A casual 2-star stay offering amenities ranging from free Wi-Fi to continental breakfast, Baymont Inn & Suites is a great place to stay if you’re traveling on a budget. Across the street from Busch Gardens and just a block away from the University of South Florida, the area’s become a mainstay for families looking to get a quick vacation while visiting their child. Twenty miles from Tampa International Airport, you’ll need a solid ride to get to and from your flight. Take advantage of your surroundings by making sure you’ve got a shuttle ready, whether it’s courtesy of a private provider or through the city’s public transportation.
Enjoy what’s around your hotel by making sure you know where to grab a bite first. Do so by driving along East Busch Boulevard, home to a slew of restaurants ranging from familiar names like Olive Garden and IHOP to local landmarks, Zeko’s and Mel’s. Go on an adventure afterward by looking forward to the renowned attractions of University Square, from the Museum of Science & Industry to the family-friendly Adventure Island. There’s also Lettuce Lake Park, a beautiful oasis offering an easy outing on the docks with all the freedom in the world to either fish, picnic, barbecue, or simply watch the sunset.
