“I would stay again in a heartbeat”
The room was clean the staff was helpful and friendly, and the pool was well maintained I would def stay again.
“neat & clean”
My boyfriend and I spent 2 nights here while we were apartment hunting before we moved to Tampa. The hotel was easy to find, right off the highway and our room was neat, clean and well kept. It's a good value for the price and very quiet for being near major roads. Definitely recommend it if ur on a budget.
“good”
good
“Can't wait to go back”
i wlii go back
“Better Than The Westin or Club Quarters”
I stayed at the hotel for ten days total and it will without a doubt serve as a memorable experience. The first night I was awakened at around 4 a.m. to the sounds of the people staying in the room next door having what I can only describe as the loudest encounter I've been aware of and not been involved in. The staff was nice, especially when I would return back to the hotel at late hours after visiting a friend in the area and informed me that due to the limited on lot parking I would have to park my car in a nearby alley with limited lighting and out of view from the hotel. The room featured a large sliding glass door which led to a balcony that would not open and provided a scenic view of 7-11 and ladies of the night that roamed the surrounding Fowler Ave/Nebraksa Ave area. While I passed on the ladies, the 7-11 had great microwavable burritos and ciggies on the cheap. The homeless people that panhandled during the day were also a welcome sight and very friendly, not pushy. One even had a funny sign, ya know the one about the ninjas and needing karate lessons, totally hooked him and the guy who tipped me to the police when I forgot to put seat belt as I was pulling out of the lot to head across town. What can I say, aside from my next stay in Tampa will be at this hotel. If you're looking for luxury you came to the wrong place. But if you want a real experience with real people and more than the chance to brag about staying at a 5-star book this place!!!

“It was nice”
It was nice. what I expected for the price. Clean room freindly staff. did not get breakfeast because of time., but over all nice
“Good Customer Service”
The hotel was great, the customer service was superb. Had a queen bed but the bed was unconfortable. It's time to change the matress'. Other than that, the hotel is excellent. I will stay at again.
“Basic but nice”
My wife and I needed a basic hotel for one night - just a place to sleep at a reasonable price. This fit the bill nicely. It is located on a busy road, but we were not bothered by traffic noise. The beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water for the shower. The continental breakfast included donuts and pastries, coffee, juice, cereal, bagels and cream cheese. Staff was polite and helpful
