This is an older motel type place. Staff was excellent! Room was very clean. Grounds are neat and tidy. Well maintained. Best place to stay for the price. Bed was very comfortable. Pool is a bit small but wasn’t crowded. Otherwise great stay. I would come again and stay kk gee for sure! Traveled with my teenage daughter and felt safe letting her walk around by herself.

The room was clean, quiet and safe. Don't stay for the free breakfast if that is important because it's processed and there's no waffle station. All of the room doors are exposed and is a Florida-style roadside motel. Although this hotel has been updated, my daughter's allergies were awful due to the age of the building. Staff wasn't rude or polite, just indifferent. I'm giving it 3 stars because it was quiet, clean and safe.

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
