My experience at this hotel was disappointing. The room had a strong smell of cigarette smoke from the moment I entered, which was very uncomfortable. This really affected my stay, as I expected a clean and pleasant room.

The most important part of this room is it was economical and clean. Cleanliness is important to me. Breakfast wasn't fancy but had refrigerated sandwiches to heat up in microwave. Yogurt fruit and bagels also. Thank you

I got a bad impression as I arrived at the hotel and got a room I hadn't booked and the beds in bad condition I went back to loby to get the room I had booked and then I went to the room and it was a big disappointment as there was a cigarette smell and the bedding in bad condition damaged. Broken mattress was useless I slept on a metal base and I had to leave the place earlier because I had many bites on my body. They must go for a hotel inspection because the images displayed on the website have nothing to do with what I saw when I entered the room

Do not recommend

Could have written a bit more but ran into character limit. We stayed for two nights while in Tampa for a concert. Positives: The room was generally clean and the lights, fridge, sink, shower, and such seemed to work (room doesnt have a phone). The AC did work and keep the room cool, but its a bit loud. Negatives: The door on the original room we were given wasnt properly locking after we closed it and opened without scanning our key card. It's security latch was also broken. When talking to the front desk person about it, he went up and showed us it worked when slamming it so hard the wall literally shook. We requested and got moved to another room. The new door did work normally, however the deadbolt didn't properly go into an indent in the doorplate (making it practically useless) and there was no longer a security latch. Also, when I checked in I was only asked to provide my ID, not the IDs of the 2 other guests on the 3 person reservation. The next night at around 2am right after we had returned from the concert, we received loud angry pounding on the door from the man on the night shift (no announcement it was motel staff until after I opened the door). Long story short, he noticed us on the cameras and thought we werent guests since the policy is all guests in the room must provide IDs and the Uber that dropped us off was still there. He did explain he was strict about it since there were 2 shootings there in the past year or so. I wouldnt recommend staying here.

Meh hotel

There's a big sign attached to the front of the lobby building that says that the property has been deemed to be a public nuisance and will have increased rules and increased patrol from law enforcement. The property is older and hasn't had much updating. My room reaked of cigarette smoke smell. However, my car was still there the next morning so I guess I can't complain too much.

I don't like being on the front side of the building. To much noise from the street not to mention the sun from that side seems brighter and hotter. But thank goodness they have been around during this transition in our life since Milton we have been displaced and they have been warm and welcoming to us staff can be difficult sometimes but can't everyone at least they are here when need a reasonable place to stay so we are not sleeping in our car again. Hugs and kisses 😘😚😘

I had to asked to a room with safety lock after 3 rooms found one. Toilet stopped flushing. Fixed promptly then broke again. Key card had to be reset 3times in just a 2 day stay. Staff very friendly and professional and very prompt to resolve my complaints. Pool was nice. Unfortunately the were installing a new roof during my brief stay which was loud for a Saturday. No work on Sunday but that was probably because of thunderstorms all day til 3pm. Room was relatively clean but did find some dead fruit flies in room. Did have good AC and working fridge and microwave a plus. If you are not staying in room except to sleep it will pass but not for confort.

Property in really poor condition. Not clean at all. Not safe. The room door's lock was not working properly. You should avoid this property.
