The Spotlight on Tampa Inn Near Busch Gardens

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Tampa’s Music Scene

Modern, no-frills lodging across from Busch Gardens and a short drive to Tampa’s major concert venues. Tampa Inn Near Busch Gardens offers convenient access to live music, late-night eats, and entertainment without breaking the bank.
Guest rooms include microwaves, mini-fridges, and satellite TV, making it easy to prep snacks or catch a show recap after the concert. A refreshing outdoor pool and on-site laundry facilities add extra comfort for travelers on the go.

Why Concert-goers love it

Less than 15 minutes from many of Tampa’s popular music venues, this hotel makes getting to your show stress-free. After the encore, wind down without worrying about long treks back across the city. The vibe is laid-back and practical, and while not luxurious, it’s great for those who want to rest after a high-energy night.
Flexible 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before the show, and the 11:00 AM check-out lets you sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for budget lodging near the action
  • Solo travelers attending that once-in-a-lifetime tour
  • Couples making a weekend trip out of it
  • Fans who want a quieter, more relaxed recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans saving their cash for merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

There’s no shortage of convenient bites here. The hotel features on-site Asian Cuisine and Taco Bell—perfect for a post-show snack run. Vending machines are also available 24/7 for quick drinks or snacks. While there's no breakfast buffet, the location is surrounded by fast food and casual dining spots.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or nightlife, you're only a short ride from Tampa’s best bars and lounges. Whether you're heading to nearby casino bars or downtown hotspots, this hotel is a solid home base to crash after a night out.

What People Say

Guests often appreciate the excellent location for Busch Gardens and nearby venues. The affordable rates and basic amenities get frequent mentions, making it a go-to for travelers who care more about the show than luxury. The in-room fridge and microwave are a popular convenience, especially for longer stays.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is older, and some rooms could use a facelift. A few guests note that the noise level can vary depending on the time of year and event crowd. It's not a luxury stay—but for many concert-goers, it gets the job done.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a budget-friendly, no-fuss stay near Tampa’s top concert venues, Tampa Inn Near Busch Gardens hits all the right notes.

Worst property ever.

Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: This was the nastiest place I’ve ever stayed. Don’t stay here unless you have no other options. Booking•com shouldn’t even allow this property in their database. Horrible area, drug addicts all over, rooms smell TERRIBLE, and nothing is clean. Building feels like it’s structurally slanted and ready to collapse. It’s really bad and I never expected booking to even hold a place like this in their offerings. It should be taken off here

Nasty

Liked: Disgusting. Roaches. It was like the crack house down the street with shit on the walls. Rock hard bed with dirty sheets. Asked for another set of sheets and they said they diddnt have any. Not worth $140 what so ever. Maybe a $35 hotel if that.
Disliked: Everything.

Not good

Liked: Was staying overnight in this area for busch gardens theme park so liked that it was close to the park
Disliked: The first room we entered was absolutely crawling were with bugs everywhere- could not have slept thereAsked for another room on higher level and this seemed better so decided to stay as kids were getting so tired and beds looked clean. On closer inspection once in the room was that the cleaning of the room was very poor. There was food splashed all over the wall in various places. We kind of slept, got showered and got out.
