The vending machine had most of their food shaken out because the first couple slots were empty. I was gonna pay extra, to get what was a few slots back, but it just took my money. There was one vending machine only. The attendant both at night and the day attendant were awesome. Both extremely friendly and helpful. The motel/hotel was a tad rundown. If someone really wanted to get in my room, it would not take much to get through the door. There was a gap where u could see to the outside and the door lock was real iffy.
The hotel has a great location. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything that you need during your trip. More importantly, the staff is friendly and will go out of their way to make sure that you have a wonderful stay. Truly an outstanding hotel with an outstanding group of people taking care of you while you are there. If you are staying in Tampa, I highly recommend it.
Very nice hotel and staff...already rated.*************************************************************************************************************************************************
Nice hotel and very friendly staff. Everyone there very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was a nice assortment of coffee, Danish, French toast and fresh fruit.
Wonderful staff and clean property! Easily located in nice area
Only stayed one night, was pleased with the accommodations and amenities!
great place, recently updated. has a laundry room.
Great breakfast buffet! Comfortable, but compact room. Every thing worked as promised. Hostess was very amicable & breakfast lady was right on top of things. Shower water was greatly softened. Nice!
Met my basic needs; appreciated the pool; did not appreciate 2nd floor unit - I had requested first floor due to bad knees.
Check in and out was quick and easy. The room was spacious, but the bed wasn't all that comfortable.
It is a basic hotel. We just needed a bed for a night after attending an event Tampa before driving back to the east coast. I wasn't expecting luxury, but clean and reasonably comfortable. The pictures looked like the place was clean and decent and even remodeled. It probably has had some paint in recent years, but it isn't a modern place, old style, small room layout. Again, all of that would have been OK. We checked in and the front desk clerk was very nice and efficient. We entered the room and realized it was a little old and worn, but thought, OK for just one quick night, it will be OK. We went to our event and returned about 11 pm. When we entered the room and turned on the light, two baby roaches scurried away on top of the microwave which sat on top of the fridge. That grossed us out. Then we saw another one in the bath tub. The wash cloths were a bit stained. The water in the sink smelled of Sulphur. The bathroom door stuck and made a noise when you got it open, so we didn't close it over night for fear of waking each other up when we went to the bathroom. The anti skid tub mat was also gross. So we slept partially clothed as the thought of what the sheets might be like was troubling and we didn't want bugs crawling on us while we slept. We did not use the shower due the smell of the water and the questionable cleanliness of the towels. I told a different clerk at check out and she was also very nice. She gave us a $35 discount. Wont be going back
The bed was hard to sleep on. The promised wifi didn't exist. I could only sleep until around 3 am and had to leave.
Dead bolt on the door did not work. 2 of the 4 lamps did not work. No hot water at the lavatory. The stool did not flush properly. There was a constant humming noise in the room. The tub itself was old and shows wear, the tub surround was good.The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was ok, nothing to get excited about.
It is a decent hotel, no more and no less than what you need.
No issues, was comfortable and convenient. Friendly at the front desk and helpful. Complimentary was nice to have as well. We enjoyed our stay and will come back next time in tampa.
It was a nice hotel. Great staff. The room was nice but a bit run down. It was a no smoking room but it smelled of smoke the minute I opened the door. The TV in the living area didn't work but the one in the bedroom did.
The motel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in South Tampa but only about 10-15 minutes from downtown. My room was clean and comfortable and the continental breakfast was enough to get you started in the morning.
This hotel cheated me out of my money and Orbitz would not require them to refund it. When my trip was delayed a day, the hotel refused to move my reservation forward, preferring to cheat me out of my money and leave a room empty rather than giving me any value for the money I paid. Do not prepay for a room at this hotel unless you want to be cheated.
Check In was pleasant. Staff was very cheerful and made it a point to advise you of all admenities offered at the hotel.
This hotel's location was perfect for Busch Gardens, Lowrey Park Zoo as well as close to airport. Pool was open until 9:00 pm, a big plus for kids Laundry machines did need to be upgraded
