Hotel South Tampa & Suites

Clean and neat. Friendly staff.

Rooms are super clean, I've not stayed in a room this clean for this price point in a long time. Pool is open 8AM-10PM and is somewhat heated so the water feels great any time of the day. Well lit parking lot that feels safe to sit out and enjoy the Tampa weather. Very close to the airport AND the cruise port. Uber was only $15 from airport and $10 to cruise port. Within walking distance to Publix, Dollar Tree, Walgreens, Circle k, Shell, and other gas stations/stores for snacks, drinks, and cigarettes, and within walking distance of a few different restaurants. Staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. Allowed us an early check in and proactively came by our room to make sure we had enough towels/pillows/and blankets. Unlike some "motels" this does not have anyone living here permanently, only overnight or weekly guests on vacations. There's no loud music, arguing, or police sirens like at some motels. The entire place was renovated after it was bought out from Howard Johnson and the work was done really well. Breakfast was great too

The customer service is fantastic everybody is so nice and so friendly and so helpful and always around which was nice I like the size of the room I love the bed so comfortable clean just a few things and I'm nitpicking but I'm very happy with what we had and the visit was very nice when we're back in the area this is the place we will stay

The staff was very helpful, friendly and responsive, especially Roger at the Front Desk. The room looked clean. (I looked under the mattress, pulled pillow case cover off, checked bathroom grout). Don't know if phone and tv remote were disinfected. I was surprised that there was a really nice kitchenette! I definitely would've used it had i stayed more than 1 night. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet. I love that they use dispensers for toiletries rather than single use plastic bottles! I didn't try breakfast or the pool, I checked in late and out early.

Check in and parking was easy. Room looked just like pictures and was very clean ( more than expected for pricing) Bathroom sink / mirror was especially nice and up to date( good for pictures or doing makeup). Room was large ( got a two queen bed), more then enough space for 4 people with full suitcases, Had a desk area, Small kitchen are with mini fridge, microwave (which was very clean inside) and coffee maker which they also proved coffee for and cups/ accessories. Ice bucket included as well and ice machine was a short 1 min walk from room. Had an elevator which was super nice since we were on the second floor and had heavy suitcases. Includes breakfast on site at a short walk on the first floor- Lovely set up with lots of options including a pancake machine which was delicious and easy to use ( makes them fresh in front of you!). Overall loved my stay and will most likely return if i visit the area again!!
