Service
9.6
Several accounts describe accommodating and super-helpful front desk staff and smooth check-in, though there was one extreme incident involving a manager's misconduct; overall staff service (excluding that managerial breach) tended to be helpful.
Location
8.6
Some guests praised the location as a plus, while a few noted the surrounding area felt rough; overall the location is considered convenient by multiple reviewers.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms were described as spacious with comfortable beds in some reviews and as run-down, AC problems, hard beds or stained linens in others — mixed quality leaning slightly positive for size but showing maintenance issues.
Amenities
5.8
Pool and pool area are mentioned (both positively for space and negatively for cleanliness or availability); fitness center and restaurant were reported unavailable at times; amenities are inconsistent.
Value for Money
9.8
Multiple reviewers called the price affordable and a strong point; given the low cost relative to some positive aspects, perceived value is high despite serviceability issues.
Food and Beverage
4.9
Several reviews noted no breakfast, no coffee in-room, and an unavailable restaurant — food & beverage offerings are lacking or absent for guests.
Overall Experience
8
Mixed overall: some guests would stay again and praised helpful staff/price/space, while others reported severe issues (privacy breach, roaches, mold, noisy/hard beds); on balance acceptable for a quick, budget stay but with notable risks.

We will never recommend anyone or will never come back.
Pros:

It’s a terrible experience which we ever had. Most importantly the front staff became so rude to all the customers . She even teased and laughed at us with their native language to co-workers. Disgusting

Cons:

Rooms are no clean . Smells like stinky .

Never again!
Pros:

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

It would have been nice if they cleaned before we got there. Having hot water is free in other hotels. I guess I didn't pay enough because neither room had hot water. My grandson ran out of the room with a long butcher knife, He found it in the drawer. We had to call to get toilet paper because there wasn't any. It's a shame because we didn't know until it was needed. Hairballs the size of golf balls rolling around the floor. Quite possibly the worst hotel i ever stayed at. Oh yeah, the list goes on.

I guess you get what you pay for
Pros:

The pool area was nice even though we did not use it

Cons:

The air freshener in the rooms was so overbearing. It smelled like cheap cologne, and it made her nose run. We had no towels in the room and it was extremely dirty.

Spend a little more and stay somewhere nicer. This is not the place.
Pros:

It was close to USF

Cons:

I did not like not having hot shower in the bathroom and the water, barely coming out of the showerhead, making it impossible to shower

Will not stay here again.
Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful as they could be given the hotel and rooms they are given to work with

Cons:

Rooms not clean. Floors dirty and greasy was put in a bed that had been remade but not with new linens instead remade with the same linens from the previous persons stay. No hot water and then just barely hot on the second day but then back to cold on the 3rd and 4th days. Poor water pressure any days. Pool was dirty so didn’t use that. Cable worked in one room but not the next as did the hdmi ports on the outdated TVs. Ac leaks down the wall.
