Last year we stayed at the Best Western Brandon Hotel (motel) on Adamo Drive (Highway 60). It is on the corner of Ware Blvd., a little southwest of the I-4/I-75 interchange. There is a Beef O'Brady's sports bar/restaurant out front of it and the place was crawling with Late Model fans there for the Lucas Oil Late Model events at East Bay. The track is about a ten minute drive from there - tops. You are not going to go outside and go for a walk, for it is a highway, but if I remember, the prices were not bad at all for that week.
It worked out quite well for us and it is also pet friendly.
Don't laugh. I've held some great conversations over the years with my cat.
