I have never had the experience I had at the Tampa Best Western. It was the ABSOLUTE WORST stay! I slept on towels because there was not one inch in the room that seemed clean. The carpet was filthy. The room smelled like roach spray and dirty gym socks. There was sticky substances all over the furniture. The chair was... more

We booked this Hotel to use our BW points. We were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the site. It was clean and quiet and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room had a combo fridge/micro. The continental breakfast had a good variety of items including hard boiled eggs and the hostess... more

This hotel looks great in the online pictures. When you get there you realize they "staged" the place for the advertising. No furniture in the courtyard, no potted palms. Really scary elevator. Employees smoking around the entrances. The pool is nice, if you are 12. The room stunk of roach spray. I suppose that's why we found dead roaches. The... more

Booked 3 rooms for a one night pre-cruise stay. A little confusion on check-in as they did not have the correct room configurations as we had requested but considering they had a full house, they did their best to accomodate us. Two of the rooms were fine but the third was somewhat dirty, found a couple of small bugs in... more

This hotel is everything they claim in their description...nothing real fancy...but it IS clean, well-maintained, excellent housekeeping, polite and efficient front desk and staff, in a good area of town with plenty of restaurants nearby (IHOP next door). Rooms have fridge and microwave, free internet, both wired and wireless, morning newspaper at door, safe, iron/board, coffemaker w/ supplies, hair dryer.... more

I stayed at this hotel from July 24, 2006 through July 27, 2006 in room 317 while taking the Florida Bar Exam. Although this is not a fancy hotel, I am giving it a good review based upon the $69.00 a night I paid for the room. The hotel is about a 10 minute taxicab ride from downtown Tampa, which... more

Before entering the pool there was a sign that read "you must have a room key to reenter hotel." My husband and I both had room keys but when we tried to reenter by sliding our room key multiple ways and multiple times on the keycard pass we were locked out. We called a staff person on the outside phone... more

We stayed at this Best Western for one night in March 2005. I would not have stayed longer. It was near the hotel and easy to get to after our late flight arrived. We had reserved a room with two double beds and when we got there they had a room with one king bed! Very annoying. The front desk... more

This hotel even with the rennovations continues to be outdated at best. The room are decent for the money but they are poorly stocked. Some of the staff were friendly but a course in "Good customer Service" would be beneficial to 90% of the staff including "management." The outside pool was beautiful so was the jacuzzi...but only 1 jet worked.... more

Well, my complaints are that they dont tell you they are on the absolute worst traffic road in Tampa, nor do they tell you there's no cold water for people with sunburns, and they didnt give us extra towels when we used the ones they provided us for the jacuzzi. The bed was big (of course you pay for that),... more
