"The hotel room needed updating, and the carpet needed to be replaced.2020-07-31"
"Not a 5-star hotel, but it was a pretty good value. Close to restaurants, shops, and theme parks. Because of the Covid-19 outbreak, staffing was minimal and there was no sit-down breakfast. The bench by the TV had obvious stains on it, as did the chair in the room. The bed was OK. The front desk clerks were nice, welcoming, and accommodating. A bagged breakfast was provided.2020-03-26"

"I had a terrible stay at this hotel. There was no blanket or comforter on the bed, and the blanket in the closet was too small. The staff did provide a 2nd blanket the next day. The heater didn't adequately warm the room, and the WiFi kept disconnecting. No in-room coffee. The hallway doors were propped open, letting in cigarette smoke, and there were ducks wandering around the grounds leaving waste. Don't stay here.2020-02-14"

"The motel was dated, and the amenities were sketchy at best. I had to ask for shampoo at the front desk. No coffee in the room, and the coffee in the lobby was old. No sugar substitute available.

"The motel wasn't well-kept. The room smelled like smoke, the bathtub stopper was missing, and the Internet connection didn't work. The front desk clerk switched me to a better room, but it also didn't have Internet access. The clerks tried to help, but weren't able to get it working. I won't be staying here again.2015-12-30"
"The motel lobby smelled bad, and the front desk clerk was holding a crying child at 11:30 PM. The room smelled bad, and the light fixture was missing a lightbulb. The bedside lamp didn't have an on-off switch. No working phone. The floor and bedspread were stained, and the mattress was uncomfortable. We didn't stay.2022-03-29"
"No breakfast provided.2020-03-05"
"There were several dead roaches in our room. The walls looked like they had dirty footprints on them. The bed boxsprings were dirty. When we arrived, the TV was on and the sliding door was open in our ground floor room. The exterior doors near our room stayed unlocked at all times. We were a little nervous about security. Don't stay at this motel.2015-11-18"
"Convenient to Ybor City and Hailey VA. As requested, I was given a room on the 1st floor near the lobby. Didn't have a flat-screen TV. No closet or hangers. No coffee pot, iron, or luggage cart. And most importantly, it didn't have a separate dead-bolt or other lock on the door. The pool landscaping was under renovation, so I wasn't able to swim. But the motel was quiet, and I enjoyed my stay.2015-04-26"
Tampa is on Tampa Bay along the west central coast of Florida. It is 25 miles northeast of downtown St Petersburg and 25 miles east of downtown Clearwater. The Tampa Airport is located 10 miles northwest of the downtown area.
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
