Econo Lodge Airport @ RJ Stadium, Tampa FL

If I could leave 0 stars I would.
They canceled my reservation that I made 3 months prior with no notice.
They left me and my family with no other option. The receptionist smirking about the whole issue. Worst experience with any hotel I've ever had. Plus the place smelled. Steer clear!

The drip coffee was to die for. The staff made me feel alive again. The beds were extremely comfortable I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. There weren’t even any cigarette holes on the sheets! If I could move in here full time I would. Probably the best hotel I’ve ever been to in my entire life.

This place is disgusting. The room smells. There are roaches everywhere. There are cigarette burns in the sheets and blankets. The carpet feels both wet and sticky all over. And there are stains everywhere (walls, carpets, ceilings, etc). The only thing this place has going for it is the proximity to Raymond James Stadium (easily walkable). But if I knew how gross this place was, I would have definitely opted for a hotel a little farther away and taken an Uber instead.

1 thing on arrival no front desk person at desk. Waited about 30 minutes to check in. I called choice hotels they called the GM. She finally checked us in. Said we needed to call the front desk person on there cell phone. Room is very out dated. Shower dirty. Sheets torn. Bed's old. Choice hotels website says free coffee and juice 24 hrs a day. No juice website shows things for Breakfast.i was told by GM no breakfast only coffee. That is false advertisement. Room was cheap we got a friends and family rate. Choice needs to change a lot of things.

FAKE PICTURES! Roaches. Appearance is fake. If youre a kid who wants a room, its fine, but not good for an adult. Would give it a 0. Thus place literally made me laugh.

Discussing place. To many roaches, place stunk and was very dirty. Walls were dirty shower was dirty and when I asked for my money back, they said no because I already walked in the room. Never will I step foot in this place again.

Worst hotel ever, the room was matted hardwood glued to uneven cement, the shower pressure was so weak and the tube drainage was blocked. There wasn't any washcloths at all in the room just two towels and one hand towel. The bed was sunken in as if it was going to cave in. Above all they charge a $100 deposit for a place like that I can't understand why and then what makes me mostly upset is they take a week or two before refunding it as if the hotel was a 5 star. Never again will I stay at any econo lodge after dealing with this one.

The location is very convenient to RJ Stadium and the only reason we reserved a room here. It made walking to the Tampa Bucs game easy; definitely a plus that we could leave our car at the hotel and walk to the game. The room itself was pretty basic and blah. It looked clean but it smelled of stale smoke and old interiors. I wouldn’t stay here for any other reason except attending an event at RJ Stadium, when it isn’t ideal to drive to/park at the stadium.

When Belinda Carlisle said “heaven is a place on earth” she was talking about the Econo Lodge. The view of Tampa from the window left us all speechless. The carpets were clearly brand new, and the scent in the room could only be compared to a deep breath of fresh mountain air. Guessing what the mysterious fluids on the wall were always kept us on our toes. The pool (pictured) was the perfect temperature. Will definitely be coming back here in the future for another resort getaway.

One of the worst hotels I've stayed at in Tampa, better yet Florida, no wait a second America! On 2nd thought the world. I am a diamond elite member and it meant 0 to them. This one location was so horrible I am contemplating if Ill ever book with any choice hotel ever again in life! The issue rudeness and no regard for a patron's time. I tried to check into my king room and got the run around for 3 hrs. At almost 5 pm my room still wasnt ready. The front staff were powerless to help and the customer service line in India wasted a hr of my time with no resolution. Then to make matters worst when my friend exploded in rage for waiting 2 hrs after check in time for a room we were told to leave or get arrested! And on top of that the unsavory drew park characters there.do yourself a solid save your money!

If you want to visit a roach infested motel this is the place. Horrible service and also they do scam. You will see a cheap price when you Google the place but when you hit for website you will notice that the price went up. Is just a way to reel you in. The manager told me that they doing scams. They are. So sad.

The best reception staff I've had in a hotel. Most just do their Job with a friendly demeanor nothing wrong with that but the girls here are genuinely friendly and caring. The rooms are a bit run down but hey it's a cheap hotel what do you expect. No bed bugs or roaches or bad smells. Just old.

Worst experience I have ever had. Not only are they're roaches and bed bugs but Gina the general manager refused to return my $100 cash deposit after I asked to cancel the remaining 3 nights of my stay.

We went to check in, the lobby smelled strongly of marijuana and there was nobody at the counter to check us in. Three more groups came to check in. The phone was ringing off the hook and people were looking around asking "Is anyone here? " for quite a while until we all left. Booked another hotel online and left.

I was so tired when I got there I just went to bed it was comfortable the room was neat when we got ready to leave in our group The person behind desk went all the way back to all three rooms we had to make sure they wasn't tore up and we didn't check in till 3: 30 a.m. And we left about 9: 15 a.m. So I thought that was an insult to us right there

If I could give it a 6 I would! They say there are seven wonders in the world but after my stay here at the Econo Lodge I think we should re consider that. This place was one of a kind. The aroma left us all speechless when we walked into the door. The front desk was welcoming and extremely helpful! I will be making up excuses to come to Tampa Florida as often as possible to get myself another slice of paradise!

Nice place. Older rooms but clean. The lady at the reception area was wonderful. Clean linens and it was a good stop over. I would stay again.
