Where do I start. The whole hotel smells like marijuana. Bad enough to give you a headache. The hotel is very sketchy and in a sketchy area. I travel with a service dog. They are so uneducated. They accused me of being fake because I did not have an ID for my service dog. I tried to explain the people with the ID's are the fakes. I even pulled up Amazon to show them. The staff really needs to be trained on ADA laws.

Hotel's Favourite
This place was a saving grace for us. After checking into and swiftly out of the hotel from hell and spending 3 hours looking at the filthy motels in and around Tampa we finally found this place at 3am. The price was reasonable, the staff kind and friendly and the room nice and clean. If in the area to visit Busch Gardens this is the place I would recommend. Ita about a 15 min drive from the park. The hotel has free breakfast and parking too. Thanks for a good stay!

There are people smoking (cigarettes, weed and other drugs) in the hallways. The rooms reek of cigarette smokes. Room is dirty, front desk staff employee is rude and unhelpful. Very sketchy hotel in a sketchy area. Avoid at all costs (not a cheap hotel either!) unless you’re into this kinda place

Stayed here for a second time for the Gasparilla Half Marathon and what a terrible decision this hotel was. I expect at least clean sheets when paying $212 a night. Dirty sheets, dirty bathroom, noisy, and an unsanitary breakfast area. I contacted the hotel before posting this and they sent a canned response which did not address my concerns. When I arrived at the hotel, the first thing I saw were the three homeless people sitting in the parking lot washing their hands with a bottle of water. When I brought this up to the front desk they didn’t seem to care which made it seem like the norm. The hotel is not located in a great area. Once I checked into the hotel room,I turned down the sheets and it was DIRTY. There was black dirt and debris all in the sheets (see picture). The shower was also dirty. I tried to call the front desk from the room but the phone did not work. I went to the front desk and shortly a lady from housekeeping came into the room to inspect the room. She said the sheets would be changed and came back with two ladies who stripped both beds and remade with clean sheets. They also cleaned the shower. Although I am grateful for the quick response from housekeeping, this never should have happened. The least I expect from a hotel room is CLEAN SHEETS. Why should I have to ASK for a clean bathroom and clean sheets. Be warned — if you stay here, immediately pull the sheets down to check that you aren’t about to stay in the same sheets as the last person from the room!! Ick! Had an awful nights sleep because of how thin the walls are. I should have just slept in the lobby. I didn’t have this problem when I stayed before, the first floor was a terrible location. The next day while finishing breakfast, I saw the staff clean the kitchen area. They used the same towel to clean the waffle maker as they used to clean the floor!!!! How disgusting!!!! So unsanitary. The health inspector needs to make a visit- this place is GROSS!!! Do not stay here. Everything is dirty, you won’t have a good nights sleep, and it is way over priced. So disappointed.

I stayed here for 2 nights while visiting the area. The room was clean and comfortable. You had to have a voucher to partake of the morning breakfast which had a good selection of morning favorites. There was a large group staying on my floor which at times got loud during the night. Security kept a lid on the noise. The pool area was large with plenty of room. This is a non-smoking hotel. Neighborhood is kind of lousy but guests are isolated from it. If your room ends in 30, you have a long walk to your room

Was very Leary of staying here even considered canceling after reading reviews,HOWEVER, We did not have the bad experience I was anticipating The girl who checked us in was very friendly and personable, our room was very clean, it was early evening so we sat out by the pool which was very clean. On the downside breakfast was lacking just about everything, Only a few apples, oranges, yogurts & waffles were available. The neighborhood is not the best and there are a lot of beggers & homeless around, but none were on hotel property while we were there.

This place is HORRIBLE! Upon entering I handed Ms. personality my confirmation and she just looked at me and said license and credit card. I said here is my confirmation and was totally ignored. Then I was asked if I would like to pay the hotel fee cash or credit. I asked, what is the hotel fee!? And she and answered a fee the hotel charges for its services. I said why is this and was told because I booked through a third party vendor. I said I booked through Choice Hotels Website and got the response, oh well. Later that evening my wife called the front desk and asked for extra pillows and was told they did not have any. (We had 4 18” x 18” thin pillows in the room) the pillows were so small you needed three or four just to put under your head. I called the front desk and asked about the hot water (which was luke warm at best) and was told it was that way because they didn’t want anyone to get burned. Breakfast was pretty poor, however we didn’t expect much anyway and ate elsewhere. Upon returning around 4pm from a long day at a trade show I had already planned a cold shower but to my amazement the room was not cleaned yet! I asked the maid in the hall and she said she was not cleaning that room. I walked up to the front desk and was told the maid is correct. I was told that if I would like maid service I need to request it in advance (but wait a minute I paid the hotel fee!). Fortunately they had a few clean towels they gave me and we returned to our unmade room. I left this hotel wondering how a business could be so un-caring towards its guest. If you plan on visiting the Tampa are I would advise staying elsewhere. Also note it’s not in the best part of town. There were actually a bunch of homeless living next to a dumpster (not the hotels) as you exit the property. Also if you do stay here make sure to get a room apposite the highway.

First of all, I will say that the staff was efficient upon check in, but barely a welcome smile. The room “looked” nice when we walked in, but the floors were filthy. I normally let my kids walk around barefoot at home, but I had to have them wear shoes in the room. The amenities were decent, fridge, tv, etc. The pillows were great, though. The chair in the room was falling apart and the walls had some stains. Breakfast was ok, waffles, cereal and fruit. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about because it was free. I was disappointed that there was nowhere near the hotel to go get a decent cup of coffee, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Overall, it was an ok stay, but we’ll be staying somewhere else next time we visit Tampa.
