The staff were very friendly, the room was clean, it was well worth the price, close to everything...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Did not stay, looked at room, dirty and disgusting, saw people just standing around the grounds looking shady, did not feel safe at all. Had planned event which would bring my husband and I back to the hotel late at night and did not feel safe one bit. Gave room key back, was not offered a refund, and left.

I would stay here again. The neighborhood is not great and there are not many places to eat except fast food, however... For the price of the room, the cleanliness etc this was decent for the price. We have stayed in many hotels that were of the same caliber and were much worst overall. There were amenities like shampoo, soap (some lower rate hotels […] have nothing) also the towels were thick, the room was clean, the staff was polite. You could and we have stayed in worst hotels for the same or more money. Only 4 min or so from casino. Read more

i really enjoyed my stay

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had some reservations about staying here after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Never saw hookers, drug deals or roaches. Front desk staff was very pleasant, room was clean and comfortable (not high end but comfy enough) Our only disapointment was in the lounge - very smoky and very loud music.Would have like to kick back with a […] few cocktails but couldn't handle that.

All staff very courteous(especially the housekeeping staff). The location can be kind of confusing because there is another Howard Johnson along I-4. This one was off 50th. Stayed in a non-smoking room which was clean. The building is older, but my room looked modern, and kept up well.

Pay cheap rate, got cheap room. Horrible neighborhood, noisy, bar on site open late and not a place suitable for families.

The hotel room was great! Bed was amazing,everything was clean. The only bad thing I have to say is that the cleaning lady walked up in the room 10 minutes to check out without knocking. Other than that I had a great stay!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was not great, the neighborhood was unsafe. People were selling drugs within the area. Stay away.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was in the top 2 of my worst hotel stays ever. Filthy bathroom, very seedy neighborhood. If I hadn't arrived at 11:00pm I would have told the cab to keep going and would have found somewhere else to stay. Could tell a whole story of this disastrous stay, but will leave it as a "just say no" when considering this property.

Overall the hotel was nice in good repair no issues room was clean everything worked properly staff was nice ... However the faults first the location is a little sketchy to say the least and the lounge attached to the hotel seems to look like a former strip club they even left the mirrors up :-/ on the walls for you !! Ok for a place to crash for the […] night only .. Hope this review helps someone Read more

Hotel wasn't bad for the price paid, the lighting could have been a little better in the room but if you are just looking for a place to crash, it works!

it was ok, but it isn't anywhere near the hard rock cafe

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice hotel, only problem was no towels in the room. After a few calls and still waiting my boyfriend had to go to the front desk and get some . Also need more front desk help, took two seconds to check out but that was after waiting for ten minutes. Clean rooms, nice pool. Overall, pretty satisfied.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Bad area. Highway is right next the hotel so it sounds like your sleeping under a bridge. Rooms are 49 $ a nigjt

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed there one night and it was ok. The room was clean and the grounds seem to be in good shape. There are several fast food places near by. You have to go a few miles for fine dinning. I was not fond of the area. but all in all it worked out ok.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was clean and well kept but the staff messed up making the bed with a blanket put down next to you then the sheet on top. The clock radio was not functioning. The desk people were nice. My room was on the pool side and lots of load people seemed to hanging outside my room even in this cold season when the pool was not in use. Might need more […] sound proofing on these rooms.

It's isn't the Ritz-Carlton, but if you're looking for an comfortable room at a bargain this is a good place to start. My only complaint was that the bed was a little harder than I care for, but not so bad I couldn't be comfortable. Other than that a fine job!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good hotel..

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was better then I expected based on the reviews. Room cleaner.. is older type motel but maintained. Cable TV had issues with channels CNN and HBO getting fuzzy then clearing and than fuzzy again. Outside of Chinese place next door only a few fast food joints nearby had to drive for decent meal.

Our room was clean and somewhat nice, although the bathtub was in pretty rough shape and didn't train well. If it wasn't for the horrible area, we would have enjoyed this place. First, getting into this location can be a real pain at night if coming from all but one direction. The main problem though is the neighborhood. All night we had guests yelling […] and running up and down the outside walkway on the second story. Early in the morning, there were people running laps up on the second story. Maybe a one time experience, but judging by the sheer frequency of the loudness outside, I doubt it. Great room, but they need some security to get this under control so that people can actually sleep. Read more

definantly clean rooms, good value, good breakfast and good service. would stay there again. A long drive to the beach though..

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed only for 1night. Room had an special odor no grate. You can hear all noises outside, must be the window/door wall not well builded proof noises. Toilet got clugged at 1st use. Bed was very comfortable, pillows too. Tv has only few channels and not the most viewable channels. But hey at least there is a tv. A microwave and fridge was available. […] Price it is a little pricy for the inconvinience. The Manager is a very friendly person, everyone else, was weird. Don't expect a nice breakfast and place to eat. And for last, a men walked inside our room, apparently, front desk service gave him the wrong number key. No apologize from that front desk... But Manager next day was very understandable and helpful. and returned my money. If I have to stay again, I will do it. Read more

I made the reservation based on what the other commentators recommendations were. We stayed only one night with a very reasonable cost for the area but there were several items that are to be noted. The first is that it is very close to down town and the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. They are both about 5-9 miles away respectively. Very easy to get to […] as the Hotel is 100 yards off of I-4. The second ones are that the drawbacks are the front fascia of your room is very thin to noise, The large glass window and door do not seal noise out very well and people/cars can easily be heard. Also although the room was somewhat up to date (not the TV), the sink and bathroom were straight out of the 70-80's. Sure the paint was new as was the shower stall but the tile and 'bones' of the place just screamed old. Overall, if it were just me, I would stay there again but not with a family or the wife. Hookers and XXX stores are very plentiful in the area. Read more

The hotel was clean and neat. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is an older building, and some maintenance needs to be done, but overall we had a great experience. A very nice courtyard and pool. The continental breakfast was limited, but fresh and always being replenished. There seemed to be a lot of noise in the courtyard late at […] night. Not sure if it was staff coming to work in the early morning (5 AM) and talking loudly or laughing, yelling. I found this to be very inconsiderate of the guests. The TV channels also were very limited, but we did not spend much time watching it, so it really didn't affect or stay. Read more

Cable was awful. You could hear other guest at all hours in the hallway yelling and fighting so sleep was impossible.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We arrived late at night and the neighborhood looked really shady. We didn't feel safe walking up to the front rest which we couldn't even approach because he front doors were locked. We had to check in through a security window like we were in a prison or something. Then the lady checking us in didn't speak English very well. They made us give them […] a credit card for incidental damage deposit. The reason I use hotels.com is so I don't have to worry about payment when I get there. Anyways the walk to our room was scary and there were random people walking and yelling outside our door all night. The bed covers had cigarette burns in them and the shower was rusted. To top it off, no free wifi. No wifi at all. Super ghetto. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

so the location to everything else was fabulous. It took no time to get to channelside, Ybor City or the Casino among other things, but the surroundings in the hotel could get a bit rowdy. there were roaches and although they made beds they did not change sheets. But decent enough to lay our heads down and the money you spent on the room you could not […] beat. Read more
