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 by. It's definitely a great value as well as a nice place to stay.

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 inorder to avoid traffic delays. It was a great stay. I was so impressed that I left a tip for the individual that cleaned the room. Great job! I look forward to staying in another Howard Johnson Express soon.

I stayed at this hotel about 15 years ago and what a HUGE improvement from then! The hotel is updated and clean. The staff friendly and the beds very comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality compared to the price.

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 help. Without question, we would stay there again!
