Decent
Old hotel - tv didn’t work, area is a little shady and it’s gonna be loud at night. All in all it was the cheapest in the area ($250 for 1 night at the nearby la Quinta), not an exciting room but there weren’t bugs or anything questionable. Just an old building. If you need a bed for the night it’s the move - wouldn’t bring kids here.

The hotel was not in the best condition. For the price it felt like a rip off even with it being across from the theme parks. There were roaches, the room wasn’t clean. My husband had to buy bleach and sanitizer spray and clean up himself. My family and I were very uncomfortable and unhappy with the stay. We will most definitely make sure to not go back.

Not worth it!
This hotel is dirty and unkept. The walls are dirty, the furniture is dirty, there’s holes in the walls, and the traffic there is mostly drug addicts and homeless people. I will say it’s my fault for not reading the reviews on this hotel but we just chose a spot for a one night stay that was not supposed to happen! The check in guy was nice I will say but other than that I would NEVER stay there again!

Roach motel
Well there were cockroaches and spiders. Hair dryer did not work. No blankets, just a sheet and a flimsy coverlet with holes. The mattress was firm and seemed clean. No tissues in the room. Oh and no breakfast....just coffee.

Just average
Room was old, but cleaner than expected based on outside appearance. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom fixtures were clean but floor needed a good cleaning. Towels were cery thin and worn. Average rating of '3', good for just an overnight stay but pricey for what we got.

Tampa Inn next to Bush Gardens
I couldn’t stay at all. This place should be turned down and rebuilt, is incredible how bad conditions are found. Dirty with cockroaches and other insects on the walls air conditioning rusted, bedding I even take a peek, towels all stained, the toilet no words, floors were sticky on the shoes, it should not be allowed to be available as a place for people to sleep.

Illegals loitering outside when we pulled up and didn’t get to stay because I was notified that I didn’t qualify for the day I ask for on the Expedia app.
