Lodging

University Inn
This is the closest hotel near ot Hoblit's Hideaway. Its in walking distance of a few restaurants and is a hotel that is also relatively close to Ybor City where the venue is located. It isn't the nicest place but its close to everything, including downtown. It may very well be one of the cheapest as well.
Downtown Hotels
Hoblit's Hideaway / Bread Box Studios is pretty close to downtown and any of the Hotels listed on the above Google search link will also be close to Channelside night life as well as a five minute drive to Hoblit's place in Hyde Park.

Closest to Ybor City / The Ritz / The Venue

Hilton Garden Inn
This is going to be one of the closest hotels to the venue. Its very expensive but they are tied in with The Ritz Ybor and if there is enough interest generated, a Songfight! block can be established. This hotel is in crawling distance of the venue as well as every other bar in the Ybor City District.
Don Vicente De Ybor Historic
This has to be the closest hotel to the actual venue and like the place above it will be very expensive because of that. Again, within crawling distance of the venue and every other bit of night life in the Ybor City District.

Cheap others nearby:  Park Motel,   Harbor Lite Motel,   Howard Johnson

Sleeps one:  Hoblit's Hideaway is already accomodating the only weary traveler that it has space for.
