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.
Very dirty!
That was the worst place I ever seen . I believe the jail of 3rd world country is more clean than this hotel. Hallway awe full .back Exit door broken glass and fixed by wood . Room lamp had no bulb .room Floor full of dirt . Room door , never seen like that before full of jerm . I checked the room and then immediately returned the key back to reception and checked out and stayed in another place .
Place was not good Checked out early
Disgusting!!! room’s dirty, carpet dirty, lights doesn’t work properly, Stagnant water in the tub.
I don’t know why Orbitz has allowed this motel to advertise on its website. The staff is great, but the place is physically a dump and it is lacking in security. The hallways are okay, but there were piles of trash in the stair wells. The elevator was broken. None of the lamps in my room had lampshades and one of them had a lightbulb missing. The bottoms of the doors were frayed. The TV did not get more than 2 stations and the doors to the outside were propped open all night. This motel is probably used by the state of Florida to house homeless people. That’s great. I am all for that, but I don’t want to spend four days of my vacation in a homeless facility. The photographs of the pool make it look nice, but the rooms are awful. I don’t recommend this place for most people.
This was the worse motel I have ever stayed at. I felt very unsafe and I had my husband with me. Our room was not clean and had roaches in it. It was the only hotel that had a room to get off the hwy from tropical storm Elsa The staff didn't care when I told them. This is a quack shack motel. Don't stay here!! From homeless to hookers and cross dressers standing outside and in the lobby it was very uncomfortable.
Disgusting. Crack hotel. Should be condemned
They are cheap.
This place looked like a hoe house. No body wear mask in the place and the staff never cleaned your room. THe rooms and floor were dirty when we checked in to the place.
The property is in poor condition, minimum to none maintenance, many people smoking around, the smell to smoke is in every hallway. My worst experience and fears.
No masks by staff (ever)! People smoking in the hallways, cabinets falling off hinges. Carpet dirty, Fridge filthy. I travel all over the US. Worst place I have ever stay at in the US.
Gave me a room with people in it. Then came me a new room with dirty sheets, hair on the floor and a hole in the ceiling. Absolutely disgusting
DO NOT RESERVE!!! Filthy hotel! Very disgusting and dirty. Smelt bad every where. Ac leaking. Sheet looks like there’s bed bugs I was scared to sit on the bed. People lived in those rooms and idle crack heads outside. I left in 5 minutes I thought they’d rob me! DO NOT RESERVE!
Dont use this place, not clean at all, needs to be shut down and deep clean throughout including walls
Place was beyond the worst hotel i have seen, even though at the end they offer a refund (they had a no refund policy) i do not recommend anyone this place, hard to know where to even start with poop on wall in the restroom to hallways full of cloth water and garbage, to toilets been so dirty with poop and ants on beds and not small ants a lot of big ants
