OASIS BAY SUITES, Tampa, Busch Gardens, USF

8/10 Good
"Very affordable I’ll start with that, check in staff was not helpful; it was late and he “forgot” to tell us that there’s only one entrance. Put us in the back building so we parked in the back and had to walk all around the building front with our stuff then says “ I didn’t tell you that?!?” Our door looked as though someone previously tried to break in, the A/C worked better in the front of the room then the actual bedroom half and was so very loud! Hot water took a minimum of 5 minutes to from sink and shower. Overall it could be a very nice hotel but needs some major renovations, the breakfast buffet was really great, and all of the staff in that area was very kind and welcoming. We also found it very odd and old-fashioned that when we checked in, they took a photocopy of our ID who even has a copy machine anymore and where is the picture of my ID floating around now? We definitely got what we paid for. Lastly, when we checked out, I handed the girl the keys and told her that we were checking out. She said that’s all, Have a good day."
