I’m extremely disappointed with my stay at Best Western Tampa. The hotel is under serious construction, which was never mentioned anywhere in the listing or in the emails before my stay. The property is dirty, torn apart, and unsafe — hallways are full of dust and debris, carpets are stained, walls and shower curtains are grimy, and the air conditioning units look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. I had to switch rooms twice due to mold and poor air quality, which is concerning for anyone, but especially as I’m pregnant. My coworker and I both developed coughs after a couple of nights here. The breakfast area is right beside an active construction zone and didn’t feel food-safe. The gym and pool are closed. The photos online must be outdated or edited, because the real condition of this hotel is shocking. Guests should have been warned so we could cancel in advance. In its current state, this hotel should not be open to the public. The property only refunded one of our rooms, and refused to refund the second room.

The hotel is currently undergoing renovations. I was given a room that had some sort of a chemical smell, tape still on the smoke detector from where they had painted, and there was no hair dryer. It was a good value and I only there to sleep for a bit so was okay.
