Motel 6 Tampa Near Fairgrounds - Casino

Homeless in parking lot

Its a decent room

Staff at the front desk were pretty kind, we had trouble checking in but that was completely our fault for accidentally using the wrong name when booking. The guy at the front desk canceled our booking for us, then checked us in for the same price to help us out. He was very kind. Now for the actual stay, We came in for BTS concert. We drove in 23rd and left the 27th (our concert was Sunday) So we stayed a total of four nights, one of those days we stayed inside the motel the entire day only leaving to buy some food. It's a Motel 6, I do not expect luxury from them and I think some of these reviews are expecting Hotel level care rather than Motel. The beds aren't the most comfortable but I didn't expect them to be, Room was decently clean. My only real complaint was we did end up seeing 3 bugs. One large roach and two smaller bugs. I don't care that much, it's hot outside and it's a motel, while I would rather not have bugs I also know bugs are gonna try to find somewhere to go in this weather. My partner has a phobia of bugs however and all 3 bugs were seen on the same night (the 26th so to be fair we went almost our entire trip without seeing a bug) which was extremely distressing for them especially since the large roach was on the headboard right next to their face. The bugs are the ONLY reason I put 4 stars. Generally speaking it was actually a decent stay. Close to location, had a pool (I didn't swim but saw others swimming), had a good experience overall

No hot water in shower, ice machine was broken or had no ice, you can geel the room shake when people are moving outside. Room was not clean. For $200 a night not worth it.

We always stay here when in Tampa. The staff are very friendly and pleasant.
