    The bed, your better off sleeping on a two by four. Room was full of spiders which means those spiders know where their food is at. Ice machine does not work. And if it is not bolted to your vehicle do not leave it outside. Cancel a month in advance or they will charge you every penny. Never again

    This hotel was extremely disappointing and honestly felt neglected. The bathtub was peeling badly, stained, and had visible rust around the drain. The caulking and grout looked dirty and poorly maintained, making the bathroom feel unsanitary. Around the toilet there was rust, grime, and obvious lack of cleaning. For the price paid, I expected a clean and properly maintained room, but this looked like it hadn’t been updated or deep cleaned in years. Definitely would not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable or hygienic experience.

Real piss poor attitude that should not work with the public. Taping right in front of the door so customers that don't smoke have to deal with her nasty habits.

    Checked out right after seeing my room. Giant cockroach hiding in toilet paper roll scared the soul out of me, toilet wouldn’t flush, lots of dirty things in room. I can handle old and outdated, but not dirty with giant roaches (not beetles, but roaches…I know the difference.) No seals on door, baseboards popping off wall & dirty, chairs had stains. Bathroom cabinets sealed closed, nowhere to store clothes or anything. Room was very dark with just a dim lamp, but I had flashlight & blue light to inspect and it was all just gross. They still charged me full price for the first night but I just couldn’t stay there, I’ld rather sleep in my car.

    This place is very affordable but disgusting. I booked this hotel for my wife and myself for 3 nights since it's within a mile of Raymond James and we were attending back to back shows there on Saturday and Sunday night. I checked in on a Friday, walked into our room, and checked out 15 minutes later because neither one of us could breathe without coughing and sneezing.The AC was blowing a mixture of dust and mold all over the room, the carpet floor was nasty, the whole room smelled musty with a faint cigarette smell, and everything metal in the room was rusty. The bathroom wasn't any better and there were no amenities in the room. I asked the clerk if there were any newer rooms and he said they were all the same, so I asked to check out. We didnt sit on the beds or disrupt anything in the room. He was polite and said we would get 2 nights refunded but might get just a partial refund for checking into the room, but would check with the manager the next day about getting a whole refund for that Friday. Out of $423 we were refunded $264. We found a room at the Holiday Inn about 3 miles away and paid more for it, especially last minute. Expedia was no help in getting us another place or applying any discounts. But it was our decision to leave so I get it. If you’re the type who reads reviews and values cleanliness, you'll want to pass on this place. Otherwise enjoy your nasty smelling room and have have fun finding all the crawling things that come out after dark.

    スタッフの方(フロント、お掃除)が感じ良く、とても親切でしたが、ホテルの施設が古いのが少し気になりました。でも、お部屋の清掃は行き届いていますし、お掃除の方が、今日はタオルだけとか、明日は遅めの時間に清掃してとか、臨機応変に対応してくれました。 なにより、いつでもコーヒーが飲めるのは嬉しかったし、RJスタジアムからは歩いて帰れる(基本、フロリダで歩くことはありませんが、70000人の観客がいるので、歩く人も相当数います!同じホテルの人もみんな歩いています)ので、とても使い勝手が良かったです。

    Well I went to check in for my second reservation and the nice lady checking me in was having trouble saying she could not find my reservation, I then showed her I had made the reservation 3 months ago and she kept saying it was weird and could not find it, very nice accommodating lady but I had to wait like 20 minutes just her trying to see what was going on until she realized the reason was the guy “DJ” had never checked me out. Thankfully I was checking in later that day, if not I probably would’ve gotten charged a fee. 100% do not recommend.

    The two ladies that checked me in were nice, but the guy in the morning that “checked me out” was so disrespectful. I believe his name is “DJ”, when I told him I was checking out, he didn’t even look at me and shooed me away with his hand without even saying a WORD. I stayed there looking at him because I didn’t believe he was actually doing that to me, I also didn’t want to just leave and not properly check out, and so he saw I stayed and he then looked at me for the first time and said “You can go” in a very nasty tone as if I was interrupting him or something and so I said “well do I give you the key cards” and he said “leave them there.” again in a very nasty tone. I looked past it and left, but I was checking in again later that day since I had made 2 separate reservations. Well I went to check in for my second reservation and the nice lady checking me in was having trouble saying she could not find my reservation, I then showed her I had made the reservation 3 months ago and she kept saying it was weird and could not find it, very nice accommodating lady but I had to wait like 20 minutes just her trying to see what was going on until she realized the reason was the guy “DJ” had never checked me out.

    The hotel served its purpose since I wanted something walking distance to RJ Stadium; but if you're wanting luxury, this is not the place. The staff was great and very accommodating. My room was upstairs and I needed to carry my luggage up 1 flight of stairs--so be prepared. The rooms did not have any of the extras (blow dryer, iron, ironing board, coffee maker, shampoo/conditioner) but did have a decent size mini fridge and you could get some of the extras from the front desk. My AC worked but my friend's did not. There are no restaurants in walking distance, so weigh out your preferences. For me, the EL worked great cause I had a car and didn't want to fight the parking lot after BTS concerts and the staff helped balance the rest out. There were also cute ducks all around the property so watch your step.

Water kept running in the toilet all night too. Loud music playing at all hours in the parking lot. When I went to turn in the keys the guy was laying on a couch watching tv with his feet kicked up and made me walk the keys to him. Didn’t even bother to get up. Night shift guy was nice though.

    At first, it started ok staff friendly enough when I walked in. It definitely seemed dated, but not terrible, but that was the extent of anything positive. There were a lot of unhoused people just sitting on curbs outside of the building. We decided just to take a peek in our room and immediately when we open the door, we were hit with the overpowering smell of Fabulosao. The carpet was damp, and there were stains all over the carpet. We stayed in our room all of 45 seconds and got back in our car drove to the nearest coffee shop to collect our thoughts and find alternative accommodations. When we tried calling the front desk. We were hung up on twice. The pictures did not match the rooms that we saw. Save yourself a headache and book a better property.

    The staff was nice and the hotel was very convenient as I was attending the NHL stadium game at Raymond James. That being said, the room was not very nice. Poorly patched holes in the walls that weren’t painted over to match the existing color. The bathroom definitely needs a bit of TLC. All that being said, the price was great and it made my trip to and from the stadium a breeze.

    We decided not stay at this property after checking into the room. The room was not very pleasant and there was a strong odor that was unbearable to stay in room.

The advertised pictures looked much nicer than the room we were given.

    This place is a hazard and the people are thieves. First they made us leave a cash deposit, which I've never seen before. The door to our room, looked like it had been kicked in previously. From inside the room with the door closed you could see out into the parking lot through the bottom half of the door. The electrical plugs on the nightstands didn't work and the toilet backed up and didn't work. The room looked and felt dirty. The towels had stains on them. The keys stopped working and we had to get new ones. We were only there one night for a concert and there were no rooms available in the area. So we had no choice but to stay there. Oh and the door handle was so loose at one point it even came of in my hand. To make matters worse when we went to check out they told us we couldn't check out until they sent someone to check the room. Then 2 minutes later they came back with that the room smelled like w*ed. We tried to explain that we didn't smoke and the lady at the desk said okay we'll just call the police then and my husband asked is this about keeping the deposit and the lady said "yup". I've never been to a hotel where they asked for cash deposit and then didn't let you leave before the inspected it. It gave us that was the plan all along vibes. The place was literally falling apart and then made up a smell to keep the deposit. This place was a nightmare.

    This property is old and it shows. Also very dirty. Don’t be deceived by the pictures! We found hair in the tub, a brown stain on the wall, German roaches and some crazy wet spot on the carpet. I think there may have been some other issue because the wet spot grew the longer we were there. If you’re desperate, this place will work. But if you have options, choose anywhere else.

    The room had a terrible smell. It was OK just for a one-night stay.
