The minute we pulled up to this hotel I knew I had made a mistake!! The area was truly scary driving through and the hotel was even worse. The place was disgusting, I mean there was hair in the tub, the pool was filthy and the staff very rude. I asked for another pillow and they said no; we asked... more

My friends and I stayed at this hotel in January 2008 and were disgusted by the unsanitary hotel conditions and the rudeness of the staff when taking our complaints. Our room was infested with roaches in the bathroom and when I turned the bed down I found the leg of a palmetto bug in the sheets. Upon complaining the front... more

seems like this hotel has had a change of management and it certainly shows. The lobby has a homely feeling, and the rooms are comfortable. The staff is excellent and the hotel is located centrally in tampa near to all landmarks. My kids loved the courtyard and my wife loved the new furniture and fixtures in the room. I loved... more

I had to ask a party of teens (loud music with boombox on high) where my room might be. They were more helpful than the front... more

My family and I did not feel safe at this hotel. There were prostitutes visibly walking up and down the sidewalks calling for Johns at all hours of the night. There was a domestic assault in the rooms below us, and I had to call the police. The police never showed up. The room had a urine-like odor and you... more

Upon entering our room (#120) at the Howard Johnson Motor lodge located at 2520 N 50th St. in Tampa Florida, we noticed a damp musty odor. We contacted the front desk and was told to “air out the room with the A/C”. We put the A/C on and left the room to attend a dinner. We returned at 1:15 AM... more

I just learned of this site through a friend and wanted to post an experience I had at this motel because it was such an awful one. A friend and I arrived on New Years eve in Tampa and checked into our room. I noticed a smell shortly after entering the room, but could not find the source. Finally I... more
