Expedia ruined our booking from another hotel so we had to transfer to Best Western Tampa at 1 am in the morning. Sheila from the front desk was absolutely phenomenal, she did everything to accommodate us, went out of her way to gave us food coz she learned that we haven’t had our supper yet and we travelled all the way from Canada and was tired already. She was compassionate, very helpful and kind! Thank you so much Sheila for all the help!!!!

Seems a bit run down a bit for a Best Western. Usually awesome. Heater in room didn’t actually heat. No where to park car without blocking a lane when checking in. Bathroom clean but really tight. Feels a bit more morel 6 than other Best Westerns.

I’m extremely disappointed with my stay at Best Western Tampa. The hotel is under serious construction, which was never mentioned anywhere in the listing or in the emails before my stay. The property is dirty, torn apart, and unsafe — hallways are full of dust and debris, carpets are stained, walls and shower curtains are grimy, and the air conditioning units look like they haven’t been cleaned in years. I had to switch rooms twice due to mold and poor air quality, which is concerning for anyone, but especially as I’m pregnant. My coworker and I both developed coughs after a couple of nights here. The breakfast area is right beside an active construction zone and didn’t feel food-safe. The gym and pool are closed. The photos online must be outdated or edited, because the real condition of this hotel is shocking. Guests should have been warned so we could cancel in advance. In its current state, this hotel should not be open to the public. The property only refunded one of our rooms, and refused to refund the second room.
