A perfect choice for travellers on a budget passing through Tampa. The hotel is located directly to the I-75 and the Tamiami trail 41. It has a very friendly staff. The rooms are clean, the breakfast is o.k. It's a 15min. drive from Ybor City, the historic district of Tampa. Ybor City is all about restaurants, cigar shops, cinema and... More

I travel a lot to different places for work, I have stayed at holiday inn's and Marriott but this time when I had to go to Tampa I had to stay at this quality inn since it was closer to work.

Those who stay at Quality Inns on a regular basis know that the quality and service can vary dramatically from one property to the next. This hotel is one of the best Quality Inns that I've ever stayed in, and, as a Choice Privileges top-tier (Diamond) member, I stay in quite a few. The hotel itself is in excellent condition,... More

This is a very nice hotel. Very clean and comfortable. The pool area is nice. It was a little difficult to find and the area leaves a little bit to be desired but should not stop you from staying here.

By most metrics this would be a four- or five-star rated stay. Very reasonable price for what you get, which includes a reasonably clean room, Wi-Fi, and breakfast. Yet, for most of the time my experience fluctuated between three and four stars, and a bogus tax-like surcharge specific to this location leads me to want to rate it two stars.... More

Very nice hotel but as other reviewer metnioned not in the greatest part of town. The hotel was very clean and the staff nice. The rooms were really comfortable. Being a runner I did not feel safe waking out the door and going for a run. I would recommend as hotel just stay in at night.

I am sorry that you felt unsafe stepping out of our doors. I wish you would have asked us about the area prior to deciding not to run. We have several marathons in the City of Tampa, and during those events we serve as on of the principle housing facilities for local and out of town runners and there families.... More

Been here multiple times, been pleased with all. It's a nice hotel, arranged as a U-shape around a central pool. The Christmas lights at night make for a nice touch. Staff is courteous and do their best to meet special needs. It comes at a reasonable cost probably because 50th street is not a desirable part of town. I probably... More
