Gavd us ehat we needed, a bed to slerp in.

Cheap room with adequate sleep conditions. It is not a high end or fancy place, but for those looking for a place to lay your head, it suffices. I am guessing some rooms are better than others, I booked with Hotels dot com and it looked like the room I booked.

They gave me the worst room they had They said they no others but I seen plenty of open ones. It’s just me they didn’t want to give because I saw after me a white guy got a nice room. I paid online and received a email saying i don’t need to pay a deposit. They still wanted one. I tried to use the atm there but it was conveniently broken. So i

★☆☆☆☆ Terrible experience. The first room smelled strongly of smoke and looked nothing like the photos. We were moved to a second room, but the AC didn’t work—in the middle of a hot Florida summer. On top of that, there was no running water in the room at all—no sink, shower, or toilet. Completely unacceptable conditions. I have video proof. Do NOT book here. This place is a scam and should be shut down.

It is dirty anywhere. The ceiling and floor are broken. This room smells very bad.

Maricely, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

rooms are disgusting . No working tv , no working fridge , mood , no pool , cigarette burns everywhere. Dirty bed, floors and walls WTH, oh and the smell it’s like a trash can.. I had to disinfect the entire room… it’s horrible.. I had no choice because they already had my money & it would not be released for 10 days.. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. So sad I really want a full refund.
Daisy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We went to Busch Gardens. Needed a place to sleep. Pics looked nice. Pool looked super nice several pics. My kids picked this property. I walk in with my kids all in bathing suits. Front desk starts to check us ask for card to hold and says, Our pool does not work”. I said I have 3 kids that’s why we picked this place for the pool. I had to find another place, never checked in. It’s been 4 days cheap tickets refuses to help.. They charged my card. The hotel will not refund the my money. I have 2 Airbnbs on their sites and I know I am not allowed to advertise an amenity If it is down or no longer available I must notify all sites I advertise on to protect our integrity and keep guests happy and not demanding a refund for FALSE ADVERTISMENTS. These “Inn Keepers” should be ashamed of themselves keeping families money. When they are given 0% govt loans to buy these hotels, gas and liquor stores. They steal our hard working money. Liars and thieves. Cheap tickets acts Like they can’t get the owner to answer the phone. lol what a joke. All liars and thieves.

The room was so dirty it didn’t look like the pictures that was advertised at all, i understand the room was cheap but it looks like it wasn’t cleaned at all by room service. On top of that the toilet was clogged with the first time using it upon check in with no plunger in the room to use. horrible experience.

Do not recommend

Could have written a bit more but ran into character limit. We stayed for two nights while in Tampa for a concert. Positives: The room was generally clean and the lights, fridge, sink, shower, and such seemed to work (room doesnt have a phone). The AC did work and keep the room cool, but its a bit loud. Negatives: The door on the original room we were given wasnt properly locking after we closed it and opened without scanning our key card. It's security latch was also broken. When talking to the front desk person about it, he went up and showed us it worked when slamming it so hard the wall literally shook. We requested and got moved to another room. The new door did work normally, however the deadbolt didn't properly go into an indent in the doorplate (making it practically useless) and there was no longer a security latch. Also, when I checked in I was only asked to provide my ID, not the IDs of the 2 other guests on the 3 person reservation. The next night at around 2am right after we had returned from the concert, we received loud angry pounding on the door from the man on the night shift (no announcement it was motel staff until after I opened the door). Long story short, he noticed us on the cameras and thought we werent guests since the policy is all guests in the room must provide IDs and the Uber that dropped us off was still there. He did explain he was strict about it since there were 2 shootings there in the past year or so. I wouldnt recommend staying here.

Meh hotel

There's a big sign attached to the front of the lobby building that says that the property has been deemed to be a public nuisance and will have increased rules and increased patrol from law enforcement. The property is older and hasn't had much updating. My room reaked of cigarette smoke smell. However, my car was still there the next morning so I guess I can't complain too much.
