This is a great place to stay. I was in town for business and had to do some travelling and this was a great place to leave from. Though we did stop at the Ho Jo that was before it in the seeder area of town and was glad that we were in the wrong place. We had a great... More

This Howard Johnson Inn is located on a very busy street in South Tampa, but it is a bright, quiet spot. There is a lovely pool, a free breakfast, a small workout room, the room we stayed in was clean and comfortable, and the folks at reception were friendly. There are numerous restaurants nearby, and MacDill AFB is very close... More

I was pleasantly surprised with the way the room looked and smelled when we arrived. It was clean and very well kept. I couldn't have asked for a better room for the price. And the onsite breakfast was a huge plus since I had business to attend in downtown Tampa. The staff was helpful with times to leave the hotel... More

For the good price, this hotel was clean and very well kept in the rooms and around the building. The breakfast was above average with make it yourself waffles - batter and waffle maker to use. The pool looked good, but we did not use it. The desk is staffed 24/7. All of the people were friendly and wanting to... More

Perfect for travelers on a shoe string budget. The staff is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. We didn't take advantage of the free breakfast, but we were told about it. It ends at 9am so get there early! No elevator - but only two floors. If you are looking for an inexpensive hotel that is centrally located I would recommend... More

I stayed at this hotel since I arrived into Tampa late at night around 9-10pm coming in from Lafayette, LA The guy at the front was very friendly and humorous as he mentioned that I looked like Clark Kent because of the picture on my drivers license. Upon entering the room all was well kept and clean. The bed was... More
