If you’re looking for somewhere to lay your head, this is the spot. There’s a restaurant attached but has nothing to do with the hotel. They don’t even allow you to take pictures for your review. Property has free but small parking lot and was under construction. Staff was friendly and helpful. There was no breakfast.

Its a good enough stay for a night or two. It could use some updates but for the price, it was good. Location is great, central enough for getting around to all the best places in Tampa. I would stay again. It was too cold for pool time and it was under construction so we didn't check it out.

It's a great older hotel but in need of restoration. We were only informed that pool was closed a couple days before arrival when it would have been hard to change plans. It was great for location but could have been cleaner. Beds were clean and comfortable. Floors not as much. Nearby restaurant was good.

The restaurant had great food. The staff at the hotel were amazing however the pictures on the website don't match the appearance of the rooms. There should have been a notice that the hotel was under renovations and the pool was not available. The rental car that we had was damaged during our stay.

Staff was great, parking was hard, room was outdated, very few lights, bed had huge footboard that made it impossible to see the tv, bathtub had jacuzzi jets which was nice but didn't look clean enough to relax in. Very nice that there is a separate restaurant attached to the hotel with pretty good food! Only stayed one night - it wasn’t bad (bed was comfortable, sheets were clean) but it wasn’t the best either.

Didn’t get what I paid for, I got a superior king but didn’t get that room upon arrival, when I asked about it, she said “all rooms are the same price anyways”. Knowing I paid more that room. The halls and rooms smells bad. Everything is closed. They told me it’s a no smoking property. But yet everyone is smoking outside of main entrance. A lot of Empty cans and shooters in parking lot. They had no towels, I asked for an extra and they said “we have to check what we have” For the price I expected a lot more. The lady in the mornings was pretty rude.

The was room was clean. The bed sunk in the middle (missing middle bed frame leg) underneath. Both lamps did not work. Burned out bathroom light. Couldn’t watch tv in bed as footboard covered up most of the tv. The little patio was nice, but the chairs were rusty and broken. Pool being redone and no tiki bar.

Misleading Photos – Major Maintenance and Hygiene Issues I am writing this review to warn others that this hotel looks nothing like the professional photos advertised online. I chose this property specifically for the pool and the updated appearance in the pictures, but the reality was a complete letdown. Key Issues: * Misleading Marketing: The photos are clearly outdated or heavily edited. The property is in a state of significant deterioration. * Hygiene: This was the most upsetting part. I found a fingernail in my bedsheets, and the stairs leading to the rooms had a persistent, unpleasant odor. * Room Condition: The bathroom was incredibly outdated. Even worse, the plumbing was so loud that the shower made a disruptive noise whenever someone in the neighboring room used theirs. The ceiling paint was also cracking and peeling. * Accessibility: Only the main building has an elevator. I was assigned a room on the second floor of a side building and had to haul my heavy suitcases up the stairs myself. * The Pool: A major reason for my booking was the pool, but it looked like it hadn't been filled or maintained in a very long time. It was unusable and eyesore. Verdict: The management needs to be honest and update their photos to reflect the current state of the hotel. I feel completely misled and would not recommend staying here until a full renovation and deep cleaning take place.
