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.

. The check in person was great and went the extra mile. The check out lady had a pair attitude. First thing in the morning I had to deal with a nasty employee of theirs. 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.

The room itself was fine and I checked in pretty quickly. The main issues were that the there were gnats/flies in the room from the moment I opened the door and that door handle of my room was broken so you could only open the door if you lifted the handle upwards.

Location, Location, Location!!! Good for the very basic needs. If you’re attending an event at Raymond James Stadium this is a great location. Nothing fancy, your basic needs are met. Close enough to walk to stadium.

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 I can handle old and outdated, but not dirty with giant roaches (not beetles, but roaches…I know the difference.)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.

On the up side, ten minutes from the airport. Easy to get to and convenient parking. Was clean, made what they had to make it work. The one staff member polite and helpful, the other… well guess they were always in the bathroom. Never had a chance to meet them

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.
- 2/5
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.

It was actually better than I expected compared to other experiences. The room was clean, when I checked in the staff was nice, once I walked in the young lady got up immediately to help me, but checking out dude look like he could care less. There was a lot of duck poop on the steps where I was but I mean there is a pond close by, but otherwise it was ok.

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.

Room was clean but not well maintained property. Bed was from probably the 1950’s. Air conditioner sounded like it was making ice all night and very loud. 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.

All that being said, the price was great and it made my trip to and from the stadium a breeze.

The room was clean and most of the staff spoke english but like most central and southern motels, there was no heat in the room. I bought a space heater at walmart and then it was cozy. Rooms also lack things like micro waves, hair dryers and extra pillows. But I would staythere again. Great price.

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.

all the doors to get into the rooms are broken, so it takes several tries to actually unlock it. on top of that the room was full of flies and the toilet was broken. i understand that this isn't supposed to be a luxury hotel or anything but i still paid 400 dollars and id at least appreciate if it was worth it.

The office staff and cleaning staff were friendly and helpful but this EconoLodge is literally the worst place I have ever stayed in my life.

While the room could use a good scrubbing, for the price and free parking, it was worth it. We parked for the AcDc concert, We only used the room to cool off and freshen up while waiting for traffic to die down. As we are local, we drove home. The staff at check-in was absolutely A+ wonderful
- 4/5
After reading the reviews wife was a little nervous. But.... Bed was clean and comfortable, no noise during the night and the air worked great. My only complaint was the shower, was very hard to find the hot water. We would stay again while at a concert.

A nice clean hotel with friendly staff in a convienent location at a reasonable cost.

I read the reviews on line and I was surprised how clean it was. It’s old they are updating. The guy that checked us in was so pleasant. The young lady that checked us out was so nice. I would stay there again. If you want the Ritz this isn’t your hotel. We slept very well. The ac was great. No complaints from me. Quiet close to the stadium.

The people next door are yelling The first room was unsafe-door couldn’t be locked Desperate scares people in parking lot
- 3/5
Disliked because the hotel is dated, my door would not lock when closed from the outside. I had two employees talking business while I stood there for 2 or 3 minutes and was ignored on check in. Check out was fine.

The rooms very not clean. There were bugs in the room. Don’t think I would ever stay there again.

Awful. Gross. Will be complaining the attendant said to the guy ahead of us in line that it’s not the best here. Bug in bed and droppings on side of cabinet. Run!

Staff was wonderful. However there was drug deals, the room smelled of smoke and the room was full of old broken furniture. The parking lot was full of trash. We ended up getting a refund because we felt unsafe and it was dirty. People also live in this hotel. Don’t recommend.

There was no outdoor lighting. Toilet did not flush.

Angel at front desk was very nice. Offered us a refund after we realized that we were not comfortable to stay there. Other folks were smoking maryjane around property and it was not what we felt safe around, and our friends traveling with us could smelled maryjane in their room.
- 2/5
We would not recommend staying here, especially if you are a family with children. There is a lot of interesting activities going on at the hotel during all hours. Our room smelled like Marijuana all the time. My hair smelled like it when I woke up. The show pressure was the slowest I've ever seen. I had to manually get the toilet to flush by taking off the tank lid everytime. The staff was nice but tye person checking me in was smoking weed. The guy fixing my door card was too busy kissing his co-worker girlfriend. This is only gets 2 stars because they were nice.
- 2/5
First off the man at the desk was rude. The room was in need of attention. There was a gap in the door frame, and patches of plaster on the walls, celing, and bathroom tiles, the sink was slow to drain, and the tv was snowy (my husband was able to fix that) the bed was not at all comfortable, didnt sleep well. Overall it was bad, and sidnt feel safe. definately not waoth what we paid for one night. We will never choose Econo lodge in the future!!
- 2/5
Only positive was good water pressure and hot water.

The man at the front desk was the picture of when lack luster meets uninterested. While on the way to thebroom, the place was dirty and then the lighting in the immediate accessway to the assigned room was very poor. We got to the room only to be greeted by roaches! We checked out immediately!
- 1/5
Worse than other reviews suggested, checked out 5 mins after checking in. Run down, strong smell of cleaning products, dirty beds and showers and broken down toilets. Extremely dark parking lot. Nothing about this place is acceptable. Needs to be gutted and completely renovated.
- 1/5
Never again people next door to us was smoking cigarettes and it was coming right through my room I went to the office they act like they couldn’t help me and plus it was a no smoking in the rooms the alarm went off and everything , it was roaches and it was more than 1 I killed at least 4 myself , the a/c unit was falling apart but we even tried to get comfortable. I had my lady and daughter and we were not satisfied
- 2/5
The staff was friendly but the overall experience was subpar. The rooms are in need of renovation. The furniture is worn. There is visible rust and peeling painting. The toilet in the room was not fully secured to the floor. The walls and door were dirty. The walkways were not lit at night .

Dirty. Awakened at 3am by someone trying to break into my room.

The reviews for this hotel at the end of Feb 2025 were almost all terrible. I would have never stayed there if I would've seen them before my reservation. But I didn't. To my big surprise, the place I found was exactly the opposite to what people describe in their reviews. The place was impeccable, fresh and clean everywhere. Very confortable and everything worked well. It was a real pleasure stay there. I would recommend it highly. Just one comment, please upgrade your WiFi. It is way too weak.
- 1/5
No one was at the front desk when we arrived. Then when he did show up was very rude. AC did not cool either. Would never recommend this place to stay for any reason

I had made the reservation a week ahead. When I got to the hotel the only room was in the very back of the place and I was not safe back there I am 78 years old and a widow. Also the smell of drugs was so bad. I was told when I checked in that was the only ground floor available. There was no microwave in the room. When I complained, another room became available. Very bad way to do business. Will not ever stay there nor will I recommend the place
- 1/5
The entire building looked old, moldy and door would close properly. Curtains couldn’t close properly. They only had a set of towels and rags for each unit on the property. Employees were very polite and cordial but that is all.

The rooms were definitely outdated. The parking lots are not little well. The lights that are in the parking lot are out or not working properly. The TV was very outdated and not a clear picture.

Not the best part of town. Even the nicer Country Inn & Suites next door had questionable activities taking place in and outside of the properties.

Also homeless people living in cars in the rear parking lot.

Adequate lighting would be nice. The parking lot was pitch black at night with people hanging around walking around the hotel that were not guest.

Well past its prime. Not well lit. A/C didn't work.
- 2/5
Bed was soft and old, hubby and I kept rolling into the middle of the bed all night it was so saggy. Room smelled musty, sat outside most of the time with a drink. Show drain rusty and tiles caving in would not take a shower not mat on the tub. Bird poop everywhere does not look to have been cleaned in a long time. Homeless man slept outside near the wall at the electric box.
- 2/5
If you're simply looking for a place to sleep for one night, its fine for the price. Just remember you get what you pay for. I didn't check into the Hilton, so i didn't expect a Hilton experience.

Found 4 live roaches crawling on the walls of the bedroom and in the bathroom. Asked to be moved to a different room - which was better - but the damage was done.
