“OMG!! STAY AWAY...PLEASE!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This is the worse hotel i have ever stayed at. I would never in life stay at a Comfort Inn again. This was my first time and i'll make sure it's my/our last. Calvin Greene, the manager is the most ghetto manager I have ever met. we booked for 3 nights and ended up staying only 1 night. People fighting in the lobby, rolling and smoking weed just outside the lobby doors with manager present and we had bed bug bites after one night sleep. Calvin Greene, raised his voice at me and my guest and was determined not to listen to us about our concerns. He also charged my card 4 times and could not explain why the charges were not adding up. I have left several messages with management and no one has called us back as yet. I finally got in contact with someone from guest services and at first they told me that I could file a formal complaint against Calvin Greene however by the end of the call Guest Services couldn't help me and the formal complaint was not made. The lady on the other end of the phone said that only the hotel could help me find out why my card was being charged 4 different payments.

If you are use to anything better than GHETTO, don't go to this hotel. Stay far, far away...I BEG you!

“Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2010

person found this review helpful

I don't even know where to begin! We had the worse trip EVER!!! I thought we were being PUNKED!! There were fruit flies in the bathroom, mucus on the rags, rats in the breakfast area, bed bugs, no toliet paper, water pressure in the bathroom is awful, plants are dead, cousin had to get ice out of the kitchen, harassed by random drunk people, harassed trying to get on the shuttle, televisions were ragedy, customers sped off to escape from paying the locksmith, and I could go on and on. One good thing, even though the web site is deceiving, the lobby was cute and the jacuzzi was comfortable! When you see Busch Blvd., keep driving!!!!!

“Worse Motel in Tampa”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2010

The hotel staff was rude. The keys had to be reprogramed each day. The rooms has a bed and a TV.. Nothing much else. The door had a large crack under the door so privacy was a huge issue. The hot tub doesn't work and the pool needed cleaning.The neighborhood was scary.

“Don't let the bed bugs bite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2010

My wife and I had muliple bed bug bites from their bed. We had to go to the doctor and get 3 different medications to get over it. Mold floating in coffee pot. Hand towles and wash cloths not replaced after room was made. Safe did not work (but they tried to charge us for one). Hot tub was so hot that it gave us 1st degree burns on our feet (that is a far as we could get in). This place has a lot of potential, but it's maintenance and cleaning needs to be kept up.
