st. Petersburg florida?

i plan on visiting florida for 1 1/2-2 weeks. I will be going in feb or march for baseball spring training. Where are a few nice places to stay? I am a college student so anything past 80.00 bucks a night is out. .. i know thats not a lot of money to work with but if i could stay somewhere thats cheap (but nice) that would be great. Im from detroit and I know there really isnt anyting amusing in lakeland where the tigers play. any ideas near lakeland i could stay for cheap?
thanks

Hey, I am a Tampa native. There are dozens and dozens of small inexpensive motels right on the beach in a string from Clearwater down to St Pete. I couldn’t name them for you I’m afraid, we’ve always just driven over and cruised around looking for a place that looks cool. One thing to consider: it is actually a very long commute from St Pete to Lakeland. I think it would be about an hour and a half at least, maybe worse. Like you said, there isn’t much over there in Lakeland but you might like it better on the east side of Tampa like maybe Brandon, or Plant City which is in between. That way you are between Lakeland and the beaches and close to places like Ybor City, Channelside, Bush Gardens and the other stuff Tampa has to offer. As for exact rates, I can’t help you but you should be able to pull up these areas online and find some hotels nearby. You might also look it up under Florida State Fairground which is on that side of town also. Good Luck and Have Fun!
