This property is disgusting and should not be advertised for lodging. I did not even stay 30 mins. The room had a terrible smell and the bathroom was dirty. The tub was full of rust. I highly recommend not using this hotel.

My booking at the Red Roof Inn Tampa–Brandon was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had.

The room was filthy, with roaches crawling throughout the room. The bathroom was disgusting, smelled strongly of urine, and had clearly not been cleaned properly. The deadbolt lock had been broken off, making me feel unsafe. Several lights in the room didn’t work, the hallway lights were also out, and the elevator was not working. Some of the doors on the property looked like they had been kicked in, adding to the feeling that the hotel was not secure.

Outside, people were smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol right outside the hotel, making the environment feel unsafe and uncomfortable. I have asthma, and the smoke was a serious concern for me.

I immediately asked the front desk for a refund so I could leave and book another hotel where I would feel safe. Although my reservation was non-refundable, I explained that the room was not in a clean, safe, or habitable condition. The front desk employee refused my request and simply told me to call back when a manager was available. I called multiple times afterward, but no one answered. Expedia, where I made the reservation, also tried contacting the hotel and received no response.

These were the best rooms shown to us by the way as the front desk employee said.

Because I did not feel safe staying there, I had no choice but to leave and pay for another hotel, which ended up costing me twice

We weren't comfortable staying there and found another hotel. Conditions are more for pay by the hour rooms if you know what I mean. I can only imagine what you'd see with a black light. Don't recommend staying here. Photos don't look anything like what it looks like in person.

This Hotel was the worse hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Outside smelled like a dead animal, inside the room was filthy, like it had never been properly clean, items falling off the wall, not level or rusted, you could only take a shower, there were stains, cigarette burns etc on the sheets, bath mat, towels and dirt, trash and small toys under the bed. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was completely covered in dust. There was a roach in the room, and it had a dirty smell. The counter sink was cracked, and glued or something. I would have complained but based on observations, it wouldn’t have made a difference. This hotel is a flop hotel. You couldn’t pay me enough to stay there again. I would have looked for another hotel but it being Easter weekend, plus the plans we already had, along with us needing to be in that area and a pet friendly hotel, it wasn’t an option. Please email me if you’d like to see some pictures, I have plenty! This was the biggest let down of a hotel and I don’t see how it passed any inspections!

The room, smelled of mildew and the lamp fixtures were rusted. Bathroom had pubic hairs in the shower, glitter on the floor, and oh a baby roach was there to greet me.

If that wasn't enough, how about my room was never cleaned daily. No fresh towels, no bed made, and there was no additional lock on the door for safety.

There were no bulbs in the loghts over the beds and the table lamp also didn't work, so we only had the one bedside table lamp and bathroom light. The bathroom was tiny (you had to stand in the tub to close the door), and the flooring was broken pieces with giant gaps to the linoleum below. There were bugs in the floor. The ceiling had stains. And the door to the room was broken. I had to slam my shoulder into the door to force it opened, but there was no trouble opening the door from inside. It was quiet and no one bothered us.

The bathroom was disgusting I try to give my son a shower and I had to to do it with his sandals on because of the nastiness of this bathroom, I left the place right after I gave my son a shower because I was not going to sleep and spend a night in this place.

I reported it to the front desk and they told me to tell the housekeepers in the hallway. When I went to tell them, there was a language barrier and try to redirect me back to the front desk. I had to tell them that the front desk told me to tell them. Long story short, the housekeeper ended up giving me the cleaning stuff to clean my own tub. NEVER AGAIN will I book at this location!!!

The hotel was extremely dirty, and basic necessities were lacking. He was given only one shower towel and one roll of toilet paper for his entire stay. This place is disgusting.
