Dirty! Worst hotel I have ever stayed in!

If I could rate this a -100 I would the hotel is dirty,the bed sheets were used it had obvious bodily fluids on the sheets Im wondering the last time they were changed. Room had used condom under the bed and in the bathroom. The entire hotel smelled like dirty cigarettes. All night long was illicit behavior in the parking lot and in the hallways not a very safe or clean place to stay. I requested a refund but the hotel nor hotel.com would refund. I booked a room for three nights and left the next morning, I would’ve left that night, but I checked in too late and could not find another place to stay. I should have slept in my car. I need to call my credit card to deny charges because nobody should have to pay for a room like that. This hotel should not be in business!

This place is in deplorable condition, the building is falling apart, there where broken windows and its just plain filthy!!! There are questionable people walking around everywhere and when i went to check in the office was locked with no one to be found, there was a sign saying be back in 5-10 min i waited awhile and left!! My cab driver even asked if i was gonna be okay!! There was also an option to pay extra 4.50$ in case you wanted to cancel which i paid!! They refuse to give my money back and said i never attempted to check in!! This place shouldnt be open and the hotel next door say they hear this story all the time!!

Liked that the staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean and tidy. Microwave and small fridge worked well. There was no coffeemaker. The toilet was not secured properly and no bathtub stopper. Broken fire alarm. Paid $40.00 extra for the two dogs.

People live there and it is outdoor. Main stairwell smells like urine and you don’t get a refund for checking out early. There were roaches in the bath tub and roach droppings in the corners. The toilet was filthy and so were the refrigerator and microwave. There were dead roaches in the fridge and freezer. Do not stay here. I got a room in the Holiday Inn next door because the conditions were so poor

Don’t select Tampa Inn

The property was dirty and there is a broken down bus in the parking lot. This property had numerous groups of people hanging around smoking and drinking, broken down vehicles and people were letting their dogs defecate on the lawn by the pool and leave it behind. We did not feel safe and did not even want to check out the rooms. Typically we have never had any issues with a property sponsored by hotels.com but this one is a minus, and will make me investigate further any other time I use hotels.com for hotel services.
