★★★★★ 5.0 Lora Morozova · Feb 2026

Room number 205. I wouldn't say the room is luxurious, but the price isn't exorbitant either – 78 dollars. The room was warm and clean, the bathroom and toilet were also clean. The furniture, lamps, and beds are old, but that didn't prevent us from having a good rest. There were no cockroaches or bedbugs, which alone deserves 5 stars. In general, it's a decent place to stay. The hotel is located in a good area with many shops and gas stations nearby, so you won't go hungry. The staff is friendly. The hotel is quiet, no one bothered us. I recommend it.

Unkept and uncleaned rooms. We changed to three different rooms upon the first day until we settled with a somewhat decent room. First room we looked at had used floss and trash on the floor as well as a used syringe poking out of the air-conditioning unit. The second room we walked into had live baby cockroaches and the lamp Definitely looked like it had seen better days with no lampshade and a missing lightbulb. The third room we stayed in seemed like it was swept still had dead bugs in it, but we ended up throwing them out, also room did not smell the best but smelt better than the other rooms. Online states they offer free breakfast. However, the only thing they provided was coffee, the room for breakfast was completely shut down the entire time upon stay. Also staff was rather rude i

Customer service was great. Location was great. The rooms were a little bit dirty, but the beds were super clean. Slept very comfortable No loud noises and security was fine. last-minute Gasparilla trip

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Leah Hennes · Jan 2026

The only saving grace was that the staff was polite. But the room was dirty, didnt look like it had been vacuumed recently, cobwebs on the ceiling, smoke detector was missing, several light bulbs were missing or didnt work, there was mold all around the bathtub and hair still in the tub. The shower curtain was absolutely filthy. There was no toilet paper holder. The hand towel had stains on it. And the beds were incredibly hard and uncomfortable. It was so bad that I called my airline in the middle of the night to change my flight to the earliest one so I could get up and leave. I didnt expect anything great for the price, but I had hoped for better than disgusting.
