Literally the worst hotel I’ve stayed at – ever. Filthy, chair had like 50 questionable stains. Dirty floor. Terrible smell/ odor. Hole in bathroom ceiling, from which mouse droppings covered the bathroom floor. Molding all chewed away by rats and left unrepaired. Could hear either mice or cockroaches scurrying all night. No shades on 3 lamps, one of which sputtered like morse code until we shut it off. Bathroom sink full of shaving hairs – room had not been cleaned. 3 doors down from about 25 teenagers and a literal wall of drug haze emitting from it. I cannot believe Expedia has this as a “recommended” result – literally should be shut down by board of health. Disgusting, I cleaned, unsafe. Do not stay here.

For sure the most disgusting hotel I have ever seen in my life. Cockroaches walking around, blood-stained sheets, human hair on sheets and in bathroom. I simply had to leave and look for a different place. Yolanda, the manager, refused to reimburse me for the room.

The hotel was not in the best condition. For the price it felt like a rip off even with it being across from the theme parks. There were roaches, the room wasn’t clean. My husband had to buy bleach and sanitizer spray and clean up himself. My family and I were very uncomfortable and unhappy with the stay. We will most definitely make sure to not go back.

Not worth it!

This hotel is dirty and unkept. The walls are dirty, the furniture is dirty, there’s holes in the walls, and the traffic there is mostly drug addicts and homeless people. I will say it’s my fault for not reading the reviews on this hotel but we just chose a spot for a one night stay that was not supposed to happen! The check in guy was nice I will say but other than that I would NEVER stay there again!

Decent

Old hotel - tv didn’t work, area is a little shady and it’s gonna be loud at night. All in all it was the cheapest in the area ($250 for 1 night at the nearby la Quinta), not an exciting room but there weren’t bugs or anything questionable. Just an old building. If you need a bed for the night it’s the move - wouldn’t bring kids here.

Don’t Do It!!

I made a huge mistake by not reading the reviews and just booking the Tampa Inn. When we arrived at 9:45 pm there was a sign on the locked door that said “be back in five or ten minutes”. I should have taken that as a warming. But I went back to the rental car and waited for 15 minutes and looked for a new booking. Well about 25 minutes later and no availability at any other hotel, I decided to bite the bullet and get our room. We were assigned room 339 and as I drove around the building to find this room, I almost hit three people enjoying a blunt. It appeared most people lived in motel and we were the only “tourists”. Well… we had this much invested so we had to see the room. Holy Toledo! I ran out of there it screamed bedbugs. Needless to say, we slept in our car

Roach motel

Well there were cockroaches and spiders. Hair dryer did not work. No blankets, just a sheet and a flimsy coverlet with holes. The mattress was firm and seemed clean. No tissues in the room. Oh and no breakfast....just coffee.

Go across the street

I had been calling the hotel throughout the day, letting them know that my flights were being cancelled and delayed. When I finally got into town, my uber dropped me off at 2am. I get to the hotel window, no one is there and there is a sign taped to the window…..”come back in 10-15 minutes “. There are people sleeping on the side of the building and by the dumpster. People are walking back and forth, cars pulling in and out, that are not hotel guest. After sitting on the curb with my taser in hand, for about 20 minutes, I began to call the hotel. No answer. I began knocking on the window and door. I sat outside for almost an hour. I got in my room at 3:06am. For the most part, the room itself, was clean. The fridge had a big glob of growing ice and the shelves were broken, the sheets were very dingy, wrinkled, cigarette burns and the pillows were awful. And I was in a non smoking room. I ended up laying the blanket that I had with me for the plane ride, on the sheets to sleep on. This hotel needs to be updated, better quality bedding and definitely needs to improve the premises conditions. For 150 a night and Bush Gardens to be across the street, I expected better. I had to stay one more night after those two and ended up going across the street to the La Quinta. It was $10 cheaper a night and 100X nicer.
