Not a good place to stay. I recommend that Hotels.Com remove this hotel out of the listing it making Hotel.com look very bad. They don’t have any professionalism. Dirty place it located in a bad area. I have a horrible experience.

This place should be condemned. To start our room was given to someone else. The hallway had a foul odor that stayed in your nose. They eventually found a room and it was trash. A roach was roaming around and a ton of bugs flying by the window. The walls had holes, dents and the restroom wall was literally peeling off. Everything was in total distress. It was so disgusting I cannot believe Orbitz would partner with a place like this. It looked like a place where maybe homeless people were given a voucher for shelter. Needless to say we went elsewhere for our stay in Tampa.
