visit to see family
Room was too small, dirty bed sheets and covers, no amenities, added electrical wiring for lamps unsightly, very limited TV selections. Pillows excellent. HJ needs to give customer clean bed.

Great hotel for the price!
I stayed at this hotel since I arrived into Tampa late at night around 9-10pm coming in from Lafayette, LA The guy at the front was very friendly and humorous as he mentioned that I looked like Clark Kent because of the picture on my drivers license. Upon entering the room all was well kept and clean. The bed was well made and the shower and bathroom area was well cleaned. It was a small room with a single bed since I was traveling solo. Again, since I only stayed one night all the necessities that I needed were there. A bed, a bathroom, a shower, a refrigerator to store my road trip food and drinks, and a TV. The location was great as well. A few restaurants were within a few blocks. All it would've taken was a short drive to which I did do. I went down the the Five Guys Burger down the road and ordered me a meal and brought it back to the hotel with me. I didn't stay too long at this hotel let alone in Tampa, but I would recommend this hotel as it fit my budget and provided me with all the necessities that I needed. I'd probably stay here again if I ever make my way back to Tampa, FL again. Breakfast wasn't anything too extravagant, but it satisfied my morning appetite. A bowl of cereal and some fruit along with juice and I was on the road after that.

Dining tip:
Short drive from hotel
It really depends on what you are looking for. I passed several different restaurants, but didn't go into most of them as I had a kitchenette and we usually ate at relatives house.

Nicest Howard Johnson Ever!
Very nice hotel. Very clean, super comfortable bed. Couldn't be happier with our stay. The first night of our stay, our neighbors were having a loud party. After one phone call, the front desk was all over it. They were incredibly attentive. Would definitely stay here again.
