My work has taken me all over the US and every now and again you find a truly unique place. The Cozy AF Medusa bus isn't the Marriott - it's a place to look in all the nooks and crannies of your imagination and enjoy them. Cool fun chill vibe - easy access - enjoyed our stay!

The stay was very fun and interesting! Only issue was the water didn’t get hot enough for me. It did get hot just not piping hot how I normally like it.

Amazing spot!

We absolutely loved it! Communication is great with the owner. Attention to detail on this place is not spared. My only complaint is we didn’t get to spend more time enjoying it since we had things going on!

Awesome place, very unique! You can tell a lot of care went into putting it together. I'm 6'0" and about 200 pounds and didn't find getting around difficult, but might be worth keeping that in mind if you're much bigger than me.

The host was very quick to respond and very helpful throughout our stay.We were in town for a Lightning game and the location worked out great — it’s just a quick Uber ride to Amalie Arena, which honestly makes a lot more sense than trying to deal with game-night parking and downtown hotel prices.The bus itself is private and quirky, but in an authentic way. We’ve stayed at similar places before that felt cheap or overly staged, and this definitely didn’t — it had real character.The property feels very secluded with a “secret garden” vibe, and the hot tub was a big bonus after being out all evening. The bus is cozy but still comfortable, and we slept well.Overall, a really unique stay and we would absolutely come back.

Perfect place to be close to Ybor but have space

There would not be enough time nor space to tell you everything about this location. Pictures do not do it justice at all. So many comforts and small details throughout the space.

This was absolutely amazing. The vibe was on point and you felt the calm take over as soon as you walk in. It was super cool to stay there and honestly, I didn't want to leave. I absolutely loved this place and Gabriel was super cool too. He was very helpful with everything and very fast at answering anything I asked and got back in no time. I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone. If I am ever to cone back to Tampa, I will definitely stay there again. Just and fyi..... if you are over 5'10", it may not work out for you in the shower. Lol.

An Adventure

We thought the Mudusa Bus-Lux was a great experience. Our 11 year old granddaughter was so excited. She had the best time. Now she can say she stayed the night in a school bus. Her words. The renovation work was beautiful. We highly recommend it and will probably stay again.
