The Spotlight on Budget Inn - St. Petersburg

Affordable Comfort Close to the Music Scene

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly pricing at Budget Inn – St. Petersburg, a no-frills stay just five minutes from downtown and major highways. This straightforward motel-style hotel offers easy access to the city’s concert venues, with clean, traditionally decorated rooms, free WiFi, and an outdoor pool to help you cool off after a busy night out.
Each room includes handy extras like a microwave and mini-fridge, giving you flexibility for late-night snacks or early breakfasts. With 24-hour reception and free on-site parking, it’s an easy, fuss-free base for music lovers on the move.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just off I-275 and a short drive from downtown St. Pete, this hotel is a smart choice for catching shows without battling traffic or high downtown rates. It’s quiet enough for a solid night’s sleep after the encore, and the 24-hour front desk means no stress if you're arriving late. Early check-in and check-out aren’t guaranteed but the staff are known to be accommodating when possible.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a simple, budget-friendly place to crash
  • Solo travelers checking out a dream artist or band
  • Couples planning a low-key weekend of live music and beach time
  • Fans who want a quiet place to recharge after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than hotels

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, each room includes a microwave and mini-fridge—perfect for leftovers or late-night bites. Plenty of fast food and casual dining spots are within walking distance or a quick drive. Want to grab a bite before checkout? There are breakfast spots nearby for a slow morning start after a late night.

Nightlife Options

You're just a short ride away from downtown St. Pete’s buzzing nightlife—bars, lounges, and live music venues are all within a 10-15 minute drive. Though the hotel itself doesn’t offer nightlife, its location makes it a good home base for exploring the city after dark.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention the great value for the price, with clean rooms and convenient location being top highlights. Many appreciate the friendly staff and the ease of parking. Travelers say it’s “nothing fancy but gets the job done” and praise its proximity to both the beach and downtown.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel is clean and comfortable, it’s a no-frills experience. Some rooms show signs of wear, and the décor is dated. If you’re looking for luxury or in-house dining, this may not be your top pick—but for the price, it delivers.

The Bottom Line

If you're chasing concerts and watching your budget, Budget Inn – St. Petersburg is a solid, affordable place to rest your head between shows.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Joseph, Tarpon Springs, visiting Mahaffey Theater

Disliked: Cockraches in room. Very dirty; room stunk; no coffee available in the morning and homeless people hanging around lot and rooms.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Lisa, Bradenton

The staff was great, the room was good and the bed was comfortable. It would have been more helpful if the staff had advised us of how to turn on the air conditioner. When we checked in, we were not told of the continental breakfast. We did not find out until we were checking out. The soap was so tiny that it was not good to take a shower or bath with - we had to get more soap from the front desk. It would also be nice if they provided shower caps for people who forgot to bring one. Overall the stay was pleasant but would be better if things were upgraded.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Joanne E Rand, Spring Hill

It was a seedy place to stay. Empty crack bags outside,and pool was full of dead bugs.When staff came to clean room next morning, bed was made but sheets were not changed. Would not choose this place again.

Liked: bed was comfy.
Disliked: they say that there was free wi fi and it wasn't hooked up properly. There was no extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. We had to ask for some. It smelled funny. When we used the microwave,which was plugged into the same outlet as the TV and fridge, the power blew out.

It was freaking horrible the...

Liked: I didn't like anything. It's dirty, nasty, smells like urine. There were some sketchy activities going on outside my door. My TV didn't work. I told the lady it was the socket. They need to fix it for the next person. It's room 119. These rooms are outdated. They need to be bleached and scrubbed. The sheets look dirty and like they were NOT changed. I didn't sleep on them. I took a chance and just slept on top of the comforter or blanket. There was no garbage can. What hotel has no garbage can? I had to get a room again tonight and they tried to run a scam on me! The nerve of them. I won't ever be coming back.
Disliked: I disliked EVERYTHING. If I had more money I'd be down the street in the Quality Inn. I didn't like the smell. I didn't like how old and outdated everything looked. I didn't like the fact that my TV didn't work in room 119. I didn't like the fact that there was no garbage can in room 119. I didn't like the old, noisy dusty window AC. Who still has those? I don't like the dirty doors and walls. The sheets don't look clean and I KNOW that black girl knows to use bleach in the whites to make them smell fresh. They don't smell fresh. These people barely clean anything. I actually asked about an application but changed my mind about wanting to work for such a dishonest establishment.
