“Good for Bucs Games”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

I stayed at this motel while in Tampa for a Bucs game. The hotel is basically a motel. It was clean and sufficient for six guys but I would probably not take my wife here. The hotel is a 15 minute walk to Raymond James Stadium which was great for us. There are a few restaurants and strip joints down the street. The area is ok but I would be cautious at night. Great value and price for a guys football weekend!

“I wouldn't stay here again on a bet!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012

Being a HoJo's I wasn't expecting a 5 star, but this property was an embarrassment to me my wife and it should be to the entire HoJo's chain. The property was older and in need of repair from just the first impression. Upon reaching our room we realized that a little repair is a major understatement. The room we were in included a leaky bathtub faucet, carpet so dirty it left my feet caked and needed to washed. To make matters worse, one of the outlets was literally coming out of the wall. To top things off, on the bed was a copy of the latest issue of the local strip club guide. Just awesome!!!! I know HoJo's of late is not what it was in the past, but in no way was I expecting it to be this bad. Do Not stay here!!!!

“ok for one night...wouldn't want to stay here for much more than that....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

This hotel has some maintenance and housekeeping issues which need to be resolved. Front Desk personnel could be more friendly and knowledgeable. There were no maintenance personnel available at the hotel on a saturday at 4:30pm.
