We booked this hotel because of it's low price and free wifi. Knowing that we wouldn't need anything too fancy since we would only be staying in Tampa for one night, we decided to go for this hotel - not reading any reviews at the time.
Well we just came back from there and thank goodness our stay was only for 8 hours because this hotel was one of the worst I've ever stayed at!
With an exception to the night staff, whom was very sweet, the hotel is just a demolition waiting to happen. The outside of the hotel is extremely dated, dirty and isn't a very pleasant sight at all.
Once we entered the room we were hit with an awful smell combination of smoke (it was a non-smoking room) and mildew.
Upon going to the bathroom, I was greeted by Fred, our pet roach for the evening, and noticed a dirty wet rag lying on the floor behind the door.
After that I tried to use the internet and the "free wifi" didn't even work.
Not wanting to discover any other hidden treasures in the room, we decided to hit the sack. Thankfully we had a fair night sleep with no bed bug trails in sight on the mattress.
But in the morning, free breakfast was a joke. The eating area was disgusting and the options included nothing at all appetizing. Skipped that meal because if they're are roaches in the rooms I don't even want to know what's in the kitchen.
I was seriously appalled that a hotel like this could remain in business. I could never see anyone staying at this hotel for a long period of time and enjoying themselves. I will never stay at this hotel again and do not recommend it. I've stayed in hotels for the same price, with the same options and have paid less for surprisingly better quality.
