I stayed only one night to board my cruise ship. Bar was extremely LOUD (it was Halloween) and not closed off well enough ... from dining room. Food was good, staff was friendly.

Decent room; nice bar and restaurant; Local-area shuttle was excellent unexpected bonus; housekeeping was generally mediocre ... with too few towels one day and never left coffee for in-room use...Location was what was wanted, price was reasonable -- $8 per night to park was unexpected and unwelcome surprise...but shuttle somewhat offset that news.

Great getaway

This place is great for short stay. I was there just overnight for a concert and I think a lot of the people there for the ... same reason. The hotel is a short drive from the airport and all favorite tourist spots.

Nice for the price & location

Reason for hotel stay: Our child was participating in a sports competition at the Bob Martinez Center. We noticed that the ... toilet flushed VERY slow when we first checked in, but thought nothing of it until it was totally backed up at 1:00am when we were going to bed. Front desk person offered to send us a plunger (but not to plunge it for us) but we declined. I was NOT going to plunge a nasty, stinking toilet at that hour when I was ready to climb into bed. When we asked for a room key to a nearby available room to use THAT toilet instead, there was none available. Finally, they sent us a room key for a room 2 doors down, but not until we woke up the NEXT morning. Front desk person said she was by herself & couldn't leave the desk at night. I suspect that room was indeed available the previous night, but they didn't want to offer us the key at that time because she couldn't leave the front desk. Also, the hotel seemed to be filled with nothing but college-aged kids/young adults & NO families or people with kids. However, it didn't seem too noisy that weekend. They seemed to only have ONE rolling luggage carrier which was always unavailable, so we had to make multiple trips to the car from the 10th floor.

Relaxing Relief

I thought there was room service, but they did not offer that. Also, they should state that a few of there floors will be ... taken by new U.Tampa students. I like my own children, but when I want to get some peace and quiet I would rather not hear a lot of other teenagers in all areas of the hotel!

Great Personal Service

This hotel is in a great location being downtown Tampa. Although it is a bit of a walk to some areas of downtown, they ... offered a shuttle service to the convention center which was very convenient. Although, not as upscale as some of the other hotels downtown, this is a great spot if you are looking to save on the rate. Was a great bargain. The rooms were clean and the hotel staff very helpful.

ok but clear signs of getting better

we stayed here to go to a concert. The lobby of the hotel is lovley with nice computers for public use and nice modern ... artwork on the wall. The bar area and restaurant have clearly gone under recient renovation. The improvements seem to have stopped there. The Rooms still have a feel of a 2 star hotel. I get the vide that the hotel was under a major renovation before the economy tanked. hopefully they will start up again in the near future. This place is just a few minor upgrades from being a really nice place to stay.

The hotel needs more attenions in the room. I didn´t have bulbs lights in the room. The bathroom need more attention. Thanks ...

not the worst hotel...

tampa traveler May 28, 2009

The location was perfect for my needs. However, the room was small and crowded. The most disappointing was being notified of ... the $8 per night parking fee which was not on Orbitz web site and not on the hotel's website. There are no other parking options in the vicinity, and it was an unguarded, unsecure lot.

Falling Apart

Robert Jun 12, 2008

The local area is fair at best with minimal parking lot lighting. The lobby looks great, but the rooms and hallways are that ... of a very unkept property. The room had iron burns in the dirty and old carpet, the bathroom door was actually falling off the hinges, the top three screws were missing, and it smells very bad. The vending area had broken glass as somebody in the past had smashed their way thur and it now the empty machine just sits there. The walls are paper thin you can hear the next room clear as day, and don't ask for a wakeup call, you won't get it.I would stay away from this hotel at all costs, pay a few bucks more you will be glad you did.

Best Bed and Super Shuttle Service

We only arrived at the HoJo at 1am, and our check-in went very smoothly. The lobby was large and clean. We had a king-sized ... bed and a nice city view from our window. The bed was the most comfortable ever, with down pillows and comforter. I only had one small problem. It looked like the bathroom had been recently given a face lift, which was great. But there was plaster spattered on some of the fixtures, and paint blotches and missed spots. If I hadn't turned on the light, I may not even have noticed. I only mentioned it because it did detract a little from the overall feel of the room. The next morning the staff was very helpful with their recommendations for things to do. The hotel does offer a breakfast buffet, which smelled lovely, but we had other plans. We took their free shuttle, although cheap public transportation was nearby. It seemed to be a very central location. Ybor City and the Port were both within ten minutes, and the HoJo is right next to the Performing Arts Center.Oh, and they also had computers in the lobby that were quite nice and free to use. And they happily stored our luggage after we checked out until we got a ride to the Port.
