Good enough hotel
Pros:

The receptionist I met at check in was a very lovely lady- friendly and helpful. When I asked to change rooms, she changed it immediately. The room was very nice and comfortable and the cleaners cleaned regularly. There was 24/7 coffee and hot drinks station. Waffle station at breakfast was great.

Cons:

Breakfast is something I really look forward to when I go away but I wasn't too impressed with the breakfast. I don't understand why we had to use paper plates, cups and cutlery at breakfast. Not sure if it's a US hotel issue because even a 1 star hotel in the UK doesn't use paper plates, cups and cutlery.
There also wasn't a good variety at breakfast. There was cheese omelette one day or scrambled eggs the following day, hash brown, sausage or bacon. There were no vegetables (e.g. mushrooms) and the fruit selection was
bananas and apples. The breakfast just felt a bit basic to me compared to other hotels I've been in.

This hotel is okay for a budget stay if you’re not picky, but the room hygiene could be better
Pros:

The hotel was conveniently located near public transport, and the check-in process was quick and straightforward. The bed was comfortable enough for a short stay, and the room had basic amenities like a TV that worked fine.

Cons:

Parking wasn’t free, which added unexpected costs to my trip. The carpet in the room felt unhygienic and could use a deep clean or replacement. No slippers were provided, making it uncomfortable to walk around barefoot. Overall, it’s just a basic hotel with no frills, but the biggest issue was the unsafe neighborhood—there were lots of drug addicts on the street, which made me feel uneasy especially at night.

Pros:

Everything was nice and clean, the lobby smelled lovely when we walked in. Our room was spacious. The free breakfast was very nice. The location was a bit out of the was but not a big deal since we had our car (parking was an additional $7 per day).

Pros:

Substantially Below Average hotel with a very very scammy additional charge, just to park in their own hotels parking lot, which is clearly just an additional way to grab a bit of extra money out of your pocket in a completely disreputable manner. Traffic around this hotel is very dangerous, and the neighborhood itself also feels very unsafe. The night we stayed here, there was constant police activity in this area, as well as both in the hotels parking lot and in the hotel itself, which smelled strongly of weed, and was definitely not a great experience. While it was a convenient spot to stay for our Tampa cruise departure, it is definitely not an option that I would ever take again as the negatives of this property greatly outweighed any conveniences and/or benefits that its proximity to the port, and somewhat lower than average price provided. Breakfast provided was only fair, and nothing special either.

Pros:

Not a great area. Had to pay for parking which came as a surprise. The room was clean but there was a bad smell in the lobby overlaid with disinfectant and the elevator smelled awful. Breakfast was not good, coffee was undrinkable. At least it was not overly expensive and the location was convenient.
