• Very nice.

  liked everything!!

“I was not expecting something so nice but when I entered the room I felt like I was at home! I really enjoyed this hotel and definitely would choose only this one when I return to Tampa again!! The front desk guy was very nice as well and very close to Busch gardens which I have a 2yr pass to so I will be staying there again in the near future!! Thank you priceline, very nice hotel you put me in!”

• Great location.
• Probably upgrade TV cable channels.

“Perfect located closed to the restaurants by the way you have many places to chose, walking distant to the parks and nice and clean pool.”

• Close to Raymond James Stadium, Denny's great.
• Pretty dirty, possibly shady neighborhood.

“Good for location to Busch Gardens, airport and R.J. Stadium. Not updated or super clean. Beds and pillows not very comfy. The on-site Denny's was great.”

• Proximity to my activities.
• Dismal surroundings from the front to the parking lot.

“If you need to get to Tampa at a peak time like I did and come in expecting a one star hotel you will not be disappointed.”

• It was close to the pool area.
• The location did not feel safe walking about area.

“The hotel was ok, it could have been cleaner. It was noisy at late night. The area was not safe for women to walk about the area, at least I did not feel safe. The pool area was ok for being under construction.”

• Room smelled clean when I first walked in.
• Every so often you could smell cigarette smoke in the bathroom. Noisy in the mornings.

“Need better pillows. I think the hotel should invest in painting the bathrooms and with new mattress. Cleaning crew should have in mind that guest are there to relax and can do without the noise in the mornings.”

• The room smelled great. It was clean and comfortable, better than a Disney hotel I was at last week.
• No complaints at all.

“Last week I was at a Disney resort (Coronado Springs). The first room I was in had wet carpeting and smelled. The beds were hard and pillows were flat. The first thing my kids said when they walked into the room at this Days Inn was how nice the room smelled. This was the best days Inn I've ever stayed in. Thank You!”

• It was very close to Busch Gardens. That's it!
• It's not very clean, they charged me before I even signed in the room. The bathroom door wouldn't close and the bed was extremely uncomfortable.

“I will never stay here again and will advise anyone I know to spend their money wiser.”

• It was close to Busch Gardens.
• Smaller then I expected for a two bed room.

“This was an ok hotel. It was under renovation. It was a last minute booking for a funeral so I will say they made it easy for us to get our room when we arrived.”

• The location.
• No fitted sheets on the bed.

“The service and politeness is excellent but the quality on the room is expected of a 1 star economy room and the fact that their was no fitted sheets on the bed meant that you would be laying directly on the mattress by morning.”

• Only good thing about this hotel was the location.
• The 1st room smelled of urine and sheets were dirty/a hole was in the wall of the non-smoking room which stunk of smoke.

“I recommend no one to stay at this hotel it is run down shabby and poorly maintained. The hotel staff was rude and obnoxious. The rooms were not clean-and loud all over the hotel it was a horrible experience never to be repeated!”

• Nothing.
• Disgusting, filthy, bug infested, scary area.

“This was the worst hotel I ever stayed at. Even if it was free I wouldn't go back. Shame on Days Inn for having a property of this type in their hotel chain. The only improvement would be leveling it.”

• Very comfortable sleeping.
• Nothing.

“Clean, friendly, comfortable beds, directly across from Busch Gardens, and within walking distance of Burger King, MacDonald's, Olive Garden, Arby's, Dennys, Walgreen's, and Morrison's Cafe (buffet). Couldn't complain.”

• Location.
• Everything else!

“This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in! Location was close to the park but the area is terrible, I felt we where in the ghetto! When we pulled up to the hotel the front lobby attendant was outside smoking a cigarette and we had to wait for him to finish as he talked it up with one of the scummy street locals. They put us in the first room with no toilet, no bathtub, and with pieces of the ceiling falling off. After obviously complaining they put us in the room next door and not only was the bathroom under construction but the entire room was in disrepair, no beds, TV, smelt like dirt and obviously we were not able to sleep there. So we went again to the front lobby and the attendant to ask for a different room, he actually acted like we were bothering him! I asked him for the inconvenience what is that you can do for us? with an attitude he shouted I am working on it. (He knocked off $15.00 off the price of the hotel.) Then he gave us another key to the back of the hotel where there were drunks lying out behind a garbage can and guys where in there cars with the music playing really loud (at this point it was about 2:00 a.m.). We decided that instead of complaining AGAIN we would just suck it up and go inside, once inside we found that the air conditioner was not working and making an awful noise, the water in the shower didn't get hot, the beds had dirt and stains all over the sheets, door did not lock properly, and it smelt like cat piss as if someone actually lived there with cats for a long period of time. Once again knowing that we would not come back the next day we decided not unpack and suck it up once again and just get the rest we needed. I would not recommend this hotel to an enemy! It was a terrible experience to say the least!”

• Room was not very clean.

“The location was great. Price for the room I thought was ok until we got there and the room was not clean. Your feet would get black from walking on carpet and bathroom was not clean at all.”

• Somewhat pleasing room appearance recently remodeled.
• Bad location, no security.

“While I was surprised to see that this hotel was currently under construction (lots of noise and debris), I was more surprised by the attitude of the employees. I will never stay at this hotel again.”
