Hotel South Tampa & Suites

everything was very good, clean and safe, also the pool was very clean. the hotel was affordable and would definitely stay there again

We came down for a cruise on the following day and stayed here. Its not in a tourist district but it was close to the cruise terminal. It was an older proprerty and looked like it had been recently renovated. We found it clean, and well appointed with thick and plush towels. Our overnight stay was pleasant. My only concern was the elevator was out or order and having to carry our suitcase up the stairs was not easy.

Rooms were a good size and equipped with a kitchenette. Parking was plentiful. There was a decent breakfast every morning. There were washers and dryers on site. My only real complaint was that the Pool was advertised as being heated. It was not. However, when we complained to management, they finally turned on the heat. Pool was nice and clean.

Free parking was great with lots of parking spots. Property was clean

The property was very nice and the outdoor heated pool was a plus.

Excellent customer service , nice pool area .

Great stay. Spacious, clean and well lit parking!

This hotel has a great location, and parking lot included on the property. It's not too far from anything. It also has excellent breakfast for those who need a good pick me up before heading to your next destination.

Nice clean room. Comfortable beds. Strong free WIFI. Ample free parking. Heated pool. Friendly staff. Convenient location.

In town for concerts with family. Staff were lovely, place was very clean, loved the cabanas at the pool. (which was also very clean) Would def stay here again.

Couldn't belive how dirty the room and bathroom were! They smelled. There was no power when I checked in. I was so disgusted, I needed to rebook at another hotel.

Cleaning issues....

All was good, the only negative is there was too much pubic hair in the shower from the previous people. When they clean the shower they got to make sure they rinse those down. But everything else was really nice and clean and quiet. Thanks!

The hotel is in a good area, the staff was friendly but the floors in the room were really dirty, I took a napkin, wet and wiped, the paper was black afterwards. Do not walk barefoot

My father only stayed with my done one night waiting for our air b&b but he enjoyed his stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The floor in the room could have been cleaned better and the bedding was not the most cleanliness looked to have dog hair on it I always bring extra bedding on trips for that reason.

The room didn't have any bath towels, only hand towels and washcloths. There was hair, mold and the door tract was grimy in the shower. The mini fridge was leaking water on the floor. The beverage machine was out of several drinks. I couldn't find the ice machine. There are no signs and it isn't in an obvious location. The rest of the room was very clean. I really liked that there was a mini fridge.

Friendly service, clean room and comfortable bed, what more is there!?!

This was my second stay. The first stay was terrific - why I went back. This stay was tarnished - literally. Upon entering my room, the dirtiness of the floor (it is a hard surface, not carpet) was so apparent & bad that I wore my shoes to the edge of the bed. The underside of the white bath towel attested to the dirtiness the next morning. Additionally, a large insect was obviously smashed against the wall above the bed. All of this & the absence of coffee, etc. next to the coffee machine made me wonder enough about the commitment of the cleaning staff to sniff the sheets. However, I got in after midnight & lived with it. I received an invitation that same night from Expedia to rate my check in & room. Checkin was great, room was not. The message from Expedia was they would share the message with the hotel. I wrote that I would stop by the desk in the morning to ask for attention to the room to make my stay better. When I stopped in early the next morning, no one came to the desk. I left without the opportunity to share this. During work that day I made several attempts to call the front desk to ask for better service. No one picked up, & there was no way to leave a message. Taking complaints seriously after the fact is OK if you’re available and willing to provide opportunities and follow up on those during the stay. If Expedia shared my initial virtual response, the hotel ignored it. Then, the hotel went mia in terms of availability to make things better.

The room was filthy you couldn’t walk barefoot in the room or your feet would be black. Housekeeping never replaced coffee in the room. No microwave in the room, I had to put towels on the chair because it was so filthy. Worst place ever.

We did not enjoy our stay here. Cleaning staff did replace towels daily, but the room had a dingy, run-down feel with rust and water stains on the walls. The bathroom had a barn door with a gap and no lock. The room had millipedes. There was a kitchen, but the sink is behind the wall of the bathroom and difficult to reach (see picture). We didn't find dishes until the end of our trip (in the dishwasher). Breakfast was provided but was unsavory (American cheese in an egg is an omelette?) There was only one nightstand. The pool "closes at dusk" but the bright lights over it stayed on all night. And there were prostitutes cruising the parking lot. The only good thing was the price.

Room was clean, large and quiet. Location is perfect for accessing activities in Tampa. Great price, too.

Property area well kept, easy to find parking, plenty of towels and soaps in room, and friendly hotel staff. However my room could definitely use improvements. Upon entering the room, a strong odor of cigarette smoke would hit you and it would be more noticeable when a/c fan was off or turned down, Both queen beds dipped near the headboard which made it difficult to sleep comfortably. Floor needed to be mopped and swept better there was a collection of dead bugs under the a/c unit and bottom of my feet would get black from just walking in the room, no hot water in kitchen, bathroom sink nor shower - it stayed cool or lukewarm, can hear all noises clear as day from outside.

The front desk staff is very nice. The room with the kitchen is nice size. The bathroom was clean but I did find a dead knat in the fridge. My only complaint is the only window faces the walkway so if you have the curtain open everyone who walks by can see directly into your room. There needs to be a sheer curtain as well so you can still have some privacy and not be in a dark room all day.

Fast check in, clean comfy room, good location. The beds we a little harder than we liked but still good. The only suggestion is to have breakfast till 9:30 am instead of 9. Enjoyed our stay & would return

It was a an okay stay for a few nights. I like that it was a glass shower. I didn’t like the layout too much, the bathroom felt cramped. I appreciate that there were bottles of shampoo, body wash, conditioner, hand soap, and body lotion. Eco-friendly and do not need to bring my own. The room could have been cleaner, there was hair in the shower, around the sink area, and bugs in lamp shades. Window shade was busted from previous guests, so some of the panels were just completely broken. The positioning of the rear window shined light right at the bed and my fiancé would be annoyed. There was a closet but there were no hangars or a bar to hang clothes. No luggage rack. Only one night stand (I had the side with no night stand) and there was a weird crater in the floor through the carpet. The desk chair was a bit filthy with previous stains. The first hair dryer I had issues with finding an outlet that would work for the plug. I found other outlets away from the vanity and dryer didn’t work, it was replaced immediately. Otherwise, the bed was clean and comfortable. Quiet area, breakfast was okay (went once during our stay), towels were clean, check in and out was fast and easy.

The room was clean, quiet and safe. Don't stay for the free breakfast if that is important because it's processed and there's no waffle station. All of the room doors are exposed and is a Florida-style roadside motel. Although this hotel has been updated, my daughter's allergies were awful due to the age of the building. Staff wasn't rude or polite, just indifferent. I'm giving it 3 stars because it was quiet, clean and safe.

AC needs maintenance, too noisy.

Property owners knew that they had a hot water issue but let me rent the room anyway. Had no hot water from 4:00 p.m. when we checked in until almost 9:30 the following morning. Renting rooms with no hot water in the hotel is unacceptable and illegal. Air conditioning unit was leaking condensation all over the front carpet so the carpet was wet and smelled like mildew. Attitude of the workers and the owners there is very cavalier they offer no compensation for not having hot water and for poor facility maintenance. Will not recommend this hotel nor will I stay here ever again.

Very accommodating for late arrival My room did not smell well, however they were able to move me.

Nice clean room Shower needs more water pressure or different shower head Would stay again

I have to be honest, from the reviews I definitely thought the place was going to be a gem or something exceptional, but I actually came face to face with the reality of the place (which was obvious). The place is basically what you pay for. The room is unremarkable and only has the basics. The amenities and the place in general are in average condition. What I do appreciate, and why I gave this place a good rating, is the hotel staff. From the moment I arrived, the afternoon CSR tried to accommodate me as much as possible despite the limitations in the rooms themselves, being super attentive. Then I had a problem with a bug problem in my room, which Ronald (The FD rep of the morning) easily helped me with. He was really kind, professional, and very helpful. He kept me in touch regarding the room change and other requests I made. The gentleman who works at breakfast was also excellent! Fast, friendly, and helpful. I have to give another mention to the HSKP team, as always despite the facilities, the rooms are in good condition! 10/10 The team that works there! I appreciate them for their service and their good work. Thank you all for your work and time :)

Our flight was delayed so badly and we didnt arrive until 4am. They were nothing but kind, quick and efficient to get us all set in our room with no delay. So appreciative. The room was LARGE. Clean, comfy. Great room. Zero complaints. We had to sleep in so we missed breakfast. Hughly recommend and close to the airport.

This hotel is a good option if you are on a budget. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Ronald at the front desk was the best. He is an expert at service and making guests feel at ease. Would stay here again.

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay, given the affordability. The check-in was a tad concerning when the clerk seemed to have trouble finding our reservation but eventually it was located. The room was nicer than expected. Cool, clean, comfortable, and smelled nice. Our trip was cut short due to a family emergency back home and they were very sympathetic. We were grateful and would return without question.

we booked a room and the air conditioner did not work. The staff quickly moved us to a room with a working air conditioner. They were very pleasant and accommodating. The rooms were clean.

Communication is non-existent. Had an issue at check-in. Had to change rooms twice on 1st night. The desk said he'd leave a message for management about a discount, but when we checked out there wasnt any message to management.

Super friendly front desk. Allowed me to check in early since my room was ready. Great location.

We had a late check in so the girl at the front desk said we could have a late check out at 12:30 for no extra charge . She said after 12:30 there would be an hourly charge . When 11am came the house cleaning service started knocking on our door I told her we have a 12:30 check out. She said ok. But then about 20 minutes later another person knocked on the door. We did not answer because we were getting dressed and in the shower. Another 16 minutes go by and a different. Cleaning lady knocked on the door. I told her we already told the other lady we have a 12:30 check out. She didn’t believe me and told me to call the front desk. I tried calling from the hotel phone but it did not work, so I had to use my cell phone. I spoke the the front desk and explained everything and she said ok you have a 12:30 checkout . At 12:05 a man came knocking on our door repeatedly and then then someone called me on my phone to say we had to leave. I told the front desk the situation on the way out and it is like she was clueless. I never had such a bad experience at any hotel. Also the breakfast is a joke the workers stare at you while you are eating to make sure you are not taking too much food or leaving with any food in your hands . Decent looking grounds but Terrible service .

Staff was wonderful. Rooms were clean. Grounds were well-maintained. Price was very reasonable. Breakfast was so-so. Service was excellent. I would recommend.

We were there for five days for night. The dust people are exceptional. There is an older guy that does the Don in area or he did it a couple days while we were there. He has the worst attitude ever and was so rude to me and others, and speaks down to women. Also, I think the parking lot could be a little bit cleaner due to whatever is draining garbage into the parking lot or sewer. The toilet tissue was not replaced in five days. I had to ask for a role nor was the bathroom such as the sink toilet and shower was not cleaned nor mopped and five days And the fourth day there they had not even emptied the trash. I should say not all of it I’m just giving my honest review even with these issues I would consider staying there again if another place was not available. Also the refrigerator leaks in room 143 to the bottom then to the floor and the carpet is smelly and rusty

Room was clean, large and quiet. Location is perfect for accessing activities in Tampa. Great price, too.

Good location for baseball stadium

Good location

We arrived earlier than check in and they accommodated us with all our luggage and had a room ready for us and we checked in and in the pool By 12:30.. we came in a day early for our cruise and this is a convenient location to the cruise port..

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. There's lots around, but it's a busy street that can be difficult to cross.

The property looked just as good in person as it does in the pictures and every staff member we met was great! We booked again for the last night of our trip too. It's close enough to TPA too.

Great area to stay from airport

Great place in south Tampa area. Nice clean pool, breakfast included and you got many option to eat and drink around the area.

Great location for dining.

Property was nice, it does need a lil updating. It's walking distance to a lot of restaurants and a very short drive to fishing piers.

Breakfast was excellent. There was only a single food-service person, and he was EXCELLENT. He was courteous, friendly and accommodating, even when the cafeteria got crowded. He single-handedly kept the dining area well-stocked with food and drinks.

The hotel was very clean and quiet. The breakfast options were pretty typical, but they had someone on staff who was keeping everything stocked and fresh. The housekeeping was very good and friendly. The internet worked fine. It was easy to drive to downtown and Ybor City. I would stay at this hotel again if I am in the Tampa area.

Very clean, Great Staff. Great breakfast!!!!

Breakfast was rough. The guy working it was running around trying to keep up and couldn’t. Another person working the breakfast would have made a big difference.

This property is older but definitely just remodeled. Pool furniture still vibrant. Fresh painted building and clean updated rooms. So many workers keeping the place tip top shape. Only disappointment was the hot breakfast eggs were premade omelets that were crunchy on the outside. But plenty of other options. Great value for the area.

Nice location and breakfast.

The property was clean and very conveniently located. The breakfast was mediocre and ended too early. Why have breakfast on a Saturday end at 9 am?

My overall stay was comfortable and the staff was courteous. However, I was disappointed with the breakfast offerings. Although it was listed as included, it was far from what I expected - more of a light offering than a breakfast. A clearer description of what is actually offered in the morning would be helpful.

We just spent 1 night here, the breakfast was scarce, the milk was frozen (my kids weren't able to have milk in their cereal). We were just looking to spend the night, so it met its purpose, but it is not a place where I'd stay again, or longer.

Room was clean and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was a nightmare! Everything was empty at 8:00am. No eggs, no sausage, no bagels, no juice.
