Pleasant surprise
Very clean - I was iffy when I pulled in due to the motel 6 look, but was pleasantly surprised the room was very clean & open. The indoor carpet & tv counter was dated. It would be nice if vinyl throughout since a humid climate- but it was nice for a last minute option. I would stay there again. .

Hidden Gem in South Tampa
I frequently visit the Tampa area and just tried out this hotel based on the reviews and price. Everything was just as advertised. Rooms are clean with very comfortable beds. Even though I did not use the pool it was a very nice setup. Several guests were talking advantage of the late day sun. Will definitely stay here in the future

Short drive to TPA
We were only here one night and had to leave super early for our flight. The room was very clean, beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed to provide a good rest before a long flight.

It doesn’t deserve to be 8+ rating that attracted me to choose this place.

One week stay.
Nice place for price. A little dated but bathroom updated. Had a small kitchenette which was nice for our 1 week stay. Cental and easy to airport. Only complaint was that our room did not get cleaned until 5 pm when we were trying to get ready for dinner. Nice well kept pool. Breakfast was pretty ok with enough variety and morning breakfast custodian was quick and efficient and friendly. All in all we were happy with our stay.

Bathroom had a sliding barn door that did not provide privacy. Breakfast ended at 9:00 am and several items were running out. Hotel staff were friendly and room was clean, but had more of a motel feel.
