“Seedy ...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

Hotel parking lot was mostly roped off making it difficult to find convenient parking. Property was in a general state of disrepair. I was not comfortable at all with the neighborhood - although the hotel was adjacent to I-275. Since I presented a different credit card when I checked in than when I booked, they would not give me an itemized receipt showing the price I paid - in fact, the front desk clerk whited out the prices with Liquid Paper after printing it, rendering it useless. I was told that was because I was on a discounted rate (which was actually the AARP rate.) Upon checkout, I managed to get a receipt once I understood that I needed to show them the original credit card. (Weird.) I'm a member of Wyndham Rewards, yet my points were not credited for my stay until after I contacted Wyndham Rewards to get them to do it. Bottom line - with the hundreds of motels in this area, there's no reason to stay here.

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else.

“Not worth the price we paid!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011

This place is horrible. The breakfast was a joke - warm milk for cereal, a broken waffle iron, no juice.... and the room to eat it in was not air conditioned.
The environment was NOT SAFE! The people staying there were frightening and I ran into a homeless guy pushing a shopping cart when I went to walk the dog. The pool was ok, but the patio furniture is downright dangerous. This place is next to a garbage company, so there is the lovely smell of garbage wafting around constantly. In the room there were holes in the bathroom door and you could see the line of dust and dirt under the bed where the maid (?) was too lazy to bend over and vacuum!

“Overrated.....extremely overrated!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

The only thing positive I have to say about this place is the lady at the front desk on the night shift was great...other than that I would rather sleep in my car than stay here again. We paid for 2 nights, got into the room and their Idea of a smoking room was a non smoking room with the sign turned over on the desk when we got in and there were no ashtrays in our room. The dressers were all broken and I smashed my finger in them trying to put the drawers back in. The pool smelled like urine, the "jacuzzi" / hot tub was almost green and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, the staff was rude except the before mentioned lady on the night shift, the power kept flickering on and off, the TV remote only had buttons to change the channels and volume, but no numbers, and the Television had a green tint to it, the electric sockets weren't even in good enough shape to hold my phone charger in, the internet didn't work most of the time and to top things off there was only one ice machine in the whole building which was in the building next door and then downstairs. This place made me feel like I had found a place where I had to pay by the hour. I will never stay here again.

“Cheap overnight stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Really a very cheap motel. I also felt like there were some weird people walking around the property (which is quite spacious).
The rooms were OK, being pretty old but clean. One creepy thing though: When I went into my bed I noticed I hit something under the blanket with my leg. It was a bible. I don't get how the cleaning lady cleaned the rooms and changed the sheets without noticing it or putting it there?!

Also, the service was pretty bad. There were no towels in our room and we had to call and walk all the way to the front desk.

The free wifi worked sometimes, sometimes not.

“Very good compared to other 2 stars.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2011

person found this review helpful

I stay in 2 to 5 stars depending on need of particular trip. And my expectation for this 2 star one night stay was exactly as good as what I needed. Very good value for clean comfortable beds. Neighborhood don't look best but its not dangerous. Location is conveniently located just off 275 which makes it quick and easy to get anywhere in St. Pete. If you want a good comfortable short stay without breaking the bank, this is an excellent place. If you're looking to get resort type pampering, then look somewhere else.
