There was not hot water for the shower. The tub drain needed replaced. Excellent check in yesterday gentleman was very nice. Went beyond our needs. In the morning I advised a different gentleman about hot water and didn’t care. A lot of homeless people were around.

He gave me a key to a second room, but when I opened the door, it was full of love bugs and flies because there was a noticeable gap under the door. At that point, I had enough and asked for a refund. I ended up leaving and booking a room somewhere else. Overall, the hotel was dirty, poorly maintained, and not a place I would stay again.

Dangerous location, crackheads and thugs on the property parking lot being loud and obnoxious and harassed me every time I left my room/returned. Was scared my entire stay could barely even sleep, the room doesn’t even smell clean or sanitized, hair on the bed and pillows so I doubt they wash the sheets. I checked out early, too many bad things it’s just not worth it, spend a little more to go somewhere comfortable and safe.

Bad area Vagrants everywhere, The hotel itself is okay but if you going on vacation chose differently,,,,,,,at least find one with a pool. The doors are located outside of the hotel and and my room door was not secure was not aligned and did not close properly. Close enough to the casino but not worth the stay even at 40,00 a night

Room was clean with fresh coats of paint and decorated with a minimalist modern industrial feel to them. Bathroom was basic and could use some minor modifications like a better shower head and providing a hair dryer--which is pretty basic most places even if they are bolted to a wall.

Do not book this place. It's filthy, riddled with roaches. Bed sheets had holes, floors were sticky. We didn't even stay the night , & when we told the front desk about our complaints he didn't seem phased. As if it was normal for the rooms to have bugs.

The facility does not look like advertised! We went to check in and ask about the pool and that is when they stated the pool was closed! The room itself was stale smelling and had a few bugs and spiders as if the room hadn’t been you touched in decades! It was a very short stay but I will most definitely never stay here again!

the pool was "closed for repairs" and it look like a permenent condition. The homeless people peed in the elevator, which smelled like urine and wax. The floor was disgusting. The manager talked on the phone the whole time he checked us in. Frankly this place showed "regret of ownership" rather than pride of ownership. While they can't help it if the homeless peolple invaded the neighborhood, they could pick up the belongings left by them at the entrance put security lmonitors by the elevator and redo the elevator floor. We made as far as opening the door to the room, saw the saggy beds and turned around and left.

Should be condemned. Very poor condition. It was too late to cancel when I got to town. I did not stay. Large amount of water under the lvp flooring squished up when walked on. Bedbugs on the sheets and pillows. Not fit for a homeless shelter. I went to Qualiy inn on Adamo dr. Nice hotel, good value.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL! We arrived here with our kids in the evening. There was nobody present at the "night window," and outside the property was an unattended car with all doors open, large and loud groups partying, homeless people... we did not feel it was a safe place. We immediately contacted Expedia and told them we would try to get a room at the neighboring hotel (which turned out to be 100% safe and so much better despite only a slight price difference), and got our first night refunded by them. Expedia said they would contact the owners of the hotel to get the rest of our money back. Three days later, we get a message from Expedia stating that the owners are completely unresponsive, which means they are unable to get us refunded.

You couldn't even set outside to drink coffee in the morning as they had advertised not an ideal place for a family or a honeymoon who was so displeasing that we ended up leaving after the first night?It was not the honeymoon I expected.This is not

Outside the rooms, there were groups of people lingering around that made the environment feel unsafe and unsettling. Combined with the fact that the hotel is located in a bad neighborhood, I genuinely did not feel secure during my time there. I was supposed to stay from Friday to Sunday, but due to these conditions, I decided not to stay at all. I spoke with the front desk regarding my concerns, and they offered to move me to another room. I went with a staff member to view a second room, but unfortunately, it was just as bad if not worse than the first. At that point, I explained that I did not feel comfortable staying at the property and asked if there was anything they could do. The staff informed me that I would still be charged for the first night, but that I would receive a refund for the second night since I would not be staying. However, I never received the promised refund. Overall, this experience was extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

I hate to do this to a family business but I went in on Friday for one night and unfortunately the first room we had smelled of cigarettes and the bedsheets were dirty. We complained and they gave us a more renovated room but the cigarette smell was even stronger. We decided to leave the property and stay at a holiday inn. I do think they are working hard to renovate the property but it’s just not there yet.

Was in a very sketchy area. A lot of homeless living in hotel or around hotel. Was so uncomfortable with accommodation that we didn’t stay entire night due to not feeling safe.

As a solo traveler looking for a low price option on Expedia that's close to the casino this seemed like a decent choice. The cleanliness and furniture was subpar but that was expected based on price and reviews. AC unit worked great, water pressure was good, mini fridge was clean and functional. The surrounding area has a high frequency loitering and the mini mart near the hotel is more of a hangout for locals.

I will not be able to rate the services or the room not even cleanliness. Upon arrival we were greeted by Security who advised that safety was an issue. I would have to agree since there are at least 30 individuals lying in the street homeless. There are no restaurant or food chain or even shopping center close by. The roadway Inn is not recommended for anyone for short term shade.

I have never been more appalled by a hotel stay in my life. The Rodeway Inn Near Ybor City is not just outdated. It is filthy, falling apart, and completely unsafe. The room we were given was in horrible condition: dirty floors, crumbling walls with actual holes, peeling paint, moldy curtains, and a constant stench of stale cigarette smoke coming from the vents. The lighting was so dim we could barely see anything, and to make it worse, the shower head and faucet handle literally fell off, making it impossible to take a proper shower. There were cockroaches crawling around the room, which made even being there feel like a health risk. And as if that wasn't enough, there was a group of clearly high or intoxicated individuals loitering around the entrance of the building. We felt incredibly unsafe even walking to the room We decided to leave a full night early because it was simply not safe or healthy to stay there any longer. When we requested a refund for the second night, which we did not even stay for, Expedia tried to contact the property. The manager gave excuse after excuse and ultimately refused to approve the refund. I didn’t even ask for the full stay to be refunded, just one night! That was apparently too much to ask. It has now been over 2 weeks and I’m still fighting for a refund of just $90. That this property is still listed on Expedia is honestly shocking.

The elevator smelled like pee. The room was very dark. The only think that was neat was the bed. Lamp with no lampshade on the dresser. There were rust colored stains on the plastic toilet lid. The bottom of the bathroom door was broken in pieces. We didn’t spend another minute in that room. We took our things and left. We only came back to sleep on top of the bed after our night out at 6am to get sone rest before driving back home. Will never come back.

The laminate floors were dirty and sticky under my shoes. Bed was lumpy, sheets extremely moist and smelly. Unable to shower because it was dirty and towels were moist and smelled. The entire motel was surrounded by homeless and addicts including some using the pool to bathe themselves. We decided to check out at 2:00 am because the conditions and the surrounding activities at this motel were unbearable.

I do not recommend this place. It does not look anything like the advertised photos. It is dirty, parking lot filled with sex workers, and people getting high. The rooms were broken down, stained dirty and had roaches. We walked in and walk right out!!

We arrived for check in the afternoon. Near the hotel entrance there was a bunch of people smoking and wearing few clothes. We didn’t even got in, we better lost our money than staying one night there. This place was dark, dirty and look very unsafe. Not recommended!!

The room was clean and fairly comfortable. The hotel seemed to be undergoing rennovations or upgrades because there was painting in progress and furniture was relatively new. It was a good price for the stay. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Staff was completely rude and unprofessional. Room itself was unsafe and unsecured. Bugs were in the room. Stayed for a little over an hour then left. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had.

This place is horrible! I showed up at the property and just outside the property was about 30-50 undesirable types hanging about. The front doors to the hotel lobby were closed and a sign said to go to the "NIGHT WINDOW", there was no security and people were coming in off the street and dodging around. I refused to stay at this location and would recommend to all to do the same. This place just didn'tlook safe at all.

This place is a drug haven, had to pay a deposit for I don’t know what, the room was all tore up. Tile in shower looked like it was going to fall out on me. Front of drawers on bedside table was tore out, curtains were barely hanging. None of the coke machines worked, you could smell marijauna every where. It’s a real bad area. People being robbed in front of me and don’t let me forget to mention people knocking on your door all hours of the night. I’m a single elderly lady and I was scared, no lobby to stand in just a window where you check in and pay deposit. No security at all ! I’m waiting for it to get light outside so I can call a Uber and get out of this death trap. I’m going through stage 4 cancer and traveled by air to see my mother in a memory care, cancer is the least of my worries right now.

Was jot pleased at all. I booked a double queen bed room and got full size beds. No blankets on the bed folded and put at corner of bed. Floors didn’t look to be vacuumed. The bathroom was nasty and had dead roaches in the tub. One wash cloth and one towel for 4 guest. The pool needed to be shocked. And couldn’t gain access to it till late in the afternoon after asking for it to be unlocked on several occasions.the outside area was far from being clean and you had drug dealers coming in and out along with numerous of people drinking and carrying on outside the fence to the hotel and n fence to the point that police were called. Not a very safe place for a family especially children would not recommend to anyone and I should of actually ask for a refund and found somewhere else to stay.

Worst hotel I had stayed in. Room/towels were dirty and furniture was broke. People selling drugs in the parking lot, and looking inside your car. Bunch of girls walking thru the parking soliciting. I would never stay there again, even if it was as free. AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COST!

This particular Rodeway in was horrible. Floors were dirty. Walls were dirty. Sink was fallung apart. Bathtub/shower had mold in the silicon. The bed cover had cigarette burns/ holes in it. People outside smoking weed, loud offensive music til after midnight. Remote control for TV broke, held together with tape. Stated there was a laundry and continental breakfast, was told NO due to remodeling. ( wasn't remodeling) ABSOLUTE TRASH...

We went to a concert in Ybor city then came to our Motel room. At night, there are literally a 100 homeless people surrounding the Motel. It is scary to not feel safe. The room had a smell and there were roaches. My husband, my adult son and I slept on top of the covers fully clothed for about 4 hours until sunrise. We felt a little safer and left for our three hour drive home. Everyone was exhausted. This Motel is not safe and dirty

Run down with homeless people around the property doing drugs. Not safe… dog excrement also on the property from patrons staying with their dogs long term.
- 2/5
The room was in poor condition, but the environment around the hotel was the worst factor. The amount of people hanging around, sleeping, and doing drugs (actually witnessed a spoon over a flame) was overwhelming and not a safe place for guests. The front desk staff was great.
- 1/5
This property is invested with cockroaches, the vents are packed with dust, the floors are sticky, and the entire block is ridden with drugs being used and sold and homeless camps directly out front. My first room had broken a/c and was so musty I could barely breathe. I requested a room change...my new room had A/c but the window was unlocked before I got there. The refrigerator was missing and the TV didn't work. Worst hotel of my 33 year life.

When I arrived, there was a police cruiser out front. Didn’t think much about that, but when I came out, there was a gentleman who was dressed like a ninja with a badge clearly in SWAT outfits. The room was so disgusting that I decided I could not stay and ended up booking a hotel in another part of the city. Would not recommend anybody read that this hotel

Homeless everywhere party's couldn't leave the room last night because the door would only open from the inside. Dirty rooms. Drug deals. Maintenance didn't speak English waited an hour to be let back in to room. No water all day Friday. Beds need to be replaced, springs poking you all night. No compensation for any of this. Was not a nice place at all and definitely won't be goin back!!!!!

As soon as we walked in the light switch didn’t work and then when we finally got to the bathroom using our phone light to guide us there was roaches everywhere! My boyfriend and I were fighting for our lives!! Sheets dirty with oil stains microwave was disgusting and missing pieces! My skin crawled of how many roaches and how dirty it was. I’m from the hood so a few roaches don’t phase me but baby this place is infested. People lurking outside all through the night. I didn’t even stay for longer than 10 minutes! Close this place down should be ashamed to even have this place running. And I couldn’t even get a refund. PMO!!!

The door did not close, the room was destroyed. I entered and went out. The hotel staff refused to refund me. Bun the time I got to my car I had at least 4 people standing around and looking into the bed of the truck VERY UNSAFE

We walked in the room and looked around the floor was gross the chair is covered in mold, the body mirror had smudges, and the toilet was stained, we also killed 6 roaches. We then asked to be moved to another room, which was cleaner although the the hard latch at the top of the door was broken, the chairs were again moldy and we also killed another 3 roaches. Safe to say we will never give this place our business again EVER.

The room is dirty and not comfortable for the price we paid. Said breakfast is included but it’s only coffee served and telling us that the buffet room is under renovation. 😔😔

It was a nice stay. The staff is pretty cool they seem respectful and easygoing. The coffee in the office was hot and fresh, now the people hanging around the neighborhood might make you nervous..lol! But if you stay to yourself and just looking for a spot to rest up this spot ain't so bad. And they have competitive prices.

I have stayed at several Rodeway Inn’s and I am Familiar with the area, so when booking this I thought it would be fine for just the night. Upon arriving, my husband immediately had a bad feeling. He is not one to get that way but I was extremely tired and just wanted to sleep. The front of the hotel looked fine but there were a lot of homeless people around and even a prostitute! I went to check in and had to wait several minutes for someone to come. I was placed on the 3rd floor and the room immediately next door looked like it was someone’s home, they decorated with their belongings. Actually the whole side of the hotel looked dirty and there were what it seemed like multiple peoples homes (inside they did have rates for long term rentals and if I knew that ahead of time I would have picked elsewhere.) inside the room you can smell and see black mold and smell cigarettes. There were multiple holes in various places, including right in front of the toilet! The main door lock was half dangling, and looked like it could be kicked in. The bed was very old and sank in so you could feel the springs. The microwave was very dirty. The painting looked like it had moisture damage and the bed had holes in the sheets. This app couldn’t help my situation but the man at the front desk kindly refunded when I went down and showed him photos. The hotel right next door looked so much safer and cleaner as well.

Cons - The room was not the cleanest, needs paint, burn holes on bed comforter, bathtub needs repair and some shower tiles were cracked but still usable. Lastly the area has LOTS OF HOMELESS, THUGS AND DRUG DEALERS outside durning the day and night. I saw 4 men sitting by the pool smoking marijuana and numerous bags of on the table. I was asked several times if i wanted to buy drugs. Honestly, I would stay here again If I couldn't find anything in the area with a comparable price.

only one room was offer and it was on the 3rd floor. the lift was not working and we were unable to walk up 3 flights or stairs.
