Bugs in the room, gunk and rust in the fridge, frayed and torn towels, overall just felt grimy and extremely dirty and gross. Didn’t even change clothes because my friend and I didn’t want to contaminate our bags after laying on the bed. Removed the duvet and didn’t even get under the sheet. Used t-shirts to put on the pillows because we didn’t trust our bare faces on the pillow cases. For $100/night you don’t expect much, but for the state of the room, they shouldn’t even charge over $35/night. Only upside to this place is its close proximity to Raymond James Stadium. Nothing else is really good about it.

It was ok for a 1 night stay by the airport. About what you would expect out of a cheap motel
Cheap and close to the stadium. But gross, bathroom stank with no air, sink barely trickled water, dirty, cockroaches, toilet hardly flushed. Pictures are NOT the place.
This was prob the worst place I’ve ever stayed, and I know is a Motel, very dirty, unkept, smelly and felt very insecure, there’s no chain or inside lock.
Hotels.com shouldn’t offer this place
The rooms were absolutely disgusting. The odor and condition of the rooms were extremely disappointing. I checked in and immediately checked out. I was not given a refund either. Horrible place should be condemned
Simply overpriced for the tired, old motel it was. Owner/manager demanded another $40 per hour for a late checkout. I was watching a youth team soccer match that morning so had to be out earlier than was convenient, though they only had about six people staying there. Generally unpleasant demeanor. Never again!
Do a favor to yourself and DO NOT STAY IN THIS PROPERTY!!
1- bathroom curtain has mold
2- toilet was not working
3- the bathroom drain was clogged
4- the nastiest thing was look all those cockroaches around the room

This place does not cooperate with claim report for damages done to a rental car that was hit by another guest and runs out. They refuse to give the camera video and when police arrives they do not show rhe video where the license plate could be seen. This hotel is not safe.
This was the most disgusting "motel" I've even seen or stayed in. They told me multiple times no smoking or there was a $200 cleaning fee. I totally get that, but the room smelled of stale smoke. The sheets were not clean. I could go on and on but i will leave you with this..... it was so disgusting I actually looked for bed bugs! Do not recommend!
They did not answer my calls after constantly calling voicemail box was full the room is way too small

The amount of times the people working there threatened us with a smoking fee was ridiculous. It started before we even arrived and continued multiple times at check-in. We are non-smokers anyway, so there was absolutely zero chance of us smoking in the room. Despite telling them this multiple times, they threatened to charge us if there was even a little smell of smoke. Besides this, there were a few bugs we found in the bathroom which was not that big of a deal. They had no shampoo and one small bar of soap so a shower was not very convenient. All in, I would not recommend this place to anyone.
