When we first got there, the staff had given us some keys to our room, but the room was not cleaned out so she had to switch to another room and when we got there, the TV didn’t work cause the battery were low so she switched the batteries out. The pool was dirty but the breakfast was good though.
I highly recommend this hotel. Stayed there 8 nights. Friendly and helpful staff, complimentary full hot and cold bkft, clean spacious rooms with ample towels, well kept pool area with sparkling clean water. Round the clock coffee, tea, and water. Excellent location only 12 min from the Tampa Intl Airport and major roads.
Courteous staff and seamless check-in process stood out. The room was clean and enjoyed the included breakfast.

This is a typical, low cost motel.
Walls were thin, as I could hear everything on every side of me.
Pillows were not great.
Breakfast was fine for the cost.
BUT - you get what you pay for. So, if you’re looking for a budget hotel, this could be for you.

Very welcoming staff, rooms were okay but i had 3 conditioners and no shampoos.
Comfortable accommodations including a good breakfast with diverse selection. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Location was great for our needs. I recommend Best Western.
Can’t find a thing to complain about. Quiet, super clean and modern, all amenities available: fitness, hot breakfast (very good), guest laundry, bedding and linens top of the line!
