Econo Lodge Busch Gardens

Avoid Avoid Avoid This place was beyond terrible. The front desk clerk was outside smoking when we got there. The room was at the farthest end of the hotel and there was maybe ten cars there so intentionally making it inconvenient. The room door was broken and the room was filthy!!!!!! We couldn’t get a refund and leave because we purchased from a third party.

There was roaches curtains where very stained walls were stained smelled bad

This listing constitutes fraud. The photos shown are not reflective of the actual hotel. It is, for lack of a better or kinder term, a complete dump. Our first room was disgusting and the balcony door didn’t close all the way or lock. We requested a new room, which was somehow even more disgusting. It had clearly not been cleaned — there was dirt everywhere, literal leaves in the bathroom, and a sock on the ground. The AC in the room was also broken. We decided at this point to leave for obvious reasons. The man at the front desk said he couldn’t give us a refund because we had “been there more than an hour,” and when we tried to show him the pictures of our room he said something along the lines of “I know, my cleaning staff doesn’t do anything, this is how it is,” which is just…baffling. Anyway, he said to contact the manager (whose email is a bunch of random letters). We will be attempting to contact him as well as disputing the charge. Absolutely disgusting, the worst hotel I have ever been to. I have no idea how they are still open they need to be shut down.

The property was definitely in a perfect location right across from Busch Gardens, and adventure Island, but you could tell it was very outdated and not taken care of very well. just very bottom of the barrel for a quick stay

Worst hotel I've ever been to -5 stars
