Parking was convenient and adequate. Air conditioner/heater worked well. The large pool was just getting warm enough to swim.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very friendly had the room prepped and cleaned fast. I was impressed with it for its stated hotel class even if it's been around a while it is very nice and the staff are quite friendly.
Everything thing in the room and the entire building need to be rebuild and remodeled. The beds wasn't that bad; just looked scary to sleep on. If I didn't have my toddler with me: I would of just stayed in my car.
The bathroom door was broken. The furniture was nit kept well. It smekt of smoke and mold. We would have left but there was no refund . I went to the store abd bought cleaning products . We didnt feel safe there.
Ugly place, unprofessional people, abandoned and dirty, alcohol and marijuana smell in all areas of the facilities. Walls, stairs, furnitures and hallways in bad shape no painted broken or dirty.
Hairs in the sink and the bed.
Is a very low class an unpleasant place to be.
The facility is in a poor neighborhood and the parking lot was empty.
One glance at the hotel and we decided not to stay forfiting my money and found a better hotel nearby.
I would not recommend Tampa inn unless u like crime, drugs and drama
