This place is very affordable but disgusting. I booked this hotel for my wife and myself for 3 nights since it's within a mile of Raymond James and we were attending back to back shows there on Saturday and Sunday night. I checked in on a Friday, walked into our room, and checked out 15 minutes later because neither one of us could breathe without coughing and sneezing.The AC was blowing a mixture of dust and mold all over the room, the carpet floor was nasty, the whole room smelled musty with a faint cigarette smell, and everything metal in the room was rusty. The bathroom wasn't any better and there were no amenities in the room. I asked the clerk if there were any newer rooms and he said they were all the same, so I asked to check out. We didnt sit on the beds or disrupt anything in the room. He was polite and said we would get 2 nights refunded but might get just a partial refund for checking into the room, but would check with the manager the next day about getting a whole refund for that Friday. Out of $423 we were refunded $264. We found a room at the Holiday Inn about 3 miles away and paid more for it, especially last minute. Expedia was no help in getting us another place or applying any discounts. But it was our decision to leave so I get it. If you’re the type who reads reviews and values cleanliness, you'll want to pass on this place. Otherwise enjoy your nasty smelling room and have have fun finding all the crawling things that come out after dark.

RJスタジアムで行われるコンサートの為、こちらのホテルを利用しました。
スタッフの方（フロント、お掃除）が感じ良く、とても親切でしたが、ホテルの施設が古いのが少し気になりました。でも、お部屋の清掃は行き届いていますし、お掃除の方が、今日はタオルだけとか、明日は遅めの時間に清掃してとか、臨機応変に対応してくれました。
なにより、いつでもコーヒーが飲めるのは嬉しかったし、RJスタジアムからは歩いて帰れる（基本、フロリダで歩くことはありませんが、70000人の観客がいるので、歩く人も相当数います！同じホテルの人もみんな歩いています）ので、とても使い勝手が良かったです。

The property was quite, I loved the pond with the ducks in it, but it could use a renovation in the future, the furniture was out dated, but over all I had a restful stay there.

Well I went to check in for my second reservation and the nice lady checking me in was having trouble saying she could not find my reservation, I then showed her I had made the reservation 3 months ago and she kept saying it was weird and could not find it, very nice accommodating lady but I had to wait like 20 minutes just her trying to see what was going on until she realized the reason was the guy “DJ” had never checked me out. Thankfully I was checking in later that day, if not I probably would’ve gotten charged a fee. 100% do not recommend.

This hotel is probably the nastiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I only chose it because it was the closest in walking distance to the stadium for BTS.
The two ladies that checked me in were nice, but the guy in the morning that “checked me out” was so disrespectful. I believe his name is “DJ”, when I told him I was checking out, he didn’t even look at me and shooed me away with his hand without even saying a WORD. I stayed there looking at him because I didn’t believe he was actually doing that to me, I also didn’t want to just leave and not properly check out, and so he saw I stayed and he then looked at me for the first time and said “You can go” in a very nasty tone as if I was interrupting him or something and so I said “well do I give you the key cards” and he said “leave them there.” again in a very nasty tone. I looked past it and left, but I was checking in again later that day since I had made 2 separate reservations.

It was actually better than I expected compared to other experiences. The room was clean, when I checked in the staff was nice, once I walked in the young lady got up immediately to help me, but checking out dude look like he could care less. There was a lot of duck poop on the steps where I was but I mean there is a pond close by, but otherwise it was ok.

The hotel served its purpose since I wanted something walking distance to RJ Stadium; but if you're wanting luxury, this is not the place. The staff was great and very accommodating. My room was upstairs and I needed to carry my luggage up 1 flight of stairs--so be prepared. The rooms did not have any of the extras (blow dryer, iron, ironing board, coffee maker, shampoo/conditioner) but did have a decent size mini fridge and you could get some of the extras from the front desk. My AC worked but my friend's did not. There are no restaurants in walking distance, so weigh out your preferences. For me, the EL worked great cause I had a car and didn't want to fight the parking lot after BTS concerts and the staff helped balance the rest out. There were also cute ducks all around the property so watch your step.

No ammenities, just a room. Room was filthy, there was a random old band aid covering the peep hole of the door, silk eating bugs in bathroom, blood-like stain on the carpet near sink, TV didn't work, room had a really strong overwhelming smell to a cheap cleaning spray, probably to cover something else.

Paid for a king size bed room and got a 2 smaller bed setting.

Pros: Free parking, great location, cheap, great water pressure and hot water.

Water kept running in the toilet all night too. Loud music playing at all hours in the parking lot. When I went to turn in the keys the guy was laying on a couch watching tv with his feet kicked up and made me walk the keys to him. Didn’t even bother to get up. Night shift guy was nice though.

At first, it started ok staff friendly enough when I walked in. It definitely seemed dated, but not terrible, but that was the extent of anything positive. There were a lot of unhoused people just sitting on curbs outside of the building. We decided just to take a peek in our room and immediately when we open the door, we were hit with the overpowering smell of Fabulosao. The carpet was damp, and there were stains all over the carpet. We stayed in our room all of 45 seconds and got back in our car drove to the nearest coffee shop to collect our thoughts and find alternative accommodations. When we tried calling the front desk. We were hung up on twice. The pictures did not match the rooms that we saw. Save yourself a headache and book a better property.
