Hotel Details

Location

Just across from Busch Gardens, this budget motel puts the park within walking distance, but the immediate area has limited dining options and feels less secure at night.

The motel sits directly across from Busch Gardens, making it the closest accommodation for park visitors. Restaurants within a short walk include Pizza Hut, Petra, Kreyol Delight Haitian Restaurant, and Caribbean Crown, all about 0.5 km away. Further options like Serengeti Overlook Restaurant (2 km) and Sami's Bakery (1 km) are a bit farther. The neighborhood has a higher-than-average presence of loitering and noise after dark, and the parking lot is poorly lit. Use the free on-site parking and consider using a rideshare for other destinations.
