Needed a room for a night out. Wouldn’t need the room but for a few hours. I guess you get what you pay for... so here goes... We ignored the druggies and obvious “TUTEs” (is what we’ll call them wink wink) hanging around the parking lot and Lobby. You can tell there’s something up when you have off duty cops as security right?... right? Anywhooo... The first 30 mins of me being in the room I couldn’t watch tv because whoever was on the opposite side of us was having a heated argument over god knows what. Sounded like I was in the room with them. Called front desk and they said they would send security... well I doubt they did anything because they kept going... so me and my wife ended up just leaving before the bullets started flying through the wall (if you know what I mean) when we came back we get into bed and try to get some sleep. The bed was on this metal base and the Matress felt like it was a bed of jagged rocks.. the room is supposed to be non smoking but the sheets have cigarette burns in them. There’s a an over sized skirt on the base to cover up that it’s a metal base... which covers the floor too. @530am we’re back to partying because someone wants to play California Love so everyone can hear it. So I decided to get up and use the bathroom. Toilet won’t flush. I look on the side of the tub... a family of roaches has mad a home in the floor towel. I hop back in bed and at @750am I feel something crawling on my arm.. I grab my flashlight and there’s a roach crawling alongside my pillow...NOPE!!! Time to go! Woke my wife up as gently as possible while not letting her know what was going on so she didn’t have a fit... and left by 8am... not even gunna get into it with anybody at management. Just time to go. Keep the 80 bucks .. call eco lab and clean your place out. Unfortunately I can’t upload the videos so some screenshots will do.. I’m glad my car wasn’t stolen or broken into with all the people staring at us the whole time we were there. ALSO ... Whoever is in these reviews lying for this inn to have better ratings needs to be locked up.

Let me start with A MAN WALKED INTO MY ROOM WHILE I WAS IN IT. He was part of house keeping and even though i have a DO NOT DISTURB sign on my door he knocked. I told him no thank you and then he opened the door to come in. I guess he didnt hear I was in there. I promptly locked the security bolt and made sure the sign was still on the handle, but I was mortified at the thought that I might of been changing at the time. The last few days I've noticed my do not disturb sign at the bottem of my door. You have to push the handle down to make it fall, but I figured some kid was probably coming by and knocking it off. Now I think it was the staff just coming into my room. When I first got to the hotel I thought I was getting a good deal but the more time I spend here the worse it is. Lets start with the bathroom, it smelled strange when I first walked into it and didnt go away untill a few hours of being there. The frist day the wifi didnt work very well but it fixed its self. Checking in the night staff they had at the desk had no personality and was not customer service oreinted. He could not find my reservation and just slide my id and card back to me like it was my problem not his. I pulled up my confirmation and gave him my phone to check it out and he took my cards back and spent a few more minutes looking untill he found it and didnt have anything to say about the delay. At the end of the night I found that my shower curtain had mold growning on the bottem of it. The room was spacious but the bed and blankets were below average and had some spot on the sheet youd think they could of washe dout. There is a pool which is nice but at first finding your room can be complicated because they dont have any directional signs on the outside of the building or wall. You should just snap a photo of the map at the front desk. For safety of people not coming in my room id pay more money so if that dosent bother you then by all means this is the place for you. If you enjoy safety and customer service then go another place.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!!! There were holes in the walls. There was dirt on the sheets, the walls, the floors, the mirror, the curtains, the shower, the toilet, and everywhere else in the room. Everything was unclean and disgusting. Bugs everywhere crawling on me and my children. Literally roaches in every square inch of the room. My family and I checked in, immediately went to get dinner because it was late, by the time we got back inside and started eating the roaches were coming out from everywhere. They were climbing up the walls, the curtains, from behind the tv and even inside my bag. The outside was terrible, drug addicts and people loitering around the hotel. They have a 20 minute “inspection period” policy where you can inspect the room and can get a refund if you’re unhappy, but the roaches didn’t come out until after that. The bathroom smelled like urine and well water and got worse the more you used the shower or the toilet. The staff was horrible, they refused to offer me a refund on the room, told me that I was lying about there being bugs in the room, and when presented with pictures of the state of the room they told me again that they would not be offering me a refund. Absolutely horrible experience the health department needs to shut this place down. The hotels in the area call it the Roachway inn, that should tell you everything you know.

We stayed at the Rodeway in for 3 nights (Friday-Monday). Would we come back! No way! The pictures shown on their website are by far what this hotel really looks like. Halls and stairs are dirty and old. This is not a family friendly or comfortable hotel at all. The room was a nice size with hardwood floors. First thing we noticed when we walked in, the door security latch was broken. Then the bed skirt had burn marks. Bed was uncomfortable and squeaky, and pillows were lumpy, small and uncomfortable. Desk chair was dirty. During the first night we stayed, we noticed there were a several ppl that appeared to live there and not just staying for a few nights. This was confirmed when they were having a BBQ outside in the parking lot. BBQ grill, chairs and cooler all out. Then the first couple of nights, we were woken up by the same man yelling out profanities at 6am! Yes 6am! We did not feel safe at all. Then at 9am, we would get a knock from room service, never failing. 9am! We didn’t visit the pool, but the lobby had a clear notice stating that pool was for clients only and not their visitors or you would be kicked out. Would we recommend hotel, no! There are other hotels nearby that appeared to be in a better location and in better conditions.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. My wife and kids booked a stay here & let me say it is not what it seems at all. To start off, the price advertised changed at the front desk when checking in. Took some convincing for them to work with us on that end. We went into our room and we then took advantage of the pool so we honestly didn’t accommodate ourselves to even notice any flaws until we got done and went to wash up. We asked for a non smoking room only to get a room that smelled like an ash tray with burn marks all over the linens and roaches everywhere inside and out. We brought the attention to the front desk that same night and mentioned everything we noticed along with microwave not working or clean & that we’d check out the following day and offered a full refund only to go to front desk to check out the following day & after a long dispute back and forth he only gave us partial back. No class of professionalism and then raised his voice at my wife who was expressing her concerns for the illegal activities that went on during the night time from drug use to distribution etc.. So for any families with kids I strongly urge that you skip this location all around. Not suitable for the price that they charge.

Let's face it the place is run down and finishes in the rooms look horrible like missing drawer faces and build up grime on the doors and just about anything that you could touch But hey it's a two-star hotel and it's very close to the casino and ybor City could it be more than what it is now potentially but it would require a lot of capital investment so, here we are at a cheap spot in Tampa's big city. The bed is the old fashioned springtime so if you like to make a lot of noise and a rundown hotel this is certainly the spot for you. On the light side it's right off the highway and convenient to everything. And since the rooms are very old they're a lot larger than more modern hotel rooms are.
