The most disgusting place I've ever<BR/>set foot in. I think The entire building should be leveled. It is not fit for homeless people to stay at. Mold, dirt, grime and all around nastiness in each room. The smell, don't even get me started. The owner should be absolutely ashamed of this facility.

Positives: Few staff members were good, else everything was bad.

Negatives: Every single aspect.

This motel is in a very dangerous neighborhood. I was attacked in the back parking lot in 2006, beaten, strangled and almost carjacked by a black male. (I fought back) I ended up in the hospital with 10 stitches in my upper and lower lip. My face was unrecognizable. The Tampa police would not even investigated this crime. The man that did this has never been found. Don't stay there!

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Dangerous

I'm very disappointed as a customer/consumer. We all work very hard for our money to pay for something that was unsatisfactory, & to have left a day early, & get another room elsewhere more money spent.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

It was in an extremely dangerous area of Tampa. I didn't know this because I had never been to Tampa. The bed was awful, the carpet wasn't clean in the corners and around the edges. Within 5 minutes of arrival I had killed several roaches already and when I opened a drawer another one flew out.

Positives: The friendly personnel and the breakfast.

Negatives: The room was infested with roaches and was dirty.

I was appalled at the way this place looked, While checking in the lady at the front desk was extremely rude, upon entering the room the lights were burned out, the smoke alarm batteries beeped until it finally went dead! The water would not shut off in the bathroom, the toilet had sewage backed up which made the smell unpleasant. I called the front desk to ask for a light bulb and batteries and she told me she would bring them to the room. She never did, so I went up front to ask for them. She THREW a box of AA's which didn't fit and also gave me a toilet plunger for the toilet- I thought she was joking. Hence I and my friend left and found somewhere else that was suitable for human life! I felt sorry for the bugs crawling in there, thats how bad it was.

Positives: Absolutely nothing.

Negatives: Bugs, toilet probes, running water, filth, NO smoke alarm.

The hotel is located in a really bad neighborhood, too ethnic. The rooms are smelly, dirty and the air conditioning completely covered with mold. I developed an allergy as soon as it was morning. I would recommend this hotel to horror movies lovers, because this is a place of terror indeed.

Positives: Love horror movies, this was one.

Negatives: Location, rooms, smell, guests, dirty, smelly, lure, illumination, public places, appearance, treatment.

This hotel is located in a very poor neighborhood filled with crime. We did not know that when we booked. Consequently, our vehicle was stolen out of the parking lot. Furthermore, there was blood on the bathroom floors and there were many vagrant looking black males roaming the area. They ended up recovering the vehicle, but it is not drivable and now we are in a rental and have $500 deduct able to fix it. Horrible experience.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Blood on the bathroom floors when we arrived.

I would not recommend this place to anyone that I know.

Positives: The staff was friendly.

Negatives: The place is basically a dump.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 21 Mar 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

Mediocre at best. Staff reasonably friendly. A cold shower on 2 of 3 days and shabby room environment were most unappealing.

Positives: Convenient that is all.

Negatives: Carpet needed vacuuming. Worn and in need of replacement.

Nice room layout, friendly helpful staff, convenient pool and hot tub when they were working, close to beach, nice location in town, great continental breakfast, internet access was quite limited.

Positives: Room was kept clean.

Negatives: Pool was shut down two days.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 07 Mar 2008 rated 3 out of 10.

Ok for what we needed which was just a place to sleep. Good thing we bring our own bedding.

Positives: It was close to where we needed to go.

Negatives: The sheets.

This motel is quite close to Busch gardens but quite shabby. The beds were terribly spongey and uncomfortable. Beware of the addage, "you get what you pay for". Boy did we make a mistake with this choice!

Positives: Night desk clerk was pleasant.

Negatives: Old and very shabby.
