Disgusting
Prostitutes, drug addicts and filth abound. Bareley rented, had late arrival and the entire property was dark. Had to find the entrance after several attempts, as the gate I was told to use was locked. Next to sewerage treatment plant which infused the air inside as well as outside. I had tio leave first thing next day and went to a real hotel. This is the worst space I ever stayed AT, SO DIRTY....THE BAR WAQS A TOP-LESSBAR. wILL NOT BE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU EVER AGAIN IF THIS IS A RECDOMMENDATION. nOT EVEN NEar the area I asked for which abounded with first clss hotels. Ripped off three timesw by you and that spells the end.

Great place for the price
the Staff was friendly as could be, the lobby was nice and clean. Rooms were very nice with a fridge, coffee maker, and blow dryer in them. The pillows were the comfiest ever lOL. We had a good time and for only $54.00 a night you couldn't go wrong!

Nicer than I expected
We got the hotel room to attend WMNF's annual Heat Wave event in Ybor City (which is a blast). Accommodations were perfect.

HOJO in Tampa
Low price seems to be indicator for type of customer. Loud harley's, cars partys until early morning. Continental breakfast? LOL; no need to offer. Room OK for price - same room at same price in Korea has TV with all channels and a computer with free internet (standard)

I went with a group of friends for a bachelor party. The rooms weren't terrible. You can find worse out there. If you are looking for a nice hotel; however, this is not it. The bed spreads and sheets had stains on them. One of the rooms had a tub that did not drain well and both rooms smelled of cigarettes even though we specified non-smoking rooms. On the bright side, we were close to Ybor City and the highway. If you just want a place to crash for a night, then this is fine but I would not recommend for a family vacation or anything like that.

Nightlife tip:
Short drive from hotel
The hotel did have a lounge with live music if you like country. Ybor City is not far away at all, just a short drive. Same for one of Tampa's famous strip clubs.

ugh.
Stayed here after a concert at the Florida State Fairgrounds. Thank goodness it was only for the night. They jacked the price, I assume because of the concert (twice what it would normally run). While the staff was very pleasant, this was perhaps one of the most disgusting, stinky, god awful rooms I have every stayed in, and I've stayed in some pretty bad places around the world during my travels.
