First thing I saw was roaches. Bad start. Then there were cigarette or some kind of burns on the bed. The door did not lock unless you used the bar that flips over. If you leave the room, you can’t lock it. Why I’m saying all this? No way I was staying in that room after I saw at least 5 roaches. I have video proof. Front desk guy was doing his best and that was appreciated. I just wanted to sleep. Moved me to the room next door. Pretty sure that wasn’t going to solve the bug problem. Didn’t see any roaches. Still burns on sheets and covers. One of the locks didn’t work but it would lock if you left the room and the key would open the door 👍. A/C looked 20 years old and had no vent slats but it produced cold air. I’m ready to sleep. For some reason I fall asleep to the sound of the TV. Well, TV wouldn’t turn on. Called front desk and he came immediately. I said “the only thing I didn’t check was if it was plugged in”. You guessed it, not plugged in. Then the remote didn’t work. Had to get up to turn TV On or OFF. Fell asleep 😴. Woke up to go to restroom. Hello there Mr. Roach on the toilet seat. Good thing I didn’t just plop down on the seat and hear a little crunch. So, bugs probably crawled on me, but I was so tired. Next day, ice machine not working. Oh yeah, the refrigerator shelves on the inside of the door were duct take. To keep stuff from falling out. Classy 👍. There’s more but you get the picture. AWFUL!!!

It was like walking into a Saw trap. I didn’t know what was going to surprise me next. The furniture was broken and falling apart. There was what appeared to be dried blood on the sheets. There were holes in the walls and pieces of the ceiling were falling down. There was no hot water. I do NOT recommend this place for your stay. When I went to the front desk to voice my concerns all I got was faked shock and half hearted apologies with no offers of remediation. I checked out immediately and went elsewhere.

Maybe the worst room I have rented in my life. Damaged walls, trim falling off, and smelled bad.

Room was NOT as advertised by Expedia. The pictures were very misleading. Our room was quite damaged, dirty, and smelled. Paint peeling, dirty garbage left in a drawer, dirt left on the toilet lid, mattress old and broken (sunk in on one side).

It seemed like there were many people living on the property. There were dogs barking and kids crying, i ended up not even staying there as it was supposed to be a getaway for the night.

Worst experience ever, we arrived around 6pm, the front office is closed. They do put a note with a phone number on the window, we called more than one hour, nobody answered. We have kids i the car, so I have to try to find someone.I went to laundry room, some women were there. Room is very very dirty, cockroaches everywhere. They don’t have Wi-Fi,don’t have coffee, don’t have drink water no matter cold or hot. The faucet is broken, toilet is leaking and make noises. And the smell, mix with manures and perfumes . Nobody should live in this condition.

I am trying to get a refund as the room is very disgusting. The sheets had to be changed upon arrival and everything is falling apart. The tv doesn’t work at all. It is unsafe to drive home the 4.5 hr journey , very very upset and not at all happy.

The room was clean but the property itself was very dirty. I didn’t even want to take my dog out to potty due to garbage, broken glass and dog poop everywhere. I guess no one picks up after their dog. The phone didn’t work and we had no wi fo after several attempts to enter the password given to us from the front text. The front text person upon check in was very nice

Good service. Property is on the old side, but well updated and maintained. Wifi is not the best, but similar to other properties. No coffeemaker, but there is a Circle K that has coffee a 5 minute drive away. There are also several restaurants nearby. Good value overall, and would stay here again as a Spring Training (Dunedin) stay.

Older motel but served its purpose.
Older place but served its purpose. The staff was friendly and allowed an early check in for $20 after an early morning arrival. The tv in the room didn't have a remote and although the day person/owner made efforts to procure us a remote we were ultimately left watching RX for 4 days. The hotel is an approximately a $40 Uber ride to/from the Tampa airport and roughly the same to the Hard Rock Seminole. There are many eatery options within a mile walk in either direction but toad construction made some of those options difficult to get to. I can't say I will never stay there again as the do allow dogs so if I were to drive to Clearwater in the future with my dog I would book them again but unlikely to stay there gain if flying in.

We reserved a bottom level, smoking, pet room for my disabled mother. I even called to make sure he had that room for us. He said yes. 30 minutes later we got there and he "had just rented it". You have to call and ring the bell multiple times to get a human to the front desk. We got her into her room and the fire alarm kept chirping loud. We went back down to the office to call and ring the bell and wait. He handed me the wrong size batteries for us to replace them. Told me to come back if it was wrong. It was. Rinse and repeat ringing the bell and calling. Got the right battery and my husband changed it. When we went back in there are roaches in the room on the floor and walls. Room is in rough shape period. Burns and stains in the blanket and sheets. By far our worst check in experience ever. We have traveled all over the US and stayed in hundreds of motels and hotels.

The room I was given needed painting. The paint was peeling off the walls and ceiling. Furniture is old and needs replacing. This room, room 208 needs attention desperately. With updates, it could be a nice room.

Stay at the Howard Johnson
Stayed for two nights. When I arrived the kid working seemed so confused about the fact the I was checking in and it took him about 5 minutes to understand that I was checking in and needed a key. I’m not sure if he was tired or high. The other man that I dealt with was nice and helpful. The room was disgusting though with holes in the sheets dirty walls and ceilings and the room I stayed in had a broken air conditioner with a missing vent. The wi-fi also did not work. The sheets appeared to be clean, but I felt dirty lying on the bed in fear of catching something. In general the area is not terrible, but some of the people staying there seem sketch and I’d assume are addicts. If you have no option or just trying to stay for one night I guess I’ve seen worse at a extended stay, but a way better suggestion would be to stay in your car or at the Howard Johnson down the street. I went there my third night and it was way better!

Full price cockroach hotel. Door did not seal even after locking, no surprise bugs were all over... The maintenance either doesn't know how to make a room right, or were drunk on the job... It was clean swept, but the walls look like something from a gangster movie.
