Horrible
Looks like transient workers reside long term in the back half of the hotel. The hotel is run down and poorly maintained. Overall seedy neighborhood. One night and we were out of here.
We arrived at 1:30am after driving 7 hours. We were too tired to change hotels. The location was good. The front desk clerk was nice but the room was horrible. Bugs everywhere including beds, walls, sink and fridge. Dirty washcloths in bathroom. ...

Generally, we did not feel safe from the time we arrived until the time we left the next morning. The room was clean and you could tell there had be attempts to update. However, the room across the hall from us got a visitor knocking on the door...

Service and cleanliness exceeds expected for price.Could use more parking.“While this is not the best location in Tampa, it is safe and the motel is very clean and the service is extremely good. If you are doing bush gardens, this is the cleanest...
When we checked in, I knew it was fishy. The staff was friendly though. As time went on we found more and more stuff to be bad! There were people lurking around outside and in. People outside at all hours of the night. Apparently drunk, you could...
