This was one of the worst places to stay on the planet. I was amazed that this very sketchy lodge has the Econo lodge marquee. It was a disaster area and the second night there was police all over the place. Did not help that there were homeless people directly outside the main entrance and the morning we checked out there was a semi conscious person laying on the luggage cart and someone sprawled out on the lobby couch with the clerk all asleep or unconscious at best. The rooms were filthy, towel Rack was broken with no bar and the mattresses should have been condemned. I took pictures of you need proof. Would Never consider staying again at an econo lodge.

It'll do

The staff was very nice, special props for the receptionist who helped me. Comfortable beds, and has an enjoyable balcony. Air conditioner works slow but is effective over time; I actually had to turn it off because it was cooling so well, but then again, this is in January in Tampa. I'm not sure how it would hold up in the summer. Also, if you have a cockroach phobia then this is not the place for you, because I saw more than a few little ones once I shut off the lights. Roaches are nothing to me, so I actually enjoyed it, but In all honesty they could really use an exterminator. But you get what you pay for; my only goal was to get a good night's sleep and go to Busch gardens, which is about only a quarter mile away. Location was perfect if these are your purposes. If your going for cleanliness I would recommend oasis hotel

The outside looks really run down, but it is part of Choice Hotel Group? Check in was fast and easy. The room was huge, and the bed was comfortable; however, the bedspread (?) was so thin, it didn't feel like you had anything over the sheet; the cover felt like it was just a wee bit thicker than a tablecloth. The microwave and fridge were clean and worked fine. I did not see coffee maker. As for the bathroom, it was clean. The toilet and shower/tub was separate from the sink, which worked for us. There were three small bars of soap, two were on top of the plastic it came in, not sure if they had been used or not, and only one was still inside the plastic unopened. There were dispensers by the sink/counter area and in the shower, but there wasn't anything in them. The shampoo provided in a little container was great though, it didn't dry my hair. I did not see a hair dryer. The bathroom counter needs replacing or deep cleaning, a lot of stains, and the empty dispensers didn't look like it was wiped clean. On the light switches, you can see the original white paint all around the switch plate, the toilet paper holder, was partially painted over by wall plate. The A/C was loud but it did work. We only needed a night's rest and the bed itself was comfortable, just wished the bedcover on top of the sheet was a little thicker, a regular blanket would have worked. The headboard had stickers on them, like the the type kids would put stick on the walls, tables, etc.

There is nothing to like about the property, just about everything is broken, from the entrance door to the amenities in the room, no working smoke alarm, the sliding door linings dirty, the floor not properly sweep, metal perturbed from the bed, that place needs to be close and some proper renovation done.

Very dirty and unsafe room, sliding glass door lock was broken, wires running through the floor, moldy bathtub, strong bleach smell in the rooms made almost impossible to breathe. I can’t understand how a hotel is operating in those conditions. Expedia should verify the product before offer it to the customers.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS. This hotel was infested with bugs. We had to change rooms 3 times. One room had really bad water damage, the floor boards were sticking out. The room we settled for (because the booking was non-refundable) had dead bugs everywhere and it was not clean at all. Because of all this we decided to leave all our belongings in our car. Worse hotel ever.
