We had a late check in so the girl at the front desk said we could have a late check out at 12:30 for no extra charge . She said after 12:30 there would be an hourly charge . When 11am came the house cleaning service started knocking on our door I told her we have a 12:30 check out. She said ok. But then about 20 minutes later another person knocked on the door. We did not answer because we were getting dressed and in the shower. Another 16 minutes go by and a different. Cleaning lady knocked on the door. I told her we already told the other lady we have a 12:30 check out. She didn’t believe me and told me to call the front desk. I tried calling from the hotel phone but it did not work, so I had to use my cell phone. I spoke the the front desk and explained everything and she said ok you have a 12:30 checkout . At 12:05 a man came knocking on our door repeatedly and then then someone called me on my phone to say we had to leave. I told the front desk the situation on the way out and it is like she was clueless. I never had such a bad experience at any hotel. Also the breakfast is a joke the workers stare at you while you are eating to make sure you are not taking too much food or leaving with any food in your hands . Decent looking grounds but Terrible service .
The property is clean and staff are friendly. The room is clean, tidy and no smell. Unlike other hotels that we been has the molding smell to it. I definitely recommend this place to stay when you visit Tampa not to far from the airport.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Bathroom door was to close to toilet to be closed. Shower isn't contuitive to anyone with a handicap. Check in time was 3pm and rooms weren't ready.
When i first arrived my refrigerator was not working. The guy who came and fix the refrigerator was not relating to me that he fix the refrigerator, he just walkedout
Minutes later i went to find out what happen. He said it was fix. Just no communication. Front desk staff very kind.
Lights went off several times during my stay. My stay was not happy.
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable . The shower worked well. There was a little road noise but it didn’t stop us sleeping well. Breakfast had lots of choice. Hot options were sausages, cheese omelette, biscuits and gravy and pancakes. Cold options were yoghurt, cereals,muffins, apples, juice, as well as instant oatmeal, toast and tea or coffee.
The staff was very accommodating. The room was dark, the Kerrig was rusty inside, no hangers or luggage rack. The refrigerator door did not open completely making it difficult to put tall items on the shelves. The electricity went off two separate times on Sunday. The air-conditioner was loud. The noise from traffic lasted the entire night. I would not stay there again.
Very clean - I was iffy when I pulled in due to the motel 6 look, but was pleasantly surprised the room was very clean & open. The indoor carpet & tv counter was dated. It would be nice if vinyl throughout since a humid climate- but it was nice for a last minute option. I would stay there again. .
Property is very nice. We got in at8 a m in the morning. They were so nice to let us check in. Second time I've stayed at this property.In the last year and staff is wonderful. Breakfast isn't the best but, they make up for with great quality and service
This is an older motel type place. Staff was excellent! Room was very clean. Grounds are neat and tidy. Well maintained. Best place to stay for the price. Bed was very comfortable. Pool is a bit small but wasn’t crowded. Otherwise great stay. I would come again and stay kk gee for sure! Traveled with my teenage daughter and felt safe letting her walk around by herself.

The room was clean, quiet and safe. Don't stay for the free breakfast if that is important because it's processed and there's no waffle station. All of the room doors are exposed and is a Florida-style roadside motel. Although this hotel has been updated, my daughter's allergies were awful due to the age of the building. Staff wasn't rude or polite, just indifferent. I'm giving it 3 stars because it was quiet, clean and safe.
