Extremely dirty
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Couldn't make it and wasnt allowed to reschedule or cancel and get my money back
Rosario, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not waste your money.
My family and I stayed here basically as a last resort. Floors were caving in. The room was not clean at all. It says no pets but there was cat food on the floor and it is smelled like cigarettes in the whole building.
Desiree, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very slow to check in. Room wasn’t very clean. No heat in the room. Shower faucet not easy to figure out and would just turn and turn and turn to find correct temp. Gunshots, doors slamming shut (because they won’t line up to lock) made it impossible to rest
Joshua, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Pictures are not what I drove up too
The pictures on the site did not match up to what I drove up too. As a single mother I drove into the complex and felt completely unsafe! There were people selling things in the parking lot, it looked run down and just a complete no! I did not check in because I did not feel safe just my being in the parking lot!
Stefanie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It'll do
The staff was very nice, special props for the receptionist who helped me. Comfortable beds, and has an enjoyable balcony. Air conditioner works slow but is effective over time; I actually had to turn it off because it was cooling so well, but then again, this is in January in Tampa. I'm not sure how it would hold up in the summer. Also, if you have a cockroach phobia then this is not the place for you, because I saw more than a few little ones once I shut off the lights. Roaches are nothing to me, so I actually enjoyed it, but In all honesty they could really use an exterminator. But you get what you pay for; my only goal was to get a good night's sleep and go to Busch gardens, which is about only a quarter mile away. Location was perfect if these are your purposes. If your going for cleanliness I would recommend oasis hotel
Matt, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Teriible - Never again!
Very disappointed. Hotel is very rundown from cleanness to regular maintenance, everything was terrible. There was mold in the bathrooms, rust on air vents, broken mirrors, broken lamps, worn out rugs, outdated furniture, damaged walls, and ceilings among other things. No working phone, broken. Pictures in the website are very deceiving. Nothing like the hotel really. I have been with Hotels.com for many years and never stayed in a hotel this bad. I will never stayed at Econo Lodge anywhere. It is a shame that Hotels.com is even allowing this hotel to be posted in their website as an option.
Jose, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

I stayed here on New Years Eve and reserved a non-smoking room. There were cigarette holes in the blankets and the mattress. Half the outlets in the room did not work for phone chargers. The remote for the TV did not work. Worst yet the bed had a giant wear hole in it which made it feel like you were sleeping in a pit. My girlfriend and I kept on rolling towards the middle and the whole experience was super uncomfortable. When I checked in, I had to stand at the counter for over 10 minutes till someone shows up to help check in. The place looked closed down.
Ryan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Prime location just walking distance to Bush Gardens and lots of eating options near by, friendly staff but the hotel is old, smelly and dirty.

Harsh, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The hotel conditions are terrible
LUZMAR, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This Econo Lodge is a disgrace. The front desk staff was rude and made themselves unavailable. They did not pick up the phone or answer requests promptly. Our room was dirty - the AC was broken and our sheets were not clean. We needed to request NEW sheets for the bed. An uncomfortable experience overall. You would think with this type of rating multiple times, you would see a change in hotel management. I wish I never spent the money.
Benjamin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was full of roaches and bugs, we did not stay. The smell was horrible, this place should be closed down
Randy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible hotel, awful area. Felt incredibly unsafe. Hotel was dirty and smelled of drugs. Walked in and then immediately back out.

Kimberly M., 1-night trip

I can believe this place is even open! No one should be staying here. Heath code nightmare. Drove up and lost my mind! Dirty, rundown, dark. Picture your worst nightmare and there this place would be!
