Horrible
BIG Dead roach by toilet. Didn’t feel room or refrigerator was really clean. Bed was of as far as comfortable. But other residents were constantly walking, sitting on sidewalk in front of ALL room doors. Talking & laughing loudly until 2-3am EVERY DAY! And started right back up early the next morning. The only good thing is that the manager was very nice, understanding and helpful. But will NEVER stay there again, hurricane or not!

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.

I should have read others’ comments but it was a last minute booking due to my change of schedule and unavailability among other places. The main concern / complaint is the cleanness of this place!!!! It’s almost unbelievable how dirty it feels and was. As soon as you walk in, the room just smells of mixture of stale, moldy and smoky air. The sheets are dirty with some body hair. Blankets are even dirtier :/ I’m feeling sick after sleeping in here. Then so imagine the bathroom. cockroaches in bathroom. Towels are falling apart. Bathtub is super slippery. Outside has all kinds of people and “activities” that leaves a sense of very unsafe and unsettling. Although staff are sort of fine, it is definitely one of my worst hotel / motel experiences.

I had booked this hotel for a week for a family member who had to evacuate their property due to Hurricane Milton. When they tried to get to this hotel, they were unable to do so and I requested a cancellation and a refund of $729.96. Even though an Expedia agent contacted the hotel manager by phone to help me, he flatly refused to make the refund. Regrettable!

Disgusting INN at Busch gardena
This was a horrible experience from the moment the door to this horrible motel . It smelled like pee. I walked in the bathroom and the shower curtain was stained more yellow than a school bus , you could see it dripping yellow liquid . There was hair everywhere in the bathroom . The toilet wouldn’t flush and was disgusting . Every door hinge was broken , lights were out and balls of lint and trash under the bed

Beds had been clearly slept in on arrival. Door jammed, smell was absolutely disgusting. Wet mildew type mixed with stale vomit. Towel bar hanging, same with shower, no phone in room. I gagged then couldn't get out for 2 minutes as the door was jamming. Random people walking by...3 am. Definitely Some drug dealings happening Left as fast as we came. The clerk at counter says no refunds, will be contesting that through my credit card. Never offered a cleaning person, a phone, a different room etc. We were there to take my Uncle off of life support and then left with my sister, elderly mother and no room in a dangerous area in the middle of the night with zero compensation>reserved for 3 nights< added a ridiculous additional layer of unnecessary stress. This is the slums folks. We are not from the area and don't let the near Busch Gardens fool you that this is a safe or family friendly area. It was equally scary and disgusting. Not acceptable for an animal shelter, let alone people.

You should NEVER recommended this place to anyone EVER. Dirty, broken windows, broken stairs. I checked in, saw the accommodations and left. I wasnt there more than an hour. Musty, mildew, candy and.food wrappers around the bed, dirty carpet and bathroom was HORRIBLE. I am fighting to get my money back. IT WAS HORRIBLE

This stay was horrible from beginning to end. It was an Emergency booking due to hurricane Milton I want to say I’ve been booking with Hotels.com for 12 years and have nothing but good things to say about them but on average I spend about $100 on a room and have rented several rooms for that price in that time only two have been of this condition this one and one other one. the entire hotel was nothing but drug dealers and prostitutes and homeless people. We didn’t get room service the entire time and we’re first to hunt down our own towels. The tub did not drain so anytime we took a shower we were standing in our own self and it was clear when we would drain the tub . We had to go back twice to have our room keys, rem magnetic because they kept shutting off our room keys, even though we were still staying there. The Customer Service was extremely unfriendly every single one of them. I got a flat tire on my bike, which I do believe happened in their parking lot, considering it is covered with nails and other debris, not all from the hurricane, thankfully, the power is back on at my house and Hotels.com was able to get me a refund, but I am confident that if I hadn’t booked through Hotels.com, the hotel wouldn’t have given me a refund on a night that I didn’t need due to an emergency. Unless this is the kind of hotel you’re looking for I highly recommend staying anywhere else but here .

The Tampa Inn experience was a horrible experience in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.The less than 2 rating is to be believed. The 4.8 rating on Expedia, however, was disappointing. The hotel room was smoky, smelly, and the bedding looked dirty and dingy. I could not stay in the room because the atmosphere was very noisy with groups of people clustered together drinking beer outside in the parking lot and some seemingly gambling. The hotel management, when confronted with this responded that this was not a 5-star hotel, and that they did the best that they could. In my case, I could not get a refund, but at least some kind of compensation for a dirty smelly place. The county’s health inspectors should close this place down. It was dirty from the stairs to the room. I knew that I could not stay there because of the conditions. The facility will make one sick. I was so very disappointed with Expedia’s rating. Expedia is considered to be trustworthy, but the Tampa Inn did not deserve Expedia’s rating. I don’t know how I will ever trust Expedia again. I will tell anyone who is looking for a pleasant hotel stay to avoid the Tampa Hotel like a plague. Both the management and facilities need a lot of work.
