutely filthy. Bathroom had no lights, big dirty stain on the sink, hole in the bedsheet, dirty floors and walls. We requested another room, and the only improvement was that there was lights in the bathroom. I highly do not recommend, the staff at the front desk was nice and accommodating with reassigning us to another room but unfortunately the hotel itself is totally neglected.
