The Spotlight on Motel 6 - Tampa Fairgrounds

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes From Tampa's Concert Scene

Modern, no-frills, and conveniently located off I-75, Motel 6 - Tampa Fairgrounds is a budget-friendly base just 15 minutes from downtown Tampa. With essential amenities like free Wi-Fi, an outdoor pool, and comfortable rooms with cable TV, it's a smart pick for music fans who want easy access to the action without breaking the bank.

This laid-back motel-style hotel is just under 5 miles from the Florida State Fairgrounds and a short drive to major venues and nightlife, making it an ideal launchpad for concert-goers.

Why Concert-goers love it

Fans love the quick drive to top Tampa venues and the easy highway access for a stress-free arrival. The hotel's casual vibe and reliable amenities make it a solid spot to crash after a late-night show. While there's no on-site bar, the quiet surroundings make it a nice place to unwind post-concert, and the 24-hour front desk means late check-ins are no problem.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to split a room before heading out to a show
  • Solo travelers needing a safe, simple crash pad
  • Couples planning a low-key concert weekend
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the city buzz
  • Budget-conscious music fans who’d rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no restaurant on-site, guests will find plenty of dining options within walking or short driving distance. For those late-night cravings, nearby fast food spots and diners have you covered. Morning-after breakfast? You’ll find several casual eateries nearby for a hearty start to the day.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t offer nightlife, you're just a short ride from Tampa’s vibrant bar scene. Whether you're heading to downtown lounges or post-show drinks near the fairgrounds, it’s all easily accessible. Prefer something low-key? The hotel’s quiet atmosphere makes it easy to call it a night when you're ready.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean rooms, friendly staff, and unbeatable price. Many reviews highlight the hotel’s convenient location for attending events at the fairgrounds. The outdoor pool is also a welcome bonus for relaxing during the day.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention a lack of in-room coffee makers and dated decor—but for the price, most agree it’s a fair trade-off. If you're expecting luxury, this may not be your spot—but if you're here for the music, it checks the right boxes.

CIGARETTES AND FABULOUSO - GHETTO...

Liked: Not a single thing!
Disliked: Everything. Lobby was under maintenance - hot, as if ac didn’t work. The lobby restroom didn’t have no toilet paper. Go to my room - walked the stairs to enter the hallway of hell; not even lying - the door was propped open with a piece of bucket or something and the a/c didn’t work. Could hear the people across the hall arguing. Walked into my room to be greeted by the horrific smell of cigarettes and fabulouso, window open and a/c using its last leg to cool off the room…but again! The window was open. We immediately closed it, plugged in a van, and sprayed my perfume; Still strong smell of cigarettes and fabulouso. I was getting a headache and knew my son and I couldn’t sleep here. My son sat on the hard bed to be greeting with a loud clonking and looked under the bed to a big metal rod holding it up. I changed clothes, grabbed all my belongings because I didn’t want them smelling of cigarettes , headed to the concert & never came back. If you’re into no a/c, fabulouso and cigarettes this is the place for you. Otherwise, stir clear…and don’t hesitate to pay a little more for a safe, healthier and cleaner place to rest your head.

I’ll never return

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: The receptionist was rude. I asked for 2 rooms close together and we got 2 rooms in completely separate buildings. I had 2 elderly people and 3 girls. I needed to be close to everyone to lend a hand and I wasn’t. I reminded her that I asked for 2 rooms close together and she said “well it’s already in the system”

Horrible!

Liked: There was no breakfast
Disliked: Need exterminator for the roaches. Need to be torn down and rebuilt. Had to switch rooms 4 times before I finally found one that was clean. Every room that was marked as “ready” had been left with no sheets or comforters nor pillows on the bed. It was around 4pm and the housekeepers had left, and the rooms were not finished. The carpet in the halls had a stinch as well.
