"I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO MY WORST EMENY. I WOULDN'T LET MY DAUGHTER OR MYSELF WALK ON THE CARPET BAREFOOTED. IT WAS NASTY. THE PAINT ON THE WALLS WAS DIRTY AND CHIPPING AND THE BEDS SANK IN THE MIDDLE. I STAYED 1 OUT OF THE 4 I WAS SUPPOSED TO. DISCUSTING."

"We thought we didn't need anything special because we wouldn't be in the room, but this was the worst hotel experience we could have imagined. The first day we were there, someone was carried out on a stretcher and a man yelled profanities to a woman in the parking lot. If that wasn't enough, the second day a pipe burst at the Hurricane and they shut all of the water off until 8pm. Being at the beach all day and coming back to no running water for 3 hours and no suggestions of where to go to wash our hands or use the restroom in the meantime was enough for us to complain.

We called the front desk and our travel agency. We paid for 4 nights and only managed to get 50% back, so although we complained, we still paid for the 2 nights we were there. We ended up finding a room on our own- Best Western Bay Harbor Hotel. We should have been here from day 1."

"First night I was in a room over the Hurricane Bar and the music kept me up till 2. When I asked if I could be moved to another room where it would be quiet it was done with no hassle. The staff was friendly. The carpets in the rooms were stained and nasty looking. For the price relative to what was in the area it was o.k. If you plan to go to bed early request a room that is well away from the Bar."

"Great location, friendly and efficient staff, good restaurant, nice lobby and tech room, and convenient airport shuttle. Rooms need makeover, including drapes and carpeting, as well as replace old ac. Also, need to eliminate funky odor which I believe comes from ac."

"Lobby is clean and up to date but is deceiving compared to the rooms quality. Rooms need serious upgrades (carpet, paint, bathrooms, furniture). Rusty ceiling in bathroom, sink didn't drain well, carpet was a little scary. The rooms weren't disgusting but definite upgrades necessary! Also, hotel is somewhat inside out .... U go up the elevator inside the lobby and when u get off to your floor you are outside but in the middle of the hotel. Somewhat strange but has its benefits I guess. Rooms seemed well sound proofed as we never heard any other guests. For what we paid, it wasnt bad but with 2 babies I would rather stay somewhere a little cleaner & more up to date."

"The price and location were good. Staff was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. The toilet did not flush in my room. The carpet was damp between the beds. The carpet was dirty... My feet were black from going barefoot on the carpet. The shuttle was free and very timely... That worked out great."

"Overall the stay was pleasant. The lobby and the Grill restaurant are nice. The service from the front desk couldn't have been better. Our requests were handled with absolute care.
However the rooms were clean but dated. The TV service and equipment is poor. The rugs and room decor need major upgrades.
The location is good for trips around Tampa and the beaches.
I would recommend the hotel as value not opulence."

"My boyfriend loves the hotel, and prefers to stay at it each time he visits Tampa. It's ok. The restaurant downstairs is great. I met ppl in there who regularly stay at nearby hotels and come over for this restaurant.

The room was relatively clean. At 2 different times, I saw a small roach crall acroos the room/or along a door frame.

The front desk person wasn't all that friendly or helpful when I arrived. She let us know that, even though we were members, since we pre-paid and booked our room through BookIt.com, we were not able to earn points in our member program.

She also told me that, after booking a 6 night reservation (due to taking a red eye flight the night before), I was trying to check in early for my 5 night stay. When I showed her my confirmation email that I was checking in late for a 6 night stay, she informed me that my reservation was changed to 5 nights and since my reservation was made through an agency and that's who paid her, there was nothing she could do about it and I needed to contact them regarding a refund for the 6th night.
In all, the room was ok. It was relatively spacious and clean (minus the couple of roaches), had a working a/c, and nice restaurant."

"I stayed the night of the 13th flew out of Tampa Airport early a.m. 14th left auto. Upon return flight late 17th Shuttle back to Hotel was late took it 45 minutes to arrive at Tampa Airport for pickup. I was prebooked for a King room w/ small refridgerator. They had a double. Told them could not sleep on a double b/c was to tall and feet hung over end of bed. Asked for non-smoking Queen or King as close to the elevator as possible b/c had walked the entire length of the Airport and was very very tired. The room I was given was at the very end of the hallway away from the elevator. Was not happy at all. When I stayed on the 13th they did a great job and even up graded me. So don't know what happened?"
