Ramada by Wyndham Temple Terrace/Tampa North
Ten minutes from Busch Gardens, breakfast included
About this hotel
A ten-minute drive from Busch Gardens and eight from the University of South Florida makes this one of the more genuinely convenient bases in the cluster, without the higher rates closer to the park gates. The free continental breakfast includes biscuits, gravy and waffles, and the adjacent IHOP Restaurant covers a heartier morning option when needed. Rooms include a 43-inch flat-screen TV with Direct TV, a microwave and refrigerator, and the poolside sun deck gives families a relaxed spot between park visits. The Florida State Fairgrounds sit fourteen minutes away for a non-park day option, and a business centre in the lobby covers any work that needs doing along the way. All rooms are non-smoking, and select rooms add a seating area with sofa bed for extra sleeping space.
- Close to Busch Gardens
- Breakfast included
- Pool with sun deck
Our take
I would pick this Ramada for a value-focused Adventure Island trip: Busch Gardens is about ten minutes' drive away, breakfast is included, and the adjacent IHOP covers a bigger morning meal. Rooms with a microwave and refrigerator help with snacks, and the pool deck suits a quiet evening. Families who want to walk to the park gates should look at hotels closer in.
- ✓Ask for one of the rooms with a seating area and sofa bed if you need extra sleeping space, since only select rooms have one.
- ✓Use the adjacent IHOP for a heartier breakfast on days you skip the included continental option.
- ✓Plan a Florida State Fairgrounds visit on a non-park day, fourteen minutes from the hotel.
