Avoid this place
This hotel is infested with roaches, and their presence is noticeable as they scurry around the room. The room reeks like an old smoking bar, and the shower barely produces a drizzle due to the poor water pressure. Adding to the disappointment, the sheets, pillows, and all bedding were stained with various substances, both old and new looking. It's evident that fresh sheets were not provided. My recommendation would be to avoid staying here altogether and choosing anywhere else. The owners should just knock this place down.

The Tampa Inn has improved greatly. This place and these people have been wonderful to me and easy to deal with since my first stay long ago. I look forward to staying here many more times.
