Property was unclean. Room had feces smeared on floor and was of bathroom. Cockroaches everywhere. Fights in the parking lot throughout the night. Priced at $160/night. Insanely expensive for the astronomically poor condition of this place.

During the hurricane the water was dripping in at a constant rate through the smoke detector and dripping onto the air conditioner! Then the popcorn ceiling was falling off onto the air conditioner. This place is a pit. I felt like going to my car and sleeping in it.

This sh1t hole nightmare was a true Halloween experience. As we approached this house of horrors on Halloween eve, the zombies on meth or fentanyl became abundant. I was not able to cancel because it was past my check in time but I would rather lose my 401k than spending a single night in this hell hole crack house of horrors.

I should have read others’ comments but it was a last minute booking due to my change of schedule and unavailability among other places. The main concern / complaint is the cleanness of this place!!!! It’s almost unbelievable how dirty it feels and was. As soon as you walk in, the room just smells of mixture of stale, moldy and smoky air. The sheets are dirty with some body hair. Blankets are even dirtier :/ I’m feeling sick after sleeping in here. Then so imagine the bathroom. cockroaches in bathroom. Towels are falling apart. Bathtub is super slippery. Outside has all kinds of people and “activities” that leaves a sense of very unsafe and unsettling. Although staff are sort of fine, it is definitely one of my worst hotel / motel experiences.

I had booked this hotel for a week for a family member who had to evacuate their property due to Hurricane Milton. When they tried to get to this hotel, they were unable to do so and I requested a cancellation and a refund of $729.96. Even though an Expedia agent contacted the hotel manager by phone to help me, he flatly refused to make the refund. Regrettable!

Beds had been clearly slept in on arrival. Door jammed, smell was absolutely disgusting. Wet mildew type mixed with stale vomit. Towel bar hanging, same with shower, no phone in room. I gagged then couldn't get out for 2 minutes as the door was jamming. Random people walking by...3 am. Definitely Some drug dealings happening Left as fast as we came. The clerk at counter says no refunds, will be contesting that through my credit card. Never offered a cleaning person, a phone, a different room etc. We were there to take my Uncle off of life support and then left with my sister, elderly mother and no room in a dangerous area in the middle of the night with zero compensation>reserved for 3 nights< added a ridiculous additional layer of unnecessary stress. This is the slums folks. We are not from the area and don't let the near Busch Gardens fool you that this is a safe or family friendly area. It was equally scary and disgusting. Not acceptable for an animal shelter, let alone people.

The Tampa Inn experience was a horrible experience in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.The less than 2 rating is to be believed. The 4.8 rating on Expedia, however, was disappointing. The hotel room was smoky, smelly, and the bedding looked dirty and dingy. I could not stay in the room because the atmosphere was very noisy with groups of people clustered together drinking beer outside in the parking lot and some seemingly gambling. The hotel management, when confronted with this responded that this was not a 5-star hotel, and that they did the best that they could. In my case, I could not get a refund, but at least some kind of compensation for a dirty smelly place. The county’s health inspectors should close this place down. It was dirty from the stairs to the room. I knew that I could not stay there because of the conditions. The facility will make one sick. I was so very disappointed with Expedia’s rating. Expedia is considered to be trustworthy, but the Tampa Inn did not deserve Expedia’s rating. I don’t know how I will ever trust Expedia again. I will tell anyone who is looking for a pleasant hotel stay to avoid the Tampa Hotel like a plague. Both the management and facilities need a lot of work.

I was desperately looking for a place to stay during the hurricane Milton. This place had 1 room Available. Thought not the best but served the purpose of checking on loved ones in TAMPA. As we say you get what you pay. So the hotel might not be the best looking but the price was very reasonable. It was not crazy high like some of the hotels were charging $350-$450/night while this hotel charged simple humble amount. There is always room for improvement. They are working on renovating the building and rooms.
