Clean and neat. Friendly staff.

I am from out of state so when I read South Tampa Hotel and suites, I was expecting a hotel, but it was actually more of a motel. It was clean and neat both the property and the room but like I said, when you advertise as hotel and suites it wasn’t. I have to say that the price, when I went to pay, surprised me. Very very reasonable. I was only there one night, but I would stay there again if I needed to stay in that area .

Excellent motel - great price. Room was nicely decorated and extremely clean. The front desk were very helpful and the nice gentleman in the breakfast area was very accommodating even though we had missed the breakfast window. The pool area is a nice addition and parking is perfect. Room was very quiet and had everything we needed. Breakfast pancakes and coffee were great as was the bar/restaurant just nearby on the other side of the street. Make sure to take a photo with the giant deckchair before you leave! Highly recommended.

Rooms are super clean, I've not stayed in a room this clean for this price point in a long time. Pool is open 8AM-10PM and is somewhat heated so the water feels great any time of the day. Well lit parking lot that feels safe to sit out and enjoy the Tampa weather. Very close to the airport AND the cruise port. Uber was only $15 from airport and $10 to cruise port. Within walking distance to Publix, Dollar Tree, Walgreens, Circle k, Shell, and other gas stations/stores for snacks, drinks, and cigarettes, and within walking distance of a few different restaurants. Staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. Allowed us an early check in and proactively came by our room to make sure we had enough towels/pillows/and blankets. Unlike some "motels" this does not have anyone living here permanently, only overnight or weekly guests on vacations. There's no loud music, arguing, or police sirens like at some motels. The entire place was renovated after it was bought out from Howard Johnson and the work was done really well. Breakfast was great too

Nothing. This was the best motel experience I've had and I will always book here first when in the Tampa area.

After reading local hotel reviews, we decided to spend a little extra for something nice, and we're so glad we did. Our first impression upon arrival was that the exterior looked a bit dated, but the recently remodeled rooms were a pleasant surprise. The interiors are truly lovely, and the beds are exceptionally comfortable—possibly the most comfortable I've ever experienced in a rental. I slept better here than at home! The hot breakfast was outstanding, exceeding expectations. It included omelets, sausage, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, oatmeal, a variety of juices, coffee, milk, yogurt, muffins, and bagels. The breakfast is served from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m., so an early start is necessary. It's evident that management has done an excellent job motivating their staff and hiring individuals who genuinely care about providing a great guest experience.

The customer service is fantastic everybody is so nice and so friendly and so helpful and always around which was nice I like the size of the room I love the bed so comfortable clean just a few things and I'm nitpicking but I'm very happy with what we had and the visit was very nice when we're back in the area this is the place we will stay

There's just a few little touch ups that need to be done like the door handles and around the door handles need to be wiped the headboards please please wipe the headboards down they were not good the only other problem was that when we came in it was late we went to bed but when I woke up the next morning and I got out of the bed I noticed that there was blood on the sheets and I had not noticed it last night because it was dark when we came in and late so I really wasn't happy about that . you need to upgrade the food a little bit more

Bed is comfortable, location is great, staff is very friendly. You have a desk with chair, a sitting chair, blow dryer, ironing board, coffee maker, little fridge. Price is fair and breakfast is included. There is a pool and apparently work out room. I like that they have big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and body lotion because it’s more sustainable.

3 suggestions: a curtain to provide privacy (not just the 1 you close), because you can only get daylight through that window and when it’s open, EVERYONE looks inside. Room smells a bit dusty, as well as the bed sheets. A do not disturb/ no cleaning sign. I did not want someone in my room while staying 2 nights and they did come in. This could also spare the hotel cleaning costs.

The staff was very helpful, friendly and responsive, especially Roger at the Front Desk. The room looked clean. (I looked under the mattress, pulled pillow case cover off, checked bathroom grout). Don't know if phone and tv remote were disinfected. I was surprised that there was a really nice kitchenette! I definitely would've used it had i stayed more than 1 night. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet. I love that they use dispensers for toiletries rather than single use plastic bottles! I didn't try breakfast or the pool, I checked in late and out early.

Decor is dated, especially the carpet, which needs to be replaced. Deadbolt didn't work. Phone didn't work until Roger came and worked on it for a few minutes. No nightstand or light right next to the bed.

I was thrilled to discover that the radiator was not egregiously loud like in other hotels. There was a kitchen with dishes and silverware. The bathroom was excellent. The pillows were actually very high quality unlike major chains like Hilton and Marriott where they literally flatten underneath your head and provide no cushion/support.

Only criticism would be the fact that there are no USB ports for phone charging. It is 2024, and all hotels across the United States should have this at this point. It would be quite cheap easy to install wall outlets in the rooms that include USB and USB-C. The return on investment by doing this would be massive.

Check in and parking was easy. Room looked just like pictures and was very clean ( more than expected for pricing) Bathroom sink / mirror was especially nice and up to date( good for pictures or doing makeup). Room was large ( got a two queen bed), more then enough space for 4 people with full suitcases, Had a desk area, Small kitchen are with mini fridge, microwave (which was very clean inside) and coffee maker which they also proved coffee for and cups/ accessories. Ice bucket included as well and ice machine was a short 1 min walk from room. Had an elevator which was super nice since we were on the second floor and had heavy suitcases. Includes breakfast on site at a short walk on the first floor- Lovely set up with lots of options including a pancake machine which was delicious and easy to use ( makes them fresh in front of you!). Overall loved my stay and will most likely return if i visit the area again!!

In room hotel phone did not work- tried to use to set a wake up call and reach the front desk but did not work. Not that big of a deal since smartphones exists

This was a motel not a hotel and was expecting a bad experience. To my surprise, it was great. The room had 2 clean and comfortable beds. Large shower and clean bathroom. The soap amenities were really nice and smelled great. The room had a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove and microwave. Lots of tv channels for the nice TV. They had a breakfast buffet included. It was ok. Coffee was ok but no decaf was available. I would stay here again if in town.

Decaf coffee on buffet. The door on room 221 sticks and hard to open. The cheese omelette was not good. Cereal selection was great. Offer only milk, not just whole milk.
