Summary: Service people were generally very kind and helpful. When we returned to pick up forgotten items, they provided them efficiently. The inside doorlock was missing, so that needs repair. After I'd checked with the main office in the morning to extend our time by 1/2 hour, another man came to the door and persisted in telling me I had to do more by going to the office, even though I kept telling him I had already done so. Fearing him, I finally had to close the door on him.

Summary: Could have written a bit more but ran into character limit. We stayed for two nights while in Tampa for a concert.
Positives: The room was generally clean and the lights, fridge, sink, shower, and such seemed to work (room doesnt have a phone). The AC did work and keep the room cool, but its a bit loud.
Negatives: The door on the original room we were given wasnt properly locking after we closed it and opened without scanning our key card. It's security latch was also broken. When talking to the front desk person about it, he went up and showed us it worked when slamming it so hard the wall literally shook. We requested and got moved to another room. The new door did work normally, however the deadbolt didn't properly go into an indent in the doorplate (making it practically useless) and there was no longer a security latch.
Also, when I checked in I was only asked to provide my ID, not the IDs of the 2 other guests on the 3 person reservation. The next night at around 2am right after we had returned from the concert, we received loud angry pounding on the door from the man on the night shift (no announcement it was motel staff until after I opened the door). Long story short, he noticed us on the cameras and thought we werent guests since the policy is all guests in the room must provide IDs and the Uber that dropped us off was still there. He did explain he was strict about it since there were 2 shootings there in the past year or so.
I wouldnt recommend staying here.
