OASIS BAY SUITES, Tampa, Busch Gardens, USF
The room Smelled like mold. They tried to upgrade it with paint only. Everything about the room was SO Uncomfortable that I cancelled my stay and moved to another hotel. The Front desk person was very helpful and accommodating. The pool area's were very nice looking. But the Room was Horrible.
