OASIS BAY SUITES, Tampa, Busch Gardens, USF

The free shuttle to the parks saved us about $84 in parking fees, and the hotel parking itself was free with plenty of spaces. Breakfast was excellent, with lots of tasty choices. We also loved the pool area over Memorial Day weekend. It was refreshing and relaxing, with a fun atmosphere, a live DJ, and mimosas by the pool. The staff were courteous and welcoming throughout, and our suite was spotless, modern, and spacious. It looked even better in person than in the photos. The whole visit was easy and comfortable, from check-in to check-out. We were beyond impressed and will absolutely return to Oasis Bay Suites on our next trip to Tampa.

For a good price, this was a solid stay, and we'd come back. The location is very convenient, really close to Busch Gardens, and the hotel is family-friendly. Our room was dated but fairly clean, which suited us fine. The free breakfast was just okay, but since it was free, I can't complain much.

The breakfast was good, with three kinds of eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, and fresh fruit. The lobby was sparkling clean, and the warm welcome made a great first impression. I didn't get their names, but he was sweet and she was so helpful. We got a first-floor room by the pool and breakfast area, which was handy with kids. The pool was crystal clear, right outside our door. It could be noisy at night, probably because some parents raise animals instead of kids. Our room was clean and sanitized, and housekeeping was always on top of things. You could see them working all day. The laundry room was clean and took credit cards, which was a big plus. The AC felt a bit cold even to us New Yorkers, but we adjusted it and were fine. There's also an on-site store with everything from nail polish remover to ice cream cones. I don't have one bad thing to say. We'll definitely be back!

The rooms are excellent for the price, with a very comfortable bed and pillows. Everything was very clean, and the lush landscaping and pool area were comfortable and well maintained. It's close to Busch Gardens and the cruise terminals, which is why we stay here. The Indian buffet used to be one of the best in the area, and we were disappointed to find it had apparently been closed for two weeks. They still advertise it, with signs in front of the hotel and restaurant hours on Google. Even the breakfast area has the restaurant's signage, which is very misleading.
