The gentleman on duty carried a new microwave to my room and swapped it out when my mine didn't work in the middle of the night. Fantastic service! Thanks again everyone at The Tampa Inn! Sincerely, C.T. Tarr

This hotel is infested with roaches, and their presence is noticeable as they scurry around the room.
The room reeks like an old smoking bar, and the shower barely produces a drizzle due to the poor water pressure. Adding to the disappointment, the sheets, pillows, and all bedding were stained with various substances, both old and new looking. It's evident that fresh sheets were not provided.
My recommendation would be to avoid staying here altogether and choosing anywhere else. The owners should just knock this place down.

Not so good. Saw roaches. Never again do I want to stay at Tampa inn.

This MOTEL was the WORST. It was so bad, we did not stay there, in spite of already paying for it (non-refundable)! I would not let my family get out of the car, so we paid for an additional hotel room elsewhere.
When we got there, the building was in disarray, as if it were vacant: peeling paint, boarded up windows, one gate padlocked, debris and trash in the parking lot. And there were people who looked like they lived there: two guys with large aggressive dogs, women who appeared to be prostitutes, homeless looking people.
Ultimately, after driving around looking for the office, I didn't even park the car or let my family get out. Even though the room was paid for and we could not get a refund, we drove to another hotel and paid for a room there.
On the plus side, it IS directly across the street from Busch Gardens, and if you're looking to score drugs, it's probably a good spot. But there's a Holiday Inn Express next door, and a La Quinta across the street... stay there instead!

Checkin was smooth.. asked for a non smoking room but first thing I smelled was smoke when I walked into the room. Dirty exterior and very seedy. People were outside my door all night due to the proximity of the washers and dryers. No soap or shampoos or other amenities were available.

It was so bad they had roaches everywhere, in sink,on the bed and on the floors. I tried to get a refund I could not stay with my grand kids we left and got a different hotel

This is a low budget low tier motel. They did not provide soap in the bathroom sink or tub area. The room and bed were clean and comfortable enough for a one man one night stand. The facility is old and the grounds are not kept clean. It was the lowest price I could find; you get what you pay for. It met my expectations.

This was the WORST hotel I've ever been offered. There was what looked like blood on the side of the bed sheet, the comforter in a non-smoking room had a cigarette burn in it, the carpeting was pulled up in the corner, the sheets were dirty looking and had brown specs on them, the mirror looked like it had oil smeared on it, There was NO PHONE in the room, the digital clock did not work (yes it was plugged in) there was rocks or something in the toilet, the curtain rod was pulled out of the ceiling, there was so much dust on the furniture, that I did swirling motions in the dust so you could easily see it, the room had such a smell of weed (in a non-smoking room) that it was burning our nose, the chair was so stained that I refused to sit in it....as a matter of fact - we refused to sit on anything or touch anything...we were in the room 5 minutes when my wife started looking for someplace else and I was walking out the door. Went to the front desk and showed all the pictures that I just took...he apologized. We left & went to a Holiday Inn Express.
I contacted Hotels.com when I returned home, and they only refunded 1 of the 2 nights!! WTH! We never stayed and told Mr Patel that we would not be staying the night when leaving.
Why Hotels.com would ever have a place like this on their site is beyond me. And then to not refund my $ completely makes me reconsider ever using them Hotels.com ever again.
Beware! Stay away.

This place is disgusting and Expedia should reconsider who they choose to offer on their site. The floor and bedding had cigarette butt holes burnt into them. The carpet was stained and had an offensive odor. The TV stand had so much filth on it and the bathroom was worse than the dirtiest porta potty bathroom Iâve ever seen. We couldnât even stay there it smelled so bad, and the hotel refused to give us our money back. SHAME ON YOU EXPEDIA!

The hotel is very ran down and isnât clean. The room looked like it doesnât get cleaned either during a stay or between bookings. Dirt. dust, grime looked like it was part of the decoration attempt. The bed had stained bedding. The floor had holes under the carpet that would sink in when you walked in the room. The AC was disgusting and didnât work. The tub drain didnât have a protective cap or seal. It was full of hair that floated out when the shower was going. The room had no phone to call the office, no alarm clock and no hairdryer. The no smoking room was that only because we donât smoke. Itâs obvious the room had routinely been smoked in. It was a competition between the smell of cigarettes and marijuana. All night the same people could be heard arguing in and out of their room. If it wasnât that couple it was someone else yelling back and forth to someone in the parking lot. I donât recommend this property at all under any conditions. Saving a few dollars isnât worth the trade off of basic cleanliness, lack of any attempts at noise control or the ridiculously repugnant odors of the rooms.

These people have always been wonderful to me, and the price can't be matched at this location across from Busch Gardens. The Tampa Inn has been a fantastic value and friendly place for me always. I am grateful to them.

The please was in a horrible condition, the guy in the front desk almost didnât talk to me, when we got to the room the floor was full of dead cucarachas and I can swear that no one ever in there whole life of that nasty Hotel clean the floor or the curtains, there where dead bug in the walls and the ceilings and live bugs coming out of the bathtub, sink and bathroom door. Do your self a favor and save your money and health from this stinky nasty and dirty hotel.

Areas seems unsafe for people who are visiting out of state and doesnât give off a pleasant a atmosphere especially being located across the street from Busch Gardens

As soon as my daughter turned on the light in the room roaches were seen scampering off the dresser. There was a dead bug stuck to the mirror. Hair in the sink. It was disgusting! We never put our bags down and left the room. I was afraid to check the beds. I am shocked that Expedia would have this in their site. I do expect a refund for having paid for a room that wasnât habitable!!
