OK, I think I can explain why some reviewers said this motel was terrible, while others thought it was fine. As a life-long Florida resident I can say that most major cities in the state have areas and streets where cheap, no-name motels cluster together. This is especially true around theme parks and other tourist attractions. In Tampa, Busch Blvd.... more

This hotel had a rude employee (PM) with no customer service skills what so ever. We booked two rooms. The PM gentleman did not know we had booked two rooms even thought the paperwork was in front of him on the counter. The rooms were not cleaned one day even though we put out the signs. When I went to... more

I stayed in this motel for five nights because I had already prepaid. Worse mistake I ever made regarding hotel reservationzs. Two of the five days no one came to clean or fix my room. And one of the days they cleaned it, they decided to do it at 6 p.m. When I complained, they did not even apologized. They... more

We live in Bradenton and decided after a long day at Adventure Island we would just find a room for the night because we were going to Busch Gardens the next day. Although I had consulted trip advisor before hand to see what hotels are decent in the area my husband pulled into the Red Roof Inn. First of all... more

My family and I just returned from our first family trip to Busch Gardens. I am very big on relying on customer reviews. Although this location had a few mediocre to not so good reviews, I decided that the good reviews outweighed the bad. Because of the proximity to Busch Gardens and the price, I decided to take a chance.... more

We stayed here for an overnight stop while visiting Busch Gardens, the rates were good, room clean and simple and staff friendly. The area was nothing special, some say it looks dodgy but it was nothing compared to staying in Hollywood. There's a few cheap eateries nearby like Dennys and a really friendly little shack of a bar called Picadilly... more

We found the hotel to be very near to Busch gardens, however, we found the area made us feel insecure, as we were women traveling alone. The hotel appeared clean and the staff were nice, but we decided after arriving, that we would not stay there and found another hotel a bit further away. more

My room was great. I was in 133 in the front. Carpet looked rather new, as did the bedspeads and curtains. Never saw a bug. Bathroom was tiny but very clean. Tub had those nice curtains that curve out. I got in at almost 4a and expected problems since it was spring break, there were none and the night clerk... more

I am probably not the best to rate this as I typically do not stay in a motel rather than a hotel. But, I went to Tampa during Spring Break, the airshow and the St. Pete Grand Prix so rooms were hard to find. I had stayed at this property about 25 years ago and at that time it was... more
