"The motel was OK. I was given a smoking room, and it was gross. But the employees were friendly, and I was able to walk to Buccaneer's stadium. You get what you pay for. 2017-01-12"
"Not the best location, so don't leave valuables in the car. Walk to Best Buy, Walmart, and restaurants. The room was poorly maintained, and the motel only had on-street parking.2016-03-10"
"Great location near a lot of stores and restaurants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Stadium. Economical. Clean room, but the furniture was old. The electrical outlet between the beds was loose and had exposed wires, though it worked. The toilet leaked at the base, and the bathtub didn't drain well. Nice motel staff. OK for a short stay, but I wouldn't bring my family here.2015-12-29"

"My motel room was actually nice, but the phone and ice machine didn't work.2018-01-04"
"We were shocked at how depressing the room was. There was no color whatsoever. The bed didn't have a skirt or comforter. The carpet had rough edges that were a tripping hazard, and the lock on the room door was upside-down. The front desk clerk didn't speak English well, making communication stressful. Find a different hotel.2023-03-22"
"Not a good hotel stay this time. The power partially went out at 6 PM and was still out when we checked out the next day. We couldn't use the TV or WiFi, and only one light worked.

"I had a terrible stay at this hotel. There was no blanket or comforter on the bed, and the blanket in the closet was too small. The staff did provide a 2nd blanket the next day. The heater didn't adequately warm the room, and the WiFi kept disconnecting. No in-room coffee. The hallway doors were propped open, letting in cigarette smoke, and there were ducks wandering around the grounds leaving waste. Don't stay here.2020-02-14"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
